1 A nd I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.

ثُمَّ سَمِعْتُ صَوتاً عالِياً مِنَ الهَيكَلِ يَقُولُ: «اذهَبُوا وَاسكُبُوا عَلَى الأرْضِ الآنِيَةَ السَّبعَةَ المَلِيئَةَ مِنْ غَضَبِ اللهِ.»

2 A nd the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.

فَرَفَعَ المَلاكُ الأوَّلُ إناءَهُ وَسَكَبَهُ عَلَى اليابِسَةِ، فَأصابَتْ قُرُوحٌ فَظِيعَةٌ وَمُؤلِمَةٌ جَمِيعَ الَّذِينَ يَحمِلُونَ عَلامَةَ الوَحشِ وَالَّذِينَ سَجَدُوا لِتِمثالِهِ.

3 A nd the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.

ثُمَّ سَكَبَ المَلاكُ الثّانِي إناءَهُ عَلَى البَحرِ، فَتَحَوَّلَ البَحرُ إلَى دَمٍ كَدَمِ رَجُلٍ مَيِّتٍ، وَماتَ كُلُّ شَيءٍ حَيٍّ فِي البَحرِ.

4 A nd the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.

ثُمَّ سَكَبَ المَلاكُ الثّالِثُ إناءَهُ عَلَى الأنهُرِ وَيَنابِيعِ المِياهِ، فَتَحَوَّلَتْ إلَى دَمٍ.

5 A nd I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.

وَسَمِعتُ المَلاكَ المَسؤُولَ عَنِ المِياهِ يَقُولُ: «إنَّكَ بارٌّ فِي حُكمِكَ هَذا، أيُّها الكائِنُ وَالَّذِي كانَ، أيُّها القُدُّوسُ.

6 F or they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

لِأنَّهُمْ سَفَكُوا دِماءَ الأنبِياءِ وَالمُؤمِنِينَ المُقَدَّسِينَ، فَأعطَيتَهُمْ دَماً لِيَشرَبُوا! هَذا ما يَستَحِقُّونَهُ.»

7 A nd I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.

ثُمَّ سَمِعْتُ المَذبَحَ يَقُولُ: «نَعَمْ، أيُّها الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ الَقَدِيرُ، أحكامُكَ حَقٌّ وَعَدلٌ.»

8 A nd the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.

ثُمَّ سَكَبَ المَلاكُ الرّابِعُ إناءَهُ عَلَى الشَّمسِ، فَأُعطِيَتْ أنْ تَحرِقَ النّاسَ بِالنّارِ،

9 A nd men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.

فَاحْتَرَقَ النّاسُ بِحَرارَتِها. فَلَعَنُوا اسْمَ اللهِ المُسَيطِرِ عَلَى هَذِهِ الكَوارِثِ، وَلَمْ يَتُوبُوا وَلَمْ يُمَجِّدُوهُ.

10 A nd the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,

ثُمَّ سَكَبَ المَلاكُ الخامِسُ إناءَهُ عَلَى الوَحشِ، فَتَفَرَّقَتْ مَملَكَتُهُ فِي الظَّلامِ. وَعَضَّ النّاسُ عَلَى ألسِنَتِهِمْ مِنَ الألَمِ.

11 A nd blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.

وَلَعَنُوا إلَهَ السَّماءِ مِنْ فَرطِ آلامِهِمْ وَقُرُوحِهِمْ، وَلَمْ يَتُوبُوا عَنْ أفعالِهِمْ.

12 A nd the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.

ثُمَّ سَكَبَ المَلاكُ السّادِسُ إناءَهُ عَلَى نَهرِ الفُراتِ العَظِيمِ، فَجَفَّتْ مِياهُهُ لِتَمهِيدِ الطَّرِيقِ لِمَجِيءِ مُلُوكِ الشَّرقِ.

13 A nd I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

ثُمَّ رَأيتُ ثَلاثَةَ أرواحٍ شِرِّيرَةٍ تُشبِهُ الضَّفادِعَ تَخرُجُ مِنْ فَمِ التِّنِّينِ، وَفَمِ الوَحشِ، وَفَمِ النَّبِيِّ الكَذّابِ.

14 F or they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

هَذِهِ الأرواحُ الشِّرِّيرَةُ هِيَ أرواحٌ شَيطانِيَّةٌ، لَها القُدرَةُ عَلَى أنْ تَعمَلَ مُعجِزاتٍ. فَذَهَبَتْ إلَى مُلُوكِ العالَمِ أجمَعْ، وَجَمَعَتْهُمْ مِنْ أجلِ مَعرَكَةِ اليَومِ العَظِيمِ، يَومِ اللهِ القَدِيرِ.

15 B ehold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

ها إنِّي آتِي فَجأةً مِثلَ لِصٍّ. هَنِيئاً لِمَنْ يَبقَى مُستَيقِظاً، وَمَلابِسُهُ قُربَهُ، حَتَّى لا يُضطَرَّ أنْ يَذهَبَ عارِياً، فَلا يَرَى النّاسُ عَورَتَهُ!»

16 A nd he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

وَهَكَذا جَمَعَتِ الأرواحُ الشِّرِّيْرَةُ المُلُوكَ فِي مَكانٍ يُدعَى بِالعِبرِيَّةِ «هَرمَجِدُّونَ.»

17 A nd the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.

ثُمَّ سَكَبَ المَلاكُ السّابِعُ إناءَهُ فِي الهَواءِ، فَخَرَجَ صَوتٌ عَظِيمٌ مِنَ العَرشِ الَّذِي فِي الهَيكَلِ وَقالَ: «لَقَدْ تَمَّ!»

18 A nd there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.

فَحَدَثَتْ رُعُودٌ وَبُرُوقٌ وَزُلزِلَتِ الأرْضُ. وَهُوَ أشَدُّ زِلزالٍ يَحدُثُ مُنذُ أنْ ظَهَرَ الإنسانُ عَلَى الأرْضِ! إلَى هَذا الحَدِّ كانَتْ شِدَّتُهُ!

19 A nd the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

فانشَقَّتِ المَدِينَةُ إلَى ثَلاثَةِ أقسامٍ، وَسَقَطَتْ مُدُنُ الوَثَنِيِّينَ. وَلَمْ يَنسَ اللهُ أنْ يُعاقِبَ بابِلَ العَظيمَةَ، فَأعطاها كَأسَ خَمرِ غَضَبِهِ السّاخِطِ.

20 A nd every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

جَمِيعُ الجُزُرِ اختَفَتْ، وَما عادَتِ الجِبالُ مَوجُودَةٌ.

21 A nd there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

سَقَطَ بَرَدٌ عَظِيمٌ، تَزِنُ الحَبَّةُ الواحِدَةُ مِنهُ نَحوَ خَمْسةٍ وَثَلاثينَ كِيلُوغَراماً! سَقَطَ عَلَى النّاسِ مِنَ السَّماءِ، فَلَعَنَ النّاسُ اللهَ بِسَبَبِ كارِثَةِ البَرَدِ، لِأنَّها كانَتْ فَظِيعَةً.
