رُؤيا 6

١ 1 وَنَظَرْتُ لَمَّا فَتَحَ ٱلْخَرُوفُ وَاحِدًا مِنَ ٱلْخُتُومِ ٱلسَّبْعَةِ، وَسَمِعْتُ وَاحِدًا مِنَ ٱلْأَرْبَعَةِ ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتِ قَائِلًا كَصَوْتِ رَعْدٍ: «هَلُمَّ وَٱنْظُرْ!».

Then I saw the Lamb open one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder, “Come and see.”

٢ 2 فَنَظَرْتُ، وَإِذَا فَرَسٌ أَبْيَضُ، وَٱلْجَالِسُ عَلَيْهِ مَعَهُ قَوْسٌ، وَقَدْ أُعْطِيَ إِكْلِيلًا، وَخَرَجَ غَالِبًا وَلِكَيْ يَغْلِبَ.

And behold, there was a white horse! Its rider had a bow, and he was given a crown and went out conquering and to conquer.

٣ 3 وَلَمَّا فَتَحَ ٱلْخَتْمَ ٱلثَّانِيَ، سَمِعْتُ ٱلْحَيَوَانَ ٱلثَّانِيَ قَائِلًا: «هَلُمَّ وَٱنْظُرْ!»

When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come.”

٤ 4 فَخَرَجَ فَرَسٌ آخَرُ أَحْمَرُ، وَلِلْجَالِسِ عَلَيْهِ أُعْطِيَ أَنْ يَنْزِعَ ٱلسَّلَامَ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَأَنْ يَقْتُلَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا، وَأُعْطِيَ سَيْفًا عَظِيمًا.

Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that people would slay one another, and he was given a great sword.

٥ 5 وَلَمَّا فَتَحَ ٱلْخَتْمَ ٱلثَّالِثَ، سَمِعْتُ ٱلْحَيَوَانَ ٱلثَّالِثَ قَائِلًا: «هَلُمَّ وَٱنْظُرْ!». فَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا فَرَسٌ أَسْوَدُ، وَٱلْجَالِسُ عَلَيْهِ مَعَهُ مِيزَانٌ فِي يَدِهِ.

When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.” And behold, there was a black horse! Its rider had a balance scale in his hand.

٦ 6 وَسَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْأَرْبَعَةِ ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتِ قَائِلًا: «ثُمْنِيَّةُ قَمْحٍ بِدِينَارٍ، وَثَلَاثُ ثَمَانِيِّ شَعِيرٍ بِدِينَارٍ. وَأَمَّا ٱلزَّيْتُ وَٱلْخَمْرُ فَلَا تَضُرَّهُمَا».

Then I heard a voice from among the four living creatures saying, “A measure of wheat for a denarius, and three measures of barley for a denarius, and do not damage the oil and wine.”

٧ 7 وَلَمَّا فَتَحَ ٱلْخَتْمَ ٱلرَّابِعَ، سَمِعْتُ صَوْتَ ٱلْحَيَوَانِ ٱلرَّابِعِ قَائِلًا: «هَلُمَّ وَٱنْظُرْ!».

When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living creature say, “Come and see.”

٨ 8 فَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا فَرَسٌ أَخْضَرُ، وَٱلْجَالِسُ عَلَيْهِ ٱسْمُهُ ٱلْمَوْتُ، وَٱلْهَاوِيَةُ تَتْبَعُهُ، وَأُعْطِيَا سُلْطَانًا عَلَى رُبْعِ ٱلْأَرْضِ أَنْ يَقْتُلَا بِٱلسَّيْفِ وَٱلْجُوعِ وَٱلْمَوْتِ وَبِوُحُوشِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. (Hadēs g86)

And behold, there was a pale green horse! The name of its rider was Death, and Hades followed him. He was given authority over a fourth of the earth to kill by the sword, by famine and pestilence, and by the wild beasts of the earth. (Hadēs g86)

٩ 9 وَلَمَّا فَتَحَ ٱلْخَتْمَ ٱلْخَامِسَ، رَأَيْتُ تَحْتَ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ نُفُوسَ ٱلَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا مِنْ أَجْلِ كَلِمَةِ ٱللهِ، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلشَّهَادَةِ ٱلَّتِي كَانَتْ عِنْدَهُمْ،

When the Lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and because of the testimony of the Lamb which they had upheld.

١٠ 10 وَصَرَخُوا بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ قَائِلِينَ: «حَتَّى مَتَى أَيُّهَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلْقُدُّوسُ وَٱلْحَقُّ، لَا تَقْضِي وَتَنْتَقِمُ لِدِمَائِنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ؟»

They cried out with a loud voice, “How long, O Master, Holy and True, will yoʋ not judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”

١١ 11 فَأُعْطُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ ثِيَابًا بِيضًا، وَقِيلَ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَسْتَرِيحُوا زَمَانًا يَسِيرًا أَيْضًا حَتَّى يَكْمَلَ ٱلْعَبِيدُ رُفَقَاؤُهُمْ، وَإِخْوَتُهُمْ أَيْضًا، ٱلْعَتِيدُونَ أَنْ يُقْتَلُوا مِثْلَهُمْ.

They were each given a white robe and told to rest a while longer, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who were about to be killed just as they had been, should complete their course.

١٢ 12 وَنَظَرْتُ لَمَّا فَتَحَ ٱلْخَتْمَ ٱلسَّادِسَ، وَإِذَا زَلْزَلَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ حَدَثَتْ، وَٱلشَّمْسُ صَارَتْ سَوْدَاءَ كَمِسْحٍ مِنْ شَعْرٍ، وَٱلْقَمَرُ صَارَ كَٱلدَّمِ،

Then I watched as the Lamb opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. The sun became as black as sackcloth made of goat hair, the entire moon became like blood,

١٣ 13 وَنُجُومُ ٱلسَّمَاءِ سَقَطَتْ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَمَا تَطْرَحُ شَجَرَةُ ٱلتِّينِ سُقَاطَهَا إِذَا هَزَّتْهَا رِيحٌ عَظِيمَةٌ.

and the stars of the sky fell to the earth like a fig tree dropping its unripe figs when it is shaken by a strong wind.

١٤ 14 وَٱلسَّمَاءُ ٱنْفَلَقَتْ كَدَرْجٍ مُلْتَفٍّ، وَكُلُّ جَبَلٍ وَجَزِيرَةٍ تَزَحْزَحَا مِنْ مَوْضِعِهِمَا.

The sky was split apart like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.

١٥ 15 وَمُلُوكُ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلْعُظَمَاءُ وَٱلْأَغْنِيَاءُ وَٱلْأُمَرَاءُ وَٱلْأَقْوِيَاءُ وَكُلُّ عَبْدٍ وَكُلُّ حُرٍّ، أَخْفَوْا أَنْفُسَهُمْ فِي ٱلْمَغَايِرِ وَفِي صُخُورِ ٱلْجِبَالِ،

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

١٦ 16 وَهُمْ يَقُولُونَ لِلْجِبَالِ وَٱلصُّخُورِ: «ٱسْقُطِي عَلَيْنَا وَأَخْفِينَا عَنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْجَالِسِ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ وَعَنْ غَضَبِ ٱلْخَرُوفِ،

And they said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb,

١٧ 17 لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ جَاءَ يَوْمُ غَضَبِهِ ٱلْعَظِيمُ. وَمَنْ يَسْتَطِيعُ ٱلْوُقُوفَ؟».

for the great day of his wrath has come, and who can withstand it?”

The Pale Horse of Death
