¹ونظرت لما فتح الخروف واحدا من الختوم السبعة وسمعت واحدا من الاربعة الحيوانات قائلا كصوت رعد هلم وانظر.

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!”

²فنظرت واذا فرس ابيض والجالس عليه معه قوس وقد أعطي اكليلا وخرج غالبا ولكي يغلب

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.

³ولما فتح الختم الثاني سمعت الحيوان الثاني قائلا هلم وانظر.

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

⁴فخرج فرس آخر احمر وللجالس عليه أعطي ان ينزع السلام من الارض وان يقتل بعضهم بعضا وأعطي سيفا عظيما

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.

⁵ولما فتح الختم الثالث سمعت الحيوان الثالث قائلا هلم وانظر. فنظرت واذا فرس اسود والجالس عليه معه ميزان في يده.

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.

⁶وسمعت صوتا في وسط الاربعة الحيوانات قائلا ثمنية قمح بدينار وثلاث ثماني شعير بدينار واما الزيت والخمر فلا تضرهما

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!”

⁷ولما فتح الختم الرابع سمعت صوت الحيوان الرابع قائلا هلم وانظر.

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

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.

⁹ولما فتح الختم الخامس رأيت تحت المذبح نفوس الذين قتلوا من اجل كلمة الله ومن اجل الشهادة التي كانت عندهم.

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.

¹⁰وصرخوا بصوت عظيم قائلين حتى متى ايها السيد القدوس والحق لا تقضي وتنتقم لدمائنا من الساكنين على الارض.

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?”

¹¹فأعطوا كل واحد ثيابا بيضا وقيل لهم ان يستريحوا زمانا يسيرا ايضا حتى يكمل العبيد رفقاؤهم واخوتهم ايضا العتيدون ان يقتلوا مثلهم

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.

¹²ونظرت لما فتح الختم السادس واذا زلزلة عظيمة حدثت والشمس صارت سوداء كمسح من شعر والقمر صار كالدم

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.

¹³ونجوم السماء سقطت الى الارض كما تطرح شجرة التين سقاطها اذا هزتها ريح عظيمة

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.

¹⁴والسماء انفلقت كدرج ملتف وكل جبل وجزيرة تزحزحا من موضعهما.

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

¹⁵وملوك الارض والعظماء والاغنياء والامراء والاقوياء وكل عبد وكل حرّ اخفوا انفسهم في المغاير وفي صخور الجبال

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.

¹⁶وهم يقولون للجبال والصخور اسقطي علينا واخفينا عن وجه الجالس على العرش وعن غضب الخروف

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,

¹⁷لانه قد جاء يوم غضبه العظيم ومن يستطيع الوقوف

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