Revelation 10

1 Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow above his head. His face was like the sun, and his legs were like pillars of fire.

1 ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُ مَلاكاً آخَرَ قَوِيًّا نَازِلاً مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، لابِساً سَحَابَةً، وَعَلَى رَأْسِهِ قَوْسُ قُزَحٍ؛ وَجْهُهُ كَالشَّمْسِ، وَرِجْلاهُ كَعَمُودَيْنِ مِنْ نَارٍ،

2 He held in his hand a small scroll, which lay open. He placed his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land.

2 وَبِيَدِهِ دَرْجُ كِتَابٍ صَغِيرٌ مَفْتُوحٌ. فَوَضَعَ رِجْلَهُ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى الْبَحْرِ وَالْيُسْرَى عَلَى الأَرْضِ،

3 Then he cried out in a loud voice like the roar of a lion. And when he cried out, the seven thunders sounded their voices.

3 وَصَرَخَ صَرْخَةً عَظِيمَةً كَزَئِيرِ الأَسَدِ، دَوَّتْ بَعْدَهَا أَصْوَاتُ الرُّعُودِ السَّبْعَةِ.

4 When the seven thunders had spoken, I was about to put it in writing. But I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down.”

4 وَلَمَّا تَأَهَّبْتُ لِكِتَابَةِ مَا تَقُولُهُ الرُّعُودُ، سَمِعْتُ صَوْتاً مِنَ السَّمَاءِ يَقُولُ لِي: «لا تَكْتُبْ، فَمَا نَطَقَتْ بِهِ الرُّعُودُ يَجِبُ أَنْ تُبْقِيَهُ مَكْتُوماً».

5 Then the angel I had seen standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to heaven.

5 ثُمَّ إِنَّ الْمَلاكَ الَّذِي رَأَيْتُهُ وَاقِفاً عَلَى الْبَحْرِ وَالأَرْضِ رَفَعَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى نَحْوَ السَّمَاءِ،

6 And he swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and everything in it, the earth and everything in it, and the sea and everything in it: “There will be no more delay!

6 وَأَقْسَمَ بِالْحَيِّ إِلَى أَبَدِ الآبِدِينَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاءَ وَمَا فِيهَا وَالأَرْضَ وَمَا فِيهَا وَالْبَحْرَ وَمَا فِيهِ، إِنَّهُ لَنْ تَكُونَ مُهْلَةٌ بَعْدُ،

7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he begins to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be fulfilled, just as He proclaimed to His servants the prophets.”

7 فَحَالَمَا يَنْفُخُ الْمَلاكُ السَّابِعُ فِي بُوقِهِ، يَتِمُّ سِرُّ اللهِ، وَفْقاً لِمَا أَعْلَنَهُ لِعَبِيدِهِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ!

8 Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me again, saying, “Go, take the small scroll that lies open in the hand of the angel standing on the sea and on the land.”

8 ثُمَّ كَلَّمَنِي الصَّوْتُ السَّمَاوِيُّ ثَانِيَةً وَقَالَ لِي: «اذْهَبْ، خُذِ الْكِتَابَ الصَّغِيرَ الْمَفْتُوحَ فِي يَدِ الْمَلاكِ الْقَوِيِّ الْوَاقِفِ عَلَى الْبَحْرِ وَالأَرْضِ».

9 And I went to the angel and said, “Give me the small scroll.” “Take it and eat it,” he said. “It will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.”

9 فَذَهَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ وَطَلَبْتُ الْكِتَابَ مِنْهُ، فَأَجَابَنِي: «خُذْهُ وَالْتَهِمْهُ. سَتَجِدُ طَعْمَهُ فِي فَمِكَ حُلْواً كَالْعَسَلِ، وَلَكِنَّهُ سَيَجْعَلُ بَطْنَكَ مُرّاً!»

10 So I took the small scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth. But when I had eaten it, my stomach turned bitter.

10 وَلَمَّا أَخَذْتُهُ مِنْ يَدِهِ وَالْتَهَمْتُهُ، كَانَ حُلْواً كَالْعَسَلِ فِي فَمِي، وَلَكِنْ مَا إِنِ ابْتَلَعْتُهُ حَتَّى مَلأَ بَطْنِي مَرَارَةً!

11 And they told me, “You must prophesy again about many peoples and nations and tongues and kings.”

11 وَقِيلَ لِي: «عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَتَنَبَّأَ أَيْضاً بِشَأْنِ كَثِيرٍ مِنَ الشُّعُوبِ وَالأُمَمِ وَاللُّغَاتِ وَالْمُلُوكِ».
