At nakita ko nang buksan ng Cordero ang isa sa pitong tatak, at narinig ko sa isa sa apat na nilalang na buhay, na nagsalitang gaya ng tunog ng kulog, Halika.

At tumingin ako, at narito, ang isang kabayong maputi, at yaong nakasakay dito ay may isang busog; at binigyan siya ng isang putong: at siya'y yumaong nagtatagumpay, at upang magtagumpay.

At nang buksan niya ang ikalawang tatak, ay narinig ko sa ikalawang nilalang na buhay, na sinasabi, Halika.

At may lumabas na ibang kabayo, na kabayong mapula: at ang nakasakay dito, ay pinagkaloobang magalis sa lupa ng kapayapaan, at upang mangagpatayan ang isa't isa: at binigyan siya ng isang malaking tabak.

At nang buksan niya ang ikatlong tatak, ay narinig ko sa ikatlong nilalang na buhay, na nagsasabi, Halika. At tumingin ako, at narito, ang isang kabayong maitim; at yaong nakasakay dito ay may isang timbangan sa kaniyang kamay.

At narinig ko ang gaya ng isang tinig sa gitna ng apat na nilalang na buhay na nagsasabi, Sa isang denario ay isang takal na trigo, at sa isang denario ay tatlong takal na sebada; at huwag mong ipahamak ang langis at ang alak.

At nang buksan niya ang ikaapat na tatak, ay narinig ko ang tinig ng ikaapat na nilalang na buhay na nagsasabi, Halika.

At tumingin ako, at narito, ang isang kabayong maputla: at ang nakasakay dito ay may pangalang Kamatayan; at ang Hades ay sumusunod sa kaniya. At sila'y pinagkalooban ng kapamahalaan sa ikaapat na bahagi ng lupa, na pumatay sa pamamagitan ng tabak, at ng gutom, at ng salot, at ng mga ganid na hayop sa lupa.

At nang buksan niya ang ikalimang tatak, ay nakita ko sa ilalim ng dambana ang mga kaluluwa ng mga pinatay dahil sa salita ng Dios, at dahil sa patotoong sumakanila:

10 At sila'y sumigaw ng tinig na malakas, na nagsasabi, Hanggang kailan, Oh Panginoong banal at totoo, hindi mo hahatulan at ipaghihiganti ang aming dugo, sa mga nananahan sa ibabaw ng lupa?

11 At binigyan ang bawa't isa sa kanila ng isang maputing balabal; at sa kanila'y sinabi, na mangagpahinga pa ng kaunting panahon, hanggang sa maganap ang bilang ng kanilang mga kapuwa alipin at ng kanilang mga kapatid, na mga papatayin namang gaya nila.

12 At nakita ko nang buksan niya ang ikaanim na tatak, at nagkaroon ng malakas na lindol; at ang araw ay umitim na gaya ng isang magaspang na kayong buhok na maitim, at ang buong buwan ay naging gaya ng dugo;

13 At ang mga bituin sa langit ay nangahulog sa lupa, gaya ng puno ng igos na isinasambulat ang kaniyang mga bungang bubot pagka hinahampas ng malakas na hangin.

14 At ang langit ay nahawi na gaya ng isang lulong aklat kung nalululon; at ang bawa't bundok at pulo ay naalis sa kanilang kinatatayuan.

15 At ang mga hari sa lupa, at ang mga prinsipe, at ang mga pangulong kapitan, at ang mayayaman, at ang mga makapangyarihan, at ang bawa't alipin at ang bawa't laya, ay nagsipagtago sa mga yungib at sa mga bato sa mga bundok;

16 At sinasabi nila sa mga bundok at sa mga bato, Mahulog kayo sa amin, at kami'y inyong itago sa mukha noong nakaupo sa luklukan, at sa galit ng Cordero:

17 Sapagka't dumating na ang dakilang araw ng kanilang kagalitan; at sino ang makatatayo?

At nakita kong binuksan ng Kordero ang isa sa pitong tatak, at narinig ko ang isa sa apat na buháy na nilalang na nagsasalita na parang dagundong ng kulog, “Halika!” Tumingin ako, at (A) naroon ang isang puting kabayo. Ang nakasakay doon ay may hawak na pana; binigyan siya ng korona, at lumabas siyang nagwawagi sa laban at magwawagi pa.

Nang buksan ng Kordero ang ikalawang tatak, narinig ko ang ikalawang nilalang na nagsasabi, “Halika!” At isang (B) pulang kabayo ang lumitaw, ang nakasakay doon ay pinahintulutang alisin ang kapayapaan sa daigdig, nang sa gayon ay magpatayan ang mga tao, at siya ay binigyan ng malaking tabak.

(C) Nang buksan ng Kordero ang ikatlong tatak, narinig ko ang ikatlong buháy na nilalang na nagsasabi, “Halika!” Tumingin ako at naroon ang isang itim na kabayo, ang nakasakay doon ay may hawak na timbangan. At narinig ko ang parang isang tinig sa gitna ng apat na buháy na nilalang na nagsasabi, “Isang takal na trigo para sa isang denaryo,[a] at tatlong takal na sebada, subalit huwag mong pinsalain ang langis at ang alak!”

At nang buksan niya ang ikaapat na tatak, narinig ko ang tinig ng ikaapat na buháy na nilalang na nagsasabi, “Halika!” Tumingin ako at (D) naroon ang isang maputlang kabayo, ang nakasakay doon ay may pangalang Kamatayan at ang Hades ay sumusunod sa kanya. Binigyan sila ng kapangyarihan sa ikaapat na bahagi ng daigdig upang pumatay sa pamamagitan ng tabak, taggutom, salot, at mababangis na hayop sa daigdig.

At nang buksan ng Kordero ang ikalimang tatak, nakita ko sa ilalim ng dambana ang mga kaluluwa ng mga pinaslang dahil sa salita ng Diyos at dahil sa patotoong pinanindigan nila. 10 Sumigaw sila nang malakas na nagsasabi, “Dakilang Panginoong banal at totoo, kailan mo pa ba hahatulan ang mga naninirahan sa daigdig at ipaghihiganti ang aming dugong dumanak?” 11 Ang bawat isa sa kanila ay binigyan ng mahabang puting kasuotan at sila'y sinabihang magpahinga ng kaunti pang panahon, hanggang ang bilang ng mga kapwa nila alipin at kapatid ay mabuo; na ang mga ito'y papatayin ding tulad nila.

12 (E) Nang buksan ng Kordero ang ikaanim na tatak, tumingin ako, at nagkaroon ng malakas na lindol, naging itim ang araw na tulad ng damit-panluksa, at naging parang dugo ang buwang kabilugan; 13 (F) at ang mga bituin sa langit ay nahulog sa lupa tulad ng puno ng igos na naglalaglag ng bubot na bunga kapag niyuyugyog ng malakas na hangin. 14 Nahawi (G) ang langit na parang isang balumbon na ibinabalumbong mag-isa, at naalis sa kinalalagyan ang bawat bundok at pulo. 15 (H) Ang mga hari ng daigdig, tagapamahala, mga pinuno, mga mayaman, mga makapangyarihan, ang bawat alipin, at bawat malaya ay nagtago sa mga yungib at sa mga bato sa mga bundok. 16 (I) Sinasabi nila sa mga bundok at sa mga bato, “Mahulog kayo sa amin at ikubli ninyo kami mula sa mukha niya na nakaupo sa trono at mula sa galit ng Kordero; 17 sapagkat (J) dumating na ang dakilang araw ng kanilang pagkapoot, at sino ang makatatagal dito?”

The Seals

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!” 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)

When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature(H) say, “Come!” 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.

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. 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!”

When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature(P) say, “Come!” 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)

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)

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?

The First Seal on the Scroll

Then I saw[a] the Lamb open one of the seven[b] seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder, “Come!”[c][d] I looked, and there was a white horse.(A) The horseman on it had a bow; a crown was given to him, and he went out as a victor to conquer.[e]

The Second Seal

When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!”[f][g] Then another horse went out, a fiery red one, and its horseman was empowered[h] to take peace from the earth, so that people would slaughter one another. And a large sword was given to him.(B)

The Third Seal

When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!”[i][j] And I looked, and there was a black horse. The horseman on it had a set of scales in his hand. Then I heard something like a voice among the four living creatures say, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius—but do not harm the olive oil and the wine.”

The Fourth Seal

When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!”[k][l] And I looked, and there was a pale green[m] horse. The horseman on it was named Death, and Hades was following after him. Authority was given to them[n](C) over a fourth of the earth, to kill by the sword, by famine, by plague, and by the wild animals of the earth.

The Fifth Seal

When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the people[o] slaughtered because of God’s word and the testimony they had.[p](D) 10 They cried out with a loud voice: “Lord,[q] the One who is holy and true, how long until You judge and avenge our blood from those who live on the earth?” 11 So a white robe was given to each of them, and they were told to rest a little while longer until the number would be completed of their fellow slaves and their brothers, who were going to be killed just as they had been.

The Sixth Seal

12 Then I saw Him open[r] the sixth seal. A violent earthquake occurred; the sun turned black like sackcloth(E) made of goat hair; the entire moon[s] became like blood; 13 the stars[t] of heaven fell to the earth as a fig tree drops its unripe figs when shaken by a high wind; 14 the sky separated like a scroll being rolled up; and every mountain and island was moved from its place.

15 Then the kings of the earth, the nobles, the military commanders, the rich, the powerful, and every slave and free person hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains.(F) 16 And they said to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us(G) from the face of the One seated on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb, 17 because the great day of Their[u] wrath has come! And who is able to stand?”(H)
