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?

1 Observei quando o Cordeiro abriu o primeiro dos sete selos. Então ouvi um dos seres viventes dizer com voz de trovão: "Venha! "

2 Olhei, e diante de mim estava um cavalo branco! Seu cavaleiro empunhava um arco, e foi-lhe dada uma coroa; ele cavalgava como vencedor determinado a vencer.

3 Quando o Cordeiro abriu o segundo selo, ouvi o segundo ser vivente dizer: "Venha! "

4 Então saiu outro cavalo; e este era vermelho. Seu cavaleiro recebeu poder para tirar a paz da terra e fazer que os homens se matassem uns aos outros. E lhe foi dada uma grande espada.

5 Quando o Cordeiro abriu o terceiro selo, ouvi o terceiro ser vivente dizer: "Venha! " Olhei, e diante de mim estava um cavalo preto. Seu cavaleiro tinha na mão uma balança.

6 Então ouvi o que parecia uma voz entre os quatro seres viventes, dizendo: "Um quilo de trigo por um denário, e três quilos de cevada por um denário, e não danifique o azeite e o vinho! "

7 Quando o Cordeiro abriu o quarto selo, ouvi a voz do quarto ser vivente dizer: "Venha! "

8 Olhei, e diante de mim estava um cavalo amarelo. Seu cavaleiro chamava-se Morte, e o Hades o seguia de perto. Foi-lhes dado poder sobre um quarto da terra para matar pela espada, pela fome, por pragas e por meio dos animais selvagens da terra.

9 Quando ele abriu o quinto selo, vi debaixo do altar as almas daqueles que haviam sido mortos por causa da palavra de Deus e do testemunho que deram.

10 Eles clamavam em alta voz: "Até quando, ó Soberano santo e verdadeiro, esperarás para julgar os habitantes da terra e vingar o nosso sangue? "

11 Então cada um deles recebeu uma veste branca, e foi-lhes dito que esperassem um pouco mais, até que se completasse o número dos seus conservos e irmãos, que deveriam ser mortos como eles.

12 Observei quando ele abriu o sexto selo. Houve um grande terremoto. O sol ficou escuro como tecido de crina negra, toda a lua tornou-se vermelha como sangue,

13 e as estrelas do céu caíram sobre a terra como figos verdes caem da figueira quando sacudidos por um vento forte.

14 O céu foi se recolhendo como se enrola um pergaminho, e todas as montanhas e ilhas foram removidas de seus lugares.

15 Então os reis da terra, os príncipes, os generais, os ricos, os poderosos — todos os homens, quer escravos, quer livres, esconderam-se em cavernas e entre as rochas das montanhas.

16 Eles gritavam às montanhas e às rochas: "Caiam sobre nós e escondam-nos da face daquele que está assentado no trono e da ira do Cordeiro!

17 Pois chegou o grande dia da ira deles; e quem poderá suportar? "
