And I saw that the Lamb had opened one of the seven seals. And I heard one of the four living creatures saying, in a voice like thunder: “Draw near and see.”
2 ⲃ̅ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲥⲟⲩϩⲧⲟ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲃϣ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲡⲓ̈ⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲧⲁⲗⲏⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲗⲟⲙ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉϥϫⲣⲁⲉⲓⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϫⲣⲟ
And I saw, and behold, a white horse. And he who was sitting upon it was holding a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he went forth conquering, so that he might prevail.
And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying: “Draw near and see.”
4 ⲇ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓⲟⲩϩⲧⲟ ⲉϥⲧⲣⲉϣⲣⲱϣ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲧⲧⲁⲗⲏⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥϥⲓ ⲛϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓϫⲙⲡⲕⲁϩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉϩⲱⲧⲃ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲉⲣⲏⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲥⲏϥⲉ
And another horse went forth, which was red. And it was granted to him who was sitting upon it that he would take peace from the earth, and that they would kill one another. And a great sword was given to him.
5 ⲉ̅ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲙⲉϩϣⲟⲙⲧⲉ ⲛⲥⲫⲣⲁⲅⲓⲥ ⲁⲓⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲡⲙⲉϩϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲛⲍⲱⲟⲛ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲥⲟⲩϩⲧⲟ ⲛⲕⲁⲙⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲧⲧⲁⲗⲏⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩⲙⲁϣⲉ ϩⲛⲧⲉϥϭⲓϫ
And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying: “Draw near and see.” And behold, a black horse. And he who was sitting upon it was holding a balance in his hand.
6 ⲋ̅ ⲁⲓⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲩⲥⲙⲏ ⲛⲧⲙⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲍⲱⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩϭⲁⲡⲓϫⲉ ⲛⲥⲟⲩⲟ ϩⲁⲟⲩⲥⲁⲧⲉⲉⲣⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ϣⲟⲙⲧⲉ ⲛϭⲁⲡⲓϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲓⲱⲧ ϩⲁⲟⲩⲥⲁⲧⲉⲉⲣⲉ ⲡⲛⲉϩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲙⲛⲡⲏⲣⲡ ⲙⲡⲣⲧⲁⲕⲟⲟⲩ
And I heard something like a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A double measure of wheat for a denarius, and three double measures of barley for a denarius, but do no harm to wine and oil.”
And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying: “Draw near and see.”
8 ⲏ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ 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)
And behold, a pale horse. And he who was sitting upon it, his name was Death, and Hell was following him. And authority was given to him over the four parts of the earth, to destroy by the sword, by famine, and by death, and by the creatures of the earth. (Hadēs g86)
9 ⲑ̅ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲙⲉϩϯⲉ ⲛⲥⲫⲣⲁⲅⲓⲥ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲁⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲯⲩⲭⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲛⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲩϩⲟⲧⲃⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥ
And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw, under the altar, the souls of those who had been slain because of the Word of God and because of the testimony that they held.
10 ⲓ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲁϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲥⲙⲏ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϣⲁⲛⲧⲉⲟⲩ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲙⲙⲉ ⲉⲛⲅⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲅϫⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲕⲃⲁ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲏⲏϩ ϩⲓϫⲙⲡⲕⲁϩ
And they were crying out with a loud voice, saying: “How long, O Holy and True Lord, will you not judge and not vindicate our blood against those who dwell upon the earth?”
11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲃϣ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲕⲉⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ϣⲁⲛⲧⲟⲩϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓⲛⲉⲩⲕⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲛⲉⲩϣⲃⲏⲣϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲁⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧⲟⲩ ϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲉⲩϩⲉ
And white robes were given to each of them. And they were told that they should rest for a brief time, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who were to be slain even as they were slain, would be completed.
12 ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲛⲧⲙⲉϩⲥⲟⲉ ⲛⲥⲫⲣⲁⲅⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲕⲧⲟ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲡⲣⲏ ⲁϥϭⲙⲟⲙ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϭⲟⲟⲩⲛⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲟⲟϩ ⲁϥⲣⲥⲛⲟϥ
And when he had opened the sixth seal, I saw, and behold, a great earthquake occurred. And the sun became black, like a haircloth sack, and the entire moon became like blood.
And the stars from heaven fell upon the earth, just as when a fig tree, shaken by a great wind, drops its immature figs.
And heaven receded, like a scroll being rolled up. And every mountain, and the islands, were moved from their places.
15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲣⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲙⲛⲛⲛⲟϭ ⲙⲛⲛⲭⲓⲗⲓⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲙⲛⲛⲣⲙⲙⲁⲟ ⲙⲛⲛϫⲱⲱⲣⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲓⲣⲙϩⲉ ⲁⲩϩⲟⲡⲟⲩ ϩⲛⲛⲉⲥⲡⲩⲗⲁⲓⲟⲛ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲓⲃⲧ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲟⲩⲉⲓⲏ
And the kings of the earth, and the rulers, and the military leaders, and the wealthy, and the strong, and everyone, servant and free, hid themselves in caves and among the rocks of the mountains.
16 ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲓⲃⲧ̅ ϫⲉ ϩⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲱⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛϩⲟⲡⲛ ⲙⲡⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲧϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲡⲉⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲧⲟⲣⲅⲏ ⲙⲡⲉϩⲓⲉⲓⲃ
And they said to the mountains and the rocks: “Fall over us and hide us from the face of the One sitting upon the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb.
For the great day of their wrath has arrived. And who will be able to stand?”
