< Revelation 6 >

1 I 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!”
ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲛϭⲓⲡⲉϩⲓⲉⲓⲃ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲓⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲥⲫⲣⲁⲅⲓⲥ ⲁⲓⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲍⲱⲟⲛ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲙⲏ ⲛϩⲣⲟⲩⲙⲡⲉ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲙⲟⲩ.
2 Then a white horse appeared, and he who sat on it had a bow. A crown was given to him, and he came out conquering, and to conquer.
ⲃ̅ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲥⲟⲩϩⲧⲟ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲃϣ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲡⲓ̈ⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲧⲁⲗⲏⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲗⲟⲙ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉϥϫⲣⲁⲉⲓⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϫⲣⲟ
3 When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come!”
ⲅ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲙⲉϩⲥⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲥⲫⲣⲁⲅⲓⲥ ⲁⲓⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲡⲙⲉϩⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲍⲱⲟⲛ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲙⲟⲩ
4 Another came out, 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.
ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓⲟⲩϩⲧⲟ ⲉϥⲧⲣⲉϣⲣⲱϣ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲧⲧⲁⲗⲏⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥϥⲓ ⲛϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓϫⲙⲡⲕⲁϩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉϩⲱⲧⲃ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲉⲣⲏⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲥⲏϥⲉ
5 When 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.
ⲉ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲙⲉϩϣⲟⲙⲧⲉ ⲛⲥⲫⲣⲁⲅⲓⲥ ⲁⲓⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲡⲙⲉϩϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲛⲍⲱⲟⲛ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲥⲟⲩϩⲧⲟ ⲛⲕⲁⲙⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲧⲧⲁⲗⲏⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩⲙⲁϣⲉ ϩⲛⲧⲉϥϭⲓϫ
6 I heard a voice in the middle of the four living creatures saying, “A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three choenix of barley for a denarius! Don’t damage the oil and the wine!”
ⲋ̅ⲁⲓⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲩⲥⲙⲏ ⲛⲧⲙⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲍⲱⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩϭⲁⲡⲓϫⲉ ⲛⲥⲟⲩⲟ ϩⲁⲟⲩⲥⲁⲧⲉⲉⲣⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ϣⲟⲙⲧⲉ ⲛϭⲁⲡⲓϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲓⲱⲧ ϩⲁⲟⲩⲥⲁⲧⲉⲉⲣⲉ ⲡⲛⲉϩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲙⲛⲡⲏⲣⲡ ⲙⲡⲣⲧⲁⲕⲟⲟⲩ
7 When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see!”
ⲍ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲙⲉϩϥⲧⲟⲉ ⲛⲥⲫⲣⲁⲅⲓⲥ ⲁⲓⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲥⲙⲏ ⲙⲡⲙⲉϩϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲍⲱⲟⲛ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲙⲟⲩ
8 And behold, a pale horse, and the name of he who sat on it was Death. Hades 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. (Hadēs g86)
ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲥⲟⲩϩⲧⲟ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲉⲧⲱⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲧⲧⲁⲗⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲉⲁⲙⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲏϩ ⲛⲥⲱϥ ⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉϫⲙⲡⲟⲩ ⲛϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲉⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧⲟⲩ ϩⲛⲧⲥⲏϥⲉ ⲙⲛⲡϩⲉⲃⲱⲱⲛ ⲙⲛⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲙⲛⲛⲉⲑⲩⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲙⲡⲕⲁϩ (Hadēs g86)
9 When 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.
ⲑ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲙⲉϩϯⲉ ⲛⲥⲫⲣⲁⲅⲓⲥ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲁⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲯⲩⲭⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲛⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲩϩⲟⲧⲃⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥ
10 They 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?”
ⲓ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲁϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲥⲙⲏ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϣⲁⲛⲧⲉⲟⲩ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲙⲙⲉ ⲉⲛⲅⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲅϫⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲕⲃⲁ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲏⲏϩ ϩⲓϫⲙⲡⲕⲁϩ
11 A 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, who would also be killed even as they were, should complete their course.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲃϣ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲕⲉⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ϣⲁⲛⲧⲟⲩϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓⲛⲉⲩⲕⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲛⲉⲩϣⲃⲏⲣϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲁⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧⲟⲩ ϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲉⲩϩⲉ
12 I 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.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲛⲧⲙⲉϩⲥⲟⲉ ⲛⲥⲫⲣⲁⲅⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲕⲧⲟ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲡⲣⲏ ⲁϥϭⲙⲟⲙ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϭⲟⲟⲩⲛⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲟⲟϩ ⲁϥⲣⲥⲛⲟϥ
13 The stars of the sky fell to the earth, like a fig tree dropping its unripe figs when it is shaken by a great wind.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲥⲓⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲡⲉ ⲁⲩϩⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲙⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲃⲱ ⲛⲕⲛⲧⲉ ⲉⲥⲛⲟⲩϫⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲉⲥϭⲱⲱⲃⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲧⲏⲩ ⲕⲓⲙ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ
14 The sky was removed like a scroll when it is rolled up. Every mountain and island was moved out of its place.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲧⲡⲉ ⲁⲥϭⲱⲗ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϫⲱⲱⲙⲉ ⲉϥϭⲏⲗ ⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲓⲛⲏⲥⲟⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲩⲕⲓⲙ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁ
15 The 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.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲣⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲙⲛⲛⲛⲟϭ ⲙⲛⲛⲭⲓⲗⲓⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲙⲛⲛⲣⲙⲙⲁⲟ ⲙⲛⲛϫⲱⲱⲣⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲓⲣⲙϩⲉ ⲁⲩϩⲟⲡⲟⲩ ϩⲛⲛⲉⲥⲡⲩⲗⲁⲓⲟⲛ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲓⲃⲧ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲟⲩⲉⲓⲏ
16 They 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,
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲓⲃⲧ̅ ϫⲉ ϩⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲱⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛϩⲟⲡⲛ ⲙⲡⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲧϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲡⲉⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲧⲟⲣⲅⲏ ⲙⲡⲉϩⲓⲉⲓⲃ
17 for the great day of his wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”
