Revelation 6
Lexham English Bible
The Opening of the First Six Seals
6 And I watched when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying like the sound of thunder, “Come!” 2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse, and the one seated on it had a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and in order that he might conquer.
3 And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come!” 4 And another horse came out, fiery red, and it was granted to the one seated on it to take peace from the earth, and that they would slaughter one another, and a large sword was given to him.
5 And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, “Come!” And I looked, and behold, a black horse, and the one seated on it had a balance scale in his hand. 6 And I heard something like a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not damage the olive oil and the wine!”
7 And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard a voice from the fourth living creature saying, “Come!” 8 And I looked, and behold, a pale green horse, and the one seated on it was named[a] Death, and Hades followed after him. And authority was granted to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill by the sword and by famine and by pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth.
9 And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slaughtered because of the word of God and because of the testimony which they had, 10 and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, “How long[b], holy and true Lord, will you not judge and avenge our blood from those who live on the earth?” 11 And to each one of them a white robe was given, and it was said to them that they should rest yet a short time, until the number of their fellow slaves and their brothers who were about to be killed as they had been were completed also.
12 And I watched when he opened the sixth seal, and a great earthquake took place, and the sun became black like sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood, 13 and the stars of heaven[c] fell to the earth like a fig tree throws down its unripe figs when[d] shaken by a great wind. 14 And the sky was split apart like a scroll that is rolled up, and every mountain and island were moved from their place. 15 And the kings of the earth, and the most important people, and the military leaders, and the rich, and the powerful, and every slave and free person hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, 16 And they said to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of the one who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, 17 because the great day of their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”

La Palabra (Hispanoamérica)
Los cuatro primeros sellos
6 Vi entonces cómo el Cordero rompió el primero de los siete sellos, al tiempo que uno de los cuatro seres vivientes decía con voz de trueno:
2 — ¡Ven!
Al mirar, vi un caballo blanco, cuyo jinete iba armado de un arco. Le dieron una corona, y salió como seguro vencedor. 3 El Cordero rompió el segundo sello, y oí que el segundo ser viviente decía:
— ¡Ven!
4 Salió entonces otro caballo de color rojo. A su jinete se le dio una gran espada con la misión de borrar la paz de la tierra provocando guerras fratricidas.
5 Rompió el Cordero el tercer sello, y oí al tercer ser viviente que decía:
— ¡Ven!
Al mirar, vi un caballo negro, cuyo jinete sostenía una balanza en la mano. 6 Emergiendo de entre los cuatro seres vivientes, una especie de voz proclamaba:
— Por un kilo de trigo, el jornal de un día; por tres kilos de cebada, el jornal de un día; no causes daño, sin embargo, al aceite y al vino.
7 El Cordero rompió el cuarto sello, y oí la voz del cuarto ser viviente, que decía:
— ¡Ven!
8 Al mirar, vi un caballo amarillo montado por un jinete que se llamaba “Muerte”. Detrás de él galopaba el “Abismo”, ambos con poder para aniquilar la cuarta parte de la tierra valiéndose de la espada, el hambre, la peste y los animales salvajes.
El quinto y sexto sello
9 El Cordero rompió el quinto sello, y vi debajo del altar, vivos, los que habían sido asesinados por haber proclamado la palabra de Dios y haber dado testimonio de su fe. 10 Y gritaron con voz poderosa:
— Señor santo y veraz, ¿cuánto vas a tardar en hacernos justicia y vengar la muerte que nos dieron los que habitan tierra?
11 Recibió entonces cada uno una túnica blanca, mientras les decían:
— Esperen todavía un poco hasta que se complete el número de sus compañeros y hermanos que han de morir como ustedes.
12 Vi cómo el Cordero rompía el sexto sello. Se produjo entonces un formidable terremoto; el sol se oscureció como si se vistiera de luto; la luna se volvió completamente como sangre; 13 las estrellas del cielo cayeron sobre la tierra, como frutos aún verdes sacudidos por un viento impetuoso; 14 el cielo se replegó sobre sí mismo como un pergamino que se enrolla, y todos los montes y las islas sintieron estremecerse sus cimientos. 15 Entonces, los reyes de la tierra, los nobles, los generales, los ricos, los poderosos, todos absolutamente, esclavos y libres, se escondieron en las cuevas y entre las peñas de los montes, 16 diciendo a cumbres y peñascos:
— Caigan sobre nosotros; ocúltennos para que no nos vea el que está sentado en el trono, para que no dé con nosotros la ira del Cordero. 17 Porque ha llegado el gran día de su ira, y ¿quién podrá resistir en pie?
Revelation 6
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.
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?
