Revelation 18

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAINSMITH VAN DYKE
1 And after these things, I saw another Angel, descending from heaven, having great authority. And the earth was illuminated by his glory.1 ثم بعد هذا رأيت ملاكا آخر نازلا من السماء له سلطان عظيم واستنارت الارض من بهائه.
2 And he cried out with strength, saying: “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great. And she has become the habitation of demons, and the keepsake of every unclean spirit, and the possession of every unclean and hateful flying thing.2 وصرخ بشدة بصوت عظيم قائلا سقطت سقطت بابل العظيمة وصارت مسكنا لشياطين ومحرسا لكل روح نجس ومحرسا لكل طائر نجس وممقوت
3 For all the nations have imbibed the wine of the wrath of her fornication. And the kings of the earth have fornicated with her. And the merchants of the earth have become wealthy by the power of her pleasures.”3 لانه من خمر غضب زناها قد شرب جميع الامم وملوك الارض زنوا معها وتجار الارض استغنوا من وفرة نعيمها
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying: “Go away from her, my people, so that you may not be participants in her pleasures, and so that you may not be recipients of her afflictions.4 ثم سمعت صوتا آخر من السماء قائلا اخرجوا منها يا شعبي لئلا تشتركوا في خطاياها ولئلا تأخذوا من ضرباتها
5 For her sins have pierced through even to heaven, and the Lord has remembered her iniquities.5 لان خطاياها لحقت السماء وتذكر الله آثامها.
6 Render to her, as she has also rendered to you. And repay her doubly, according to her works. Mix for her a double portion, in the cup with which she mixed.6 جازوها كما هي ايضا جازتكم وضاعفوا لها ضعفا نظير اعمالها. في الكاس التي مزجت فيها امزجوا لها ضعفا.
7 As much as she has glorified herself and lived in pleasure, so much so give to her torment and grief. For in her heart, she has said: ‘I am enthroned as queen,’ and, ‘I am not a widow,’ and, ‘I shall not see sorrow.’7 بقدر ما مجدت نفسها وتنعمت بقدر ذلك اعطوها عذابا وحزنا لانها تقول في قلبها انا جالسة ملكة ولست ارملة ولن ارى حزنا.
8 For this reason, her afflictions shall arrive in one day: death and grief and famine. And she shall be burned with fire. For God, who will judge her, is strong.8 من اجل ذلك في يوم واحد ستأتي ضرباتها موت وحزن وجوع وتحترق بالنار لان الرب الاله الذي يدينها قوي
9 And the kings of the earth, who have fornicated with her and lived in luxury, shall weep and mourn for themselves over her, when they see the smoke of her conflagration,9 وسيبكي وينوح عليها ملوك الارض الذين زنوا وتنعموا معها حينما ينظرون دخان حريقها
10 standing far away, out of fear of her torments, saying: ‘Woe! Woe! to Babylon, that great city, that strong city. For in one hour, your judgment has arrived.’10 واقفين من بعيد لاجل خوف عذابها قائلين ويل ويل. المدينة العظيمة بابل المدينة القوية. لانه في ساعة واحدة جاءت دينونتك.
11 And the businessmen of the earth shall weep and mourn over her, because no one will buy their merchandise anymore:11 ويبكي تجار الارض وينوحون عليها لان بضائعهم لا يشتريها احد فيما بعد
12 merchandise of gold and silver and precious stones and pearls, and of fine linen and purple and silk and scarlet, and of every citrus tree wood, and of every tool of ivory, and of every tool from precious stone and brass and iron and marble,12 بضائع من الذهب والفضة والحجر الكريم واللؤلؤ والبز والارجوان والحرير والقرمز وكل عود ثيني وكل اناء من العاج وكل اناء من اثمن الخشب والنحاس والحديد والمرمر
13 and of cinnamon and black cardamom, and of fragrances and ointments and incense, and of wine and oil and fine flour and wheat, and of beasts of burden and sheep and horses and four-wheeled wagons, and of slaves and the souls of men.13 وقرفة وبخورا وطيبا ولبانا وخمرا وزيتا وسميذا وحنطة وبهائم وغنما وخيلا ومركبات واجساد ونفوس الناس.
14 And the fruits of the desires of your soul have gone away from you. And all things fat and splendid have perished from you. And they shall never find these things again.14 وذهب عنك جنى شهوة نفسك وذهب عنك كل ما هو مشحم وبهي ولن تجديه في ما بعد.
15 The merchants of these things, who were made wealthy, shall stand far away from her, out of fear of her torments, weeping and mourning,15 تجار هذه الاشياء الذين استغنوا منها سيقفون من بعيد من اجل خوف عذابها يبكون وينوحون
16 and saying: ‘Woe! Woe! to that great city, which was clothed with fine linen and purple and scarlet, and which was adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls.’16 ويقولون ويل ويل. المدينة العظيمة المتسربلة ببز وارجوان وقرمز والمتحلية بذهب وحجر كريم ولؤلؤ
17 For such great wealth was brought to destitution in one hour. And every shipmaster, and all who navigate on lakes, and mariners, and those who work at sea, stood far away.17 لانه في ساعة واحدة خرب غنى مثل هذا. وكل ربان وكل الجماعة في السفن والملاحون وجميع عمال البحر وقفوا من بعيد
18 And they cried out, seeing the place of her conflagration, saying: ‘What city resembles this great city?’18 وصرخوا اذ نظروا دخان حريقها قائلين اية مدينة مثل المدينة العظيمة.
19 And they cast dust upon their heads. And they cried out, weeping and mourning, saying: ‘Woe! Woe! to that great city, by which all who had ships at sea were made rich from her treasures. For she has been made desolate in one hour.19 وألقوا ترابا على رؤوسهم وصرخوا باكين ونائحين قائلين. ويل ويل. المدينة العظيمة التي فيها استغنى جميع الذين لهم سفن في البحر من نفائسها لانها في ساعة واحدة خربت.
20 Exult over her, O heaven, O holy Apostles and Prophets. For God has judged your judgment upon her.’ ”20 افرحي لها ايتها السماء والرسل القديسون والانبياء لان الرب قد دانها دينونتكم
21 And a certain strong Angel took up a stone, similar to a great millstone, and he cast it into the sea, saying: “With this force shall Babylon, that great city, be cast down. And she shall never be found again.21 ورفع ملاك واحد قوي حجرا كرحى عظيمة ورماه في البحر قائلا هكذا بدفع سترمى بابل المدينة العظيمة ولن توجد فيما بعد.
22 And the sound of singers, and musicians, and flute and trumpet players shall not be heard in you again. And every artisan of every art shall not be found in you again. And the sound of the mill shall not be heard in you again.22 وصوت الضاربين بالقيثارة والمغنين والمزمرين والنافخين بالبوق لن يسمع فيك فيما بعد. وكل صانع صناعة لن يوجد فيك فيما بعد. وصوت رحى لن يسمع فيك فيما بعد.
23 And the light of the lamp shall not shine in you again. And the voice of the groom and of the bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the leaders of the earth. For all the nations were led astray by your drugs.23 ونور سراج لن يضيء فيك فيما بعد. وصوت عريس وعروس لن يسمع فيك فيما بعد. لان تجارك كانوا عظماء الارض. اذ بسحرك ضلت جميع الامم.
24 And in her was found the blood of the Prophets and of the Saints, and of all who were slain upon the earth.”24 وفيها وجد دم انبياء وقديسين وجميع من قتل على الارض
