1 जब थुमाले सातवटा छापमध्ये एउटालाई खोल्‍नुभएको मैले देखेँ, अनि ती चार जीवित प्राणीमध्ये एक जनाले गर्जनको आवज जस्तोमा “आऊ” भनेको मैले सुनेँ ।
Then I watched as the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say in a thunderous voice, “Come!”
2 मैले हेरेँ र त्यहाँ एउटा सेतो घोडा थियो । त्यसमाथि चढ्नेले एउटा वाण समातेका थिए र उनलाई एउटा मुकुट दिइयो । अनि जित्‍नेले जस्तै गरी उनी विजयी गर्नलाई आए ।
So I looked and saw a white horse, and its rider held a bow. And he was given a crown, and he rode out to overcome and conquer.
3 जब थुमाले दोस्रो छापलाई खोल्‍नुभयो, तब मैले त्यो दोस्रो जीवित प्राणीले “आऊ” भनिरहेको सुनेँ ।
And when the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!”
4 तब अर्को अग्‍निमय रातो घोडा निस्केर आयो । त्यसमा सवार गर्नेलाई पृथ्वीबाट शान्ति लिएर जानलाई अनुमति दिइएको थियो । त्यसकारण, ती मानिसहरूले एक-अर्कालाई मार्नेछन् । यी घोडसवारलाई एउटा ठुलो तरवार दिइएको थियो ।
Then another horse went forth. It was bright red, and its rider was granted permission to take away peace from the earth and to make men slay one another. And he was given a great sword.
5 जब थुमाले तेस्रो छापलाई खोल्‍नुभयो, तब तेस्रो जीवित प्राणीले “आऊ” भनेको मैले सुनेँ । मैले एउटा कालो घोडालाई देखेँ, र यसका घोडसवारले उनको हातमा एकजोर तराजुलाई समाइरहेका थिए ।
And when the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” Then I looked and saw a black horse, and its rider held in his hand a pair of scales.
6 मैले चार जीवित प्राणीका बिचमा एउटा आवाज जस्तो देखिनेले भनेको कुरा सुने, “एक दिनको ज्यालामा एक किलो गहूँ र एक दिनको ज्यालामा तिन किलो जौ । तर तेल र दाखमद्यलाई नष्‍ट नगर्नू ।”
And I heard what sounded like a voice from among the four living creatures, saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not harm the oil and wine.”
7 जब थुमाले चौथो छापलाई खोल्‍नुभयो, तब मैले चौथो जीवित प्राणीले “आऊ” भनेको सोरलाई सुनेँ ।
And when the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!”
8 तब मैले पहेँलो घोडालाई देखेँ । यसको घोडसवारको नाउँ मृत्यु थियो, र पातालले त्यसलाई पछ्याइरहेको थियो । अनि तिनीहरूलाई पृथ्वीको एक-चौथाइ भागमाथि तरवारले मार्न, अनिकाल र रोगहरूमाथि, र पृथ्वीका जङ्गली जनावरलाई मार्न अधिकार दिइएको थियो । (Hadēs g86)
Then I looked and saw a pale green horse. Its rider’s name was Death, and Hades followed close behind. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill by sword, by famine, by plague, and by the beasts of the earth. (Hadēs g86)
9 जब थुमाले पाँचौ छापलाई खोल्‍नुभयो, तब वेदीको मुनि परमेश्‍वरको वचन र तिनीहरूको गवाहीका खातिर मारिएका आत्माहरूलाई मैले देखेँ ।
And when the Lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony they had upheld.
10 तिनीहरूले चर्को सोरमा कराए, “सबैमाथिका शासक, पवित्र र साँचो, कहिलेसम्म तपाईंले हाम्रो रगतको बदला लिनुहुन्‍न र पृथ्वीमा बाँचिरहेकाहरूको न्याय गर्नुहुन्‍न?”
And they cried out in a loud voice, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You avenge our blood and judge those who dwell upon the earth?”
11 तब तिनीहरू हरेकलाई एउटा सेतो वस्‍त्र दिइयो, अनि तिनीहरूका सहकर्मी सेवकहरू र तिनीहरूका दाजुभाइहरू र दिदी-बहिनीहरू तिनीहरूजस्तै जो मारिएर सङ्ख्यामा पूर्ण नभएसम्म तिनीहरूलाई पर्खनू भनियो ।
Then each of them was given a white robe and told to rest a little while longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers, were killed, just as they had been killed.
12 जब थुमाले छैटौँ छापलाई खोल्‍नुभयो, तब त्यहाँ एउटा ठुलो भूकम्प गएको मैले देखेँ । सूर्य भाङग्राको कपडाजस्तै कालो र चन्द्रमा पुरा रगतजस्तै बन्यो ।
And when I saw the Lamb open the sixth seal, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black like sackcloth of goat hair, and the whole moon turned blood red,
13 जसरी अञ्‍जीरको रुखलाई आँधीबेहरीले हल्लाउँदा नपाकेका फलहरू झरेजस्तै स्वर्गमा भएका ताराहरू पृथ्वीमा खसे ।
and the stars of the sky fell to the earth like unripe figs dropping from a tree shaken by a great wind.
14 आकाश चर्मपत्रको मुट्ठोजस्तै बेरिएर लोप भयो, जुनचाहिँ बटारिएको थियो । हरेक पहाड र टापु त्यसको ठाउँदेखि हटेर गए ।
The sky receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved from its place.
15 तब पृथ्वीका राजाहरू र महत्त्‍वपूर्ण मानिसहरू अनि जनसाधारणहरू, धनी, शक्‍तिशाली, अनि दास र स्वतन्‍त्र हरेक व्यक्‍ति पहाडका चट्टानहरूका बिचमा र गुफाहरूमा लुके ।
Then the kings of the earth, the nobles, the commanders, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and free man hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains.
16 तिनीहरूले पर्वत र चट्टानहरूलाई भने, “हामीमा खस! सिंहासनमा विराजमान हुनुहुनेको मुहारबाट र थुमाको क्रोधबाट हामीलाई लुकाऊ ।
And they said to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of the One seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb.
17 किनकि तिनीहरूको क्रोधको महान् दिन आएको छ र त्यहाँ को उभिन सक्छ र? ।”
For the great day of Their wrath has come, and who is able to withstand it?”
