القراءة بلغتين

ورَأَيتُ مَلاكًا هابِطًا مِنَ السَّماء، بِيَدِه مِفْتاحُ الهاوِيَةِ وسِلسِلَةٌ كَبيرة

فأَمسَكَ التِّنِّينَ الحَيَّةَ القَديمة، وهي إِبْليسُ والشَّيطان، فأَوثَقَه لِأَلفِ سَنَة

وأَلْقاه في الهاوِيَة، ثُمَّ أَقفَلَ علَيه وخَتَم، لِئَلَّا يُضِلَّ الأُمَم، حتَّى تَنقَضِيَ أَلفُ السَّنَة، ولا بُدَّ لَه بَعدَ ذٰلك مِن أَن يُطلَقَ قَليلًا مِنَ الوَقْت

ورَأَيتُ عُروشًا فجَلَسَ أُناسٌ علَيها وعُهِدَ إِلَيهم في القَضاء. ورَأَيتُ نُفوسَ الَّذينَ ضُرِبَت أَعْناقُهم مِن أَجلِ شَهادَةِ يَسوعَ وكَلِمَةِ الله، والَّذينَ لم يَسجُدوا لِلوَحْشِ ولا لِصورَتِه ولم يَتَلَقَّوا السِّمَةَ على جِباهِهم ولا على أَيديهم قد عادوا إِلى الحَياة، ومَلَكوا مع المَسيحِ أَلفَ سَنَة

أَمَّا سائِرُ الأَموات فلَم يَعودوا إِلى الحَياةِ قَبلَ ٱنقِضاءِ أَلفِ السَّنَة. هٰذه هي القِيامَةُ الأُولى

سَعيدٌ قِدِّيسٌ مَن كانَ لَه نَصيبٌ في القِيامَةِ الأُولى، فعَلى هٰؤُلاءِ لَيسَ لِلمَوتِ الثَّاني مِن سُلْطان، بل يَكونونَ كَهَنَةَ اللهِ والمَسيح، ويَملِكونَ معَه أَلفَ السَّنَة

فإِذا ٱنقَضَت أَلفُ السَّنَة، يُطلَقُ الشَّيطانُ مِن سِجنِه

فيَسْعى في إِضْلالِ الأُمَمِ الَّتي في زَوايا الأَرضِ الأَربَع، أَي ياجوجَ وماجوجَ، فيَجمَعُهم لِلحَرْب، وعَدَدُهم عَدَدُ رَملِ البَحْر

فصَعِدوا رَحبَةَ البَلَد وأَحاطوا بِمُعَسكَرِ القِدِّيسينَ وبِالمَدينَةِ المَحْبوبَة، فنَزَلَت نارٌ مِنَ السَّماءِ فٱلتَهَمَتهم

وإِبْليسُ الَّذي يُضِلُّهم أُلقِيَ في مُستَنقَعِ النَّارِ والكِبْريت، حَيثُ الوَحشُ والنَّبِيُّ الكَذَّاب، وسيُعانونَ العَذابَ نَهارًا ولَيلًا أَبَدَ الدُّهور

ورَأَيتُ عَرشًا عَظيمًا أَبيَضَ والجالِسَ علَيه. فمِن وَجهِه هَرَبَتِ الأَرضُ والسَّماءُ ولم يَبقَ لَهما أَثَر

ورَأَيتُ الأَمواتَ كِبارًا وصِغارًا قائِمينَ أَمامَ العَرْش. وفُتِحَت كُتُبٌ، وفُتِحَ كِتابٌ آخَرُ هو سِفرُ الحَياة، فحوكِمَ الأَمواتُ وَفقًا لِما دُوِّنَ في الكُتُب، على قَدرِ أَعْمالِهم

وقَذَفَ البَحرُ الأَمواتَ الَّذين فيه، وقَذَفَ المَوتُ ومَثْوى الأَمْواتِ ما فيهما مِنَ الأَموات. فحوكِمَ كُلُّ واحِدٍ على قَدرِ أَعْمالِه

وأُلقِيَ المَوتُ ومَثْوى الأَمواتِ في مُستَنقَعِ النَّار. هٰذا هو المَوتُ الثَّاني: مُستَنقَعُ النَّار

ومَن لم يوجَدْ مَكْتوبًا في سِفرِ الحَياة أُلقِيَ في مُستَنقَعِ النَّار

I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.

He seized the dragon, the old serpent, who is the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole inhabited earth, and bound him for a thousand years,

and cast him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more until the thousand years were finished. After this, he must be freed for a short time.

I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and such as didn’t worship the beast nor his image, and didn’t receive the mark on their forehead and on their hand. They lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

The rest of the dead didn’t live until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over these, the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with him one thousand years.

And after the thousand years, Satan will be released from his prison

and he will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war, whose number is as the sand of the sea.

They went up over the width of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. Fire came down out of heaven from God and devoured them.

The devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet are also. They will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

I saw a great white throne and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the sky fled away. There was found no place for them.

I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.

The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works.

Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

If anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.
