启示录 6:1-8
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
羔羊揭开前六印
6 然后,我看见羔羊揭开七印中的第一印,那时我听见四个活物中的一个用如雷的声音说:“来!” 2 我便观看,见有一匹白马,马上的骑士拿着弓,他接受了赏赐给他的冠冕后,便四处征战,战无不胜。
3 羔羊揭开第二印时,我听见第二个活物说:“来!” 4 这次出现了一匹红马,马上的骑士获得权柄和一把大刀,要夺取地上的和平,使人类互相厮杀。
5 揭开第三印的时候,我听见第三个活物说:“来!”我便看见一匹黑马,马上的骑士手里拿着天平。 6 我又听见四个活物中好像有声音说:“一升小麦值一个银币[a],三升大麦也同价,油和酒都不要糟蹋。”
7 羔羊揭开第四印的时候,我听到第四个活物说:“来!” 8 这次我看到一匹浅灰色的马,马上骑士的名字叫死亡,阴府紧跟在他后面。他们得到权力可以用刀剑、饥荒、瘟疫和野兽消灭全人类的四分之一。
9 羔羊揭开第五印的时候,我看到一个祭坛,祭坛下有许多灵魂,都是为传扬上帝的道、为祂做见证而被杀的。 10 他们大声喊着说:“圣洁真实的主宰啊,还要等多久呢?为什么你还不审判地上那些屠杀我们的人,为我们申冤呢?” 11 这时有白袍赐给他们,有声音告诉他们要再稍候片刻,直到和他们同做奴仆的弟兄被杀害的数目满了为止。
12 羔羊揭开第六印的时候,我看见大地震发生了,太阳变得像黑毛布一样黑,整个月亮变成血红色, 13 天上的星辰都坠落,好像未成熟的无花果被狂风吹落一般。 14 天空也像书卷被卷起来,所有的山岭和海岛都被挪离原位。 15 地上的君王、显贵、将领、富豪、有势力的、一切奴隶和自由人都躲藏在山洞里和岩穴间。 16 他们哀求群山和岩石,说:“倒下来遮盖我们,将我们藏起来吧!我们不敢面对宝座上的那位和羔羊的烈怒啊! 17 因为祂们发烈怒的大日子到了,谁能站得住呢?”
为上帝的仆人盖印
7 这些事情之后,我看见四位天使分别站在地的四个角落控制着四面的风,使风不再吹向地面、海洋和树木。 2 我又看见一位天使从东方日出之地上来,手里拿着永活上帝的印。他对那领受权柄能伤害地和海的四位天使大声说: 3 “我们还没在上帝的奴仆额上盖印之前,你们不可伤害地、海和树木。” 4 我听见以色列各支派中盖了印的共有十四万四千人: 5 犹大支派有一万二千,吕便支派有一万二千,迦得支派有一万二千, 6 亚设支派有一万二千,拿弗他利支派有一万二千,玛拿西支派有一万二千, 7 西缅支派有一万二千,利未支派有一万二千,以萨迦支派有一万二千, 8 西布伦支派有一万二千,约瑟支派有一万二千,便雅悯支派有一万二千。
劫后余生的上帝子民
9 后来我又看见一大群人,多得不可胜数。他们来自各国家、各部落、各民族、各语言族群,身穿白袍,手拿棕树枝,站在宝座和羔羊面前, 10 大声呼喊说:“救恩来自我们坐在宝座上的上帝,也来自羔羊!” 11 众天使都站在宝座、众长老和四个活物的周围,在宝座前俯伏敬拜上帝,说: 12 “阿们!愿颂赞、荣耀、智慧、感谢、尊贵、权柄、能力都归给我们的上帝,直到永永远远。阿们!”
13 长老中有一位问我:“这些身穿白袍的人是谁?他们从哪里来?”
14 我回答说:“先生,你知道答案。”
他便说:“这些都是经过大灾难的人,他们用羔羊的血将衣裳洗得纯净洁白。 15 因此,他们在宝座前,在圣殿中不分昼夜地事奉上帝。坐在宝座上的那位要庇护他们。 16 他们不会再受饥饿和干渴的折磨,也不会再受太阳和酷热的煎熬, 17 因为在宝座中央的羔羊要做他们的牧人,引导他们到生命之泉那里,上帝要擦干他们所有的眼泪。”
揭开第七印
8 羔羊揭开第七印时,天上寂静无声,约半小时。

Revelation 6:1-8
New International Version
The Seals
6 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!” 2 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)
3 When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature(H) say, “Come!” 4 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.
5 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. 6 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!”
7 When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature(P) say, “Come!” 8 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)
9 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)
144,000 Sealed
7 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners(AR) of the earth, holding back the four winds(AS) of the earth to prevent(AT) any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree. 2 Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal(AU) of the living God.(AV) He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea:(AW) 3 “Do not harm(AX) the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads(AY) of the servants of our God.” 4 Then I heard the number(AZ) of those who were sealed: 144,000(BA) from all the tribes of Israel.
5 From the tribe of Judah 12,000 were sealed,
from the tribe of Reuben 12,000,
from the tribe of Gad 12,000,
6 from the tribe of Asher 12,000,
from the tribe of Naphtali 12,000,
from the tribe of Manasseh 12,000,
7 from the tribe of Simeon 12,000,
from the tribe of Levi 12,000,
from the tribe of Issachar 12,000,
8 from the tribe of Zebulun 12,000,
from the tribe of Joseph 12,000,
from the tribe of Benjamin 12,000.
The Great Multitude in White Robes
9 After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language,(BB) standing before the throne(BC) and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes(BD) and were holding palm branches in their hands. 10 And they cried out in a loud voice:
11 All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders(BG) and the four living creatures.(BH) They fell down on their faces(BI) before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying:
“Amen!
Praise and glory
and wisdom and thanks and honor
and power and strength
be to our God for ever and ever.
Amen!”(BJ)
13 Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes(BK)—who are they, and where did they come from?”
14 I answered, “Sir, you know.”
And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes(BL) and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.(BM) 15 Therefore,
“they are before the throne of God(BN)
and serve him(BO) day and night in his temple;(BP)
and he who sits on the throne(BQ)
will shelter them with his presence.(BR)
16 ‘Never again will they hunger;
never again will they thirst.(BS)
The sun will not beat down on them,’[h]
nor any scorching heat.(BT)
17 For the Lamb at the center of the throne
will be their shepherd;(BU)
‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’[i](BV)
‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’[j]”(BW)
The Seventh Seal and the Golden Censer
8 When he opened the seventh seal,(BX) there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
