羔羊起封开卷

我看到羔羊打开七个封印的第一个封印,同时,听到四个生物中的一个用好似雷鸣般的声音说∶“过来!” 我看到面前有一匹白马,骑手手执弓箭。他被赐予一顶皇冠,然后,他骑出去,去赢得胜利。

当羔羊打开第二个封印时,我听到第二个生物说道∶“过来!” 一匹红似火的马出现了,骑手被赐予从地球上带走和平,并使人类互相残杀的权力,他得到了一把巨剑。

羔羊打开第三个封印时,我听到第三个生物喊道∶“过来。”然后,我看见一匹黑马站在我的面前。骑手拿着一个天平。 我听到仿佛是从四个生物中发出的一个声音说∶“一天的工钱能买一升小麦,一天的工钱能买三升大麦。不要糟蹋橄榄油和酒!”

当羔羊打开第四个封印时,我听见第四个生物说道∶“过来!” 我看见面前有一匹灰白色的马,骑手名叫“死亡”(希腊文“死亡”意思也为“瘟疫”,在这一节的后部分也是如此。)地狱紧跟其后,它们被赋予权力,统治地球的四分之一,并用战争、饥荒、瘟疫和地上的野兽去杀人。

羔羊打开了第五个封印,这时,我看见祭坛下有许多人的灵魂,因为这些人对上帝信息的忠诚和坚持证言而遭杀害。 10 他们齐声呼喊∶“神圣、真实的主啊,要等到什么时候,你才审判地上的人,为我们所流的血伸冤呢?” 11 每个灵魂都得到一件白袍。他们被告知再等一等,要等到他们的同事和兄弟,也像他们一样被杀为止。

12 我看到羔羊打开第六个封印,此时,发生了一场大地震。太阳变得漆黑一团,像葬布,整个月亮像血一样鲜红。 13 星星从天上坠落到地,仿佛像未成熟的无花果被暴风吹落。 14 天空劈裂像书卷一样卷了起来,群山和海岛都被移动,离开了原地。

15 地上的帝王、将相、有钱有势的人和所有的奴隶和自由人,都躲进了山洞和岩石之间。 16 他们对山说∶“砸在我们身上吧,让我们躲过坐在宝座上的他的出现和来自羔羊的愤怒吧。 17 他们发怒的日子已经来临了,谁能幸免于它呢?”

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.

And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.

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 unto him a great sword.

And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.

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 unto 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.

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, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, 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 unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth 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 bondman, 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 sitteth 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?
