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 إِعْلَانُ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ ٱللهُ، لِيُرِيَ عَبِيدَهُ مَا لَابُدَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَنْ قَرِيبٍ، وَبَيَّنَهُ مُرْسِلًا بِيَدِ مَلَاكِهِ لِعَبْدِهِ يُوحَنَّا،

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

2 ٱلَّذِي شَهِدَ بِكَلِمَةِ ٱللهِ وَبِشَهَادَةِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ بِكُلِّ مَا رَآهُ.

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 وَلِلَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ أَقْوَالَ ٱلنُّبُوَّةِ، وَيَحْفَظُونَ مَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِيهَا، لِأَنَّ ٱلْوَقْتَ قَرِيبٌ.

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 يُوحَنَّا، إِلَى ٱلسَّبْعِ ٱلْكَنَائِسِ ٱلَّتِي فِي أَسِيَّا: نِعْمَةٌ لَكُمْ وَسَلَامٌ مِنَ ٱلْكَائِنِ وَٱلَّذِي كَانَ وَٱلَّذِي يَأْتِي، وَمِنَ ٱلسَّبْعَةِ ٱلْأَرْوَاحِ ٱلَّتِي 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 ٱلْمَسِيحِ ٱلشَّاهِدِ ٱلْأَمِينِ، ٱلْبِكْرِ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ، وَرَئِيسِ مُلُوكِ ٱلْأَرْضِ: ٱلَّذِي أَحَبَّنَا، وَقَدْ غَسَّلَنَا مِنْ خَطَايَانَا بِدَمِهِ،

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 وَجَعَلَنَا مُلُوكًا وَكَهَنَةً لِلهِ أَبِيهِ، لَهُ ٱلْمَجْدُ وَٱلسُّلْطَانُ إِلَى أَبَدِ ٱلْآبِدِينَ. آمِينَ.

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 هُوَذَا يَأْتِي مَعَ ٱلسَّحَابِ، وَسَتَنْظُرُهُ كُلُّ عَيْنٍ، وَٱلَّذِينَ طَعَنُوهُ، وَيَنُوحُ عَلَيْهِ جَمِيعُ قَبَائِلِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. 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 هُوَ ٱلْأَلِفُ وَٱلْيَاءُ، ٱلْبِدَايَةُ وَٱلنِّهَايَةُ» يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْكَائِنُ وَٱلَّذِي كَانَ وَٱلَّذِي يَأْتِي، ٱلْقَادِرُ 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 أَخُوكُمْ وَشَرِيكُكُمْ فِي ٱلضِّيقَةِ وَفِي مَلَكُوتِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ وَصَبْرِهِ. كُنْتُ فِي ٱلْجَزِيرَةِ ٱلَّتِي تُدْعَى بَطْمُسَ مِنْ أَجْلِ كَلِمَةِ ٱللهِ، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ شَهَادَةِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

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

10 كُنْتُ فِي ٱلرُّوحِ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَسَمِعْتُ وَرَائِي صَوْتًا عَظِيمًا كَصَوْتِ بُوقٍ

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 قَائِلًا: «أَنَا هُوَ ٱلْأَلِفُ وَٱلْيَاءُ. ٱلْأَوَّلُ وَٱلْآخِرُ. وَٱلَّذِي تَرَاهُ، ٱكْتُبْ فِي كِتَابٍ وَأَرْسِلْ إِلَى ٱلسَّبْعِ ٱلْكَنَائِسِ ٱلَّتِي فِي أَسِيَّا: إِلَى أَفَسُسَ، وَإِلَى سِمِيرْنَا، وَإِلَى بَرْغَامُسَ، وَإِلَى ثِيَاتِيرَا، وَإِلَى سَارْدِسَ، وَإِلَى فِيلَادَلْفِيَا، وَإِلَى لَاوُدِكِيَّةَ».

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

12 فَٱلْتَفَتُّ لِأَنْظُرَ ٱلصَّوْتَ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ مَعِي. وَلَمَّا ٱلْتَفَتُّ رَأَيْتُ سَبْعَ مَنَايِرَ 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 وَفِي وَسْطِ ٱلسَّبْعِ ٱلْمَنَايِرِ شِبْهُ ٱبْنِ إِنْسَانٍ، مُتَسَرْبِلًا بِثَوْبٍ إِلَى ٱلرِّجْلَيْنِ، وَمُتَمَنْطِقًا عِنْدَ ثَدْيَيْهِ بِمِنْطَقَةٍ 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 وَأَمَّا رَأْسُهُ وَشَعْرُهُ فَأَبْيَضَانِ كَٱلصُّوفِ ٱلْأَبْيَضِ كَٱلثَّلْجِ، وَعَيْنَاهُ كَلَهِيبِ نَارٍ.

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

15 وَرِجْلَاهُ شِبْهُ ٱلنُّحَاسِ ٱلنَّقِيِّ، كَأَنَّهُمَا مَحْمِيَّتَانِ فِي أَتُونٍ. وَصَوْتُهُ كَصَوْتِ مِيَاهٍ كَثِيرَةٍ.

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 وَمَعَهُ فِي يَدِهِ ٱلْيُمْنَى سَبْعَةُ كَوَاكِبَ، وَسَيْفٌ مَاضٍ ذُو حَدَّيْنِ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ فَمِهِ، وَوَجْهُهُ كَٱلشَّمْسِ وَهِيَ تُضِيءُ فِي قُوَّتِهَا.

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 سَقَطْتُ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ كَمَيِّتٍ، فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ ٱلْيُمْنَى عَلَيَّ قَائِلًا لِي: «لَا تَخَفْ، أَنَا هُوَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ وَٱلْآخِرُ،

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 وَٱلْحَيُّ. وَكُنْتُ مَيْتًا، وَهَا أَنَا حَيٌّ إِلَى أَبَدِ ٱلْآبِدِينَ! آمِينَ. وَلِي مَفَاتِيحُ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ وَٱلْمَوْتِ.

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

19 فَٱكْتُبْ مَا رَأَيْتَ، وَمَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ، وَمَا هُوَ عَتِيدٌ أَنْ يَكُونَ بَعْدَ هَذَا.

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 سِرُّ ٱلسَّبْعَةِ ٱلْكَوَاكِبِ ٱلَّتِي رَأَيْتَ عَلَى يَمِينِي، وَٱلسَّبْعِ ٱلْمَنَايِرِ ٱلذَّهَبِيَّةِ: ٱلسَّبْعَةُ ٱلْكَوَاكِبُ هِيَ مَلَائِكَةُ ٱلسَّبْعِ ٱلْكَنَائِسِ، وَٱلْمَنَايِرُ ٱلسَّبْعُ ٱلَّتِي رَأَيْتَهَا هِيَ ٱلسَّبْعُ ٱلْكَنَائِسِ».
