1 E, havendo o Cordeiro aberto um dos selos, olhei, e ouvi um dos quatro animais, que dizia como em voz de trovão: Vem, e vê.

2 E olhei, e eis um cavalo branco; e o que estava assentado sobre ele tinha um arco; e foi-lhe dada uma coroa, e saiu vitorioso, e para vencer.

3 E, havendo aberto o segundo selo, ouvi o segundo animal, dizendo: Vem, e vê.

4 E saiu outro cavalo, vermelho; e ao que estava assentado sobre ele foi dado que tirasse a paz da terra, e que se matassem uns aos outros; e foi-lhe dada uma grande espada.

5 E, havendo aberto o terceiro selo, ouvi dizer o terceiro animal: Vem, e vê. E olhei, e eis um cavalo preto e o que sobre ele estava assentado tinha uma balança em sua mão.

6 E ouvi uma voz no meio dos quatro animais, que dizia: Uma medida de trigo por um dinheiro, e três medidas de cevada por um dinheiro; e não danifiques o azeite e o vinho.

7 E, havendo aberto o quarto selo, ouvi a voz do quarto animal, que dizia: Vem, e vê.

8 E olhei, e eis um cavalo amarelo, e o que estava assentado sobre ele tinha por nome Morte; e o inferno o seguia; e foi-lhes dado poder para matar a quarta parte da terra, com espada, e com fome, e com peste, e com as feras da terra.

9 E, havendo aberto o quinto selo, vi debaixo do altar as almas dos que foram mortos por amor da palavra de Deus e por amor do testemunho que deram.

10 E clamavam com grande voz, dizendo: Até quando, ó verdadeiro e santo Dominador, não julgas e vingas o nosso sangue dos que habitam sobre a terra?

11 E foram dadas a cada um compridas vestes brancas e foi-lhes dito que repousassem ainda um pouco de tempo, até que também se completasse o número de seus conservos e seus irmãos, que haviam de ser mortos como eles foram.

12 E, havendo aberto o sexto selo, olhei, e eis que houve um grande tremor de terra; e o sol tornou-se negro como saco de cilício, e a lua tornou-se como sangue;

13 E as estrelas do céu caíram sobre a terra, como quando a figueira lança de si os seus figos verdes, abalada por um vento forte.

14 E o céu retirou-se como um livro que se enrola; e todos os montes e ilhas foram removidos dos seus lugares.

15 E os reis da terra, e os grandes, e os ricos, e os tribunos, e os poderosos, e todo o servo, e todo o livre, se esconderam nas cavernas e nas rochas das montanhas;

16 E diziam aos montes e aos rochedos: Caí sobre nós, e escondei-nos do rosto daquele que está assentado sobre o trono, e da ira do Cordeiro;

17 Porque é vindo o grande dia da sua ira; e quem poderá subsistir?

1 And I saw when the Lamb undid one of the stamps, and the voice of one of the four beasts came to my ears, saying as with a voice of thunder, Come and see.

2 And I saw a white horse, and he who was seated on it had a bow; and there was given to him a crown: and he went out with power to overcome.

3 And when the second stamp was undone, the voice of the second beast came to my ears, saying, Come and see.

4 And another horse came out, a red horse; and it was given to him who was seated on it to take peace from the earth, so that people might put one another to death: and there was given to him a great sword.

5 And when the third stamp was undone, the voice of the third beast came to my ears, saying, Come and see. And I saw a black horse; and he who was seated on it had scales in his hand.

6 And a voice came to my ears, from the middle of the four beasts, saying, A measure of grain for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny: and see that you do no damage to the oil and the wine.

7 And when the fourth stamp was undone, the voice of the fourth beast came to my ears, saying, Come and see.

8 And I saw a grey horse, and the name of him who was seated on it was Death; and Hell came after him. And there was given to them authority over the fourth part of the earth, to put to destruction by the sword, and by taking away their food, and by death, and by the beasts of the earth.

9 And when the fifth stamp was undone, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been put to death for the word of God, and for the witness which they kept.

10 And they gave a great cry, saying, How long will it be, O Ruler, holy and true, before you take your place as judge and give punishment for our blood to those on the earth?

11 And there was given to every one a white robe, and they were ordered to take their rest for a little time, till the number was complete of the other servants, their brothers, who would be put to death, even as they had been.

12 And I saw when the sixth stamp was undone, and there was a great earth-shock; and the sun became black as haircloth, and all the moon became as blood;

13 And the stars of heaven were falling to the earth, like green fruit from a tree before the force of a great wind.

14 And the heaven was taken away like the roll of a book when it is rolled up; and all the mountains and islands were moved out of their places.

15 And the kings of the earth, and the rulers, and the chief captains, and the men of wealth, and the strong, and every servant and free man, took cover in the holes and the rocks of the mountains;

16 And they say to the mountains and to the rocks, Come down on us, covering us from the face of him who is seated on the high seat, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

17 For the great day of their wrath is come, and who may keep his place?
