1 羊羔揭开了七印的第一个印的时候, 我观看, 就听见四个活物中的一个, 发出好像雷轰的声响, 说: "你来! " 2 我观看, 见有一匹白马; 骑在马上的拿着弓, 有冠冕赐给他, 他就出去, 得胜并且要再得胜。 3 羊羔揭开了第二个印的时候, 我听见第二个活物说: "你来! " 4 就另有一匹红马出来, 骑在马上的得了权柄, 可以从地上夺去和平, 使人互相残杀, 又有一把大刀赐给他。 5 羊羔揭开了第三个印的时候, 我听见第三个活物说: "你来! "我观看, 见有一匹黑马; 骑在马上的, 手中拿着天平。 6 我听见在四个活物中间, 仿佛有声音说: "一公升小麦卖一个银币, 三公升大麦卖一个银币, 油和酒也不可糟蹋。" 7 羊羔揭开了第四个印的时候, 我听见第四个活物的声音说: "你来! " 8 我观看, 见有一匹灰马; 骑在马上的, 名字叫作"死"。阴间也跟随着他。他们得了权柄可以管辖地上的四分之一, 又要用刀剑、饥荒、瘟疫和地上的野兽去杀人。 9 羊羔揭开了第五个印的时候, 我看见祭坛底下, 有为了 神的道, 并且为了自己所作的见证而被杀的人的灵魂。 10 他们大声喊叫, 说: "圣洁真实的主啊! 你不审判住在地上的人, 给我们伸流血的冤, 要到几时呢?" 11 于是有白袍赐给他们各人, 又有话吩咐他们要安息一会儿, 等到那些与他们同作仆人和弟兄, 像他们一样将要被杀的人, 凑满了数目的时候。 12 羊羔揭开了第六个印的时候, 我观看, 大地震就发生了。太阳变黑, 像粗糙的黑毛布; 整个月亮变红, 像血一样; 13 天上的星辰坠落在地上, 像无花果树被大风摇动, 落下还没有成熟的果子。 14 天隐退了, 像书被卷起来一样; 山岭和海岛都从原处移去了。 15 地上的君王、大臣、军长、财主、勇士和所有作奴隶的、自由的, 都藏在山洞和岩穴里。 16 他们向山岭和岩石说: "倒在我们身上吧! 把我们藏起来, 躲避坐在宝座上那位的面, 和羊羔的震怒! 17 因为他们震怒的大日子来到了, 谁能站立得住呢?"
1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as it were a voice of thunder, `Come and behold!`2 and I saw, and lo, a white horse, and he who is sitting upon it is having a bow, and there was given to him a crown, and he went forth overcoming, and that he may overcome.3 And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, `Come and behold!`4 and there went forth another horse -- red, and to him who is sitting upon it, there was given to him to take the peace from the land, and that one another they may slay, and there was given to him a great sword.5 And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, `Come and behold!` and I saw, and lo, a black horse, and he who is sitting upon it is having a balance in his hand,6 and I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, `A measure of wheat for a denary, and three measures of barley for a denary,` and `The oil and the wine thou mayest not injure.`7 And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, `Come and behold!`8 and I saw, and lo, a pale horse, and he who is sitting upon him -- his name is Death, and Hades doth follow with him, and there was given to them authority to kill, (over the fourth part of the land,) with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and by the beasts of the land.9 And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those slain because of the word of God, and because of the testimony that they held,10 and they were crying with a great voice, saying, `Till when, O Master, the Holy and the True, dost Thou not judge and take vengeance of our blood from those dwelling upon the land?`11 and there was given to each one white robes, and it was said to them that they may rest themselves yet a little time, till may be fulfilled also their fellow-servants and their brethren, who are about to be killed -- even as they.12 And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and lo, a great earthquake came, and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood,13 and the stars of the heaven fell to the earth -- as a fig-tree doth cast her winter figs, by a great wind being shaken --14 and heaven departed as a scroll rolled up, and every mountain and island -- out of their places they were moved;15 and the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich, and the chiefs of thousands, and the mighty, and every servant, and every freeman, hid themselves in the dens, and in the rocks of the mountains,16 and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, `Fall upon us, and hide us from the face of Him who is sitting upon the throne, and from the anger of the Lamb,`17 because come did the great day of His anger, and who is able to stand?
