Apocalipse 6
O Livro
O Cordeiro quebra os selos
6 Vi então o Cordeiro quebrar o primeiro dos sete selos. E um dos quatro seres viventes gritou com uma voz de trovão: “Põe-te a caminho!” 2 Olhei e vi um cavalo branco. Aquele que o montava tinha um arco e puseram-lhe uma coroa e partiu vitorioso, para mais vitórias.
3 Depois o Cordeiro quebrou o segundo selo e ouvi o segundo ser vivente dizer: “Vem!” 4 Desta vez surgiu um cavalo vermelho e ao seu cavaleiro foi-lhe dada uma espada e autoridade para tirar a paz da Terra, de forma a que os homens se matassem uns aos outros.
5 E quando o Cordeiro quebrou o terceiro selo ouvi a mesma ordem dada pelo terceiro ser vivente: “Vem!” E vi um cavalo preto montado por alguém que segurava uma balança na sua mão. 6 Uma voz saindo do grupo dos quatro seres viventes disse: “Um quilo de trigo, ou três quilos de cevada, pelo salário de um dia; e há que não desperdiçar nem azeite nem vinho!”
7 E quando o Cordeiro quebrou o quarto selo, de novo a ordem foi dada, desta vez pelo quarto ser vivente: “Vem!” 8 E saiu um cavalo amarelo e quem o montava chamava-se Morte e era seguido de perto pelo inferno. E receberam o domínio sobre a quarta parte da Terra, a fim de matar com a guerra, fome, pestes, e por meio de animais ferozes.
9 E quando o Cordeiro quebrou o quinto selo vi um altar debaixo do qual estavam todas as almas dos que foram martirizados por anunciarem a palavra de Deus e por causa do testemunho que deram. 10 E clamavam em alta voz ao Senhor dizendo: “Ó soberano Senhor, santo e verdadeiro, até quando ficarão por julgar os habitantes da Terra por aquilo que nos fizeram e pelo sangue que derramámos por causa deles?” 11 E foi dada uma túnica branca a cada um deles. E foi-lhes dito que tivessem paciência ainda durante mais um pouco de tempo, até que se completasse o número dos seus irmãos e companheiros no serviço de Deus, que deviam sofrer também o martírio na Terra.
12 E na altura de quebrar o sexto selo houve um grande terramoto. O Sol ficou tão escuro como um pano preto e a Lua tornou-se da cor do sangue. 13 As estrelas do céu caíram sobre a Terra; eram como uma figueira, batida por um forte vento, que deixasse cair os seus figos ainda verdes. 14 E o céu desapareceu como um rolo que se enrola e as montanhas e as ilhas deslocaram-se. 15 Então os reis das nações, os grandes políticos, os grandes chefes militares, os de grande poder e todos os escravos e livres, se escondiam nas cavernas e nas rochas das montanhas. 16 E gritavam às montanhas e aos rochedos: “Caiam sobre nós! Escondam-nos daquele que está sentado no trono e da cólera do Cordeiro. 17 Porque chegou o dia de ele fazer justiça com rigor. E quem poderá resistir e ficar vivo diante dele?”

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?”
