Offenbarung 22 | English Standard Version

The River of Life

1 Then the angel* showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life* with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him. 4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5 And night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.

Jesus Is Coming

6 And he said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true. And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place.” 7 “And behold, I am coming soon. Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.” 8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me, 9 but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.” 10 And he said to me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near. 11 Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy.” 12 “Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.” 14 Blessed are those who wash their robes,* so that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates. 15 Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. 16 “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.” 17 The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price. 18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book. 20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! 21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.* Amen.

الكتاب المقدس

نهر الحياة

1 ثُمَّ أَرَانِي الْمَلاكُ نَهْرَ مَاءِ الْحَيَاةِ صَافِياً كَالْبَلُّورِ، يَنْبُعُ مِنْ عَرْشِ اللهِ وَالْحَمَلِ 2 وَيَخْتَرِقُ سَاحَةَ الْمَدِينَةِ، وَعَلَى ضَفَّتَيْهِ شَجَرَةُ الْحَيَاةِ تُثْمِرُ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ مَرَّةً، كُلَّ شَهْرٍ مَرَّةً. وَأَوْرَاقُهَا دَوَاءٌ يَشْفِي الأُمَمَ. 3 لَنْ تَكُونَ فِيمَا بَعْدُ لَعْنَةٌ أَبَداً. لأَنَّ عَرْشَ اللهِ وَالْحَمَلِ قَائِمٌ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ، حَيْثُ يَخْدِمُهُ عَبِيدُهُ 4 وَيَرَوْنَ وَجْهَهُ، وَقَدْ كُتِبَ اسْمُهُ عَلَى جِبَاهِهِمْ. 5 وَلَنْ يَكُونَ هُنَالِكَ لَيْلٌ، فَلا يَحْتَاجُونَ إِلَى نُورِ مِصْبَاحٍ أَوْ شَمْسٍ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ الإِلهَ يُنِيرُ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَهُمْ سَيَمْلِكُونَ إِلَى أَبَدِ الآبِدِينَ!

يوحنا والملاك

6 وَقَالَ لِيَ الْمَلاكُ: «هَذَا الْكَلامُ صِدْقٌ وَحَقٌّ. إِنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلهَ أَرْوَاحِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ أَرْسَلَ مَلاكَهُ لِيُخْبِرَ عَبِيدَهُ بِمَا لَا بُدَّ أَنْ يَحْدُثَ سَرِيعاً. 7 إِنِّي آتٍ سَرِيعاً! طُوبَى لِمَنْ يُرَاعِي مَا وَرَدَ فِي كِتَابِ النُّبُوءَةِ هَذَا!» 8 أَنَا يُوحَنَّا رَأَيْتُ وَسَمِعْتُ هَذِهِ الأُمُورَ كُلَّهَا. وَبَعْدَمَا سَمِعْتُ وَرَأَيْتُ كُلَّ مَا حَدَثَ، ارْتَمَيْتُ عَلَى قَدَمَيِ الْمَلاكِ الَّذِي أَرَانِي إِيَّاهَا لأَسْجُدَ لَهُ. 9 فَقَالَ لِي: «لا تَفْعَلْ! إِنَّنِي عَبْدٌ مِثْلُكَ وَمِثْلُ إِخْوَتِكَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ، وَمِثْلُ الَّذِينَ يُرَاعُونَ مَا جَاءَ فِي هَذَا الْكِتَابِ. لِلهِ اسْجُدْ!» 10 ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: «لا تَخْتُمْ عَلَى مَا جَاءَ فِي كِتَابِ النُّبُوءَةِ هَذَا، لأَنَّ مَوْعِدَ إِتْمَامِهِ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ. 11 فَمَنْ كَانَ ظَالِماً، فَلْيُمْعِنْ فِي الظُّلْمِ؛ وَمَنْ كَانَ نَجِساً، فَلْيُمْعِنْ فِي النَّجَاسَةِ؛ وَمَنْ كَانَ صَالِحاً، فَلْيُمْعِنْ فِي الصَّلاحِ؛ وَمَنْ كَانَ مُقَدَّساً، فَلْيُمْعِنْ فِي الْقَدَاسَةِ!»

خاتمة: دعوة وتحذير

12 «إِنِّي آتٍ سَرِيعاً، وَمَعِي الْمُكَافَأَةُ لأُجَازِيَ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ بِحَسَبِ عَمَلِهِ. 13 أَنَا الأَلِفُ وَالْيَاءُ، الأَوَّلُ وَالآخِرُ، الْبِدَايَةُ وَالنِّهَايَةُ. 14 طُوبَى لِلَّذِينَ يَغْسِلُونَ ثِيَابَهُمْ، فَلَهُمُ السُّلْطَةُ عَلَى شَجَرَةِ الْحَيَاةِ، وَالْحَقُّ فِي دُخُولِ الْمَدِينَةِ مِنَ الأَبْوَابِ! 15 أَمَّا فِي خَارِجِ الْمَدِينَةِ، فَهُنَالِكَ الْكِلابُ وَالْمُتَّصِلُونَ بِالشَّيَاطِينِ، وَالزُّنَاةُ وَالْقَتَلَةُ، وَعَبَدَةُ الأَصْنَامِ وَالدَّجَّالُونَ وَمُحِبُّو التَّدْجِيلِ! 16 أَنَا يَسُوعُ أَرْسَلْتُ مَلاكِي لأَشْهَدَ لَكُمْ بِهَذِهِ الأُمُورِ فِي الْكَنَائِسِ. أَنَا أَصْلُ دَاوُدَ وَنَسْلُهُ. أَنَا كَوْكَبُ الصُّبْحِ الْمُنِيرُ». 17 الرُّوحُ وَالْعَرُوسُ يَقُولانِ: «تَعَالَ!» وَمَنْ يَسْمَعْ فَلْيُرَدِّدِ النِّدَاءَ: «تَعَالَ!» فَلْيَأْتِ الْعَطْشَانُ! وَكُلُّ مَنْ يُرِيدُ، فَلْيَشْرَبْ مِنْ مَاءِ الْحَيَاةِ مَجَّاناً! 18 وَإِنَّنِي أَشْهَدُ لِكُلِّ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ مَا جَاءَ فِي كِتَابِ النُّبُوءَةِ هَذَا: إِنْ زَادَ أَحَدٌ شَيْئاً عَلَى مَا كُتِبَ فِيهِ، يَزِيدُهُ اللهُ مِنَ الْبَلايَا الَّتِي وَرَدَ ذِكْرُهَا، 19 وَإِنْ أَسْقَطَ أَحَدٌ شَيْئاً مِنْ أَقْوَالِ كِتَابِ النُّبُوءَةِ هَذَا، يُسْقِطُ اللهُ نَصِيبَهُ مِنْ شَجَرَةِ الْحَيَاةِ، وَمِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ، اللَّتَيْنِ جَاءَ ذِكْرُهُمَا فِي هَذَا الْكِتَابِ. 20 وَالَّذِي يَشْهَدُ بِهذِهِ الأُمُورِ يَقُولُ: «نَعَمْ! أَنَا آتٍ سَرِيعاً». آمِين! تَعَالَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ يَسُوعُ! 21 وَلْتَكُنْ نِعْمَةُ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ مَعَكُمْ جَمِيعاً.
