Revelation 11

NEW AMERICAN BIBLESMITH VAN DYKE
1 Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff and I was told, "Come and measure the temple of God and the altar, and count those who are worshiping in it.1 ثم أعطيت قصبة شبه عصا ووقف الملاك قائلا لي قم وقس هيكل الله والمذبح والساجدين فيه.
2 But exclude the outer court of the temple; do not measure it, for it has been handed over to the Gentiles, who will trample the holy city for forty-two months.2 واما الدار التي هي خارج الهيكل فاطرحها خارجا ولا تقسها لانها قد أعطيت للامم وسيدوسون المدينة المقدسة اثنين واربعين شهرا.
3 I will commission my two witnesses to prophesy for those twelve hundred and sixty days, wearing sackcloth."3 وسأعطي لشاهدي فيتنبآن الفا ومئتين وستين يوما لابسين مسوحا.
4 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.4 هذان هما الزيتونتان والمنارتان القائمتان امام رب الارض.
5 If anyone wants to harm them, fire comes out of their mouths and devours their enemies. In this way, anyone wanting to harm them is sure to be slain.5 وان كان احد يريد ان يؤذيهما تخرج نار من فمهما وتأكل اعداءهما وان كان احد يريد ان يؤذيهما فهكذا لا بد ان يقتل.
6 They have the power to close up the sky so that no rain can fall during the time of their prophesying. They also have power to turn water into blood and to afflict the earth with any plague as often as they wish.6 هذان لهما السلطان ان يغلقا السماء حتى لا تمطر مطرا في ايام نبوّتهما ولهما سلطان على المياه ان يحوّلاها الى دم وان يضربا الارض بكل ضربة كلما ارادا.
7 When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the abyss will wage war against them and conquer them and kill them.7 ومتى تمما شهادتهما فالوحش الصاعد من الهاوية سيصنع معهما حربا ويغلبهما ويقتلهما.
8 Their corpses will lie in the main street of the great city, which has the symbolic names "Sodom" and "Egypt," where indeed their Lord was crucified.8 وتكون جثتاهما على شارع المدينة العظيمة التي تدعى روحيا سدوم ومصر حيث صلب ربنا ايضا.
9 Those from every people, tribe, tongue, and nation will gaze on their corpses for three and a half days, and they will not allow their corpses to be buried.9 وينظر اناس من الشعوب والقبائل والألسنة والامم جثتيهما ثلاثة ايام ونصفا ولا يدعون جثتيهما توضعان في قبور.
10 The inhabitants of the earth will gloat over them and be glad and exchange gifts because these two prophets tormented the inhabitants of the earth.10 ويشمت بهما الساكنون على الارض ويتهللون ويرسلون هدايا بعضهم لبعض لان هذين النبيين كانا قد عذبا الساكنين على الارض.
11 But after the three and a half days, a breath of life from God entered them. When they stood on their feet, great fear fell on those who saw them.11 ثم بعد الثلاثة الايام والنصف دخل فيهما روح حياة من الله فوقفا على ارجلهما ووقع خوف عظيم على الذين كانوا ينظرونهما.
12 Then they heard a loud voice from heaven say to them, "Come up here." So they went up to heaven in a cloud as their enemies looked on.12 وسمعوا صوتا عظيما من السماء قائلا لهما اصعدا الى ههنا فصعدا الى السماء في السحابة ونظرهما اعداؤهما.
13 At that moment there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell in ruins. Seven thousand people were killed during the earthquake; the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.13 وفي تلك الساعة حدثت زلزلة عظيمة فسقط عشر المدينة وقتل بالزلزلة اسماء من الناس سبعة آلاف وصار الباقون في رعبة واعطوا مجدا لاله السماء.
14 The second woe has passed, but the third is coming soon.14 الويل الثاني مضى وهوذا الويل الثالث يأتي سريعا
15 Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet. There were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdom of the world now belongs to our Lord and to his Anointed, and he will reign forever and ever."15 ثم بوق الملاك السابع فحدثت اصوات عظيمة في السماء قائلة قد صارت ممالك العالم لربنا ومسيحه فسيملك الى ابد الآبدين.
16 The twenty-four elders who sat on their thrones before God prostrated themselves and worshiped God16 والاربعة والعشرون شيخا الجالسون امام الله على عروشهم خروا على وجوههم وسجدوا للّه
17 and said: "We give thanks to you, Lord God almighty, who are and who were. For you have assumed your great power and have established your reign.17 قائلين نشكرك ايها الرب الاله القادر على كل شيء الكائن والذي كان والذي يأتي لانك اخذت قدرتك العظيمة وملكت.
18 The nations raged, but your wrath has come, and the time for the dead to be judged, and to recompense your servants, the prophets, and the holy ones and those who fear your name, the small and the great alike, and to destroy those who destroy the earth."18 وغضبت الامم فأتى غضبك وزمان الاموات ليدانوا ولتعطى الاجرة لعبيدك الانبياء والقديسين والخائفين اسمك الصغار والكبار وليهلك الذين كانوا يهلكون الارض.
19 Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant could be seen in the temple. There were flashes of lightning, rumblings, and peals of thunder, an earthquake, and a violent hailstorm.19 وانفتح هيكل الله في السماء وظهر تابوت عهده في هيكله وحدثت بروق واصوات ورعود وزلزلة وبرد عظيم
