رُؤيا 6

١ 1 وَرَأَيْتُ الْحَمَلَ وَهُوَ يَفُكُّ أَوَّلَ الْخُتُومِ السَّبْعَةِ، وَسَمِعْتُ وَاحِداً مِنَ الْكَائِنَاتِ الْحَيَّةِ الأَرْبَعَةِ يُنَادِي بِصَوْتٍ كَالرَّعْدِ: «تَعَالَ!»

And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.

٢ 2 فَنَظَرْتُ وَإذَا أَمَامِي حِصَانٌ أَبْيَضُ، يَحْمِلُ رَاكِبُهُ قَوْساً، وَعَلَى رَأْسِهِ إِكْلِيلٌ، وَقَدْ خَرَجَ مُنْتَصِراً وَلِكَيْ يَنْتَصِرَ.

And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

٣ 3 ثُمَّ فَكَّ الْحَمَلُ الْخَتْمَ الثَّانِي، فَسَمِعْتُ الْكَائِنَ الثَّانِي يُنَادِي: «تَعَالَ!»

And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.

٤ 4 فَخَرَجَ حِصَانٌ أَحْمَرُ، أُعْطِيَ رَاكِبُهُ سَيْفاً عَظِيماً، وَمُنِحَ سُلْطَةَ نَزْعِ السَّلامِ مِنَ الأَرْضِ وَجَعْلِ النَّاسِ يَقْتُلُونَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضاً.

And there went out another horse [that was] red: and [power] was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

٥ 5 وَعِنْدَمَا فَكَّ الْحَمَلُ الْخَتْمَ الثَّالِثَ سَمِعْتُ الْكَائِنَ الثَّالِثَ يُنَادِي: «تَعَالَ!» فَرَأَيْتُ حِصَاناً أَسْوَدَ، يَحْمِلُ رَاكِبُهُ مِيزَاناً بِيَدِهِ.

And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

٦ 6 وَسَمِعْتُ صَوْتاً مِنْ بَيْنِ الْكَائِنَاتِ الْحَيَّةِ الأَرْبَعَةِ يَقُولُ: «كَيْلَةُ قَمْحٍ بِدِينَارٍ، وَثَلاثُ كَيْلاتِ شَعِيرٍ بِدِينَارٍ. أَمَّا الزَّيْتُ وَالْخَمْرُ فَلا تَمَسَّهُمَا».

And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and [see] thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

٧ 7 ثُمَّ فَكَّ الْحَمَلُ الْخَتْمَ الرَّابِعَ فَسَمِعْتُ الْكَائِنَ الرَّابِعَ يُنَادِي: «تَعَالَ!»

And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.

٨ 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! (Hadēs g86)

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. (Hadēs g86)

٩ 9 ثُمَّ فَكَّ الْحَمَلُ الْخَتْمَ الْخَامِسَ، فَرَأَيْتُ مَذْبَحاً تَحْتَهُ أَرْوَاحُ الَّذِينَ سُفِكَتْ دِمَاؤُهُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ كَلِمَةِ اللهِ، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ الشَّهَادَةِ الَّتِي أَدَّوْهَا،

And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:

١٠ 10 وَهُمْ يَصْرُخُونَ لِلرَّبِّ بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِمْ: «حَتَّى مَتَى، أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ الْقُدُّوسُ وَالْحَقُّ، تُؤَخِّرُ مُعَاقَبَةَ أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ عَلَى مَا فَعَلُوهُ بِنَا؟ مَتَى تَنْتَقِمُ مِنْهُمْ لِدِمَائِنَا؟»

And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

١١ 11 فَأُعْطِيَ كُلٌّ مِنْهُمْ ثَوْباً أَبْيَضَ، وَقِيلَ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَصْبِرُوا قَلِيلاً إِلَى أَنْ يَكْمُلَ عَدَدُ شُرَكَائِهِمِ الْعَبِيدِ وَإِخْوَتِهِمِ الَّذِينَ سَيُقْتَلُونَ مِثْلَهُمْ.

And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they [were], should be fulfilled.

١٢ 12 ثُمَّ نَظَرْتُ، فَرَأَيْتُ الْحَمَلَ يَفُكُّ الْخَتْمَ السَّادِسَ، وَإذَا الأَرْضُ قَدْ زُلْزِلَتْ زِلْزَالاً عَظِيماً، وَالشَّمْسُ اسْوَدَّتْ فَصَارَتْ كَخِرْقَةٍ مِنْ شَعْرٍ، وَصَارَ الْقَمَرُ أَحْمَرَ كَالدَّمِ،

And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

١٣ 13 وَسَقَطَتْ نُجُومُ السَّمَاءِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ كَمَا تَطْرَحُ شَجَرَةُ التِّينِ ثِمَارَهَا الْفَجَّةَ، إِذَا هَزَّتْهَا رِيحٌ عَاصِفَةٌ.

And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

١٤ 14 وَطُوِيَتِ السَّمَاءُ كَمَا تُطْوَى لِفَافَةٌ مِنْ وَرَقٍ، فَتَزَحْزَحَتِ الْجِبَالُ وَالْجُزُرُ كُلُّهَا مِنْ مَوَاضِعِهَا.

And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

١٥ 15 وَمُلُوكُ الأَرْضِ وَالْعُظَمَاءُ وَالْقُوَّادُ وَالأَغْنِيَاءُ وَالأَقْوِيَاءُ وَالْعَبِيدُ وَالأَحْرَارُ كُلُّهُمُ اخْتَبَأُوا فِي الْمَغَاوِرِ وَصُخُورِ الْجِبَالِ،

And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

١٦ 16 وَهُمْ يَقُولُونَ لِلْجِبَالِ وَالصُّخُورِ: «اُسْقُطِي عَلَيْنَا، وَأَخْفِينَا مِنْ وَجْهِ الْجَالِسِ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ وَمِنْ غَضَبِ الْحَمَلِ!»

And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

١٧ 17 فَإِنَّ يَوْمَ الْغَضَبِ الْعَظِيمَ قَدْ جَاءَهُمْ، وَمَنْ يَقْوَى عَلَى الْوُقُوفِ أَمَامَهُ؟

For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

The Pale Horse of Death
