Paltiing 6
1 Kimmitaak idi linuktan ti Kordero ti maysa kadagiti pito a selio, ket nangngegko a kinuna ti maysa kadagiti uppat a sibibiag a parsua, iti timek a kas iti uni ti gurruod, “Umayka!”
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!”
2 Kimmitaak ket adda puraw a kabalio! Nakaiggem iti pana ti nakasakay iti daytoy, ken naikkan iti korona. Rimmuar isuna a kas mammarmek tapno mangparmek.
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].
3 Idi linuktan ti Kordero ti maikadua a selio, nangngegko a kuna ti maikadua a sibibiag a parsua, “Umayka!”
When the [one who was like a] lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living [creature] say, “Come!”
4 Ket sabali manen a kabalio iti rimmuar- maris nalabaga daytoy. Napalubosan ti nagsakay iti daytoy a mangipanaw iti kapia manipud iti daga, tapno iti kasta ket agpipinnatay dagiti tattao. Naikkan daytoy a nakasakay iti nakadakdakkel a kampilan.
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.
5 Idi linuktan ti Kordero ti maikatlo a selio, nangngegko ti maikatlo a sibibiag a parsua a kunana, “Umayka!” Adda nakitak a nangisit a kabalio, ken ti nakasakay ket nakaiggem iti agparis a timbangan.
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.
6 Nakangngegak iti timek a kasla naggapu kadagiti uppat a sibibiag a parsua a kunana, “Sangkasukat a sebada ti pakaigatangan ti maysa a denario, ken ti tallo kasukat a sebada ket magatang ti maysa a denario. Ngem saanmo nga an-annoen ti lana ken ti arak.”
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]!”
7 Idi linuktan ti Kordero ti maikapat a selio, nangngegko ti timek ti maikapat a sibibiag a parsua a kunana, “Umayka!”
When the [one who is like a] lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living [creature] say, “Come!”
8 Kalpasanna ket adda nakitak a kabalio a nabessag ti marisna. Ti nagan ti nakasakay ket Patay, ket sursuroten isuna ti hades. Naited kadakuada ti turay a mangituray iti kakapat ti lubong, a mangpapatay babaen iti kampilan, panagbisin ken sakit, ken babaen kadagiti atap nga ay-ayup iti daga. (Hadēs g86)
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)
9 Idi linuktan ti Kordero ti maikalima a selio, nakitak iti sirok ti altar dagiti kararua dagidiay napapatay gapu iti sao ti Dios ken ti pammaneknek a sinalsalimetmetanda nga addaan panamati.
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].
10 Impukkawda iti nakapigpigsa, “Kasano pay kabayag, Mangiturturay iti amin, nasantoan ken pudno, sakbay nga ukomem dagiti agnanaed iti daga, ken ibalesmo ti darami?”
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)]?”
11 Kalpasan ket naikkan ti tunggal maysa kadakuada iti puraw a kagay, ken naibaga kadakuada a masapul nga agurayda iti nabaybayag bassit aginggana a madanon ti umiso a bilang dagiti padada nga adipen ken dagiti kakabsatda a lallaki, ken kakabsatda a babbai a mapapatayto, a kas iti pannakapapatayda.
[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.
12 Idi linuktan ti Kordero ti maikainnem a selio, nagbuyaak ket adda iti nakapigpigsa a gingined. Ngimmisit ti init a kas kangisit iti nakersang a lupot, ken limmabaga ti bulan a kas iti dara.
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.
13 Natinnag dagiti bituen iti daga, kas iti pannakaregreg iti bunga ti kayo nga igos iti tiempo iti lam-ek no gungunen ti angin iti allawig.
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}.
14 Nagpukaw ti tangatang a kas iti pagbasaan a maluklukot. Tunggal bantay ken isla ket naipanaw manipud iti ayanna.
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.
15 Kalpasanna, naglemmeng dagiti ar-ari iti lubong ken dagiti napapateg a tattao, ken dagiti heneral, dagiti nababaknang, dagiti addaan turay, ken tunggal maysa pay, adipen ken nawaya, kadagiti rukib ken kadagiti dadakkel a batbato kadagiti banbantay.
[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.
16 Kinunada kadagiti banbantay ken kadagiti dadakkel a batbato, “Gaburandakami! Ilemmengdakami manipud iti rupa daydiay a nakatugaw iti trono ken manipud iti unget ti Kordero.
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)].
17 Ta dimtengen ti naindaklan nga aldaw ti pungtotda, ket siasino iti makaibtur?
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]”
