Revelation 17

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAINSMITH VAN DYKE
1 And one of the seven Angels, those who hold the seven bowls, approached and spoke with me, saying: “Come, I will show you the condemnation of the great harlot, who sits upon many waters.1 ثم جاء واحد من السبعة الملائكة الذين معهم السبعة الجامات وتكلم معي قائلا لي هلم فأريك دينونة الزانية العظيمة الجالسة على المياه الكثيرة
2 With her, the kings of the earth have fornicated. And those who inhabit the earth have been inebriated by the wine of her prostitution.”2 التي زنى معها ملوك الارض وسكر سكان الارض من خمر زناها.
3 And he carried me away in spirit to the desert. And I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet beast, filled with names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.3 فمضى بي بالروح الى برية فرأيت امرأة جالسة على وحش قرمزي مملوء اسماء تجديف له سبعة رؤوس وعشرة قرون.
4 And the woman was clothed all around with purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, holding a golden cup in her hand, filled with the abomination and with the filth of her fornication.4 والمرأة كانت متسربلة بارجوان وقرمز ومتحلية بذهب وحجارة كريمة ولؤلؤ ومعها كاس من ذهب في يدها مملوءة رجاسات ونجاسات زناها
5 And a name was written upon her forehead: Mystery, Babylon the great, the mother of the fornications and the abominations of the earth.5 وعلى جبهتها اسم مكتوب. سرّ. بابل العظيمة ام الزواني ورجاسات الارض.
6 And I saw that the woman was inebriated from the blood of the saints and from the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And I was amazed, when I had seen her, with a great wonder.6 ورأيت المرأة سكرى من دم القديسين ومن دم شهداء يسوع. فتعجبت لما رأيتها تعجبا عظيما
7 And the Angel said to me: “Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carries her, which has seven heads and ten horns.7 ثم قال لي الملاك لماذا تعجبت. انا اقول لك سرّ المرأة والوحش الحامل لها الذي له السبعة الرؤوس والعشرة القرون.
8 The beast that you saw, was, and is not, and is soon to ascend from the abyss. And he goes forth unto destruction. And the inhabitants upon the earth (those whose names have not been written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world) shall be amazed upon seeing the beast who was and is not.8 الوحش الذي رأيت كان وليس الآن وهو عتيد ان يصعد من الهاوية ويمضي الى الهلاك. وسيتعجب الساكنون على الارض الذين ليست اسماؤهم مكتوبة في سفر الحياة منذ تأسيس العالم حينما يرون الوحش انه كان وليس الآن مع انه كائن.
9 And this is for one who understands, who has wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains, upon which the woman sits, and they are seven kings.9 هنا الذهن الذي له حكمة. السبعة الرؤوس هي سبعة جبال عليها المرأة جالسة.
10 Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet arrived. And when he arrives, he must remain for a brief time.10 وسبعة ملوك خمسة سقطوا وواحد موجود والآخر لم يأت بعد ومتى أتى ينبغي ان يبقى قليلا.
11 And the beast who was, and is not, the same is also the eighth, and he is of the seven, and he goes forth unto destruction.11 والوحش الذي كان وليس الآن فهو ثامن وهو من السبعة ويمضي الى الهلاك.
12 And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings; these have not yet received a kingdom, but they shall receive authority, as if they were kings, for one hour, after the beast.12 والعشرة القرون التي رأيت هي عشرة ملوك لم يأخذوا ملكا بعد لكنهم يأخذون سلطانا كملوك ساعة واحدة مع الوحش.
13 These hold to one plan, and they shall hand over their power and authority to the beast.13 هؤلاء لهم رأي واحد ويعطون الوحش قدرتهم وسلطانهم.
14 These shall fight against the Lamb, and the Lamb shall conquer them. For he is the Lord of lords and the King of kings. And those who are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.”14 هؤلاء سيحاربون الخروف والخروف يغلبهم لانه رب الارباب وملك الملوك والذين معه مدعوون ومختارون ومؤمنون.
15 And he said to me: “The waters that you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples and nations and languages.15 ثم قال لي المياه التي رأيت حيث الزانية جالسة هي شعوب وجموع وامم وألسنة.
16 And the ten horns that you saw on the beast, these shall hate the woman who fornicates, and they shall make her desolate and naked, and they shall chew her flesh, and they shall burn her completely with fire.16 واما العشرة القرون التي رأيت على الوحش فهؤلاء سيبغضون الزانية وسيجعلونها خربة وعريانة ويأكلون لحمها ويحرقونها بالنار.
17 For God has granted to their hearts that they may do to her whatever is pleasing, so that they may give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God may be completed.17 لان الله وضع في قلوبهم ان يصنعوا رأيه وان يصنعوا رأيا واحدا ويعطوا الوحش ملكهم حتى تكمل اقوال الله.
18 And the woman that you saw is the great City, which holds a kingdom above that of the kings of the earth.”18 والمرأة التي رأيت هي المدينة العظيمة التي لها ملك على ملوك الارض
