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!”
Anis yommuu Hoolichi chaappaawwan torban keessaa isa jalqabaa banu nan arge. Ergasiis uumamawwan lubbuu qabeeyyii keessaa inni tokko sagalee akka kakawweetiin, “Kottu!” jechuu isaa nan dhagaʼe.
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].
Anis nan ilaale; kunoo, fardi adiin tokko fuula koo dura ture! Inni farda sana yaabbates iddaa harkatti qabatee ture; gonfoonis ni kennameef; innis moʼachaa, ammas moʼachuuf baʼe.
3 When the [one who was like a] lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living [creature] say, “Come!”
Yommuu Hoolichi chaappaa lammaffaa banettis uumamni jiraataan inni lammaffaan, “Kottu!” jechuu isaa nan dhagaʼe.
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.
Fardi biraa daamaan tokkos ni dhufe. Isa fardicha yaabbatuufis akka inni nagaa lafa irraa balleessuu fi akka namoonni wal gorraʼan akka godhuuf humni kennameef; goraadeen guddaan tokkos ni kennameef.
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.
Yommuu Hoolichi chaappaa sadaffaa banettis uumamni jiraataan inni sadaffaan, “Kottu!” jechuu isaa nan dhagaʼe; nan ilaales; kunoo, fardi gurraachi tokko fuula koo dura ture! Inni fardicha yaabbatus madaalii of harkaa qaba ture.
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]!”
Anis waan akka sagalee uumamawwan lubbuu qabeeyyii afran gidduu dubbatame fakkaatu tokko, “Qamadiin safartuu tokkoo mindaa guyyaa tokkootiif, garbuun safartuu sadiis mindaa guyyaa tokkootiif haa taʼu; garuu zayitii fi daadhii wayinii hin miidhin!” jechuu isaa nan dhagaʼe.
7 When the [one who is like a] lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living [creature] say, “Come!”
Yommuu Hoolichi chaappaa afuraffaa banetti sagalee uumama jiraataa afuraffaa kan, “Kottu!” jedhu nan dhagaʼe.
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)
Anis nan ilaale; kunoo, fardi daalachi tokko fuula koo dura ture! Inni fardicha yaabbatus maqaan isaa Duʼa jedhama ture; Siiʼoolis dugda duubaan itti dhiʼaatee isa duukaa buʼaa ture. Isaanis goraadeen, beelaan, balaa fi bineensota lafaatiin akka ajjeesaniif kurmaana lafaa irratti humni ni kennameef. (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].
Yommuu inni chaappaa shanaffaa banetti ani iddoo aarsaa jalatti lubbuuwwan warra sababii dubbii Waaqaatii fi sababii dhuga baʼumsa eegan sanaatiif gorraʼamanii nan arge.
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)]?”
Isaanis sagalee guddaadhaan, “Yaa Gooftaa Waan Hundaa Olii, qulqullichaa fi dhugaa, ati warra lafa irra jiraatanitti utuu hin murin hamma yoomiitti turta? Hamma yoomiittis dhiiga keenyaaf haaloo hin baatu?” jedhanii iyyan.
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.
Tokkoo tokkoo isaaniitiifis uffanni adaadiin ni kenname; hamma lakkoobsi warra isaan wajjin tajaajilaniitii fi lakkoobsi obboloota isaanii kanneen akkuma isaaniitti ajjeefamuuf jiran sanaa guutamutti akka yeroo xinnoo obsan isaanitti himame.
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.
Yommuu inni chaappaa jaʼaffaa banettis nan arge. Sochii lafaa guddaa tokkotu ture. Aduun akka uffata gaddaa gurraachofte; jiʼis akkuma dhiigaa diimate;
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}.
urjiiwwan samiis akkuma iji muka harbuu yommuu qilleensa jabaan raafamutti harcaʼu sana lafatti gad harcaʼan.
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.
Samiin akkuma kitaaba maramaatti marame; tulluu fi biyyi bishaaniin marfamtes iddoo isaaniitii buqqifaman.
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.
Mootonni lafa irraa, bulchitoonnii fi abbootiin duulaa, sooreyyii fi namoonni jajjaboonni, namoonni kaan hundi, garbas taʼu birmaduun holqa keessaa fi kattaawwan tulluuwwanii gidduutti dhokatan.
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)].
Isaanis tulluuwwanii fi kattaawwan waammatanii akkana jedhu; “Nurratti kufaa; fuula isa teessoo irra taaʼu sanaatii fi dheekkamsa Hoolichaa duraa nu dhoksaa!
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]”
Guyyaan dheekkamsa isaa guddaan sun gaʼeeraatii; egaa eenyutu guyyaa sana dura dhaabachuu dandaʼa ree?”
