The Seven Seals
6 Then I looked when the (A)Lamb opened one of the (B)seven seals, and I heard one of the (C)four living creatures saying as with a (D)voice of thunder, “[a]Come.” 2 Then I looked, and behold, a (E)white horse, and he who sits on it had a bow; and (F)a crown was given to him, and he went out (G)overcoming and to overcome.
3 And when He opened the second seal, I heard the (H)second living creature saying, “Come.” 4 And another, (I)a red horse, went out; and to him who sits on it, it was given to him to (J)take peace from the earth, and that men would slay one another; and a great sword was given to him.
5 And when He opened the third seal, I heard the (K)third living creature saying, “Come.” Then I looked, and behold, a (L)black horse; and he who sits on it had a (M)pair of scales in his hand. 6 And I heard something like a voice in the midst of the (N)four living creatures saying, “One [b]choinix of wheat for one [c]denarius, and three [d]choinix of barley for one [e]denarius, and (O)do not harm the oil and the wine.”
7 And when He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the (P)fourth living creature saying, “Come.” 8 Then I looked, and behold, a (Q)pale horse; and he who sits on it had the name (R)Death, and (S)Hades was following with him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, (T)to kill with sword and with famine and with [f]pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth.
9 And when He opened the fifth seal, I saw (U)underneath the (V)altar the (W)souls of those who had been slain (X)because of the word of God, and because of the (Y)witness which they had maintained; 10 and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, “(Z)How long, O (AA)Master, (AB)holy and true? [g]Will You not (AC)judge and avenge our blood on (AD)those who dwell on the earth?” 11 And (AE)a white robe was given to each of them; and it was told to them that they should (AF)rest for a little while longer, (AG)until the number of their fellow slaves and their brothers who were to be killed even as they had been, would be (AH)completed also.
12 Then I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and there was a great (AI)earthquake; and the (AJ)sun became black as (AK)sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood; 13 and (AL)the stars of the sky fell to the earth, (AM)as a fig tree casts its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind. 14 (AN)And the sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up, and (AO)every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15 Then (AP)the kings of the earth and the great men and the [h]commanders and the rich and the strong and every slave and free man (AQ)hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains; 16 and they *(AR)said to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the [i]presence of Him (AS)who sits on the throne, and from the [j](AT)wrath of the Lamb, 17 for (AU)the great (AV)day of their [k]wrath has come, and (AW)who is able to stand?”

Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
羔羊起封开卷
6 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！” 2 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。
3 当羔羊打开第二个封印时，我听到第二个生物说道∶“过来！” 4 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。
5 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。 6 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！”
7 当羔羊打开第四个封印时，我听见第四个生物说道∶“过来！” 8 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。
9 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？”

The Lamb Opens the First Six Seals
6 I watched as the lamb opened the first of the seven seals. I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder, “Go!” 2 Then I looked, and there was a white horse, and its rider had a bow. He was given a crown and rode off as a warrior to win battles.
3 When the lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Go!” 4 A second horse went out. It was fiery red. Its rider was given the power to take peace away from the earth and to make people slaughter one another. So he was given a large sword.
5 When the lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Go!” I looked, and there was a black horse, and its rider held a scale. 6 I heard what sounded like a voice from among the four living creatures, saying, “A quart of wheat for a day’s pay or three quarts of barley for a day’s pay. But do not damage the olive oil and the wine.”
7 When the lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Go!” 8 I looked, and there was a pale horse, and its rider’s name was Death. Hell followed him. They were given power over one-fourth of the earth to kill people using wars, famines, plagues, and the wild animals on the earth.
9 When the lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slaughtered because of God’s word and the testimony they had given about him. 10 They cried out in a loud voice, “Holy and true Master, how long before you judge and take revenge on those living on earth who shed our blood?” 11 Each of the souls was given a white robe. They were told to rest a little longer until all their coworkers, the other Christians, would be killed as they had been killed.
12 I watched as the lamb opened the sixth seal. A powerful earthquake struck. The sun turned as black as sackcloth made of hair. The full moon turned as red as blood. 13 The stars fell from the sky to the earth like figs dropping from a fig tree when it is shaken by a strong wind. 14 The sky vanished like a scroll being rolled up. Every mountain and island was moved from its place. 15 Then the kings of the earth, the important people, the generals, the rich, the powerful, and all the slaves and free people hid themselves in caves and among the rocks in the mountains. 16 They said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us, and hide us from the face of the one who sits on the throne and from the anger of the lamb, 17 because the frightening day of their anger has come, and who is able to endure it?”
