V 001 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in
heaven about the space of half an hour.
V 002 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them
were given seven trumpets.
V 003 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden
censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer
it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before
the throne.
V 004 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the
saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.
V 005 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the
altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and
thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
V 006 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared
themselves to sound.
V 007 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled
with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of
trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
V 008 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain
burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea
became blood;
V 009 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had
life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
V 010 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from
heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of
the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
V 011 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of
the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because
they were made bitter.
V 012 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was
smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the
stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not
for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
V 013 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of
heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of
the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three
angels, which are yet to sound! |

الختم السابع
1-
ولمّا فضَ الحَمَلُ الخَتمَ السّابِعَ، سادَ السَّماءَ
سُكوتٌ نَحوَ نِصفِ ساعةٍ.
2-
ورَأيتُ المَلائِكَةَ السَّبعةَ
الواقِفينَ أمامَ الله، وأُعطِيَ كُلُّ واحِدٍ مِنهُم
بُوقًا.
3-
وجاءَ مَلاكٌ آخَرُ يَحمِلُ مِبْخرَةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ ووَقَفَ
عِندَ المَذبَحِ، فأُعطيَ بَخورًا كثيرًا ليُقَدِّمَهُ معَ
صَلَواتِ القِدِّيسينَ على مَذبَحِ الذَّهَبِ أمامَ العَرشِ.
4-
فتَصاعَدَ مِنْ يَدِ المَلاكِ دُخانُ البَخورِ معَ صَلَواتِ
القِدِّيسينَ أمامَ الله.
5-
ثُمَ أمسَكَ المَلاكُ المِبخَرَةَ
ومَلأَها مِنْ نارِ المَذبَحِ ورَماها إلى الأرضِ، فحَدَثَتْ
أصواتٌ ورُعودٌ وبُروقِ وزَلزَلَةِ.
الأبواق
6-
واَستَعَدَ الملائِكَةُ السَّبعةُ الذينَ يَحمِلونَ الأبواقَ
السَّبعةَ لأن يَنفُخوا فيها.
7-
فنَفَخَ الملاكُ
الأوَّلُ في بُوقِهِ، فوَقَعَ على الأرضِ بَرَدٌ ونارٌ
مُمتَزِجانِ بالدَّمِ، واَحترَقَ ثُلثُ الأرضِ وثُلثُ
الشَّجرِ وكُلُّ
عُشبٍ أخضَرَ.
8-
ونفَخَ الملاكُ الثاني في بُوقِهِ، فوَقَعَ في
البحرِ شيءٌ كأنَّهُ جبَلٌ كبيرٌ مُشتَعِلٌ، فَصارَ
ثُلثُ البحرِ دَمًا،
9-
وماتَ ثُلثُ الخَلائِقِ التي
تَعيشُ في البحرِ، وتَحَطَّمَ ثُلثُ السُّفُنِ.
10-
ونفَخَ الملاكُ الثالِثُ في بُوقِهِ، فهَوَتْ مِنَ
السَّماءِ نَجمَةِ كبيرَةِ كأنَّها شُعلَةِ مِنْ
نارٍ ووَقَعَتْ على ثُلثِ الأنهارِ وعلى اليَنابيعِ.
11-
وتُدعى النَّجمَةُ عَلقَمًا. فَصارَتِ المِياهُ
كالعَلقَمِ، وماتَ كثيرٌ مِنَ الذينَ شَرِبوا مِنها
لِمَرارتِها.
12-
ونَفَخَ الملاكُ الرّابِعُ في بُوقِهِ، فأُصيبَ
ثُلثُ الشَّمسِ وثُلثُ القَمَرِ وثُلثُ النُّجومِ،
حتى أظلَمَ الثُّلثُ وفَقَدَ النَّهارُ واللَّيلُ
ثُلثَ ضِيائِهِما.
13-
ونَظَرْتُ فسَمِعتُ نَسرًا طائِرًا في وسَطِ
السَّماءِ يَقولُ بأعلى صوتِهِ: «الوَيلُ، الوَيلُ،
الوَيلُ، لِسُكانِ الأرضِ عِندَ دَويِّ أصواتِ
الأبواقِ الباقِيَةِ التي سَيَنفُخُ فيها
الملائِكَةُ الثَّلاثةُ«. |
