I heard a loud voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels, “Go and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God on the earth!”

The first went, and poured out his bowl into the earth, and it became a harmful and painful sore on the people who had the mark of the beast, and who worshiped his image.

The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man. Every living thing in the sea died.

The third poured out his bowl into the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood.

I heard the angel of the waters saying, “You are righteous, who are and who were, O Holy One, because you have judged these things.

For they poured out the blood of saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink. They deserve this.”

I heard the altar saying, “Yes, Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are your judgments.”

The fourth poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was given to him to scorch men with fire.

People were scorched with great heat, and people blasphemed the name of God who has the power over these plagues. They didn’t repent and give him glory.

The fifth poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was darkened. They gnawed their tongues because of the pain,

and they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores. They still didn’t repent of their works.

The sixth poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates. Its water was dried up, that the way might be prepared for the kings that come from the sunrise.

I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, something like frogs;

for they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole inhabited earth, to gather them together for the war of that great day of God the Almighty.

“Behold, I come like a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his clothes, so that he doesn’t walk naked, and they see his shame.”

He gathered them together into the place which is called in Hebrew, “Harmagedon”.

The seventh poured out his bowl into the air. A loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done!”

There were lightnings, sounds, and thunders; and there was a great earthquake such as has not happened since there were men on the earth—so great an earthquake and so mighty.

The great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. Babylon the great was remembered in the sight of God, to give to her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

Every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

Great hailstones, about the weight of a talent, came down out of the sky on people. People blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, for this plague was exceedingly severe.

وسَمِعتُ صَوتًا جَهيرًا مِنَ الهَيكَلِ يَقولُ لِلمَلائِكَةِ السَّبعَة: «إِذهَبوا فصُبُّوا أَكْوابَ سُخطِ اللهِ السَّبعَةَ على الأَرض»

فذَهَبَ الأَوَّلُ فصَبَّ كوبَه على الأَرض، فأَصابَ قَرحٌ فاسِدٌ خَبيثٌ جَميعَ الَّذينَ علَيهم سِمَةُ الوَحشِ والَّذينَ يَسجُدونَ لِصورَتِه

وصَبَّ الثَّاني كوبَه في البَحر، فصارَ دَمًا كَدَمِ مَيت، فماتَت كُلُّ نَفْسٍ حَيَّةٍ هي في البَحْر

وصَبَّ الثَّالِثُ كوبَه في الأَنهُرِ ويَنابيعِ المِياه، فصارَت دَمًا

وسَمِعتُ مَلاكَ المِياهِ يَقول: «عادِلٌ أَنتَ، أَيُّها الَّذي هو كائِنٌ وكان، القُدُّوس، إِذ حَكَمتَ هٰذه الأَحْكام

دَمَ القِدِّيسينَ والأَنبِياءِ سَفَكوا، فدَمًا سَقَيتَهم. إِنَّهم يَستَوجِبونَ ذٰلك»

وسَمِعتُ المَذبَحَ يَقول: «أَجَل، أَيُّها الرَّبُّ الإِلٰهُ القَدير، حَقٌّ وعَدلٌ أَحْكامُكَ»

وصَبَّ الرَّابِعُ كوبَه على الشَّمْس، فأُولِيَت أَن تُحرِقَ النَّاسَ بِالنَّار

فأُحرِقَ النَّاسُ بِحَرٍّ شَديد، فجَدَّفوا على ٱسمِ اللهِ الَّذي لَه السُّلطانُ على النَّكَباتِ هٰذه، ولم يَتوبوا فيُمَجِّدوه

وصَبَّ الخامِسُ كوبَه على عَرشِ الوَحْش، فأَظلَمَت مَملَكَتُه وأَخَذَ النَّاسُ يَعَضُّونَ أَلسِنَتَهم مِنَ الأَلَم

وجَدَّفوا على إِلٰهِ السَّماءِ لِما أَصابَهم مِنَ الآلامِ والقُروح، ولَم يَتوبوا مِن فِعالهم

وصَبَّ السَّادِسُ كوبَه في النَّهرِ الكَبير، نَهرِ الفُرات، فجَفَّ ماؤُه لِيُعَدَّ الطَّريقُ لِمُلوكِ المَشرِق

ورَأَيتُ ثَلاثَةَ أَرْواحٍ خَبيثَةٍ مِثلِ الضَّفادِعِ خارِجَةً مِن فَمِ التِّنِّينِ ومِن فَمِ الوَحْشِ ومِن فَمِ النَّبِيِّ الكَذَّاب

فهي أَرْواحٌ شَيطانِيَّةٌ تَأتي بِالخَوارِق وتَذهَبُ إِلى مُلوكِ المَعْمورِ كُلِّه تَجمَعُهم لِلحَرْب، في ذٰلك اليَومِ العَظيم، يَومِ اللهِ القَدير

(هاءَنَذا آتٍ كالسَّارِق، فطوبى لِلَّذي يَسهَرُ ويَحفَظُ ثِيابَه لِئَلَّا يَسيرَ عُرْيانًا فتُرى عَورَتُه)

فجَمَعَتهم في المَكانِ الَّذي يُقالُ لَه بِالعِبرِيَّةِ هَرمَجِدُّون

وصَبَّ السَّابِعُ كوبَه في الجَوّ، فخَرَجَ مِنَ الهَيكَلِ صَوتٌ جَهيرٌ أَتى مِن عِندِ العَرشِ وكانَ يَقول: «قُضِيَ الأَمر!»

وحَدَثَت بُروقٌ وأَصْواتٌ ورُعود، وحَدَثَ زِلْزالٌ شَديدٌ لم يَحدُثْ مِثلُه بِهٰذه الشِّدَّةِ مُنذُ ما وُجِدَ الإِنسانُ على الأَرض

وصارَتِ المَدينَةُ العَظيمَةُ ثَلاثَةَ أَقْسامٍ وٱنْهارَت مُدُنُ الأُمَم. وذَكَرَ اللهُ بابِلَ العَظيمَةَ لِيُناوِلَها كأسَ خَمرَةِ سَورَةِ غَضَبِه

وهَرَبَت كُلُّ جَزيرَةٍ وتَوارَتِ الجِبال

وتَساقَطَ مِنَ السَّماءِ على النَّاسِ بَرَدٌ كَبيرٌ بِمِثْقالِ وَزنَة، فجَدَّفَ النَّاسُ على اللهِ لِنَكبَةِ البَرَد، لِأَنَّ نَكبَتَه كانَت شَديدةً جِدًّا
