La Bible du Semeur
Ouverture du premier sceau : le conquérant
6 Puis je vis l’Agneau ouvrir le premier des sept sceaux et j’entendis l’un des quatre êtres vivants dire d’une voix de tonnerre : Viens !
2 Et je vis venir un cheval blanc. Son cavalier[a] était armé d’un arc. Une couronne lui fut donnée, et il partit en vainqueur et pour vaincre.
Ouverture du deuxième sceau : la guerre
3 Quand l’Agneau ouvrit le deuxième sceau, j’entendis le deuxième être vivant dire : Viens ! 4 Un autre cheval sortit : il était rouge feu. Son cavalier reçut le pouvoir de bannir la paix de la terre pour que les hommes s’entretuent, et une grande épée lui fut donnée.
Ouverture du troisième sceau : la famine
5 Quand l’Agneau ouvrit le troisième sceau, j’entendis le troisième être vivant dire : Viens !
Et je vis venir un cheval noir. Son cavalier tenait une balance dans la main. 6 Et j’entendis comme une voix venant du milieu des quatre êtres vivants ; elle disait : Un litre de blé au prix d’une journée de travail[b] et trois litres d’orge pour le même prix. Quant à l’huile et au vin, épargne-les !
Ouverture du quatrième sceau : la mort
7 Quand l’Agneau ouvrit le quatrième sceau, j’entendis la voix du quatrième être vivant dire : Viens !
8 Et je vis venir un cheval blême. Son cavalier s’appelle « La Mort » et il était suivi du séjour des morts. Il leur fut donné le pouvoir sur le quart de la terre de faire périr les hommes par l’épée, la famine, les épidémies et les bêtes féroces.

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)

King James Version
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.
