From a fully vowelled text

«وَأَمَّا فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ بَعْدَ ذلِكَ الضِّيقِ، فَالشَّمْسُ تُظْلِمُ، وَالْقَمَرُ لاَ يُعْطِي ضَوْءَهُ،But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,Mark 13:24, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
وَعِنْدَ إِطْفَائِي إِيَّاكَ أَحْجُبُ السَّمَاوَاتِ، وَأُظْلِمُ نُجُومَهَا، وَأُغْشِي الشَّمْسَ بِسَحَابٍ، وَالْقَمَرُ لاَ يُضِيءُ ضَوْءَهُ.And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.Ezekiel 32:7, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
«وَلِلْوَقْتِ بَعْدَ ضِيقِ تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ تُظْلِمُ الشَّمْسُ، وَالْقَمَرُ لاَ يُعْطِي ضَوْءَهُ، وَالنُّجُومُ تَسْقُطُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، وَقُوَّاتُ السَّمَاوَاتِ تَتَزَعْزَعُ.Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:Matthew 24:29, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
