Revelation 6
1 I saw that [Jesus, the one who is like a] lamb, opened the first of the seven seals [of the scroll]. Then I heard one of the four living [creatures] say in a voice [as loud] as [SIM] thunder, “Come!”
Dorssay laappun maatamiyappe issuwa dooyishin be7as. Qassi oyddu de7on de7iya medhetethatappe issoy, dada desho girssan, “Haaya!” yaagishin si7as.
2 Then I saw a white horse [come out]. The one who sat on it had a bow [and arrows]. [God] gave him a crown [to show that he was the king]. Then the one who conquers [people] went out to continue to conquer [people].
Hekko bootha paraa be7as. He paraa toggidasi dongge oykkis; iya huu7en kallachchi de7ees. Ikka xoonishe xoonanaw keyis.
3 When the [one who was like a] lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living [creature] say, “Come!”
Qassi dorssay nam77antho maatamiya dooyida wode de7on de7iya nam77antho medhetethay, “Haaya!” yaagishin si7as.
4 Then a red horse came out. The one sitting on it was allowed {[God] allowed the one sitting on it} to cause [people] to no longer [live] peacefully, but instead to be killing each other. [For this purpose] he was given {[God’s agent] gave to him} a large sword.
Qassi hara siha zo7o pari keyis. He paraa toggidayssas sa7appe saro dhayssana melanne asay woli wurssana mela maatinne gita bisoy imettis.
5 When [the one who is like a] lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living [creature] say, “Come!” This time, I saw a black horse [come out]. The one who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand.
Dorssay heedzantho maatamiya dooyida wode de7on de7iya heedzantho medhetethay, “Haaya!” yaagishin si7as. Hekko kareetha para be7as; ikka ba kushen mizaane oykkis.
6 I heard a voice [that sounded] like [it was coming from] among the four living [creatures]. It was saying ([to the horseman/to the man who was sitting on the black horse]), “A quart of wheat [will cost so much that] a man must work a whole day to earn enough money to buy it, and three quarts of barley will sell for the same price. But do not cut off [the supply of] olive oil or the wine [MTY]!”
Oyddu de7on de7iya medhetethata giddofe, “Issi gallasa oosos damooze, bagga kilo gistte; qassi issi gallasa oosos damooze, issi kilonne bagga bangga gido. Shin zaytiyanne woyniya qohoppa” yaagishin si7as.
7 When the [one who is like a] lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living [creature] say, “Come!”
Dorssay oyddantho maatamiya dooyida wode oyddantho de7on de7iya medhetethay, “Haaya!” yaagishin si7as.
8 This time I saw a pale horse [come out]. The one who sat on it is named ‘[The one who causes] death [PRS]’, and [the one that is named ‘The place where dead people go’] accompanied him. [God] gave them authority over one quarter of the people on earth to incite them to kill each other with weapons [SYN], and also authority to kill them (by [causing them to] starve, by [their causing them to become] sick from epidemics, and by [their causing them to be attacked by] wild animals. (Hadēs g86)
Hekko wancco para be7as. He paraa toggidayssa sunthay hayqo; iya geedo Si7ooley kaallees. Enttaw alameppe oyddantho kushiya olan, koshan, gadoninne do7an wodhisana mela maati imettis. (Hadēs g86)
9 When the [one who is like a] lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under (OR, at the base of) the altar [in heaven] the souls of [God’s servants] who had been killed {whom [people had] killed} because of [their believing] God’s message, and because they told others [the message about Jesus].
Dorssay ichchashantho maatamiya dooyida wode entti Xoossaa qaala odida gishonne bantta markkatethan ammanettida gisho shukettida asaa shemppota yarshsho bessaafe garssan be7as.
10 They spoke loudly [to God] saying, “Sovereign/Almighty Lord, you are holy and faithful. How long [will it be] before you judge [and punish] the people on earth who murdered [us(exc)]?”
Entti bantta qaala dhoqqu oothidi, “Ubbaa haariya Godaw, geeshshaw, tumanchchuwaw, sa7an de7iya asaa bolla ne pirddanaynne nu suuthaa gisho halo keyanay awude?” yaagidosona.
11 [God] gave to each of them a long white robe, and [he] told them to rest a little longer until [people] killed all the believers who served [the Lord] with them. They were believers whom [God wanted to die in just the same way] that these others had been killed.
Entta issuwas issuwas bootha ma7oy imettis. Enttayssada hanidi hayqqanaw bessiya entta laggeta tayboy kumana gakkanaw guutha wode shemppana mela enttaw odettis.
12 I saw that when [the one who is like a] lamb opened the sixth seal, the earth shook violently. The sun became as black as cloth made (of [black] wool/of pitch). The whole moon became [red] [SIM] like blood.
Dorssay usuppuntha maatamiya dooyida wode ta be7as; wolqqaama biitta qaaxoy hanis. Awaa ayfey kaarexidi kayo ma7o mela gidis. Ageenaykka zo77idi suuthu daanis.
13 The stars fell to the earth [in great numbers], just [SIM] like immature figs fall when a fig tree is shaken by a strong wind {when a strong wind shakes a fig tree}.
Wolqqaama carkkoy carkkidi balase mitha qawu7e ayfiyaa qoqqofeyssada saluwa xoolinttoti sa7an qoqqofettidosona.
14 The sky split open and [rolled up on either side] just [SIM] like an [old] scroll rolls up [when it is split in two]. Every mountain and island moved out of its place.
Saloy xaatha maxaafada xaaxettidi aadhdhis; zumaynne abban teqettida biittati bantta bessaafe dhayidosona.
15 [As a result, all the rebellious people] of the earth, [including] kings, high-ranking people, generals, the rich people, the powerful people, along with everyone [else], both slave and free, hid themselves in caves and between the mountain rocks.
Biitta kawoti, deriya haareyssati, olla kaaletheyssati, dureti, wolqqaamati, aylletinne, womaannoti gonggoloninne deriya bolla de7iya zaalla hom77on qosettidosona.
16 They shouted to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us [(exc)] and hide us [(exc)] in order that the one who sits upon the throne will not be able to see us [(exc)] [MTY], and [in order that] the [one who is like a] lamb will not be able to punish [MTY] us [(exc)].
Enttika zumaakkonne zaallako, “Nu bolla wodhdhite; nuna qosite; araatan uttidayssa ayfiyaappenne Dorssa hanquwafe nuna genthite.
17 This is the terrible day on which they will punish [MTY] us [(exc)], and [when that happens], no one will be able to survive! [RHQ]”
Hiza, gita hanqo gallasay gakkis; oone dandda7idi eqqanay?” yaagidosona.
