¹ولما فتح الختم السابع حدث سكوت في السماء نحو نصف ساعة.

¹And when he openeth the seventh seal, there came silence in the heaven about half-an-hour,

²ورأيت السبعة الملائكة الذين يقفون امام الله وقد أعطوا سبعة ابواق

²and I saw the seven messengers who before God have stood, and there were given to them seven trumpets,

³وجاء ملاك آخر ووقف عند المذبح ومعه مبخرة من ذهب وأعطي بخورا كثيرا لكي يقدمه مع صلوات القديسين جميعهم على مذبح الذهب الذي امام العرش.

³and another messenger did come, and he stood at the altar, having a golden censer, and there was given to him much perfume, that he may give [it] to the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar that [is] before the throne,

⁴فصعد دخان البخور مع صلوات القديسين من يد الملاك امام الله.

⁴and go up did the smoke of the perfumes to the prayers of the saints out of the hand of the messenger, before God;

⁵ثم اخذ الملاك المبخرة وملأها من نار المذبح والقاها الى الارض فحدثت اصوات ورعود وبروق وزلزلة

⁵and the messenger took the censer, and did fill it out of the fire of the altar, and did cast [it] to the earth, and there came voices, and thunders, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

⁶ثم ان السبعة الملائكة الذين معهم السبعة الابواق تهيّأوا لكي يبوّقوا.

⁶And the seven messengers who are having the seven trumpets did prepare themselves that they may sound;

⁷فبوّق الملاك الاول فحدث برد ونار مخلوطان بدم وألقيا الى الارض فاحترق ثلث الاشجار واحترق كل عشب اخضر

⁷and the first messenger did sound, and there came hail and fire, mingled with blood, and it was cast to the land, and the third of the trees was burnt up, and all the green grass was burnt up.

⁸ثم بوق الملاك الثاني فكأن جبلا عظيما متقدا بالنار ألقي الى البحر فصار ثلث البحر دما.

⁸And the second messenger did sound, and as it were a great mountain with fire burning was cast into the sea, and the third of the sea became blood,

⁹ومات ثلث الخلائق التي في البحر التي لها حياة وأهلك ثلث السفن

⁹and die did the third of the creatures that [are] in the sea, those having life, and the third of the ships were destroyed.

¹⁰ثم بوق الملاك الثالث فسقط من السماء كوكب عظيم متقد كمصباح ووقع على ثلث الانهار وعلى ينابيع المياه.

¹⁰And the third messenger did sound, and there fell out of the heaven a great star, burning as a lamp, and it did fall upon the third of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters,

¹¹واسم الكوكب يدعى الافسنتين فصار ثلث المياه افسنتينا ومات كثيرون من الناس من المياه لانها صارت مرّة

¹¹and the name of the star is called Wormwood, and the third of the waters doth become wormwood, and many of the men did die of the waters, because they were made bitter.

¹²ثم بوّق الملاك الرابع فضرب ثلث الشمس وثلث القمر وثلث النجوم حتى يظلم ثلثهنّ والنهار لا يضيء ثلثه والليل كذلك.

¹²And the fourth messenger did sound, and smitten was the third of the sun, and the third of the moon, and the third of the stars, that darkened may be the third of them, and that the day may not shine — the third of it, and the night in like manner.

¹³ثم نظرت وسمعت ملاكا طائرا في وسط السماء قائلا بصوت عظيم ويل ويل ويل للساكنين على الارض من اجل بقية اصوات ابواق الثلاثة الملائكة المزمعين ان يبوّقوا

¹³And I saw, and I heard one messenger, flying in the mid-heaven, saying with a great voice, `Wo, wo, wo, to those dwelling upon the land from the rest of the voices of the trumpet of the three messengers who are about to sound.`
