¹ܘܚܙܝܬ ܟܕ ܦܬܚ ܐܡܪܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܫܒܥܐ ܛܒܥܝܢ ܘܫܡܥܬ ܠܚܕܐ ܡܢ ܐܪܒܥ ܚܝܘܢ ܕܐܡܪܐ ܐܝܟ ܩܠܐ ܕܪܥܡܐ ܬܐ ܘܚܙܝ ܀

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!”

²ܘܫܡܥܬ ܘܚܙܝܬ ܘܗܐ ܤܘܤܝܐ ܚܘܪܐ ܘܕܝܬܒ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܩܫܬܐ ܘܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܟܠܝܠܐ ܘܢܦܩ ܙܟܝ ܘܙܟܐ ܘܕܢܙܟܐ ܀

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.

³ܘܟܕ ܦܬܚ ܛܒܥܐ ܕܬܪܝܢ ܫܡܥܬ ܠܚܝܘܬܐ ܕܬܪܬܝܢ ܕܐܡܪܐ ܬܐ ܀

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

⁴ܘܢܦܩ ܤܘܤܝܐ ܤܘܡܩܐ ܘܠܕܝܬܒ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܠܡܤܒ ܫܠܡܐ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܠܚܕܕܐ ܢܢܟܤܘܢ ܘܐܬܝܗܒܬ ܠܗ ܚܪܒܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܀

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.

⁵ܘܟܕ ܐܬܦܬܚ ܛܒܥܐ ܕܬܠܬܐ ܫܡܥܬ ܠܚܝܘܬܐ ܕܬܠܬ ܕܐܡܪܐ ܬܐ ܘܗܐ ܤܘܤܝܐ ܐܘܟܡܐ ܘܕܝܬܒ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܝܬ ܡܐܤܬܐ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܀

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.

⁶ܘܫܡܥܬ ܩܠܐ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܚܝܘܬܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܩܒܐ ܕܚܛܐ ܒܕܝܢܪܐ ܘܬܠܬܐ ܩܒܝܢ ܕܤܥܪܐ ܒܕܝܢܪܐ ܘܠܚܡܪܐ ܘܠܡܫܚܐ ܠܐ ܬܗܪ ܀

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!”

⁷ܘܟܕ ܦܬܚ ܛܒܥܐ ܕܐܪܒܥܐ ܫܡܥܬ ܩܠܐ ܕܚܝܘܬܐ ܕܐܡܪܐ ܬܐ ܀

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

⁸ܘܚܙܝܬ ܤܘܤܝܐ ܝܘܪܩܐ ܘܫܡܗ ܕܗܘ ܕܝܬܒ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܡܘܬܐ ܘܫܝܘܠ ܢܩܝܦܐ ܠܗ ܘܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܥܠ ܪܘܒܥܗ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܕܢܩܛܠ ܒܚܪܒܐ ܘܒܟܦܢܐ ܘܒܡܘܬܐ ܘܒܚܝܘܬܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܀

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.

⁹ܘܟܕ ܦܬܚ ܠܛܒܥܐ ܕܚܡܫܐ ܚܙܝܬ ܠܬܚܬ ܡܢ ܡܕܒܚܐ ܠܢܦܫܬܐ ܕܐܬܩܛܠ ܡܛܠ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܡܛܠ ܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܗܝ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܀

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.

¹⁰ܘܩܥܘ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܒܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܐܡܬܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܘܫܪܝܪܐ ܠܐ ܕܝܢܬ ܘܬܒܥܬ ܕܡܢ ܡܢ ܥܡܘܪܝܗ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܀

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?”

¹¹ܘܐܬܝܗܒܬ ܠܟܠܚܕ ܚܕ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܐܤܛܠܐ ܚܘܪܬܐ ܘܐܬܐܡܪ ܕܢܬܬܢܝܚܘܢ ܥܕ ܥܕܢ ܙܒܢ ܙܥܘܪ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܡܫܬܡܠܝܢ ܐܦ ܟܢܘܬܗܘܢ ܘܐܚܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܬܝܕܝܢ ܠܡܬܩܛܠܘ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܦ ܗܢܘܢ ܀

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.

¹²ܘܚܙܝܬ ܟܕ ܦܬܚ ܛܒܥܐ ܕܫܬܐ ܘܢܘܕܐ ܪܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܫܡܫܐ ܐܝܟ ܤܩܐ ܕܤܥܪܐ ܐܘܟܡ ܗܘܐ ܘܤܗܪܐ ܟܠܗ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܐ ܀

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.

¹³ܘܟܘܟܒܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܢܦܠܘ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܐܝܟ ܬܬܐ ܕܫܕܝܐ ܦܩܘܥܝܗ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܥܫܝܢܬܐ ܡܐ ܕܡܬܬܙܝܥܐ ܀

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.

¹⁴ܘܫܡܝܐ ܐܬܦܪܫ ܘܐܝܟ ܟܬܒܐ ܐܬܟܪܟܘ ܘܟܠ ܛܘܪ ܘܟܠ ܓܙܪܬܐ ܡܢ ܕܘܟܬܗܘܢ ܐܬܬܙܝܥܘ ܀

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

¹⁵ܘܡܠܟܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܘܪܘܪܒܢܐ ܘܪܝܫܝ ܐܠܦܐ ܘܥܬܝܪܐ ܘܚܝܠܘܬܐ ܘܟܠ ܥܒܕܐ ܘܒܢܝ ܚܐܪܐ ܛܫܝܘ ܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܒܡܥܪܐ ܘܒܫܘܥܐ ܕܛܘܪܐ ܀

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.

¹⁶ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܘܫܘܥܐ ܕܦܠܘ ܥܠܝܢ ܘܛܫܘ ܠܢ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܐܦܘܗܝ ܕܐܡܪܐ ܀

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,

¹⁷ܡܛܠ ܕܐܬܐ ܝܘܡܐ ܪܒܐ ܕܪܘܓܙܗܘܢ ܘܡܢܘ ܡܫܟܚ ܠܡܩܡ ܀

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