Revelation 1

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to show his servants what must happen soon. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John,	1 اعلان يسوع المسيح الذي اعطاه اياه الله ليري عبيده ما لا بد ان يكون عن قريب وبيّنه مرسلا بيد ملاكه لعبده يوحنا
2 who gives witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ by reporting what he saw.	2 الذي شهد بكلمة الله وبشهادة يسوع المسيح بكل ما رآه.
3 Blessed is the one who reads aloud and blessed are those who listen to this prophetic message and heed what is written in it, for the appointed time is near.	3 طوبى للذي يقرأ وللذين يسمعون اقوال النبوة ويحفظون ما هو مكتوب فيها لان الوقت قريب
4 John, to the seven churches in Asia: grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits before his throne,	4 يوحنا الى السبع الكنائس التي في اسيا نعمة لكم وسلام من الكائن والذي كان والذي يأتي ومن السبعة الارواح التي امام عرشه
5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead and ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood,	5 ومن يسوع المسيح الشاهد الامين البكر من الاموات ورئيس ملوك الارض. الذي احبنا وقد غسلنا من خطايانا بدمه
6 who has made us into a kingdom, priests for his God and Father, to him be glory and power forever (and ever). Amen.	6 وجعلنا ملوكا وكهنة للّه ابيه له المجد والسلطان الى ابد الآبدين. آمين
7 Behold, he is coming amid the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him. All the peoples of the earth will lament him. Yes. Amen.	7 هوذا يأتي مع السحاب وستنظره كل عين والذين طعنوه وينوح عليه جميع قبائل الارض. نعم آمين.
8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "the one who is and who was and who is to come, the almighty."	8 انا هو الالف والياء البداية والنهاية يقول الرب الكائن والذي كان والذي يأتي القادر على كل شيء
9 I, John, your brother, who share with you the distress, the kingdom, and the endurance we have in Jesus, found myself on the island called Patmos because I proclaimed God's word and gave testimony to Jesus.	9 انا يوحنا اخوكم وشريككم في الضيقة وفي ملكوت يسوع المسيح وصبره كنت في الجزيرة التي تدعى بطمس من اجل كلمة الله ومن اجل شهادة يسوع المسيح.
10 I was caught up in spirit on the Lord's day and heard behind me a voice as loud as a trumpet,	10 كنت في الروح في يوم الرب وسمعت ورائي صوتا عظيما كصوت بوق
11 which said, "Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea."	11 قائلا انا هو الالف والياء. الاول والآخر. والذي تراه اكتب في كتاب وارسل الى السبع الكنائس التي في اسيا الى افسس والى سميرنا والى برغامس والى ثياتيرا والى ساردس والى فيلادلفيا والى لاودكية
12 Then I turned to see whose voice it was that spoke to me, and when I turned, I saw seven gold lampstands	12 فالتفت لانظر الصوت الذي تكلم معي ولما التفت رأيت سبع مناير من ذهب
13 and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, wearing an ankle-length robe, with a gold sash around his chest.	13 وفي وسط السبع المناير شبه ابن انسان متسربلا بثوب الى الرجلين ومتمنطقا عند ثدييه بمنطقة من ذهب.
14 The hair of his head was as white as white wool or as snow, and his eyes were like a fiery flame.	14 واما راسه وشعره فابيضان كالصوف الابيض كالثلج وعيناه كلهيب نار
15 His feet were like polished brass refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing water.	15 ورجلاه شبه النحاس النقي كانهما محميّتان في أتون وصوته كصوت مياه كثيرة
16 In his right hand he held seven stars. A sharp two-edged sword came out of his mouth, and his face shone like the sun at its brightest.	16 ومعه في يده اليمنى سبعة كواكب. وسيف ماض ذو حدين يخرج من فمه ووجهه كالشمس وهي تضيء في قوتها.
17 When I caught sight of him, I fell down at his feet as though dead. He touched me with his right hand and said, "Do not be afraid. I am the first and the last,	17 فلما رأيته سقطت عند رجليه كميت فوضع يده اليمنى عليّ قائلا لي لا تخف انا هو الاول والآخر
18 the one who lives. Once I was dead, but now I am alive forever and ever. I hold the keys to death and the netherworld.	18 والحي وكنت ميتا وها انا حيّ الى ابد الآبدين آمين ولي مفاتيح الهاوية والموت.
19 Write down, therefore, what you have seen, and what is happening, and what will happen afterwards.	19 فاكتب ما رأيت وما هو كائن وما هو عتيد ان يكون بعد هذا.
20 This is the secret meaning of the seven stars you saw in my right hand, and of the seven gold lampstands: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.	20 سرّ السبعة الكواكب التي رأيت على يميني والسبع المناير الذهبية. السبعة الكواكب هي ملائكة السبع الكنائس والمناير السبع التي رأيتها هي السبع الكنائس
