< Revelation 6 >

1 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.
و دیدم چون بره یکی از آن هفت مهر راگشود؛ و شنیدم یکی از آن چهار حیوان به صدایی مثل رعد می‌گوید: «بیا (و ببین )!»۱
2 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.
ودیدم که ناگاه اسبی سفید که سوارش کمانی داردو تاجی بدو داده شد و بیرون آمد، غلبه کننده و تاغلبه نماید.۲
3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
و چون مهر دوم را گشود، حیوان دوم راشنیدم که می‌گوید: «بیا (و ببین )!»۳
4 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.
و اسبی دیگر، آتشگون بیرون آمد و سوارش را توانایی داده شده بود که سلامتی را از زمین بردارد و تا یکدیگررا بکشند؛ و به وی شمشیری بزرگ داده شد.۴
5 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.
و چون مهر سوم را گشود، حیوان سوم راشنیدم که می‌گوید: «بیا (و ببین )!» و دیدم اینک اسبی سیاه که سوارش ترازویی بدست خود دارد.۵
6 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.
و از میان چهار حیوان، آوازی را شنیدم که می‌گوید: «یک هشت یک گندم به یک دینار و سه هشت یک جو به یک دینار و به روغن و شراب ضرر مرسان.»۶
7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
و چون مهر‌چهارم را گشود، حیوان چهارم را شنیدم که می‌گوید: «بیا (و ببین )!»۷
8 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)
و دیدم که اینک اسبی زرد و کسی بر آن سوار شده که اسم اوموت است و عالم اموات از عقب او می‌آید؛ و به آن دو اختیار بر یک ربع زمین داده شد تا به شمشیر و قحط و موت و با وحوش زمین بکشند. (Hadēs g86)۸
9 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:
و چون مهر پنجم را گشود، در زیر مذبح دیدم نفوس آنانی را که برای کلام خدا و شهادتی که داشتند کشته شده بودند؛۹
10 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?
که به آواز بلندصدا کرده، می‌گفتند: «ای خداوند قدوس و حق، تا به کی انصاف نمی نمایی و انتقام خون ما را ازساکنان زمین نمی کشی؟»۱۰
11 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.
و به هر یکی از ایشان جامه‌ای سفید داده شد و به ایشان گفته شد که اندکی دیگر آرامی نمایند تا عدد همقطاران که مثل ایشان کشته خواهند شد، تمام شود.۱۱
12 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;
و چون مهر ششم را گشود، دیدم که زلزله‌ای عظیم واقع شد و آفتاب چون پلاس پشمی سیاه گردید و تمام ماه چون خون گشت؛۱۲
13 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.
و ستارگان آسمان بر زمین فرو ریختند، مانند درخت انجیری که از باد سخت به حرکت آمده، میوه های نارس خود را می‌افشاند.۱۳
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
و آسمان چون طوماری پیچیده شده، از جا برده شد و هرکوه و جزیره از مکان خود منتقل گشت.۱۴
15 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;
وپادشاهان زمین و بزرگان و سپه سالاران ودولتمندان و جباران و هر غلام و آزاد خود را درمغاره‌ها و صخره های کوهها پنهان کردند.۱۵
16 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:
و به کوهها و صخره‌ها می‌گویند که «بر ما بیفتید و ما رامخفی سازید از روی آن تخت‌نشین و از غضب بره؛۱۶
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
زیرا روز عظیم غضب او رسیده است وکیست که می‌تواند ایستاد؟»۱۷
