Revelation 1

1 This is the revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants what must soon come to pass. He made it known by sending His angel to His servant John,

1 هَذِهِ رُؤْيَا أَعْطَاهَا اللهُ لِيَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ، لِيَكْشِفَ لِعَبِيدِهِ عَنْ أُمُورٍ لابُدَّ أَنْ تَحْدُثَ عَنْ قَرِيبٍ. وَأَعْلَنَهَا الْمَسِيحُ لِعَبْدِهِ يُوحَنَّا عَنْ طَرِيقِ مَلاكٍ أَرْسَلَهُ لِذَلِكَ.

2 who testifies to everything he saw. This is the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.

2 وَقَدْ شَهِدَ يُوحَنَّا بِكَلِمَةِ اللهِ وَبِشَهَادَةِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ، بِجَمِيعِ الأُمُورِ الَّتِي رَآهَا.

3 Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear and obey what is written in it, because the time is near.

3 طُوبَى لِلَّذِي يَقْرَأُ كِتَابَ النُّبُوءَةِ هَذَا وَلِلَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَهُ، فَيُرَاعُونَ مَا جَاءَ فِيهِ، لأَنَّ مَوْعِدَ إِتْمَامِ النُّبُوءَةِ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ!

4 John, To the seven churches in the province of Asia: Grace and peace to you from Him who is and was and is to come, and from the seven spirits before His throne,

4 مِنْ يُوحَنَّا، إِلَى الْكَنَائِسِ السَّبْعِ فِي مُقَاطَعَةِ آسْيَّا: لَكُمُ النِّعْمَةُ وَالسَّلامُ مِنَ الْكَائِنِ وَالَّذِي كَانَ وَالَّذِي سَيَأْتِي، وَمِنَ الأَرْوَاحِ السَّبْعَةِ الْمَاثِلَةِ أَمَامَ عَرْشِهِ،

5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and has released us from our sins by His blood,

5 وَمِنْ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ الشَّاهِدِ الأَمِينِ، بِكْرِ الْقَائِمِينَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ، مَلِكِ مُلُوكِ الأَرْضِ، ذَاكَ الَّذِي بِدَافِعِ مَحَبَّتِهِ لَنَا مَاتَ لأَجْلِنَا فَغَسَلَنَا بِدَمِهِ مِنْ خَطَايَانَا،

6 who has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father—to Him be the glory and power forever and ever! Amen.

6 وَجَعَلَ مِنَّا مَمْلَكَةً، وَكَهَنَةً لِلهِ أَبِيهِ، لَهُ الْمَجْدُ وَالسُّلْطَانُ إِلَى أَبَدِ الآبِدِينَ. آمِين!

7 Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him—even those who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. So shall it be! Amen.

7 هَا هُوَ آتٍ مَعَ السَّحَابِ! سَتَرَاهُ عُيُونُ الْجَمِيعِ، حَتَّى أُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ طَعَنُوهُ، وَتَنُوحُ بِسَبَبِهِ قَبَائِلُ الأَرْضِ كُلُّهَا! نَعَمْ، آمِينَ!

8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, who is and was and is to come—the Almighty.

8 «أَنَا الأَلِفُ وَالْيَاءُ» (الْبِدَايَةُ وَالنِّهَايَةُ). هَذَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإِلهُ الْكَائِنُ الَّذِي كَانَ الَّذِي سَيَأْتِي، الْقَادِرُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ.

9 I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation and kingdom and perseverance that are in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God and my testimony about Jesus.

9 أَنَا، يُوحَنَّا أَخَاكُمْ وَشَرِيكَكُمْ فِي الضِّيقَةِ وَالْمَلَكُوتِ وَالصَّبْرِ فِي يَسُوعَ، كُنْتُ مَنْفِيًّا فِي الْجَزِيرَةِ الَّتِي تُسَمَّى بَطْمُسَ، لأَجْلِ كَلِمَةِ اللهِ وَشَهَادَةِ يَسُوعَ.

10 On the Lord’s day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet,

10 وَفِي يَوْمِ الرَّبِّ، صِرْتُ فِي الرُّوحِ، فَسَمِعْتُ مِنْ وَرَائِي صَوْتاً عَالِياً كَصَوْتِ الْبُوقِ

11 saying, “Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”

11 يَقُولُ: «دَوِّنْ مَا تَرَاهُ فِي كِتَابٍ، وَابْعَثْ بِهِ إِلَى الْكَنَائِسِ السَّبْعِ: فِي أَفَسُسَ، وَسِمِيرْنَا، وَبَرْغَامُسَ، وَثِيَاتِيرَا، وَسَارْدِسَ، وَفِيلادَلْفِيَا، وَلاوُدِكِيَّةَ».

12 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands,

12 وَعِنْدَمَا الْتَفَتُّ نَحْوَ الصَّوْتِ، رَأَيْتُ سَبْعَ مَنَائِرَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ،

13 and among the lampstands was One like the Son of Man, dressed in a long robe, with a golden sash around His chest.

13 يَقِفُ وَسَطَهَا كَائِنٌ يُشْبِهُ ابْنَ الإِنْسَانِ وَيَرْتَدِي ثَوْباً طَوِيلاً إِلَى الرِّجْلَيْنِ، يَلُفُّ صَدْرَهُ حِزَامٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ.

14 The hair of His head was white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes were like a blazing fire.

14 شَعْرُ رَأْسِهِ نَاصِعُ الْبَيَاضِ كَالصُّوفِ أَوِ الثَّلْجِ، وَعَيْنَاهُ كَشُعْلَةٍ مُلْتَهِبَةٍ.

15 His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and His voice was like the roar of many waters.

15 رِجْلاهُ تَلْمَعَانِ كَأَنَّهُمَا نُحَاسٌ نَقِيٌّ مَصْقُولٌ بِالنَّارِ، وَصَوْتُهُ يُدَوِّي كَصَوْتِ شَلّالٍ غَزِيرٍ،

16 He held in His right hand seven stars, and a sharp double-edged sword came from His mouth. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.

16 وَوَجْهُهُ يَتَوَهَّجُ بِالنُّورِ كَشَمْسِ الظَّهِيرَةِ. وَكَانَ فِي يَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى سَبْعَةُ نُجُومٍ، وَمِنْ فَمِهِ يَخْرُجُ سَيْفٌ قَاطِعٌ ذُو حَدَّيْنِ.

17 When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. But He placed His right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last,

17 فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُهُ ارْتَمَيْتُ عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْهِ كَالْمَيْتِ، فَلَمَسَنِي بِيَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى وَقَالَ: «لا تَخَفْ! أَنَا الأَوَّلُ وَالآخِرُ،

18 the Living One. I was dead, and behold, now I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of Death and of Hades.

18 أَنَا الْحَيُّ. كُنْتُ مَيْتاً، وَلَكِنْ هَا أَنَا حَيٌّ إِلَى أَبَدِ الآبِدِينَ. وَلِي مَفَاتِيحُ الْمَوْتِ وَالْهَاوِيَةِ.

19 Therefore write down the things you have seen, the things that are, and the things that will happen after this.

19 دَوِّنْ مَا رَأَيْتَهُ، وَمَا يَحْدُثُ الآنَ، وَمَا يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَحْدُثَ بَعْدَهُ.

20 This is the mystery of the seven stars you saw in My right hand and of the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

20 وَهَذَا سِرُّ النُّجُومِ السَّبْعَةِ الَّتِي رَأَيْتَهَا فِي يَمِينِي، وَمَنَائِرِ الذَّهَبِ السَّبْعِ: النُّجُومُ السَّبْعَةُ تُمَثِّلُ مَلائِكَةَ الْكَنَائِسِ السَّبْعِ، أَمَّا الْمَنَائِرُ السَّبْعُ فَهِيَ تُمَثِّلُ الْكَنَائِسَ السَّبْعَ نَفْسَهَا.
