< Revelation 6 >

1 I saw that [Jesus, the one who is like a] lamb, opened the first of the seven seals [of the scroll]. Then I heard one of the four living [creatures] say in a voice [as loud] as [SIM] thunder, “Come!”
و دیدم چون بره یکی از آن هفت مهر راگشود؛ و شنیدم یکی از آن چهار حیوان به صدایی مثل رعد می‌گوید: «بیا (و ببین )!»۱
2 Then I saw a white horse [come out]. The one who sat on it had a bow [and arrows]. [God] gave him a crown [to show that he was the king]. Then the one who conquers [people] went out to continue to conquer [people].
ودیدم که ناگاه اسبی سفید که سوارش کمانی داردو تاجی بدو داده شد و بیرون آمد، غلبه کننده و تاغلبه نماید.۲
3 When the [one who was like a] lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living [creature] say, “Come!”
و چون مهر دوم را گشود، حیوان دوم راشنیدم که می‌گوید: «بیا (و ببین )!»۳
4 Then a red horse came out. The one sitting on it was allowed {[God] allowed the one sitting on it} to cause [people] to no longer [live] peacefully, but instead to be killing each other. [For this purpose] he was given {[God’s agent] gave to him} a large sword.
و اسبی دیگر، آتشگون بیرون آمد و سوارش را توانایی داده شده بود که سلامتی را از زمین بردارد و تا یکدیگررا بکشند؛ و به وی شمشیری بزرگ داده شد.۴
5 When [the one who is like a] lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living [creature] say, “Come!” This time, I saw a black horse [come out]. The one who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand.
و چون مهر سوم را گشود، حیوان سوم راشنیدم که می‌گوید: «بیا (و ببین )!» و دیدم اینک اسبی سیاه که سوارش ترازویی بدست خود دارد.۵
6 I heard a voice [that sounded] like [it was coming from] among the four living [creatures]. It was saying ([to the horseman/to the man who was sitting on the black horse]), “A quart of wheat [will cost so much that] a man must work a whole day to earn enough money to buy it, and three quarts of barley will sell for the same price. But do not cut off [the supply of] olive oil or the wine [MTY]!”
و از میان چهار حیوان، آوازی را شنیدم که می‌گوید: «یک هشت یک گندم به یک دینار و سه هشت یک جو به یک دینار و به روغن و شراب ضرر مرسان.»۶
7 When the [one who is like a] lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living [creature] say, “Come!”
و چون مهر‌چهارم را گشود، حیوان چهارم را شنیدم که می‌گوید: «بیا (و ببین )!»۷
8 This time I saw a pale horse [come out]. The one who sat on it is named ‘[The one who causes] death [PRS]’, and [the one that is named ‘The place where dead people go’] accompanied him. [God] gave them authority over one quarter of the people on earth to incite them to kill each other with weapons [SYN], and also authority to kill them (by [causing them to] starve, by [their causing them to become] sick from epidemics, and by [their causing them to be attacked by] wild animals. (Hadēs g86)
و دیدم که اینک اسبی زرد و کسی بر آن سوار شده که اسم اوموت است و عالم اموات از عقب او می‌آید؛ و به آن دو اختیار بر یک ربع زمین داده شد تا به شمشیر و قحط و موت و با وحوش زمین بکشند. (Hadēs g86)۸
9 When the [one who is like a] lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under (OR, at the base of) the altar [in heaven] the souls of [God’s servants] who had been killed {whom [people had] killed} because of [their believing] God’s message, and because they told others [the message about Jesus].
و چون مهر پنجم را گشود، در زیر مذبح دیدم نفوس آنانی را که برای کلام خدا و شهادتی که داشتند کشته شده بودند؛۹
10 They spoke loudly [to God] saying, “Sovereign/Almighty Lord, you are holy and faithful. How long [will it be] before you judge [and punish] the people on earth who murdered [us(exc)]?”
که به آواز بلندصدا کرده، می‌گفتند: «ای خداوند قدوس و حق، تا به کی انصاف نمی نمایی و انتقام خون ما را ازساکنان زمین نمی کشی؟»۱۰
11 [God] gave to each of them a long white robe, and [he] told them to rest a little longer until [people] killed all the believers who served [the Lord] with them. They were believers whom [God wanted to die in just the same way] that these others had been killed.
و به هر یکی از ایشان جامه‌ای سفید داده شد و به ایشان گفته شد که اندکی دیگر آرامی نمایند تا عدد همقطاران که مثل ایشان کشته خواهند شد، تمام شود.۱۱
12 I saw that when [the one who is like a] lamb opened the sixth seal, the earth shook violently. The sun became as black as cloth made (of [black] wool/of pitch). The whole moon became [red] [SIM] like blood.
و چون مهر ششم را گشود، دیدم که زلزله‌ای عظیم واقع شد و آفتاب چون پلاس پشمی سیاه گردید و تمام ماه چون خون گشت؛۱۲
13 The stars fell to the earth [in great numbers], just [SIM] like immature figs fall when a fig tree is shaken by a strong wind {when a strong wind shakes a fig tree}.
و ستارگان آسمان بر زمین فرو ریختند، مانند درخت انجیری که از باد سخت به حرکت آمده، میوه های نارس خود را می‌افشاند.۱۳
14 The sky split open and [rolled up on either side] just [SIM] like an [old] scroll rolls up [when it is split in two]. Every mountain and island moved out of its place.
و آسمان چون طوماری پیچیده شده، از جا برده شد و هرکوه و جزیره از مکان خود منتقل گشت.۱۴
15 [As a result, all the rebellious people] of the earth, [including] kings, high-ranking people, generals, the rich people, the powerful people, along with everyone [else], both slave and free, hid themselves in caves and between the mountain rocks.
وپادشاهان زمین و بزرگان و سپه سالاران ودولتمندان و جباران و هر غلام و آزاد خود را درمغاره‌ها و صخره های کوهها پنهان کردند.۱۵
16 They shouted to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us [(exc)] and hide us [(exc)] in order that the one who sits upon the throne will not be able to see us [(exc)] [MTY], and [in order that] the [one who is like a] lamb will not be able to punish [MTY] us [(exc)].
و به کوهها و صخره‌ها می‌گویند که «بر ما بیفتید و ما رامخفی سازید از روی آن تخت‌نشین و از غضب بره؛۱۶
17 This is the terrible day on which they will punish [MTY] us [(exc)], and [when that happens], no one will be able to survive! [RHQ]”
زیرا روز عظیم غضب او رسیده است وکیست که می‌تواند ایستاد؟»۱۷
