1 I heard a loud voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels, “Go and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God on the earth!”

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

2 T he first went, and poured out his bowl into the earth, and it became a harmful and evil sore on the people who had the mark of the beast, and who worshiped his image.

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

3 T he second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man. Every living thing in the sea died.

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

4 T he third poured out his bowl into the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood.

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

5 I heard the angel of the waters saying, “You are righteous, who are and who were, you Holy One, because you have judged these things.

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

6 F or they poured out the blood of the saints and the prophets, and you have given them blood to drink. They deserve this.”

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

7 I heard the altar saying, “Yes, Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are your judgments.”

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

8 T he fourth poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was given to him to scorch men with fire.

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

9 P eople were scorched with great heat, and people blasphemed the name of God who has the power over these plagues. They didn’t repent and give him glory.

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

10 T he fifth poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was darkened. They gnawed their tongues because of the pain,

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

11 a nd they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores. They didn’t repent of their works.

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

12 T he sixth poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates. Its water was dried up, that the way might be prepared for the kings that come from the sunrise.

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

13 I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, something like frogs;

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

14 f or they are spirits of demons, performing signs; which go out to the kings of the whole inhabited earth, to gather them together for the war of that great day of God, the 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 “ Behold, I come like a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his clothes, so that he doesn’t 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 H e gathered them together into the place which is called in Hebrew, Megiddo.

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

17 T he seventh poured out his bowl into the air. A loud voice came 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 T here were lightnings, sounds, and thunders; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since there were men on the earth, so great an earthquake, so mighty.

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

19 T he great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. Babylon the great was remembered in the sight of God, to give to 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 E very island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

جَمِيعُ الجُزُرِ اختَفَتْ، وَما عادَتِ الجِبالُ مَوجُودَةٌ.

21 G reat hailstones, about the weight of a talent, came down out of the sky on people. People blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, for this plague is exceedingly severe.

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.
