Revelation 6

1 Then I watched as the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!”

1 وَرَأَيْتُ الْحَمَلَ وَهُوَ يَفُكُّ أَوَّلَ الْخُتُومِ السَّبْعَةِ، وَسَمِعْتُ وَاحِداً مِنَ الْكَائِنَاتِ الْحَيَّةِ الأَرْبَعَةِ يُنَادِي بِصَوْتٍ كَالرَّعْدِ: «تَعَالَ!»

2 So I looked and saw a white horse, and its rider held a bow. And he was given a crown, and he rode out to overcome and conquer.

2 فَنَظَرْتُ وَإذَا أَمَامِي حِصَانٌ أَبْيَضُ، يَحْمِلُ رَاكِبُهُ قَوْساً، وَعَلَى رَأْسِهِ إِكْلِيلٌ، وَقَدْ خَرَجَ مُنْتَصِراً وَلِكَيْ يَنْتَصِرَ.

3 And when the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!”

3 ثُمَّ فَكَّ الْحَمَلُ الْخَتْمَ الثَّانِي، فَسَمِعْتُ الْكَائِنَ الثَّانِي يُنَادِي: «تَعَالَ!»

4 Then another horse went forth. It was bright red, and its rider was granted permission to take away peace from the earth and to make men slay one another. And he was given a great sword.

4 فَخَرَجَ حِصَانٌ أَحْمَرُ، أُعْطِيَ رَاكِبُهُ سَيْفاً عَظِيماً، وَمُنِحَ سُلْطَةَ نَزْعِ السَّلامِ مِنَ الأَرْضِ وَجَعْلِ النَّاسِ يَقْتُلُونَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضاً.

5 And when the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” Then I looked and saw a black horse, and its rider held in his hand a pair of scales.

5 وَعِنْدَمَا فَكَّ الْحَمَلُ الْخَتْمَ الثَّالِثَ سَمِعْتُ الْكَائِنَ الثَّالِثَ يُنَادِي: «تَعَالَ!» فَرَأَيْتُ حِصَاناً أَسْوَدَ، يَحْمِلُ رَاكِبُهُ مِيزَاناً بِيَدِهِ.

6 And I heard what sounded like a voice from among the four living creatures, saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not harm the oil and wine.”

6 وَسَمِعْتُ صَوْتاً مِنْ بَيْنِ الْكَائِنَاتِ الْحَيَّةِ الأَرْبَعَةِ يَقُولُ: «كَيْلَةُ قَمْحٍ بِدِينَارٍ، وَثَلاثُ كَيْلاتِ شَعِيرٍ بِدِينَارٍ. أَمَّا الزَّيْتُ وَالْخَمْرُ فَلا تَمَسَّهُمَا».

7 And when the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!”

7 ثُمَّ فَكَّ الْحَمَلُ الْخَتْمَ الرَّابِعَ فَسَمِعْتُ الْكَائِنَ الرَّابِعَ يُنَادِي: «تَعَالَ!»

8 Then I looked and saw a pale green horse. Its rider’s name was Death, and Hades followed close behind. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill by sword, by famine, by plague, and by the beasts of the earth.

8 فَرَأَيْتُ حِصَاناً لَوْنُهُ أَخْضَرُ «بَاهِتُ اللَّوْنِ»، اسْمُ رَاكِبِهِ «الْمَوْتُ» يَتْبَعُهُ حِصَانٌ آخَرُ اسْمُ رَاكِبِهِ «الْهَاوِيَةُ»، وَأُعْطِيَا سُلْطَةَ إِبَادَةِ رُبْعِ الأَرْضِ بِالسَّيْفِ وَالْجُوعِ وَالْوَبَاءِ وَوُحُوشِ الأَرْضِ الضَّارِيَةِ!

9 And when the Lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony they had upheld.

9 ثُمَّ فَكَّ الْحَمَلُ الْخَتْمَ الْخَامِسَ، فَرَأَيْتُ مَذْبَحاً تَحْتَهُ أَرْوَاحُ الَّذِينَ سُفِكَتْ دِمَاؤُهُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ كَلِمَةِ اللهِ، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ الشَّهَادَةِ الَّتِي أَدَّوْهَا،

10 And they cried out in a loud voice, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge those who dwell upon the earth and avenge our blood?”

10 وَهُمْ يَصْرُخُونَ لِلرَّبِّ بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِمْ: «حَتَّى مَتَى، أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ الْقُدُّوسُ وَالْحَقُّ، تُؤَخِّرُ مُعَاقَبَةَ أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ عَلَى مَا فَعَلُوهُ بِنَا؟ مَتَى تَنْتَقِمُ مِنْهُمْ لِدِمَائِنَا؟»

11 Then each of them was given a white robe and told to rest a little while longer until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers, were killed, just as they had been killed.

11 فَأُعْطِيَ كُلٌّ مِنْهُمْ ثَوْباً أَبْيَضَ، وَقِيلَ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَصْبِرُوا قَلِيلاً إِلَى أَنْ يَكْمُلَ عَدَدُ شُرَكَائِهِمِ الْعَبِيدِ وَإِخْوَتِهِمِ الَّذِينَ سَيُقْتَلُونَ مِثْلَهُمْ.

12 And I watched as the Lamb opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black like sackcloth of goat hair, and the whole moon turned blood red,

12 ثُمَّ نَظَرْتُ، فَرَأَيْتُ الْحَمَلَ يَفُكُّ الْخَتْمَ السَّادِسَ، وَإذَا الأَرْضُ قَدْ زُلْزِلَتْ زِلْزَالاً عَظِيماً، وَالشَّمْسُ اسْوَدَّتْ فَصَارَتْ كَخِرْقَةٍ مِنْ شَعْرٍ، وَصَارَ الْقَمَرُ أَحْمَرَ كَالدَّمِ،

13 and the stars of the sky fell to the earth like unripe figs dropping from a tree shaken by a great wind.

13 وَسَقَطَتْ نُجُومُ السَّمَاءِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ كَمَا تَطْرَحُ شَجَرَةُ التِّينِ ثِمَارَهَا الْفَجَّةَ، إِذَا هَزَّتْهَا رِيحٌ عَاصِفَةٌ.

14 The sky receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved from its place.

14 وَطُوِيَتِ السَّمَاءُ كَمَا تُطْوَى لِفَافَةٌ مِنْ وَرَقٍ، فَتَزَحْزَحَتِ الْجِبَالُ وَالْجُزُرُ كُلُّهَا مِنْ مَوَاضِعِهَا.

15 Then the kings of the earth, the nobles, the commanders, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and free man hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains.

15 وَمُلُوكُ الأَرْضِ وَالْعُظَمَاءُ وَالْقُوَّادُ وَالأَغْنِيَاءُ وَالأَقْوِيَاءُ وَالْعَبِيدُ وَالأَحْرَارُ كُلُّهُمُ اخْتَبَأُوا فِي الْمَغَاوِرِ وَصُخُورِ الْجِبَالِ،

16 And they said to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of the One seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb.

16 وَهُمْ يَقُولُونَ لِلْجِبَالِ وَالصُّخُورِ: «اُسْقُطِي عَلَيْنَا، وَأَخْفِينَا مِنْ وَجْهِ الْجَالِسِ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ وَمِنْ غَضَبِ الْحَمَلِ!»

17 For the great day of Their wrath has come, and who is able to withstand it?”

17 فَإِنَّ يَوْمَ الْغَضَبِ الْعَظِيمَ قَدْ جَاءَهُمْ، وَمَنْ يَقْوَى عَلَى الْوُقُوفِ أَمَامَهُ؟
