SMITH VAN DYKENEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 ونظرت لما فتح الخروف واحدا من الختوم السبعة وسمعت واحدا من الاربعة الحيوانات قائلا كصوت رعد هلم وانظر.1 Then I watched while the Lamb broke open the first of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures cry out in a voice like thunder, "Come forward."
2 فنظرت واذا فرس ابيض والجالس عليه معه قوس وقد أعطي اكليلا وخرج غالبا ولكي يغلب2 I looked, and there was a white horse, and its rider had a bow. He was given a crown, and he rode forth victorious to further his victories.
3 ولما فتح الختم الثاني سمعت الحيوان الثاني قائلا هلم وانظر.3 When he broke open the second seal, I heard the second living creature cry out, "Come forward."
4 فخرج فرس آخر احمر وللجالس عليه أعطي ان ينزع السلام من الارض وان يقتل بعضهم بعضا وأعطي سيفا عظيما4 Another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take peace away from the earth, so that people would slaughter one another. And he was given a huge sword.
5 ولما فتح الختم الثالث سمعت الحيوان الثالث قائلا هلم وانظر. فنظرت واذا فرس اسود والجالس عليه معه ميزان في يده.5 When he broke open the third seal, I heard the third living creature cry out, "Come forward." I looked, and there was a black horse, and its rider held a scale in his hand.
6 وسمعت صوتا في وسط الاربعة الحيوانات قائلا ثمنية قمح بدينار وثلاث ثماني شعير بدينار واما الزيت والخمر فلا تضرهما6 I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures. It said, "A ration of wheat costs a day's pay, and three rations of barley cost a day's pay. But do not damage the olive oil or the wine."
7 ولما فتح الختم الرابع سمعت صوت الحيوان الرابع قائلا هلم وانظر.7 When he broke open the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature cry out, "Come forward."
8 فنظرت واذا فرس اخضر والجالس عليه اسمه الموت والهاوية تتبعه واعطيا سلطانا على ربع الارض ان يقتلا بالسيف والجوع والموت وبوحوش الارض8 I looked, and there was a pale green horse. Its rider was named Death, and Hades accompanied him. They were given authority over a quarter of the earth, to kill with sword, famine, and plague, and by means of the beasts of the earth.
9 ولما فتح الختم الخامس رأيت تحت المذبح نفوس الذين قتلوا من اجل كلمة الله ومن اجل الشهادة التي كانت عندهم.9 When he broke open the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been slaughtered because of the witness they bore to the word of God.
10 وصرخوا بصوت عظيم قائلين حتى متى ايها السيد القدوس والحق لا تقضي وتنتقم لدمائنا من الساكنين على الارض.10 They cried out in a loud voice, "How long will it be, holy and true master, before you sit in judgment and avenge our blood on the inhabitants of the earth?"
11 فأعطوا كل واحد ثيابا بيضا وقيل لهم ان يستريحوا زمانا يسيرا ايضا حتى يكمل العبيد رفقاؤهم واخوتهم ايضا العتيدون ان يقتلوا مثلهم11 Each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to be patient a little while longer until the number was filled of their fellow servants and brothers who were going to be killed as they had been.
12 ونظرت لما فتح الختم السادس واذا زلزلة عظيمة حدثت والشمس صارت سوداء كمسح من شعر والقمر صار كالدم12 Then I watched while he broke open the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; the sun turned as black as dark sackcloth and the whole moon became like blood.
13 ونجوم السماء سقطت الى الارض كما تطرح شجرة التين سقاطها اذا هزتها ريح عظيمة13 The stars in the sky fell to the earth like unripe figs shaken loose from the tree in a strong wind.
14 والسماء انفلقت كدرج ملتف وكل جبل وجزيرة تزحزحا من موضعهما.14 Then the sky was divided like a torn scroll curling up, and every mountain and island was moved from its place.
15 وملوك الارض والعظماء والاغنياء والامراء والاقوياء وكل عبد وكل حرّ اخفوا انفسهم في المغاير وفي صخور الجبال15 The kings of the earth, the nobles, the military officers, the rich, the powerful, and every slave and free person hid themselves in caves and among mountain crags.
16 وهم يقولون للجبال والصخور اسقطي علينا واخفينا عن وجه الجالس على العرش وعن غضب الخروف16 They cried out to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of the one who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb,
17 لانه قد جاء يوم غضبه العظيم ومن يستطيع الوقوف17 because the great day of their wrath has come and who can withstand it?"
