< Revelation 6 >

1 I saw when 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."
ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉϩⲓⲉⲓⲃ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲓ ⲛⲛⲉⲥⲫⲣⲁⲅⲓⲥ ⲁⲓⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲍⲱⲟⲛ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲙⲏ ⲛϩⲣⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲉ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲙⲟⲩ
2 And I looked, and suddenly there was a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he came forth conquering, and to conquer.
ⲃ̅ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲥ ⲟⲩϩⲧⲟ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲃϣ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲡⲓⲧⲉ 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 forth, a fiery 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 ⲛϭⲓ ⲟⲩϩⲧⲟ ⲉϥⲧⲣⲉϣⲣⲱϣ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲧⲧⲁⲗⲏⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥϥⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓϫⲙ ⲡⲕⲁϩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉϩⲱⲧⲃ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲉⲣⲏⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲥⲏϥⲉ
5 When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, "Come." And I looked, and suddenly there was 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 ⲉⲓⲥ ⲟⲩϩⲧⲟ ⲛⲕⲁⲙⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲧⲧⲁⲗⲏⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲟⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲁϣⲉ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉϥϭⲓϫ
6 I heard something like a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A choenix of wheat for a denura, and three choenixes of barley for a denura. Do not damage the oil and the wine."
ⲋ̅ⲁⲓⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲩⲥⲙⲏ ⲛⲧⲙⲏⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲍⲱⲟⲛ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩϭⲁⲡⲓϫⲉ ⲛⲥⲟⲩⲟ ϩⲁ ⲟⲩⲥⲁⲧⲉⲉⲣⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ϣⲟⲙⲧⲉ ⲛϭⲁⲡⲓϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲓⲱⲧ ϩⲁ ⲟⲩⲥⲁⲧⲉⲉⲣⲉ ⲡⲛⲉϩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲏⲣⲡ ⲙⲡⲣⲧⲁⲕⲟⲟⲩ
7 When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living creature saying, "Come."
ⲍ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲙⲉϩϥⲧⲟⲉ ⲛⲥⲫⲣⲁⲅⲓⲥ ⲁⲓⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲥⲙⲏ ⲙⲡⲙⲉϩϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲍⲱⲟⲛ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲙⲟⲩ
8 And I looked, and suddenly there was a pale horse, and he who sat on it had the name Death. Sheyul 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 ⲉⲓⲥ ⲟⲩϩⲧⲟ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲉⲧⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲧⲧⲁⲗⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲉⲁⲙⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲏϩ ⲛⲥⲱϥ ⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉϫⲙ ⲡⲟⲩⲛ ϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲉⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧⲟⲩ ϩⲛ ⲧⲥⲏϥⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲡϩⲉⲃⲱⲛ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲙⲡⲕⲁϩ (Hadēs g86)
9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of people who had been killed for the Word of God, and for the testimony which they had.
ⲑ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲙⲉϩϯⲉ ⲛⲥⲫⲣⲁⲅⲓⲥ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲁⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲯⲩⲭⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲩϩⲟⲧⲃⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥ
10 They called out 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 ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲥⲙⲏ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϣⲁⲛⲧⲉⲟⲩ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲙⲙⲉ ⲛⲅⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲅϫⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲕⲃⲁ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲏϩ ϩⲓϫⲙ ⲡⲕⲁϩ
11 A long white robe was given to each of them. They were told that they should rest yet for a little longer, 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 ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉⲩⲕⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ 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 ⲛⲧⲙⲉϩⲥⲟ ⲛⲥⲫⲣⲁⲅⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲕⲙⲧⲟ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲡⲣⲏ ⲁϥⲕⲙⲟⲙ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϭⲟⲟⲩⲛⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲟⲟϩ ⲁϥⲣ ⲥⲛⲟϥ
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 ⲉϫⲙ ⲡⲕⲁϩ 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 were moved out of their places.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲧⲡⲉ ⲁⲥϭⲱⲗ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϫⲱⲱⲙⲉ ⲉϥϭⲏⲗ ⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲓ ⲛⲏⲥⲟⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲩⲕⲓⲙ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁ
15 The kings of the earth and the great ones and the commanding officers and the rich and the strong, and every slave and free person, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲣⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲛⲟϭ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲭⲓⲗⲓⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲣⲙⲙⲁⲟ ⲙⲛ ⲛϫⲱⲱⲣⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲓ ⲣⲙϩⲉ ⲁⲩϩⲟⲡⲟⲩ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲥⲡⲏⲗⲁⲓⲟⲛ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲥⲓⲃⲧ ⲛⲛⲧⲟⲩⲉⲓⲏ
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 ⲛⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲥⲓⲃⲧ ϫⲉ ϩⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲱⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛϩⲟⲡⲛ ⲙⲡⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲧϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ϩⲓ ⲡⲉⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲟⲣⲅⲏ ⲙⲡⲉϩⲓⲉⲓⲃ
17 for the great day of their wrath has come; and who is able to stand?"
