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)

Unsealing the Scroll
6 1-2 I watched while the Lamb ripped off the first of the seven seals. I heard one of the Animals roar, “Come out!” I looked—I saw a white horse. Its rider carried a bow and was given a victory garland. He rode off victorious, conquering right and left.
3-4 When the Lamb ripped off the second seal, I heard the second Animal cry, “Come out!” Another horse appeared, this one red. Its rider was off to take peace from the earth, setting people at each other’s throats, killing one another. He was given a huge sword.
5-6 When he ripped off the third seal, I heard the third Animal cry, “Come out!” I looked. A black horse this time. Its rider carried a set of scales in his hand. I heard a message (it seemed to issue from the Four Animals): “A quart of wheat for a day’s wages, or three quarts of barley, but don’t lay even a finger on the oil and wine.”
7-8 When he ripped off the fourth seal, I heard the fourth Animal cry, “Come out!” I looked. A colorless horse, sickly pale. Its rider was Death, and Hell was close on its heels. They were given power to destroy a fourth of the earth by war, famine, disease, and wild beasts.
9-11 When he ripped off the fifth seal, I saw the souls of those killed because they had held firm in their witness to the Word of God. They were gathered under the Altar, and cried out in loud prayers, “How long, Strong God, Holy and True? How long before you step in and avenge our murders?” Then each martyr was given a white robe and told to sit back and wait until the full number of martyrs was filled from among their servant companions and friends in the faith.
12-17 I watched while he ripped off the sixth seal: a bone-jarring earthquake, sun turned black as ink, moon all bloody, stars falling out of the sky like figs shaken from a tree in a high wind, sky snapped shut like a book, islands and mountains sliding this way and that. And then pandemonium, everyone and his dog running for cover—kings, princes, generals, rich and strong, along with every commoner, slave or free. They hid in mountain caves and rocky dens, calling out to mountains and rocks, “Refuge! Hide us from the One Seated on the Throne and the wrath of the Lamb! The great Day of their wrath has come—who can stand it?”

6 Pastaj pashë kur Qengji hapi të parën nga të shtatë vulat, dhe dëgjova një nga të katër qeniet e gjalla që thoshte si me zë bubullime: “Eja e shiko.”
2 Dhe unë pashë, dhe ja, një kalë i bardhë. Dhe ai që e kalëronte kishte një hark; dhe atij iu dha një kurorë, dhe ai doli jashtë si fitimtar dhe për të fituar.
3 Kur ai hapi vulën e dytë, dëgjova qenien e dytë të gjallë që thoshte: “Eja dhe shiko.”
4 Atëherë doli jashtë një kalë tjetër i kuq; dhe atij që e kalëronte iu dha të hiqte paqen nga dheu që njerëzit të vrasin njëri-tjetrin, dhe iu dha atij një shpatë e madhe.
5 Dhe kur ai hapi vulën e tretë, dëgjova qenien e tretë e gjallë që thoshte: “Eja dhe shiko.” Dhe pashë dhe ja, një kalë i zi; dhe ai që e kalëronte kishte një peshore në dorën e tij.
6 Dhe dëgjova një zë në mes të katër qenieve të gjalla duke thënë: “Një kenik gruri për një denar, dhe dy kenikë elbi për një denar; dhe mos dëmto vajin, as verën.”
7 Kur ai hapi vulën e katërt, dëgjova zërin e qenies së katërt të gjallë që thoshte: “Eja dhe shiko.”
8 Dhe unë pashë, dhe ja një kalë i zbehtë; dhe ai që e kalëronte emrin e kishte Vdekja, dhe Hadesi vinte pas tij. Dhe iu dha atyre pushtet përmbi një të katërtën e dheut, të vrasin me shpatë dhe me zi buke e me vdekje, dhe nëpërmjet bishave të dheut.
9 Dhe kur hapi vulën e pestë, unë pashë nën altar shpirtrat e atyre që ishin therur për shkak të fjalës së Perëndisë dhe për shkak të dëshmisë që kishin;
10 dhe ata thirrën me zë të madh duke thënë: “Deri kur, o Zot, që je i Shenjtë dhe i Vërtetë, nuk gjykon dhe nuk merr hak për gjakun tonë nga ata që banojnë mbi dhe?.”
11 Dhe secilit prej tyre ju dha një petk i bardhë dhe ju thanë që të preheshin edhe për pak kohë, deri sa të plotësohej numri edhe i bashkësherbëtoreve e tyre dhe i vëllezërve të tyre që duhet të vriteshin posi ata.
12 Dhe pashë, kur ai hapi vulën e gjashtë; dhe ja, u bë një tërmet i madh, dhe dielli u bë i zi si një thes prej leshi, dhe hëna u bë si gjak;
13 dhe yjet e qiellit ranë mbi dheun, ashtu si fiku hedh fiqtë e paarrirë kur e tund një erë e madhe.
14 Pastaj qielli u hoq si një pergamenë që mbështillet, dhe çdo mal dhe ishull luajtën nga vendi i tyre.
15 Dhe mbretërit e dheut, dhe të mëdhenjtë, dhe të pasurit, dhe komandantët, dhe të fuqishmit, dhe çdo skllav e çdo i lirë, u fshehën nëpër shpella dhe nëpër krepat e maleve,
16 dhe u thoshnin maleve dhe shkëmbinjve: “Bini mbi ne dhe na fshihni nga fytyra e atij që rri mbi fron dhe nga zemërimi i Qengjit,
17 sepse erdhi dita e madhe e zemërimit së tij; dhe kush mund të qëndrojë?.”

Снятие первых шести печатей
6 Я видел, как Ягненок открыл первую из семи печатей, и затем услышал, как одно из четырех живых существ сказало громоподобным голосом:
– Подойди!
2 Я посмотрел и увидел белого коня. На нем сидел вооруженный луком всадник, которому был дан венец. Он выехал как победитель, и чтобы победить[a].
3 Когда Ягненок снял вторую печать, я услышал, как второе живое существо сказало:
– Подойди!
4 И вышел другой конь, огненно-рыжий. На нем сидел вооруженный длинным мечом всадник, которому была дана власть лишить землю мира, чтобы люди на ней убивали друг друга.
5 Когда Ягненок снял третью печать, я услышал, как третье живое существо сказало:
– Подойди!
Я увидел вороного коня. Сидящий на нем всадник держал в руке весы. 6 И я услышал со стороны четырех живых существ голос, говорящий:
– Одну меру[b] пшеницы – за динарий[c], и три меры[d] ячменя – за динарий, но не повреди масла и вина!
7 Когда Ягненок снял четвертую печать, я услышал голос четвертого существа. Оно сказало:
– Подойди!
8 Я увидел мертвенно-бледного коня. Его всадника звали Смерть, а за ним следовал ад. Им была дана власть над четвертой частью земли, чтобы губить людей мечом, голодом, эпидемиями и дикими зверями.
9 Когда Ягненок снял пятую печать, я увидел у подножия жертвенника души тех, кто был убит за слово Божье и за свое свидетельство. 10 Они громко закричали:
– До каких пор, святой и истинный Владыка, Ты не будешь судить и мстить живущим на земле за нашу кровь?
11 Каждому из них была дана белая одежда, и им было сказано подождать еще некоторое время, пока число их сотрудников и братьев, которые будут убиты так же, как и они, не достигнет своей полноты.
12 Потом я увидел, как Ягненок снял шестую печать. Тогда вдруг произошло сильное землетрясение[e], и солнце стало черным, как рубище, а луна стала красной, как кровь[f]. 13 Небесные звезды упали на землю, как незрелый инжир падает с деревьев от сильного порыва ветра[g]. 14 Небо свернулось, как свиток[h], и все горы и острова были сдвинуты со своих мест. 15 Цари земли, высокопоставленные чиновники, полководцы, богатые и власть имущие, и все люди – рабы и свободные – попрятались в пещерах и расщелинах гор[i].
16 – Упадите на нас, – умоляли они горы и скалы, – спрячьте нас[j] от лица Сидящего на троне и от гнева Ягненка! 17 Наступил великий День Их гнева, и кто может устоять?

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?
