1 وَلَمَّا فَتَحَ ٱلْخَتْمَ ٱلسَّابِعَ حَدَثَ سُكُوتٌ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ نَحْوَ نِصْفِ سَاعَةٍ.
1 When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
2 وَرَأَيْتُ ٱلسَّبْعَةَ ٱلْمَلَائِكَةَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَقِفُونَ أَمَامَ ٱللهِ، وَقَدْ أُعْطُوا سَبْعَةَ أَبْوَاقٍ.
2 I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.
3 وَجَاءَ مَلَاكٌ آخَرُ وَوَقَفَ عِنْدَ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ، وَمَعَهُ مِبْخَرَةٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَأُعْطِيَ بَخُورًا كَثِيرًا لِكَيْ يُقَدِّمَهُ مَعَ صَلَوَاتِ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ جَمِيعِهِمْ عَلَى مَذْبَحِ ٱلذَّهَبِ ٱلَّذِي أَمَامَ ٱلْعَرْشِ.
3 Another angel came and stood over the altar, having a golden censer. Much incense was given to him, that he should add it to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar which was before the throne.
4 فَصَعِدَ دُخَانُ ٱلْبَخُورِ مَعَ صَلَوَاتِ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْمَلَاكِ أَمَامَ ٱللهِ.
4 The smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel’s hand.
5 ثُمَّ أَخَذَ ٱلْمَلَاكُ ٱلْمِبْخَرَةَ وَمَلَأَهَا مِنْ نَارِ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ وَأَلْقَاهَا إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَحَدَثَتْ أَصْوَاتٌ وَرُعُودٌ وَبُرُوقٌ وَزَلْزَلَةٌ.
5 The angel took the censer, and he filled it with the fire of the altar, then threw it on the earth. Thunders, sounds, lightnings, and an earthquake followed.
6 ثُمَّ إِنَّ ٱلسَّبْعَةَ ٱلْمَلَائِكَةَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُمُ ٱلسَّبْعَةُ ٱلْأَبْوَاقُ تَهَيَّأُوا لِكَيْ يُبَوِّقُوا.
6 The seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
7 فَبَوَّقَ ٱلْمَلَاكُ ٱلْأَوَّلُ، فَحَدَثَ بَرَدٌ وَنَارٌ مَخْلُوطَانِ بِدَمٍ، وَأُلْقِيَا إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَٱحْتَرَقَ ثُلْثُ ٱلْأَشْجَارِ، وَٱحْتَرَقَ كُلُّ عُشْبٍ أَخْضَرَ.
7 The first sounded, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. One third of the earth was burned up, and one third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.
8 ثُمَّ بَوَّقَ ٱلْمَلَاكُ ٱلثَّانِي، فَكَأَنَّ جَبَلًا عَظِيمًا مُتَّقِدًا بِٱلنَّارِ أُلْقِيَ إِلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ، فَصَارَ ثُلْثُ ٱلْبَحْرِ دَمًا.
8 The second angel sounded, and something like a great burning mountain was thrown into the sea. One third of the sea became blood,
9 وَمَاتَ ثُلْثُ ٱلْخَلَائِقِ ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ ٱلَّتِي لَهَا حَيَاةٌ، وَأُهْلِكَ ثُلْثُ ٱلسُّفُنِ.
9 and one third of the living creatures which were in the sea died. One third of the ships were destroyed.
10 ثُمَّ بَوَّقَ ٱلْمَلَاكُ ٱلثَّالِثُ، فَسَقَطَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ كَوْكَبٌ عَظِيمٌ مُتَّقِدٌ كَمِصْبَاحٍ، وَوَقَعَ عَلَى ثُلْثِ ٱلْأَنْهَارِ وَعَلَى يَنَابِيعِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ.
10 The third angel sounded, and a great star fell from the sky, burning like a torch, and it fell on one third of the rivers, and on the springs of water.
11 وَٱسْمُ ٱلْكَوْكَبِ يُدْعَى «ٱلْأَفْسَنْتِينَ». فَصَارَ ثُلْثُ ٱلْمِيَاهِ أَفْسَنْتِينًا، وَمَاتَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مِنَ ٱلْمِيَاهِ لِأَنَّهَا صَارَتْ مُرَّةً.
11 The name of the star is “Wormwood.” One third of the waters became wormwood. Many people died from the waters, because they were made bitter.
12 ثُمَّ بَوَّقَ ٱلْمَلَاكُ ٱلرَّابِعُ، فَضُرِبَ ثُلْثُ ٱلشَّمْسِ وَثُلْثُ ٱلْقَمَرِ وَثُلْثُ ٱلنُّجُومِ، حَتَّى يُظْلِمَ ثُلْثُهُنَّ، وَٱلنَّهَارُ لَا يُضِيءُ ثُلْثُهُ، وَٱللَّيْلُ كَذَلِكَ.
12 The fourth angel sounded, and one third of the sun was struck, and one third of the moon, and one third of the stars, so that one third of them would be darkened; and the day wouldn’t shine for one third of it, and the night in the same way.
13 ثُمَّ نَظَرْتُ وَسَمِعْتُ مَلَاكًا طَائِرًا فِي وَسَطِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ قَائِلًا بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ: «وَيْلٌ! وَيْلٌ! وَيْلٌ لِلسَّاكِنِينَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنْ أَجْلِ بَقِيَّةِ أَصْوَاتِ أَبْوَاقِ ٱلثَّلَاثَةِ ٱلْمَلَائِكَةِ ٱلْمُزْمِعِينَ أَنْ يُبَوِّقُوا!».
13 I saw, and I heard an eagle, flying in mid heaven, saying with a loud voice, “Woe! Woe! Woe to those who dwell on the earth, because of the other blasts of the trumpets of the three angels, who are yet to sound!”
