Het Lam maakt de eerste zes zegels los
6 Ik zag dat het Lam één van de zeven zegels losmaakte. En ik hoorde één van de vier wezens met een stem als een donderslag zeggen: "Kom!" 2 En ik zag een wit paard komen. De ruiter op het paard had een boog. Hij kreeg een kroon en trok er op uit als een overwinnaar op weg naar de volgende overwinning.
3 Toen Hij het tweede zegel losmaakte, hoorde ik het tweede wezen roepen: "Kom!" 4 En er kwam een tweede paard, dat rood was. De ruiter op het paard kreeg de macht om de vrede van de aarde weg te halen, zodat de mensen elkaar zouden doden. Hij kreeg daarvoor een groot zwaard.
5 Toen Hij het derde zegel losmaakte, hoorde ik het derde wezen roepen: "Kom!" En ik zag een zwart paard komen. De ruiter op dat paard had een weegschaal in zijn hand. 6 En een stem die van tussen de vier wezens leek te komen, zei: "Eén maatbeker tarwe kost een dagloon en drie maatbekers gerst kosten een dagloon.[a] Maar blijf van de olijf-olie en de wijn af."
7 Toen Hij het vierde zegel losmaakte, hoorde ik het vierde wezen roepen: "Kom!" 8 En ik zag een grauw paard komen. De ruiter op dat paard heette 'Dood', en het dodenrijk kwam achter hem aan. Ze kregen de macht over een vierde deel van de mensen op aarde, om van hen te doden door oorlog, honger, ziekte en wilde dieren.
9 Toen Hij het vijfde zegel losmaakte, zag ik onder het altaar de zielen van de mensen die waren gedood[b] omdat ze het woord van God hadden geloofd en omdat ze andere mensen van Jezus hadden verteld. 10 Ze riepen luid: "Heilige en trouwe Heerser, hoelang duurt het nog voordat U de mensen op de aarde straft voor onze dood?" 11 Ze kregen allemaal lange witte kleren aan. En er werd tegen hen gezegd dat ze nog even geduld moesten hebben. Eerst moest hun aantal nog worden aangevuld met de gelovigen die net als zij vermoord zouden worden omdat ze het woord van God geloofden.
12 Toen Hij het zesde zegel losmaakte, kwam er een zware aardbeving. En de zon werd zwart en de maan werd als bloed. 13 De sterren van de hemel vielen op de aarde, net zoals in de winter de onrijpe vijgen[c] van de boom vallen als het stormt. 14 De hemel verdween, zoals een boekrol die wordt opgerold. Alle bergen en eilanden werden van hun plaats gerukt. 15 Alle mensen op aarde probeerden zich in de bergen te verbergen in de holen en tussen de rotsen: koningen, heersers, legeraanvoerders, rijke mensen, machtige mensen, slaven, vrije mensen. 16 En ze riepen tegen de bergen en de rotsen: "Val op ons! Verberg ons, zodat Hij die op de troon zit ons niet zal zien! Verberg ons voor de straf van het Lam! 17 Want de grote dag van zijn straf is gekomen en wie kan die overleven?"

The Seals of the Scroll Are Broken
6 I watched as the Lamb broke open the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice that sounded like thunder, “Come!” 2 I looked, and there in front of me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow in his hands. He was given a crown. He rode out like a hero on his way to victory.
3 The Lamb broke open the second seal. Then I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” 4 Another horse came out. It was red like fire. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth. He was given power to make people kill each other. He was given a large sword.
5 The Lamb broke open the third seal. Then I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there in front of me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. 6 Next, I heard what sounded like a voice coming from among the four living creatures. It said, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s pay. And six pounds of barley for a day’s pay. And leave the olive oil and the wine alone!”
7 The Lamb broke open the fourth seal. Then I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” 8 I looked, and there in front of me was a pale horse! Its rider’s name was Death. Following close behind him was Hell. They were given power over a fourth of the earth. They were given power to kill people by swords. They could also use hunger, sickness and the earth’s wild animals to kill.
9 The Lamb broke open the fifth seal. I saw souls under the altar. They were the souls of people who had been killed. They had been killed because of God’s word and their faithful witness. 10 They called out in a loud voice. “How long, Lord and King, holy and true?” they asked. “How long will you wait to judge those who live on the earth? How long will it be until you pay them back for killing us?” 11 Then each of them was given a white robe. “Wait a little longer,” they were told. “There are still more of your believing brothers and sisters who will be killed. They will be killed just as you were.”
12 I watched as the Lamb broke open the sixth seal. There was a powerful earthquake. The sun turned black like the clothes people wear when they’re sad. Those clothes are made out of goat’s hair. The whole moon turned as red as blood. 13 The stars in the sky fell to earth. They dropped like figs from a tree shaken by a strong wind. 14 The sky rolled back like a scroll. Every mountain and island was moved out of its place.
15 Everyone hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. This included the kings of the earth, the princes and the generals. It included rich people and powerful people. It also included everyone else, both slaves and people who were free. 16 They called out to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us! Hide us from the face of the one who sits on the throne! Hide us from the anger of the Lamb! 17 The great day of their anger has come. Who can live through it?”

6 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.
2 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.
3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
4 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.
5 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.
6 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.
7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8 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.
9 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?
