1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as a voice of thunder, Come and see. 2 And I saw: and behold, a white horse, and he that sat upon it having a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went forth conquering and that he might conquer.

3 And when it opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, Come and see. 4 And another, a red horse, went forth; and to him that sat upon it, to him it was given to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another; and there was given to him a great sword. 5 And when it opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, Come and see. And I saw: and behold, a black horse, and he that sat upon it having a balance in his hand. 6 And I heard as a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three choenixes of barley for a denarius: and do not injure the oil and the wine. 7 And when it opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, Come and see. 8 And I saw: and behold, a pale horse, and he that sat upon it, his name was Death, and hades followed with him; and authority was given to him over the fourth of the earth to slay with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and by the beasts of the earth.

9 And when it 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 loud voice, saying, How long, O sovereign Ruler, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell upon the earth? 11 And there was given to them, to each one a white robe; and it was said to them that they should rest yet a little while, until both their fellow-bondmen and their brethren, who were about to be killed as they, should be fulfilled. 12 And I saw when it opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as hair sackcloth, and the whole moon became as blood, 13 and the stars of heaven fell upon the earth, as a fig tree, shaken by a great wind, casts its unseasonable figs. 14 And the heaven was removed as a book rolled up, and every mountain and island were removed out of their places. 15 And the kings of the earth, and the great, and the chiliarchs, 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 have us hidden from the face of him that sits upon the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb; 17 because the great day of his wrath is come, and who is able to stand?

1 Ma nägin, kuidas Tall avas esimese seitsmest pitserist ja kuulsin, kuidas üks neljast olevusest hüüdis otsekui kõuehäälel: „Tule!" 2 Ja ma vaatasin: ennäe, valge hobune. Selle seljas istujal oli käes amb ning talle anti pärg ja ta läks välja võitjana võitma.

3 Ja kui ta avas teise pitseri, kuulsin ma teist olevust hüüdvat: „Tule!" 4 Siis tuli välja hobune, kes oli tulipunane, ning tema seljas istujale anti võim võtta maa pealt rahu, et inimesed üksteist tapaksid, ja talle anti suur mõõk.

5 Ja kui ta avas kolmanda pitseri, kuulsin ma kolmandat olevust hüüdvat: „Tule!" Ja ma vaatasin: ennäe, must hobune, ja selle seljas istujal olid käes kaalud. 6 Ma kuulsin nelja olevuse keskelt otsekui häält, mis ütles: „Üks kilogramm nisu teenari*6:6 Üks teenar oli töölise keskmine päevapalk. eest ja kolm kilogrammi otri teenari eest. Kuid õlile ja veinile ära tee kahju!"

7 Ja kui ta avas neljanda pitseri, kuulsin ma neljanda olevuse häält hüüdvat: „Tule!" 8 Ja ma vaatasin: ennäe, tuhkur hobune, ja selle seljas istuja nimi oli Surm. Tema järel tuli Surmavald ning neile anti meelevald neljandikul maakeral tappa mõõgaga, näljaga ja katkuga ning maa metsloomadega.

9 Ja kui ta avas viienda pitseri, nägin ma altari all nende hingi, kes olid tapetud Jumala sõna ja tunnistuse pärast, milles nad olid püsinud. 10 Nad hüüdsid valjusti: „Kui kaua veel, püha ja tõeline Valitseja, enne kui sa mõistad kohut ja tasud kätte ilmamaa inimestele meie vere eest?" 11 Ja neile igaühele anti selga valge rüü ja neile öeldi, et nad puhkaksid veel pisut aega, kuni saab täis nende kaassulaste ja vendade hulk, kes tapetakse nagu nemadki.

12 Kui ta avas kuuenda pitseri, nägin ma, et sündis võimas maavärin. Päike muutus mustaks nagu karune kotiriie ja kuu muutus otsekui vereks. 13 Taevatähed kukkusid maa peale, nõnda nagu viigipuu pillab maha oma küpsemata marjad, kui tugev tuul seda raputab. 14 Ja taevas taandus otsekui rullraamat, mis keeratakse kokku, ja kõik mäed ja saared nihkusid oma kohalt.

15 Kogu maailma kuningad, suurnikud ja väejuhid, rikkad ja vägevad, kõik orjad ja vabad peitsid end koobastesse ja mägedesse kaljude vahele. 16 „Langege meie peale," ütlesid nad mägedele ja kaljudele, „ning peitke meid troonil istuja palge ja Talle viha eest, 17 sest nende suur vihapäev on käes, kes võib jääda püsima?"
