1 W hen the Lamb broke the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.

عِندَها كَسَرَ الحَمَلُ الخَتْمَ السّابِعَ، فَسادَ الصَّمتُ فِي السَّماءِ نِصفَ ساعَةٍ.

2 A nd I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.

وَرَأيتُ المَلائِكَةَ السَّبعَةَ الواقِفِينَ أمامَ اللهِ، وَقَدْ حَمَلُوا سَبعَةَ أبواقٍ.

3 A nother angel came and stood at the altar, holding a golden censer; and much incense was given to him, so that he might add it to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar which was before the throne.

ثُمَّ أتَى مَلاكٌ آخَرُ وَوَقَفَ عِندَ المَذبَحِ وَمَعَهُ مِبخَرَةٌ ذَهَبِيَّةٌ وَبَخُورٌ كَثِيرٌ، لِيُقَدِّمَهُ مَعَ صَلَواتِ شَعبِ اللهِ المُقَدَّسِينَ عَلَى المَذبَحِ الذَّهَبِيَّ أمامَ العَرشِ.

4 A nd the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel’s hand.

فَتَصاعَدَ البَخُورُ أمامَ اللهِ مِنْ يَدِ المَلاكِ، تَصاعَدَ مَعَ صَلَواتِ شَعبِ اللهِ المُقَدَّسِينَ.

5 T hen the angel took the censer and filled it with the fire of the altar, and threw it to the earth; and there followed peals of thunder and sounds and flashes of lightning and an earthquake.

ثُمَّ أخَذَ المَلاكُ المِبخَرَةَ، وَمَلأها بِنارٍ مِنَ المَذبَحِ، وَرَماها إلَى الأرْضِ، فَحَدَثَتْ رُعودٌ وَبُروقُ وَزُلزِلَتِ الأرْضُ! المَلائِكَةُ السَّبعَةُ يَنفُخُونَ فِي أبواقِهِم

6 A nd the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound them.

أمّا المَلائِكَةُ السَّبعَةُ الَّذِينَ يَحمِلُونَ الأبواقَ السَّبعَةَ، فَاسْتَعَدُّوا لِكَي يَنفُخُوا فِي أبواقِهِمْ.

7 T he first sounded, and there came hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth; and a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.

فَنَفَخَ المَلاكُ الأوَّلُ فِي بُوقِهِ، فَظَهَرَ بَرَدٌ وَنارٌ مَمزُوجانِ بِالدَّمِ، وَأُلقِيا عَلَى الأرْضِ، فَحُرِقَ ثُلْثُ الأرْضِ وَثُلْثُ الأشجارِ وَكُلُّ العُشْبِ الأخضَرِ.

8 T he second angel sounded, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea; and a third of the sea became blood,

وَنَفَخَ المَلاكُ الثّانِي فِي بُوقِهِ، فَأُلقِيَ شَيءٌ أشبَهُ بِجَبَلٍ كَبِيرٍ مُشتَعِلٍ فِي البَحرِ، فَتَحَوَّلَ ثُلْثُ البَحْرِ إلَى دَمٍ،

9 a nd a third of the creatures which were in the sea and had life, died; and a third of the ships were destroyed.

وَماتَ ثُلْثُ الكائِناتِ الحَيَّةِ الَّتِي كانَتْ فِي البَحرِ، وَدُمِّرَ ثُلْثُ السُّفُنِ.

10 T he third angel sounded, and a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of waters.

وَنَفَخَ المَلاكُ الثّالِثُ فِي بُوقِهِ، فَسَقَطَ نَجمٌ كَبِيرٌ مُلْتَهِبٌ كَالمِشعَلِ مِنَ السَّماءِ عَلَى ثُلْثِ الأنهُرِ وَعَلَى مِياهِ اليَنابِيعِ.

11 T he name of the star is called Wormwood; and a third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter.

وَكانَ اسْمُ ذَلِكَ النَّجمِ «الأفسَنْتِيْنَ» فَصارَ ثُلْثُ المِياهِ كُلُّها مُرَّةً كَالأفسَنْتينِ، وَكَثِيرُونَ ماتُوا لِأنَّهُمْ شَرِبُوا مِنْ تِلكَ المِياهِ لِأنَّها صارَتْ مُرَّةً.

12 T he fourth angel sounded, and a third of the sun and a third of the moon and a third of the stars were struck, so that a third of them would be darkened and the day would not shine for a third of it, and the night in the same way.

ثُمَّ نَفَخَ المَلاكُ الرّابِعُ فِي بُوقِهِ فَضُرِبَ ثُلْثُ الشَّمسِ وَثُلْثُ القَمَرِ وَثُلْثُ النُّجُومِ، فَفَقَدَتْ ثُلْثَ إشعاعِها. وَهَكَذا فَقَدَ النَّهارُ ثُلْثَ ضُوئِهِ، وَكَذَلِكَ اللَّيلُ.

13 T hen I looked, and I heard an eagle flying in midheaven, saying with a loud voice, “ Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!”

ثُمَّ نَظَرْتُ وَسَمِعْتُ نَسراً يَطِيرُ عالِياً وَيَصرُخُ: «الوَيلُ الوَيلُ الوَيلُ لِسُكّانِ الأرْضِ، بِسَبَبِ أصواتِ أبواقِ المَلائِكَةِ الثَّلاثَةِ الباقينَ الَّذِينَ سَيَنفُخُونَ فِي أبواقِهِمْ!»
