Wahyu 6
1 Selanjutnya saya melihat Anak Domba itu melepaskan meterai yang pertama dari ketujuh meterai pada gulungan kitab tersebut. Segera setelahnya, saya mendengar satu dari keempat makhluk hidup itu berkata dengan suara seperti bunyi guntur, “Mari dan lihatlah!”
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 Lalu tampaklah seekor kuda putih bergerak maju di hadapan mereka semua, dan orang yang sedang menungganginya memegang busur. Kepadanya diberikan satu mahkota. Kemudian dia berangkat ke bumi untuk mengalahkan musuh-musuhnya.
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 Ketika Anak Domba itu melepaskan meterai kedua, saya mendengar makhluk yang kedua berkata, “Mari!”
When the [one who was like a] lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living [creature] say, “Come!”
4 Lalu majulah seekor kuda lain. Kuda itu berwarna merah seperti nyala api. Kepada penunggangnya diberikan pedang besar dan kuasa untuk melenyapkan damai dari bumi, supaya manusia saling membunuh.
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 Berikutnya, ketika Anak Domba itu melepaskan meterai ketiga, saya mendengar makhluk yang ketiga berkata, “Mari!” Lalu majulah seekor kuda hitam. Penunggang kuda itu memegang sebuah timbangan di tangannya.
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 Kemudian saya mendengar suara yang kedengarannya seperti suara manusia dari tengah-tengah keempat makhluk hidup tadi. Suara itu berkata, “Aduh! Harga satu liter gandum atau tiga liter jelai sudah naik menjadi sama dengan upah sehari seorang pekerja! Aduh, jangan sampai harga minyak dan anggur ikut naik!”
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 Ketika Anak Domba itu membuka meterai yang keempat, makhluk hidup yang keempat berkata, “Mari dan lihatlah!”
When the [one who is like a] lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living [creature] say, “Come!”
8 Lalu majulah seekor kuda yang pucat karena sakit. Penunggang kuda itu melambangkan kematian, dan ada sosok seperti hantu yang mengikutinya. Sosok itu menggambarkan Syeol. Kepada mereka diberikan kuasa atas seperempat bumi untuk membunuh manusia melalui perang, kelaparan, penyakit, dan terkaman binatang buas. (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 Ketika Anak Domba itu melepaskan meterai yang kelima, saya melihat banyak jiwa di bawah mezbah surgawi! Jiwa-jiwa itu adalah orang-orang yang sudah dibunuh karena memberitakan Firman Allah dan bersaksi tentang Anak Domba dengan setia.
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 Mereka berseru-seru, “Ya Allah, Penguasa kami yang kudus dan maha benar, berapa lama lagi kami harus menunggu sampai Engkau menghakimi dan menjatuhkan hukuman atas orang-orang di dunia yang sudah membunuh kami?”
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 Kepada setiap jiwa itu diberikan jubah putih dan mereka diberitahukan, “Bersabarlah sebentar lagi. Karena masih ada saudara-saudari seimanmu yang akan dibunuh seperti kalian, yaitu orang-orang yang mengikuti jejakmu dalam melayani Kristus. Hendaklah kamu semua sabar menunggu sampai, sesuai rencana Allah, jumlah orang yang mati terbunuh sudah tercapai.”
[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 Ketika Anak Domba itu melepaskan meterai keenam, terjadilah gempa bumi yang hebat! Matahari menjadi hitam seperti pakaian berkabung, dan bulan purnama menjadi merah seperti darah.
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 Bintang-bintang di langit pun berjatuhan ke atas bumi, bagaikan buah-buah pohon ara yang masih muda berguguran ketika diguncang angin yang kencang.
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 Lalu langit terbelah dan tergulung seperti sehelai kertas. Setiap gunung dan pulau tergeser dari tempatnya.
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 Kemudian semua orang melarikan diri dan bersembunyi ke dalam gua-gua dan celah-celah batu di gunung, termasuk raja-raja di bumi, orang-orang terkemuka, para komandan tentara, orang-orang kaya, orang-orang yang kuat, dan orang-orang lainnya, baik budak maupun orang merdeka.
[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 Mereka berkata kepada gunung-gunung dan batu-batu itu, “Runtuhlah dan timbunlah kami! Sembunyikan kami dari Dia yang duduk di atas takhta dan dari murka Anak Domba itu!
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 Karena hari yang paling mengerikan sudah tiba, hari di mana Anak Domba itu akan menghukum kita dengan murka-Nya yang dahsyat! Tamatlah kita semua! Matilah kita!”
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]”
