¶ Apre sa mwen wè ti Mouton an kase yonn nan sèt sele yo. Lè sa a, mwen tande yonn nan kat bèt vivan yo pale, ou ta di yon kout loraj. Li di: Vini non!

Mwen gade, mwen wè yon chwal blan. Moun ki te moute l' la te kenbe yon banza nan men l'. Yo ba l' yon kouwòn met sou tèt li. Li pati tankou yon moun ki fin genyen yon batay men ki soti pou l' genyen ankò.

¶ Apre sa, ti Mouton an kase dezyèm sele a. Mwen tande dezyèm bèt vivan an ki t'ap di: Vini non!

Lè sa a, yon lòt chwal koulè wouj soti. Moun ki te moute l' la resevwa pouvwa pou l' mete lagè toupatou sou latè, pou lèzòm ka yonn touye lòt. Yo ba l' yon gwo nepe kenbe nan men li.

Apre sa, ti Mouton an kase twazièm sele a. Mwen tande twazièm bèt vivan an ki t'ap di: Vini non! Mwen gade, mwen wè yon chwal nwa. Moun ki te moute l' la te kenbe yon balans nan men li.

Mwen tande yon vwa ki soti nan mitan kat bèt vivan yo ki t'ap di: Yon mezi diri pou yon jounen travay. Twa mezi pitimi pou yon jounen travay. Men, pa manyen ni lwil la ni diven an.

Apre sa, ti Mouton an kase katriyèm sele a. Mwen tande katriyèm bèt vivan an ki t'ap di: Vini non!

Mwen gade, mwen wè yon chwal koulè vèt. Moun ki te moute l' la te rele lanmò. Moun ki kanpe pou kote mò yo ye a t'ap mache dèyè li. Yo ba yo pouvwa sou yon ka (1/4) latè a, pou yo touye moun ak nepe, ak grangou, ak maladi, ak bèt nan bwa ki sou latè.

¶ Apre sa, ti Mouton an kase senkièm sele a. Lè sa a, mwen wè anba lotèl la nanm tout moun yo te touye paske yo t'ap fè konnen Pawòl Bondye a, paske yo t'ap di verite a jan l' ye a.

10 Yo t'ap rele byen fò: O Mèt, ou menm ki sen, ou menm ki verite a, konbe tan ou gen pou tann ankò anvan pou ou vini jije moun ki rete sou latè a, pou ou vin peni yo paske yo te touye nou?

11 Yo ba yo chak yon rad blan mete sou yo. Apre sa, yo mande yo pran pasians pou yon ti tan ankò, jouk kantite frè ak kanmarad sèvis ki gen pou mouri tankou yo a fin kont.

12 Apre sa, mwen wè ti Mouton an kase sizièm sele a. Lè sa a, yon gwo tranblemanntè fèt, sòlèy la vin tou nwa, tankou yon gwo moso twal nwa byen pwès. Lalin lan menm te vin tou wouj tankou san.

13 Zetwal yo menm t'ap sot nan sièl la tonbe sou latè, tankou fig frans tou vèt k'ap tonbe lè gwo van ap souke pie fig la.

14 Sièl la disparèt nèt tankou yon woulo papie yo vlope. Yo rache tout mòn yo ak tout zile yo, yo mete yo yon lòt kote.

15 Tout wa sou latè, chèf, kòmandan, moun rich, grannèg ansanm ak tout lòt moun, kit yo esklav, kit yo lib, yo tout al kache nan twou wòch ak dèyè gwo wòch nan mòn yo.

16 Yo t'ap pale ak mòn yo ansanm ak wòch yo tankou ak moun. Yo t'ap di yo: Tonbe sou nou. Kache nou pou moun ki chita sou fòtèy la pa wè nou, pou kòlè ti Mouton an pa tonbe sou nou.

17 Paske, gwo jou kòlè a rive. Ki moun ki ka kenbe tèt avèk li?

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)
