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

¹I saw that the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as with a voice of thunder, “Come and see!”

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

²And behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow. A crown was given to him, and he came forth conquering, and to conquer.

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

³When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come!”

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

⁴Another came forth, a red horse. To him who sat on it was given power to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another. There was given to him a great sword.

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

⁵When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, “Come and see!” And behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a balance in his hand.

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

⁶I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A choenix A choenix is a dry volume measure that is a little more than a litre (a little more than a quart). of wheat for a denarius, and three choenix of barley for a denarius! Don’t damage the oil and the wine!”

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

⁷When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see!”

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።

⁸And behold, a pale horse, and he who sat on it, his name was Death. Hades or, Hell followed with him. Authority over one fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword, with famine, with death, and by the wild animals of the earth was given to him.

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

⁹When he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed for the Word of God, and for the testimony of the Lamb which they had.

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

¹⁰They cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, Master, the holy and true, until you judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”

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

¹¹A long white robe was given to each of them. They were told that they should rest yet for a while, until their fellow servants and their brothers, The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” who would also be killed even as they were, should complete their course.

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

¹²I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. The sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became as blood.

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

¹³The stars of the sky fell to the earth, like a fig tree dropping its unripe figs when it is shaken by a great wind.

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

¹⁴The sky was removed like a scroll when it is rolled up. Every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

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

¹⁵The kings of the earth, the princes, the commanding officers, the rich, the strong, and every slave and free person, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains.

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

¹⁶They told the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb,

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

¹⁷for the great day of his wrath has come; and who is able to stand?”
