Revelation 7

1 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back its four winds so that no wind would blow on land or sea or on any tree.

1 وَرَأَيْتُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَرْبَعَةَ مَلائِكَةٍ وَاقِفِينَ عَلَى زَوَايَا الأَرْضِ الأَرْبَعِ، يَحْبِسُونَ رِيَاحَ الأَرْضِ الأَرْبَعَ، فَلا تَهُبُّ رِيحٌ عَلَى بَرٍّ أَوْ بَحْرٍ أَوْ شَجَرٍ.

2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, with the seal of the living God. And he called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea:

2 ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُ مَلاكاً آخَرَ قَادِماً مِنَ الشَّرْقِ يَحْمِلُ خَتْمَ اللهِ الْحَيِّ، فَنَادَى بِصَوْتٍ عَالٍ الْمَلائِكَةَ الأَرْبَعَةَ الَّذِينَ عُهِدَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَنْ يُنْزِلُوا الضَّرَرَ بِالْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ:

3 “Do not harm the land or sea or trees until we have placed a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.”

3 «انْتَظِرُوا! لَا تَضُرُّوا الْبَرَّ وَلا الْبَحْرَ وَلا الشَّجَرَ، إِلَى أَنْ نَضَعَ خَتْمَ إِلَهِنَا عَلَى جِبَاهِ عَبِيدِهِ».

4 And I heard the number of those who were sealed, 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel:

4 وَسَمِعْتُ أَنَّ عَدَدَ الْمَخْتُومِينَ، مِئَةُ وَأَرْبَعَةٌ وَأَرْبَعُونَ أَلْفاً، مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ:

5 From the tribe of Judah 12,000 were sealed, from the tribe of Reuben 12,000, from the tribe of Gad 12,000,

5 مِنْ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا خُتِمَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفاً؛ وَمِنْ سِبْطِ رَأُوبَيْنَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفاً؛ وَمِنْ سِبْطِ جَادٍ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفاً؛

6 from the tribe of Asher 12,000, from the tribe of Naphtali 12,000, from the tribe of Manasseh 12,000,

6 وَمِنْ سِبْطِ أَشِيرَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفاً؛ وَمِنْ سِبْطِ نَفْتَالِي اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفاً؛ وَمِنْ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفاً

7 from the tribe of Simeon 12,000, from the tribe of Levi 12,000, from the tribe of Issachar 12,000,

7 وَمِنْ سِبْطِ شِمْعُونَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفاً؛ وَمِنْ سِبْطِ لاوِي اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفاً؛ وَمِنْ سِبْطِ يَسَّاكَرَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفاً؛

8 from the tribe of Zebulun 12,000, from the tribe of Joseph 12,000, and from the tribe of Benjamin 12,000.

8 وَمِنْ سِبْطِ زَبُولُونَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفاً؛ وَمِنْ سِبْطِ يُوسُفَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفاً؛ وَمِنْ سِبْطِ بِنْيَامِينَ خُتِمَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفاً.

9 After this I looked and saw a multitude too large to count, from every nation and tribe and people and tongue, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and holding palm branches in their hands.

9 ثُمَّ نَظَرْتُ، فَرَأَيْتُ جَمْعاً كَثِيراً لَا يُحْصَى، مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ وَقَبِيلَةٍ وَشَعْبٍ وَلُغَةٍ، وَاقِفِينَ أَمَامَ الْعَرْشِ وَأَمَامَ الْحَمَلِ، وَقَدِ ارْتَدَوْا ثِيَاباً بَيْضَاءَ، وَأَمْسَكُوا بِأَيْدِيهِمْ سَعَفَ النَّخْلِ،

10 And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”

10 وَهُمْ يَهْتِفُونَ بِصَوْتٍ عَالٍ: «الْخَلاصُ مِنْ عِنْدِ إِلَهِنَا الْجَالِسِ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ وَمِنْ عِنْدِ الْحَمَلِ!»

11 And all the angels stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. And they fell facedown before the throne and worshiped God,

11 وَاجْتَمَعَ الْمَلائِكَةُ جَمِيعاً حَوْلَ الْعَرْشِ، وَمَعَهُمُ الشُّيُوخُ وَالْكَائِنَاتُ الْحَيَّةُ الأَرْبَعَةُ، وَخَرُّوا عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ أَمَامَ الْعَرْشِ سُجُوداً لِلهِ،

12 saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”

12 قَائِلِينَ: «آمِين! لإِلَهِنَا الْبَرَكَةُ وَالْمَجْدُ وَالْحِكْمَةُ وَالشُّكْرُ وَالإِجْلالُ وَالْقُدْرَةُ وَالْقُوَّةُ إِلَى أَبَدِ الآبِدِينَ. آمِين!»

13 Then one of the elders addressed me: “These in white robes,” he asked, “who are they, and where have they come from?”

13 وَسَأَلَنِي أَحَدُ الشُّيُوخِ: «أَتَعْلَمُ مَنْ هُمْ هؤُلاءِ الَّذِينَ يَرْتَدُونَ الثِّيَابَ الْبَيْضَاءَ، وَهَلْ تَعْرِفُ مِنْ أَيْنَ أَتَوْا؟»

14 “Sir,” I answered, “you know.” So he replied, “These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

14 فَأَجَبْتُهُ: «أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ يَا سَيِّدِي!» فَقَالَ: «هؤُلاءِ هُمُ الَّذِينَ أَتَوْا مِنَ الضِّيقَةِ الْعَظِيمَةِ، وَقَدْ غَسَّلُوا ثِيَابَهُمْ وَبَيَّضُوهَا بِدَمِ الْحَمَلِ.

15 For this reason, they are before the throne of God and serve Him day and night in His temple; and the One seated on the throne will spread His tabernacle over them.

15 لِهَذَا هُمْ أَمَامَ عَرْشِ اللهِ يَخْدِمُونَهُ فِي هَيْكَلِهِ لَيْلاً وَنَهَاراً وَالْجَالِسُ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ يَبْسُطُ خَيْمَتَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ،

16 ‘Never again will they hunger, and never will they thirst; nor will the sun beat down upon them, nor any scorching heat.’

16 فَلَنْ يَجُوعُوا وَلَنْ يَعْطَشُوا، وَلَنْ تَضْرِبَهُمُ الشَّمْسُ وَلا أَيُّ حَرٍّ،

17 For the Lamb in the center of the throne will be their shepherd. ‘He will lead them to springs of living water,’ and ‘God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’”

17 لأَنَّ الْحَمَلَ الَّذِي فِي وَسَطِ الْعَرْشِ يَرْعَاهُمْ وَيَقُودُهُمْ إِلَى يَنَابِيعِ مَاءِ الْحَيَاةِ، وَيَمْسَحُ اللهُ كُلَّ دَمْعَةٍ مِنْ عُيُونِهِمْ».
