Revelation 11

1 Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, and count the number of worshipers there.

1 وَأُعْطِيتُ عَصَا قِيَاسٍ، وَأُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَقِيسَ هَيْكَلَ اللهِ وَالْمَذْبَحَ، وَأَنْ أُحْصِيَ عَدَدَ الْمُتَعَبِّدِينَ فِيهِ.

2 But exclude the courtyard outside the temple. Do not measure it, because it has been given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for 42 months.

2 وَقِيلَ لِي: «لا تَقِسِ السَّاحَةَ الْخَارِجِيَّةَ لأَنَّهَا خُصِّصَتْ لِلأُمَمِ، وَسَيَدُوسُونَ الْمَدِينَةَ المُقَدَّسَةَ مُدَّةَ اثْنَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعِينَ شَهْراً،

3 And I will empower my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.”

3 وَلَكِنِّي سَأَمْنَحُ شَاهِدَيَّ أَنْ يَتَنَبَّآ مُدَّةَ أَلْفٍ وَمِئَتَيْنِ وَسِتِّينَ يَوْماً، وَهُمَا يَلْبَسَانِ ثَوْبَيْنِ مِنَ الْوَبَرِ».

4 These witnesses are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.

4 هَذَانِ الشَّاهِدَانِ هُمَا شَجَرَتَا الزَّيْتُونِ وَالْمَنَارَتَانِ الْقَائِمَتَانِ أَمَامَ رَبِّ الأَرْضِ.

5 If anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouths and devours their enemies. In this way, anyone who wants to harm them must be killed.

5 فَإِذَا حَاوَلَ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَمَسَّهُمَا بِسُوءٍ تَخْرُجُ نَارٌ مِنْ فَمِهِمَا وَتَلْتَهِمُ أَعْدَاءَهُمَا. ذَلِكَ يَجِبُ أَنْ يَكُونَ مَصِيرُ مَنْ يُحَاوِلُ أَنْ يُؤْذِيَهُمَا.

6 These witnesses have power to shut the sky so that no rain will fall during the days of their prophecy, and power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they wish.

6 وَلِلشَّاهِدَيْنِ السُّلْطَةُ أَنْ يُغْلِقَا السَّمَاءَ فَلا تُمْطِرَ طِيلَةَ مُدَّةِ نُبُوءَتِهِمَا، وَأَنْ يُحَوِّلا مِيَاهَ الأَنْهَارِ وَالْبِحَارِ دَماً، وَأَنْ يُنْزِلا الْبَلايَا بِالأَرْضِ، كُلَّمَا أَرَادَا.

7 When the two witnesses have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will wage war with them, and will overpower and kill them.

7 وَعِنْدَمَا يُكْمِلانِ شَهَادَتَهُمَا يُعْلِنُ الْوَحْشُ الصَّاعِدُ مِنَ الْهَاوِيَةِ الْحَرْبَ عَلَيْهِمَا، وَيَهْزِمُهُمَا وَيَقْتُلُهُمَا

8 Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city—figuratively called Sodom and Egypt—where their Lord was also crucified.

8 وَتَبْقَى جُثَّتَاهُمَا مَطْرُوحَتَيْنِ فِي سَاحَةِ الْمَدِينَةِ الْعُظْمَى الَّتِي تَرْمُزُ إِلَيْهَا «سَدُومُ» أَوْ «مِصْرُ»، حَيْثُ صُلِبَ رَبُّهُمَا.

9 For three and a half days all peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will view their bodies and will not permit them to be laid in a tomb.

9 فَيَرَاهُمَا أُنَاسٌ مِنْ مُخْتَلِفِ الشُّعُوبِ وَالْقَبَائِلِ وَاللُّغَاتِ وَالأُمَمِ، مُدَّةَ ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ وَنِصْفِ الْيَوْمِ، وَلا يُؤْذَنُ لأَحَدٍ بِدَفْنِهِمَا.

10 And those who dwell on the earth will gloat over them and celebrate and send one another gifts, because these two prophets had tormented them.

10 وَيَشْمَتُ بِهِمَا أَهْلُ الأَرْضِ، فَيَفْرَحُونَ كَأَنَّهُمْ فِي عِيدٍ، وَيَتَبَادَلُونَ الْهَدَايَا، لأَنَّ هَذَيْنِ النَّبِيَّيْنِ كَانَا قَدْ عَذَّبَاهُمْ كَثِيراً.

11 But after the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered the two witnesses, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell upon those who saw them.

11 وَبَعْدَ أَنْ تَمُرَّ الأَيَّامُ الثَّلاثَةُ وَنِصْفُ الْيَوْمِ يَبْعَثُ اللهُ فِي النَّبِيَّيْنِ رُوحَ الْحَيَاةِ، فَيَنْهَضَانِ وَاقِفَيْنِ، وَيَسْتَوْلِي عَلَى النَّاظِرِينَ إِلَيْهِمَا خَوْفٌ شَدِيدٌ.

12 And the witnesses heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Come up here.” And they went up to heaven in a cloud as their enemies watched them.

12 وَيَدْعُوهُمَا صَوْتٌ عَالٍ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ: «اصْعَدَا إِلَى هُنَا»، فَيَصْعَدَانِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فِي سَحَابَةٍ بِمَشْهَدٍ مِنْ أَعْدَائِهِمَا.

13 And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand were killed in the quake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.

13 وَفِي الْوَقْتِ ذَاتِهِ يَحْدُثُ زِلْزَالٌ عَنِيفٌ يُدَمِّرُ عُشْرَ الْمَدِينَةِ، وَيُهْلِكُ سَبْعَةَ آلافٍ مِنْ سَاكِنِيهَا. فَيَرْتَعِبُ النَّاجُونَ وَيُمَجِّدُونَ إِلهَ السَّمَاءِ.

14 The second woe has passed. Behold, the third woe is coming shortly.

14 انْقَضَى الْوَيْلُ الثَّانِي، وَهَا هُوَ الثَّالِثُ يَأْتِي سَرِيعاً!

15 Then the seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and loud voices called out in heaven: “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign forever and ever.”

15 وَنَفَخَ الْمَلاكُ السَّابِعُ فِي بُوقِهِ فَسُمِعَتْ أَصْوَاتٌ عَالِيَةٌ فِي السَّمَاءِ تَقُولُ: «قَدْ صَارَ مُلْكُ الْعَالَمِ لِرَبِّنَا وَمَسِيحِهِ. إِنَّهُ يَمْلِكُ إِلَى أَبَدِ الآبِدِينَ».

16 And the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God,

16 فَجَثَا الشُّيُوخُ الأَرْبَعَةُ وَالْعِشْرُونَ الجَالِسُونَ عَلَى عُرُوشِهِمْ فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ وَخَرُّوا عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ سَاجِدِينَ لِلهِ.

17 saying: “We give thanks to You, O Lord God Almighty, the One who is and who was, because You have taken Your great power and have begun to reign.

17 وَقَالُوا: «نَحْمَدُكَ أَيُّهَا الإِلهُ الْقَدِيرُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، الْكَائِنُ الَّذِي كَانَ، لأَنَّكَ الآنَ قَدْ تَقَلَّدْتَ قُوَّتَكَ الْعُظْمَى وَبَاشَرْتَ مُلْكَكَ.

18 The nations were enraged, and Your wrath has come. The time has come to judge the dead and to reward Your servants the prophets, as well as the saints and those who fear Your name, both small and great—and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”

18 غَضِبَتْ الشُّعُوبُ عَلَيْكَ، فَجَاءَ دَوْرُ غَضَبِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ. جَاءَتِ السَّاعَةُ لِيُدَانَ الأَمْوَاتُ، وَتُكَافِئَ عَبِيدَكَ الأَنْبِيَاءَ وَالْقِدِّيسِينَ والْمُتَّقِينَ اسْمَكَ، صِغَاراً وَكِبَاراً، وَتُهْلِكَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا يُدَمِّرُونَ الأَرْضَ!»

19 Then the temple of God in heaven was opened, and the ark of His covenant appeared in His temple. And there were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake, and a great hailstorm.

19 وَانْفَتَحَ هَيْكَلُ اللهِ فِي السَّمَاءِ، وَظَهَرَ تَابُوتُ الْعَهْدِ فِي دَاخِلِهِ. وَحَدَثَتْ بُرُوقٌ وَأَصْوَاتٌ وَرُعُودٌ وَزَلْزَلَةٌ، وَسَقَطَ بَرَدٌ كَثِيرٌ.
