< Revelation 6 >

1 And I saw that the Lamb opened one of the seven seals. And I heard one of the four living creatures saying like the sound of thunder, Come and see.
anantaraṁ mayi nirīkṣamāṇe meṣaśāvakena tāsāṁ saptamudrāṇām ekā mudrā muktā tatasteṣāṁ caturṇām ekasya prāṇina āgatya paśyetivācako meghagarjanatulyo ravo mayā śrutaḥ|
2 And behold, a white horse, and he who sits on it having a bow. And a crown was given to him, and he went forth conquering, and so that he might conquer.
tataḥ param ekaḥ śuklāśco dṛṣṭaḥ, tadārūḍho jano dhanu rdhārayati tasmai ca kirīṭamekam adāyi tataḥ sa prabhavan prabhaviṣyaṁśca nirgatavān|
3 And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, Come.
aparaṁ dvitīyamudrāyāṁ tena mocitāyāṁ dvitīyasya prāṇina āgatya paśyeti vāk mayā śrutā|
4 And another horse came forth, fiery red. And it was given to him (to him who sits on it) to take peace from the earth, so that they would kill each other. And a great sword was given to him.
tato 'ruṇavarṇo 'para eko 'śvo nirgatavān tadārohiṇi pṛthivītaḥ śāntyapaharaṇasya lokānāṁ madhye parasparaṁ pratighātotpādanasya ca sāmarthyaṁ samarpitam, eko bṛhatkhaṅgo 'pi tasmā adāyi|
5 And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, Come and see. And behold, a black horse, and he who sits on it having a balance in his hand.
aparaṁ tṛtīyamudrāyāṁ tana mocitāyāṁ tṛtīyasya prāṇina āgatya paśyeti vāk mayā śrutā, tataḥ kālavarṇa eko 'śvo mayā dṛṣṭaḥ, tadārohiṇo haste tulā tiṣṭhati
6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, A measure of wheat for a denarius, and three measures of barley for a denarius. And thou may not harm the olive oil and the wine.
anantaraṁ prāṇicatuṣṭayasya madhyād vāgiyaṁ śrutā godhūmānāmekaḥ seṭako mudrāpādaikamūlyaḥ, yavānāñca seṭakatrayaṁ mudrāpādaikamūlyaṁ tailadrākṣārasāśca tvayā mā hiṁsitavyāḥ|
7 And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living creature saying, Come and see.
anantaraṁ caturthamudrāyāṁ tena mocitāyāṁ caturthasya prāṇina āgatya paśyeti vāk mayā śrutā|
8 And behold, a green horse, and he who sits on top of it. His name was Death, and Hades followed with him. And authority was given to him over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with starvation, and with what is deadly, and by the beasts of the earth. (Hadēs g86)
tataḥ pāṇḍuravarṇa eko 'śvo mayā dṛṣṭaḥ, tadārohiṇo nāma mṛtyuriti paralokaśca tam anucarati khaṅgena durbhikṣeṇa mahāmāryyā vanyapaśubhiśca lokānāṁ badhāya pṛthivyāścaturthāṁśasyādhipatyaṁ tasmā adāyi| (Hadēs g86)
9 And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed because of the word of God, and because of the testimony of the Lamb that they held.
anantaraṁ pañcamamudrāyāṁ tena mocitāyām īśvaravākyahetostatra sākṣyadānācca cheditānāṁ lokānāṁ dehino vedyā adho mayādṛśyanta|
10 And they cried out in a great voice, saying, Master, Holy and True, how long do thou not judge and avenge our blood from those who dwell on the earth?
ta uccairidaṁ gadanti, he pavitra satyamaya prabho asmākaṁ raktapāte pṛthivīnivāsibhi rvivadituṁ tasya phala dātuñca kati kālaṁ vilambase?
11 And a white robe was given to them each, and it was said to them that they should still rest a time, until also their fellow bondmen, and their brothers, and those going to be killed as they too, would be fulfilled.
tatasteṣām ekaikasmai śubhraḥ paricchado 'dāyi vāgiyañcākathyata yūyamalpakālam arthato yuṣmākaṁ ye sahādāsā bhrātaro yūyamiva ghāniṣyante teṣāṁ saṁkhyā yāvat sampūrṇatāṁ na gacchati tāvad viramata|
12 And I looked when he opened the sixth seal, and a great earthquake occurred, and the sun became black as hairy sackcloth, and the whole moon became as blood.
anantaraṁ yadā sa ṣaṣṭhamudrāmamocayat tadā mayi nirīkṣamāṇe mahān bhūkampo 'bhavat sūryyaśca uṣṭralomajavastravat kṛṣṇavarṇaścandramāśca raktasaṅkāśo 'bhavat
13 And the stars of the sky fell to the earth as a fig tree that casts its unripe figs being shaken by a great wind.
gaganasthatārāśca prabalavāyunā cālitād uḍumbaravṛkṣāt nipātitānyapakkaphalānīva bhūtale nyapatan|
14 And the sky departed as a scroll being rolled up. And every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
ākāśamaṇḍalañca saṅkucyamānagrantha̮ivāntardhānam agamat giraya upadvīpāśca sarvve sthānāntaraṁ cālitāḥ
15 And the kings of the earth, and the rulers, and the chief captains, and the rich, and the strong, and every bondman and freeman, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains.
pṛthivīsthā bhūpālā mahāllokāḥ sahastrapatayo dhaninaḥ parākramiṇaśca lokā dāsā muktāśca sarvve 'pi guhāsu giristhaśaileṣu ca svān prācchādayan|
16 And they say to the mountains and to the rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb.
te ca girīn śailāṁśca vadanti yūyam asmadupari patitvā siṁhāsanopaviṣṭajanasya dṛṣṭito meṣaśāvakasya kopāccāsmān gopāyata;
17 Because the great day of his wrath has come, and who is able to stand?
yatastasya krodhasya mahādinam upasthitaṁ kaḥ sthātuṁ śaknoti?
