Revelation 22 – NIV & NAV

New International Version

Revelation 22:1-21

Eden Restored

1Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. 3No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. 4They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.

John and the Angel

6The angel said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God who inspires the prophets, sent his angel to show his servants the things that must soon take place.”

7“Look, I am coming soon! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy written in this scroll.”

8I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing them to me. 9But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your fellow prophets and with all who keep the words of this scroll. Worship God!”

10Then he told me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this scroll, because the time is near. 11Let the one who does wrong continue to do wrong; let the vile person continue to be vile; let the one who does right continue to do right; and let the holy person continue to be holy.”

Epilogue: Invitation and Warning

12“Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. 13I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

14“Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. 15Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

16“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you22:16 The Greek is plural. this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.”

17The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.

18I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. 19And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.

20He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.”

Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

21The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen.

رؤيا يوحنا 22:1-21

نهر الحياة

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

يوحنا والملاك

6وَقَالَ لِيَ الْمَلاكُ: «هَذَا الْكَلامُ صِدْقٌ وَحَقٌّ. إِنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلهَ أَرْوَاحِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ أَرْسَلَ مَلاكَهُ لِيُخْبِرَ عَبِيدَهُ بِمَا لَا بُدَّ أَنْ يَحْدُثَ سَرِيعاً.

7إِنِّي آتٍ سَرِيعاً! طُوبَى لِمَنْ يُرَاعِي مَا وَرَدَ فِي كِتَابِ النُّبُوءَةِ هَذَا!»

8أَنَا يُوحَنَّا رَأَيْتُ وَسَمِعْتُ هَذِهِ الأُمُورَ كُلَّهَا. وَبَعْدَمَا سَمِعْتُ وَرَأَيْتُ كُلَّ مَا حَدَثَ، ارْتَمَيْتُ عَلَى قَدَمَيِ الْمَلاكِ الَّذِي أَرَانِي إِيَّاهَا لأَسْجُدَ لَهُ. 9فَقَالَ لِي: «لا تَفْعَلْ! إِنَّنِي عَبْدٌ مِثْلُكَ وَمِثْلُ إِخْوَتِكَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ، وَمِثْلُ الَّذِينَ يُرَاعُونَ مَا جَاءَ فِي هَذَا الْكِتَابِ. لِلهِ اسْجُدْ!» 10ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: «لا تَخْتُمْ عَلَى مَا جَاءَ فِي كِتَابِ النُّبُوءَةِ هَذَا، لأَنَّ مَوْعِدَ إِتْمَامِهِ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ. 11فَمَنْ 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. 13أَنَا الأَلِفُ وَالْيَاءُ، الأَوَّلُ وَالآخِرُ، الْبِدَايَةُ وَالنِّهَايَةُ. 14طُوبَى لِلَّذِينَ يَغْسِلُونَ ثِيَابَهُمْ، فَلَهُمُ السُّلْطَةُ عَلَى شَجَرَةِ الْحَيَاةِ، وَالْحَقُّ فِي دُخُولِ الْمَدِينَةِ مِنَ الأَبْوَابِ! 15أَمَّا فِي خَارِجِ الْمَدِينَةِ، فَهُنَالِكَ الْكِلابُ وَالْمُتَّصِلُونَ بِالشَّيَاطِينِ، وَالزُّنَاةُ وَالْقَتَلَةُ، وَعَبَدَةُ الأَصْنَامِ وَالدَّجَّالُونَ وَمُحِبُّو التَّدْجِيلِ!

16أَنَا يَسُوعُ أَرْسَلْتُ مَلاكِي لأَشْهَدَ لَكُمْ بِهَذِهِ الأُمُورِ فِي الْكَنَائِسِ. أَنَا أَصْلُ دَاوُدَ وَنَسْلُهُ. أَنَا كَوْكَبُ الصُّبْحِ الْمُنِيرُ».

17الرُّوحُ وَالْعَرُوسُ يَقُولانِ: «تَعَالَ!» وَمَنْ يَسْمَعْ فَلْيُرَدِّدِ النِّدَاءَ: «تَعَالَ!»

فَلْيَأْتِ الْعَطْشَانُ! وَكُلُّ مَنْ يُرِيدُ، فَلْيَشْرَبْ مِنْ مَاءِ الْحَيَاةِ مَجَّاناً!

18وَإِنَّنِي 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، 19وَإِنْ أَسْقَطَ أَحَدٌ شَيْئاً مِنْ أَقْوَالِ كِتَابِ النُّبُوءَةِ هَذَا، يُسْقِطُ اللهُ نَصِيبَهُ مِنْ شَجَرَةِ الْحَيَاةِ، وَمِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ، اللَّتَيْنِ جَاءَ ذِكْرُهُمَا فِي هَذَا الْكِتَابِ.

20وَالَّذِي يَشْهَدُ بِهذِهِ الأُمُورِ يَقُولُ: «نَعَمْ! أَنَا آتٍ سَرِيعاً».

آمِين! تَعَالَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ يَسُوعُ!

21وَلْتَكُنْ نِعْمَةُ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ مَعَكُمْ جَمِيعاً.
