羊羔揭開六個印

羊羔揭開了七印的第一個印的時候,我觀看,就聽見四個活物中的一個,發出好像雷轟的聲響,說:“你來!” 我觀看,見有一匹白馬;騎在馬上的拿著弓,有冠冕賜給他,他就出去,得勝並且要再得勝。

羊羔揭開了第二個印的時候,我聽見第二個活物說:“你來!” 就另有一匹紅馬出來,騎在馬上的得了權柄,可以從地上奪去和平,使人互相殘殺,又有一把大刀賜給他。

羊羔揭開了第三個印的時候,我聽見第三個活物說:“你來!”我觀看,見有一匹黑馬;騎在馬上的,手中拿著天平。 我聽見在四個活物中間,仿佛有聲音說:“一公升小麥賣一個銀幣,三公升大麥賣一個銀幣,油和酒也不可糟蹋。”

羊羔揭開了第四個印的時候,我聽見第四個活物的聲音說:“你來!” 我觀看,見有一匹灰馬;騎在馬上的,名字叫作“死”。陰間也跟隨著他。他們得了權柄可以管轄地上的四分之一,又要用刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫和地上的野獸去殺人。

羊羔揭開了第五個印的時候,我看見祭壇底下,有為了 神的道,並且為了自己所作的見證而被殺的人的靈魂。 10 他們大聲喊叫,說:“聖潔真實的主啊!你不審判住在地上的人,給我們伸流血的冤,要到幾時呢?” 11 於是有白袍賜給他們各人,又有話吩咐他們要安息一會兒,等到那些與他們同作僕人和弟兄,像他們一樣將要被殺的人,湊滿了數目的時候。

12 羊羔揭開了第六個印的時候,我觀看,大地震就發生了。太陽變黑,像粗糙的黑毛布;整個月亮變紅,像血一樣; 13 天上的星辰墜落在地上,像無花果樹被大風搖動,落下還沒有成熟的果子。 14 天隱退了,像書被捲起來一樣;山嶺和海島都從原處移去了。 15 地上的君王、大臣、軍長、財主、勇士和所有作奴隸的、自由的,都藏在山洞和巖穴裡。 16 他們向山嶺和巖石說:“倒在我們身上吧!把我們藏起來,躲避坐在寶座上那位的面,和羊羔的震怒! 17 因為他們震怒的大日子來到了,誰能站立得住呢?”

And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.

And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.

And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:

10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

The Seals

I watched as the Lamb(A) opened the first of the seven seals.(B) Then I heard one of the four living creatures(C) say in a voice like thunder,(D) “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a white horse!(E) Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown,(F) and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.(G)

When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature(H) say, “Come!” Then another horse came out, a fiery red one.(I) Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth(J) and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword.

When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature(K) say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse!(L) Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures,(M) saying, “Two pounds[a] of wheat for a day’s wages,[b] and six pounds[c] of barley for a day’s wages,[d](N) and do not damage(O) the oil and the wine!”

When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature(P) say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a pale horse!(Q) Its rider was named Death, and Hades(R) was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.(S)

When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under(T) the altar(U) the souls of those who had been slain(V) because of the word of God(W) and the testimony they had maintained. 10 They called out in a loud voice, “How long,(X) Sovereign Lord,(Y) holy and true,(Z) until you judge the inhabitants of the earth(AA) and avenge our blood?”(AB) 11 Then each of them was given a white robe,(AC) and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters,[e] were killed just as they had been.(AD)

12 I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake.(AE) The sun turned black(AF) like sackcloth(AG) made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, 13 and the stars in the sky fell to earth,(AH) as figs drop from a fig tree(AI) when shaken by a strong wind. 14 The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up,(AJ) and every mountain and island was removed from its place.(AK)

15 Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and everyone else, both slave and free,(AL) hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains.(AM) 16 They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us(AN) and hide us[f] from the face of him who sits on the throne(AO) and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day(AP) of their[g] wrath has come, and who can withstand it?”(AQ)
