Apocalipsis 6
Dios Habla Hoy

Los cuatro primeros sellos

6 Luego vi cuando el Cordero rompía el primero de los siete sellos, y oí que uno de aquellos cuatro seres vivientes decía con voz que parecía un trueno: «¡Ven!» 2 Miré, y vi un caballo blanco, y el que lo montaba llevaba un arco en la mano. Se le dio una corona, y salió triunfante y para triunfar.

3 Cuando el Cordero rompió el segundo sello, oí que el segundo de los seres vivientes decía: «¡Ven!» 4 Y salió otro caballo. Era de color rojo, y el que lo montaba recibió poder para quitar la paz del mundo y para hacer que los hombres se mataran unos a otros; y se le dio una gran espada.

5 Cuando el Cordero rompió el tercer sello, oí que el tercero de los seres vivientes decía: «¡Ven!» Miré, y vi un caballo negro, y el que lo montaba tenía una balanza en la mano. 6 Y en medio de los cuatro seres vivientes oí una voz que decía: «Solamente un kilo de trigo por el salario de un día, y tres kilos de cebada por el salario de un día; pero no eches a perder el aceite ni el vino.»

7 Cuando el Cordero rompió el cuarto sello, oí que el cuarto de los seres vivientes decía: «¡Ven!» 8 Miré, y vi un caballo amarillento, y el que lo montaba se llamaba Muerte. Tras él venía el que representaba al reino de la muerte, y se les dio poder sobre la cuarta parte del mundo, para matar con guerras, con hambres, con enfermedades y con las fieras de la tierra.

El quinto y el sexto sellos

9 Cuando el Cordero rompió el quinto sello, vi debajo del altar a los que habían sido degollados por haber proclamado el mensaje de Dios y haber sido fieles a su testimonio. 10 Decían con fuerte voz: «Soberano santo y fiel, ¿cuándo juzgarás a los habitantes de la tierra y vengarás nuestra muerte?» 11 Entonces se les dieron ropas blancas, y se les dijo que descansaran aún por un poco de tiempo, hasta que se completara el número de sus hermanos que, en el servicio a Dios, tenían que ser muertos como ellos.

12 Cuando el Cordero rompió el sexto sello, miré, y hubo un gran terremoto. El sol se volvió negro, como ropa de luto; toda la luna se volvió roja, como la sangre, 13 y las estrellas cayeron del cielo a la tierra, como caen los higos verdes de la higuera cuando ésta es sacudida por un fuerte viento. 14 El cielo desapareció como un papel que se enrolla, y todas las montañas y las islas fueron removidas de su lugar. 15 Y los reyes del mundo se escondieron en las cuevas y entre las rocas de las montañas, junto con los grandes, los jefes militares, los ricos, los poderosos y todos los esclavos y los hombres libres; 16 y decían a las montañas y a las rocas: «¡Caigan sobre nosotros y escóndannos de la presencia del que está sentado en el trono, y de la ira del Cordero! 17 Porque ha llegado ya el gran día del castigo, ¿y quién podrá resistir?»

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)

First Seal: The Conqueror

6 Now (A)I saw when the Lamb opened one of the [a]seals; and I heard (B)one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, “Come and see.” 2 And I looked, and behold, (C)a white horse. (D)He who sat on it had a bow; (E)and a crown was given to him, and he went out (F)conquering and to conquer.

Second Seal: Conflict on Earth

3 When He opened the second seal, (G)I heard the second living creature saying, “Come [b]and see.” 4 (H)Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to (I)take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.

Third Seal: Scarcity on Earth

5 When He opened the third seal, (J)I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.” So I looked, and behold, (K)a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of (L)scales[c] in his hand. 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A [d]quart of wheat for a [e]denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and (M)do not harm the oil and the wine.”

Fourth Seal: Widespread Death on Earth

7 When He opened the fourth seal, (N)I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see.” 8 (O)So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And [f]power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, (P)to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, (Q)and by the beasts of the earth.

Fifth Seal: The Cry of the Martyrs

9 When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under (R)the altar (S)the souls of those who had been slain (T)for the word of God and for (U)the testimony which they held. 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, (V)“How long, O Lord, (W)holy and true, (X)until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” 11 Then a (Y)white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them (Z)that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.

Sixth Seal: Cosmic Disturbances

12 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, (AA)and [g]behold, there was a great earthquake; and (AB)the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the [h]moon became like blood. 13 (AC)And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. 14 (AD)Then the sky [i]receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and (AE)every mountain and island was moved out of its place. 15 And the (AF)kings of the earth, the great men, [j]the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, (AG)hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, 16 (AH)and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who (AI)sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day of His wrath has come, (AJ)and who is able to stand?”
