1 ونظرت لما فتح الخروف واحدا من الختوم السبعة وسمعت واحدا من الاربعة الحيوانات قائلا كصوت رعد هلم وانظر.2 فنظرت واذا فرس ابيض والجالس عليه معه قوس وقد أعطي اكليلا وخرج غالبا ولكي يغلب3 ولما فتح الختم الثاني سمعت الحيوان الثاني قائلا هلم وانظر.4 فخرج فرس آخر احمر وللجالس عليه أعطي ان ينزع السلام من الارض وان يقتل بعضهم بعضا وأعطي سيفا عظيما5 ولما فتح الختم الثالث سمعت الحيوان الثالث قائلا هلم وانظر. فنظرت واذا فرس اسود والجالس عليه معه ميزان في يده.6 وسمعت صوتا في وسط الاربعة الحيوانات قائلا ثمنية قمح بدينار وثلاث ثماني شعير بدينار واما الزيت والخمر فلا تضرهما7 ولما فتح الختم الرابع سمعت صوت الحيوان الرابع قائلا هلم وانظر.8 فنظرت واذا فرس اخضر والجالس عليه اسمه الموت والهاوية تتبعه واعطيا سلطانا على ربع الارض ان يقتلا بالسيف والجوع والموت وبوحوش الارض9 ولما فتح الختم الخامس رأيت تحت المذبح نفوس الذين قتلوا من اجل كلمة الله ومن اجل الشهادة التي كانت عندهم.10 وصرخوا بصوت عظيم قائلين حتى متى ايها السيد القدوس والحق لا تقضي وتنتقم لدمائنا من الساكنين على الارض.11 فأعطوا كل واحد ثيابا بيضا وقيل لهم ان يستريحوا زمانا يسيرا ايضا حتى يكمل العبيد رفقاؤهم واخوتهم ايضا العتيدون ان يقتلوا مثلهم12 ونظرت لما فتح الختم السادس واذا زلزلة عظيمة حدثت والشمس صارت سوداء كمسح من شعر والقمر صار كالدم13 ونجوم السماء سقطت الى الارض كما تطرح شجرة التين سقاطها اذا هزتها ريح عظيمة14 والسماء انفلقت كدرج ملتف وكل جبل وجزيرة تزحزحا من موضعهما.15 وملوك الارض والعظماء والاغنياء والامراء والاقوياء وكل عبد وكل حرّ اخفوا انفسهم في المغاير وفي صخور الجبال16 وهم يقولون للجبال والصخور اسقطي علينا واخفينا عن وجه الجالس على العرش وعن غضب الخروف17 لانه قد جاء يوم غضبه العظيم ومن يستطيع الوقوف

1 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 to 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 to 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 see 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 middle of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see you 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 to 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, do you not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?11 And white robes were given to every one of them; and it was said to them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brothers, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, see, 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 to the earth, even as a fig tree casts 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 slave, 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 sits 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?
