Apocalisse (رؤيا) 13

SMITH VAN DYKE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 ثم وقفت على رمل البحر. فرأيت وحشا طالعا من البحر له سبعة رؤوس وعشرة قرون وعلى قرونه عشرة تيجان وعلى رؤوسه اسم تجديف.	1 Then I saw a beast emerge from the sea: it had seven heads and ten horns, with a coronet on each ofits ten horns, and its heads were marked with blasphemous titles.
2 والوحش الذي رأيته كان شبه نمر وقوائمه كقوائم دب وفمه كفم اسد واعطاه التنين قدرته وعرشه وسلطانا عظيما.	2 I saw that the beast was like a leopard, with paws like a bear and a mouth like a lion; the dragon hadhanded over to it his own power and his throne and his immense authority.
3 ورأيت واحدا من رؤوسه كانه مذبوح للموت وجرحه المميت قد شفي وتعجبت كل الارض وراء الوحش	3 I saw that one of its heads seemed to have had a fatal wound but that this deadly injury had healedand the whole world had marvel ed and fol owed the beast.
4 وسجدوا للتنين الذي اعطى السلطان للوحش وسجدوا للوحش قائلين من هو مثل الوحش. من يستطيع ان يحاربه.	4 They prostrated themselves in front of the dragon because he had given the beast his authority; andthey prostrated themselves in front of the beast, saying, 'Who can compare with the beast? Who can fightagainst it?'
5 وأعطي فما يتكلم بعظائم وتجاديف وأعطي سلطانا ان يفعل اثنين واربعين شهرا.	5 The beast was allowed to mouth its boasts and blasphemies and to be active for forty-two months;
6 ففتح فمه بالتجديف على الله ليجدف على اسمه وعلى مسكنه وعلى الساكنين في السماء.	6 and it mouthed its blasphemies against God, against his name, his heavenly Tent and al those whoare sheltered there.
7 وأعطي ان يصنع حربا مع القديسين ويغلبهم وأعطي سلطانا على كل قبيلة ولسان وامّة.	7 It was allowed to make war against the saints and conquer them, and given power over every race,people, language and nation;
8 فسيسجد له جميع الساكنين على الارض الذين ليست اسماؤهم مكتوبة منذ تأسيس العالم في سفر حياة الخروف الذي ذبح.	8 and al people of the world wil worship it, that is, everybody whose name has not been written downsince the foundation of the world in the sacrificial Lamb's book of life.
9 من له اذن فليسمع.	9 Let anyone who can hear, listen:
10 ان كان احد يجمع سبيا فالى السبي يذهب. وان كان احد يقتل بالسيف فينبغي ان يقتل بالسيف. هنا صبر القديسين وايمانهم	10 Those for captivity to captivity; those for death by the sword to death by the sword. This is why thesaints must have perseverance and faith.
11 ثم رأيت وحشا آخر طالعا من الارض وكان له قرنان شبه خروف وكان يتكلم كتنين.	11 Then I saw a second beast, emerging from the ground; it had two horns like a lamb, but made anoise like a dragon.
12 ويعمل بكل سلطان الوحش الاول امامه ويجعل الارض والساكنين فيها يسجدون للوحش الاول الذي شفي جرحه المميت.	12 This second beast exercised al the power of the first beast, on its behalf making the world and al itspeople worship the first beast, whose deadly injury had healed.
13 ويصنع آيات عظيمة حتى انه يجعل نارا تنزل من السماء على الارض قدام الناس.	13 And it worked great miracles, even to calling down fire from heaven onto the earth while peoplewatched.
14 ويضل الساكنين على الارض بالآيات التي أعطي ان يصنعها امام الوحش قائلا للساكنين على الارض ان يصنعوا صورة للوحش الذي كان به جرح السيف وعاش.	14 Through the miracles which it was al owed to do on behalf of the first beast, it was able to lead astraythe people of the world and persuade them to put up a statue in honour of the beast that had been wounded bythe sword and stil lived.
15 وأعطي ان يعطي روحا لصورة الوحش حتى تتكلم صورة الوحش ويجعل جميع الذين لا يسجدون لصورة الوحش يقتلون.	15 It was al owed to breathe life into this statue, so that the statue of the beast was able to speak, and tohave anyone who refused to worship the statue of the beast put to death.
16 ويجعل الجميع الصغار والكبار والاغنياء والفقراء والاحرار والعبيد تصنع لهم سمة على يدهم اليمنى او على جبهتهم	16 It compel ed everyone -- smal and great alike, rich and poor, slave and citizen -- to be branded onthe right hand or on the forehead,
17 وان لا يقدر احد ان يشتري او يبيع الا من له السمة او اسم الوحش او عدد اسمه.	17 and made it il egal for anyone to buy or sell anything unless he had been branded with the name ofthe beast or with the number of its name.
18 هنا الحكمة. من له فهم فليحسب عدد الوحش فانه عدد انسان. وعدده ست مئة وستة وستون	18 There is need for shrewdness here: anyone clever may interpret the number of the beast: it is thenumber of a human being, the number 666.
