启示录 6:1-8
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
羔羊揭开前六印
6 然后,我看见羔羊揭开七印中的第一印,那时我听见四个活物中的一个用如雷的声音说:“来!” 2 我便观看,见有一匹白马,马上的骑士拿着弓,他接受了赏赐给他的冠冕后,便四处征战,战无不胜。
3 羔羊揭开第二印时,我听见第二个活物说:“来!” 4 这次出现了一匹红马,马上的骑士获得权柄和一把大刀,要夺取地上的和平,使人类互相厮杀。
5 揭开第三印的时候,我听见第三个活物说:“来!”我便看见一匹黑马,马上的骑士手里拿着天平。 6 我又听见四个活物中好像有声音说:“一升小麦值一个银币[a],三升大麦也同价,油和酒都不要糟蹋。”
7 羔羊揭开第四印的时候,我听到第四个活物说:“来!” 8 这次我看到一匹浅灰色的马,马上骑士的名字叫死亡,阴府紧跟在他后面。他们得到权力可以用刀剑、饥荒、瘟疫和野兽消灭全人类的四分之一。

The Seals
6 I watched as the Lamb(A) opened the first of the seven seals.(B) Then I heard one of the four living creatures(C) say in a voice like thunder,(D) “Come!” 2 I looked, and there before me was a white horse!(E) Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown,(F) and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.(G)
3 When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature(H) say, “Come!” 4 Then another horse came out, a fiery red one.(I) Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth(J) and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword.
5 When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature(K) say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse!(L) Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. 6 Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures,(M) saying, “Two pounds[a] of wheat for a day’s wages,[b] and six pounds[c] of barley for a day’s wages,[d](N) and do not damage(O) the oil and the wine!”
7 When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature(P) say, “Come!” 8 I looked, and there before me was a pale horse!(Q) Its rider was named Death, and Hades(R) was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.(S)

King James Version
6 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.
2 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.
3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
4 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.
5 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.
6 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.
7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8 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.
