1 Vi quando o Cordeiro abriu um dos sete selos e ouvi um dos quatro seres viventes dizendo, como se fosse voz de trovão: Vem! 2 Vi, então, e eis um cavalo branco e o seu cavaleiro com um arco; e foi-lhe dada uma coroa; e ele saiu vencendo e para vencer.

3 Quando abriu o segundo selo, ouvi o segundo ser vivente dizendo: Vem! 4 E saiu outro cavalo, vermelho; e ao seu cavaleiro, foi-lhe dado tirar a paz da terra para que os homens se matassem uns aos outros; também lhe foi dada uma grande espada.

5 Quando abriu o terceiro selo, ouvi o terceiro ser vivente dizendo: Vem! Então, vi, e eis um cavalo preto e o seu cavaleiro com uma balança na mão. 6 E ouvi uma como que voz no meio dos quatro seres viventes dizendo: Uma medida de trigo por um denário; três medidas de cevada por um denário; e não danifiques o azeite e o vinho.

7 Quando o Cordeiro abriu o quarto selo, ouvi a voz do quarto ser vivente dizendo: Vem! 8 E olhei, e eis um cavalo amarelo e o seu cavaleiro, sendo este chamado Morte; e o Inferno o estava seguindo, e foi-lhes dada autoridade sobre a quarta parte da terra para matar à espada, pela fome, com a mortandade e por meio das feras da terra.

9 Quando ele abriu o quinto selo, vi, debaixo do altar, as almas daqueles que tinham sido mortos por causa da palavra de Deus e por causa do testemunho que sustentavam. 10 Clamaram em grande voz, dizendo: Até quando, ó Soberano Senhor, santo e verdadeiro, não julgas, nem vingas o nosso sangue dos que habitam sobre a terra? 11 Então, a cada um deles foi dada uma vestidura branca, e lhes disseram que repousassem ainda por pouco tempo, até que também se completasse o número dos seus conservos e seus irmãos que iam ser mortos como igualmente eles foram.

12 Vi quando o Cordeiro abriu o sexto selo, e sobreveio grande terremoto. O sol se tornou negro como saco de crina, a lua toda, como sangue, 13 as estrelas do céu caíram pela terra, como a figueira, quando abalada por vento forte, deixa cair os seus figos verdes, 14 e o céu recolheu-se como um pergaminho quando se enrola. Então, todos os montes e ilhas foram movidos do seu lugar. 15 Os reis da terra, os grandes, os comandantes, os ricos, os poderosos e todo escravo e todo livre se esconderam nas cavernas e nos penhascos dos montes 16 e disseram aos montes e aos rochedos: Caí sobre nós e escondei-nos da face daquele que se assenta no trono e da ira do Cordeiro, 17 porque chegou o grande Dia da ira deles; e quem é que pode suster-se?

1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, Come. 2 And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon had a bow; and there was given unto him a crown: and he came forth conquering, and to conquer.

3 And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, Come. 4 And another horse came forth, a red horse: and to him that sat thereon it was given to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

5 And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, Come. And I saw, and behold, a black horse; and he that sat thereon had a balance in his hand. 6 And I heard as it were a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, A measure of wheat for a shilling, and three measures of barley for a shilling; and the oil and the wine hurt thou not.

7 And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, Come. 8 And I saw, and behold, a pale horse: and he that sat upon him, his name was Death; and Hades followed with him. And there was given unto them authority over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with famine, and with death, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

9 And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of them that had been slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 10 and they cried with a great voice, saying, How long, O Master, the holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? 11 And there was given them to each one a white robe; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little time, until their fellow-servants also and their brethren, who should be killed even as they were, should have fulfilled their course.

12 And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the whole moon became as blood; 13 and the stars of the heaven fell unto the earth, as a fig tree casteth her unripe figs when she is shaken of a great wind. 14 And the heaven was removed as a scroll when it is rolled up; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15 And the kings of the earth, and the princes, and the chief captains, and the rich, and the strong, and every bondman and freeman, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains; 16 and they say to the mountains and to the 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 their wrath is come; and who is able to stand?

1 I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, "Come!"

2 I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.

3 When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!"

4 Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth 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 say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse! 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, saying, "Two pounds "of wheat for a day's wages, "and six pounds "of barley for a day's wages, "and do not damage the oil and the wine!"

7 When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!"

8 I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades 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.

9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained.

10 They called out in a loud voice, "How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?"

11 Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters, "were killed just as they had been.

12 I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red,

13 and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind.

14 The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.

15 Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and everyone else, both slave and free, hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains.

16 They called to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us "from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!

17 For the great day of their "wrath has come, and who can withstand it?"
