Ouverture des six premiers sceaux
6 Je vis alors l'Agneau ouvrir un des sept sceaux et j'entendis l'un des quatre êtres vivants dire d'une voix de tonnerre: «Viens.» 2 Je regardai et je vis apparaître un cheval blanc. Celui qui le montait avait un arc; une couronne lui fut donnée et il partit en vainqueur et pour remporter la victoire.
3 Quand il ouvrit le deuxième sceau, j'entendis le deuxième être vivant dire: «Viens.» 4 Et un autre cheval, rouge feu, apparut. Celui qui le montait reçut le pouvoir d'enlever la paix de la terre afin que les hommes s’entretuent, et une grande épée lui fut donnée.
5 Quand l’Agneau ouvrit le troisième sceau, j'entendis le troisième être vivant dire: «Viens.» Je regardai et je vis apparaître un cheval noir. Celui qui le montait tenait une balance à la main. 6 Et j'entendis [comme] une voix dire, au milieu des quatre êtres vivants: «Une mesure de blé pour une pièce d’argent et trois mesures d'orge pour une pièce d’argent[a], mais ne touche pas à l'huile et au vin.»
7 Quand il ouvrit le quatrième sceau, j'entendis le quatrième être vivant dire: «Viens.» 8 Je regardai et je vis un cheval verdâtre. Celui qui le montait avait pour nom «la Mort», et le séjour des morts l'accompagnait. Ils reçurent le pouvoir, sur le quart de la terre, de faire mourir les hommes par l'épée, par la famine, par la peste et par les bêtes sauvages de la terre.
9 Quand il ouvrit le cinquième sceau, je vis sous l'autel l’âme de ceux qui avaient été mis à mort à cause de la parole de Dieu et à cause du témoignage qu'ils avaient rendu. 10 Ils crièrent d'une voix forte: «Jusqu'à quand, Maître saint et véritable, tarderas-tu à faire justice et à venger notre sang sur les habitants de la terre?» 11 Une robe blanche fut donnée à chacun d'eux et ils reçurent l’ordre de rester en repos un petit moment encore, jusqu'à ce que le nombre de leurs compagnons de service et de leurs frères et sœurs qui devaient être mis à mort comme eux soit au complet.
12 Je regardai quand l’Agneau ouvrit le sixième sceau, et il y eut un grand tremblement de terre. Le soleil devint noir comme un sac de crin, la lune entière devint comme du sang, 13 et les étoiles du ciel tombèrent sur la terre, comme les figues vertes d'un figuier secoué par un vent violent. 14 Le ciel se retira comme un livre qu'on enroule et toutes les montagnes et les îles furent écartées de leur place. 15 Les rois de la terre, les grands, les chefs militaires, les riches, les puissants, tous les esclaves et les hommes libres se cachèrent dans les cavernes et dans les rochers des montagnes. 16 Et ils disaient aux montagnes et aux rochers: «Tombez sur nous[b] et cachez-nous loin de celui qui est assis sur le trône et loin de la colère de l'Agneau. 17 En effet, le grand jour de sa colère est venu, et qui peut résister?»

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)
9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under(T) the altar(U) the souls of those who had been slain(V) because of the word of God(W) and the testimony they had maintained. 10 They called out in a loud voice, “How long,(X) Sovereign Lord,(Y) holy and true,(Z) until you judge the inhabitants of the earth(AA) and avenge our blood?”(AB) 11 Then each of them was given a white robe,(AC) and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters,[e] were killed just as they had been.(AD)
12 I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake.(AE) The sun turned black(AF) like sackcloth(AG) made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, 13 and the stars in the sky fell to earth,(AH) as figs drop from a fig tree(AI) when shaken by a strong wind. 14 The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up,(AJ) and every mountain and island was removed from its place.(AK)
15 Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and everyone else, both slave and free,(AL) hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains.(AM) 16 They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us(AN) and hide us[f] from the face of him who sits on the throne(AO) and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day(AP) of their[g] wrath has come, and who can withstand it?”(AQ)

6 Then I watched while the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. I heard one of the four living things speak with a voice like thunder. It said, “Come!” 2 I looked and there before me was a white horse. The rider on the horse held a bow, and he was given a crown. And he rode out, defeating the enemy. He rode out to win the victory.
3 The Lamb opened the second seal. Then I heard the second living thing say, “Come!” 4 Then another horse came out. This was a red horse. Its rider was given power to take away peace from the earth. He was given power to make people kill each other. And he was given a big sword.
5 The Lamb opened the third seal. Then I heard the third living thing say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse. Its rider held a pair of scales in his hand. 6 Then I heard something that sounded like a voice. It came from where the four living things were. The voice said, “A quart of wheat for a day’s pay. And three quarts of barley for a day’s pay. And do not damage the olive oil and wine!”
7 The Lamb opened the fourth seal. Then I heard the voice of the fourth living thing say, “Come!” 8 I looked, and there before me was a pale horse. Its rider was named death. Hades[a] was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth. They were given power to kill people by war, by starving them, by disease, and by the wild animals of the earth.
9 The Lamb opened the fifth seal. Then I saw some souls under the altar. They were the souls of those who had been killed because they were faithful to God’s message and to the truth they had received. 10 These souls shouted in a loud voice, “Holy and true Lord, how long until you judge the people of the earth and punish them for killing us?” 11 Then each one of these souls was given a white robe. They were told to wait a short time longer. There were still some of their brothers in the service of Christ who must be killed as they were. They were told to wait until all of this killing was finished.
12 Then I watched while the Lamb opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun became black like rough black cloth. The full moon became red like blood. 13 The stars in the sky fell to the earth like figs falling from a fig tree when the wind blows. 14 The sky disappeared. It was rolled up like a scroll. And every mountain and island was moved from its place.
15 Then all people hid in caves and behind the rocks on the mountains. There were the kings of the earth, the rulers, the generals, the rich people and the powerful people. Everyone, slave and free, hid himself. 16 They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us. Hide us from the face of the One who sits on the throne. Hide us from the anger of the Lamb! 17 The great day for their anger has come. Who can stand against it?”

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.
9 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?
