¹And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as it were a voice of thunder, `Come and behold!`

¹በጉም ከሰባቱ ማኅተም አንዱን በፈታ ጊዜ አየሁ፥ ከአራቱም እንስሶች አንዱ ነጐድጓድ በሚመስል ድምፅ። መጥተህ እይ ሲል ሰማሁ።

²and I saw, and lo, a white horse, and he who is sitting upon it is having a bow, and there was given to him a crown, and he went forth overcoming, and that he may overcome.

²አየሁም፥ እነሆም፥ አምባላይ ፈረስ ወጣ፥ በእርሱም ላይ የተቀመጠው ቀስት ነበረው፥ አክሊልም ተሰጠው፥ ድልም እየነሣ ወጣ ድል ለመንሣት።

³And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, `Come and behold!`

³ሁለተኛውንም ማኅተም በፈታ ጊዜ ሁለተኛው እንስሳ። መጥተህ እይ ሲል ሰማሁ።

⁴and there went forth another horse — red, and to him who is sitting upon it, there was given to him to take the peace from the land, and that one another they may slay, and there was given to him a great sword.

⁴ሌላም ዳማ ፈረስ ወጣ፥ በእርሱም ላይ ለተቀመጠው ሰላምን ከምድር ይወስድ ዘንድ ሰዎችም እርስ በርሳቸው እንዲተራረዱ ሥልጣን ተሰጠው፥ ታላቅም ሰይፍ ተሰጠው።

⁵And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, `Come and behold!` and I saw, and lo, a black horse, and he who is sitting upon it is having a balance in his hand,

⁵ሦስተኛውንም ማኅተም በፈታ ጊዜ ሦስተኛው እንስሳ። መጥተህ እይ ሲል ሰማሁ። አየሁም፥ እነሆም፥ ጕራቻ ፈረስ ወጣ፥ በእርሱም ላይ የተቀመጠው በእጁ ሚዛን ያዘ።

⁶and I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, `A measure of wheat for a denary, and three measures of barley for a denary,` and `The oil and the wine thou mayest not injure.`

⁶በአራቱም እንስሶች መካከል ድምፅ። አንድ እርቦ ስንዴ በዲናር ሦስት እርቦ ገብስም በዲናር፥ ዘይትንና ወይንንም አትጕዳ ሲል ሰማሁ።

⁷And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, `Come and behold!`

⁷አራተኛውንም ማኅተም በፈታ ጊዜ የአራተኛው እንስሳ ድምፅ። መጥተህ እይ ሲል ሰማሁ።

⁸and I saw, and lo, a pale horse, and he who is sitting upon him — his name is Death, and Hades doth follow with him, and there was given to them authority to kill, (over the fourth part of the land,) with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and by the beasts of the land.

⁸አየሁም፥ እነሆም፥ ሐመር ፈረስ ወጣ፥ በእርሱም ላይ የተቀመጠው ስሙ ሞት ነበረ። ሲኦልም ተከተለው፤ በሰይፍና በራብም በሞትም በምድርም አራዊት ይገድሉ ዘንድ ከምድር በአራተኛዋ እጅ ላይ ሥልጣን ተሰጣቸው።

⁹And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those slain because of the word of God, and because of the testimony that they held,

⁹አምስተኛውንም ማኅተም በፈታ ጊዜ፥ ስለ እግዚአብሔር ቃልና ስለ ጠበቁት ምስክር የታረዱትን የሰዎች ነፍሳት ከመሠዊያ በታች አየሁ።

¹⁰and they were crying with a great voice, saying, `Till when, O Master, the Holy and the True, dost Thou not judge and take vengeance of our blood from those dwelling upon the land?`

¹⁰በታላቅ ድምፅም እየጮኹ። ቅዱስና እውነተኛ ጌታ ሆይ፥ እስከ መቼ ድረስ አትፈርድም ደማችንንስ በምድር በሚኖሩት ላይ እስከ መቼ አትበቀልም? አሉ።

¹¹and there was given to each one white robes, and it was said to them that they may rest themselves yet a little time, till may be fulfilled also their fellow-servants and their brethren, who are about to be killed — even as they.

¹¹ለእያንዳንዳቸውም ነጭ ልብስ ተሰጣቸው፥ እንደ እነርሱም ደግሞ ይገደሉ ዘንድ ያላቸው የባሪያዎች ባልንጀራዎቻቸውና የወንድሞቻቸው ቍጥር እስኪፈጸም ድረስ፥ ገና ጥቂት ዘመን እንዲያርፉ ተባለላቸው።

¹²And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and lo, a great earthquake came, and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood,

¹²ስድስተኛውንም ማኅተም በፈታ ጊዜ አየሁ፥ ታላቅም የምድር መናወጥ ሆነ፥ ፀሐይም እንደ ማቅ ጠጕር ጥቁር ሆነ፥ ጨረቃም በሞላው እንደ ደም ሆነ፥

¹³and the stars of the heaven fell to the earth — as a fig-tree doth cast her winter figs, by a great wind being shaken —

¹³በለስም በብርቱ ነፋስ ተናውጣ ቃርያዋን ፍሬ እንደምትጥል የሰማይ ከዋክብት ወደ ምድር ወደቁ፥

¹⁴and heaven departed as a scroll rolled up, and every mountain and island — out of their places they were moved;

¹⁴ሰማይም እንደ መጽሐፍ ተጠቅልሎ አለፈ፥ ተራራዎችና ደሴቶችም ሁሉ ከስፍራቸው ተወሰዱ።

¹⁵and the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich, and the chiefs of thousands, and the mighty, and every servant, and every freeman, hid themselves in the dens, and in the rocks of the mountains,

¹⁵የምድርም ነገሥታትና መኳንንት ሻለቃዎችም ባለ ጠጋዎችም ኃይለኛዎችም ባሪያዎችም ጌቶችም ሁሉ በዋሾችና በተራራዎች ዓለቶች ተሰወሩ፥

¹⁶and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, `Fall upon us, and hide us from the face of Him who is sitting upon the throne, and from the anger of the Lamb,`

¹⁶ተራራዎችንና ዓለቶችንም። በላያችን ውደቁ በዙፋንም ከተቀመጠው ፊት ከበጉም ቍጣ ሰውሩን፤

¹⁷because come did the great day of His anger, and who is able to stand?

¹⁷ታላቁ የቁጣው ቀን መጥቶአልና፥ ማንስ ሊቆም ይችላል? አሉአቸው።
