Apocalipsa 6
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
6 Când a rupt Mielul cea dintâi din cele şapte peceţi, m-am(A) uitat şi am auzit pe una(B) din cele patru făpturi vii zicând cu un glas ca de tunet: „Vino şi vezi!” 2 M-am uitat şi iată că s-a arătat un(C) cal alb. Cel ce(D) sta pe el avea un arc; i(E) s-a dat o cunună şi a pornit biruitor şi ca să biruiască. 3 Când a rupt Mielul a doua pecete, am(F) auzit pe a doua făptură vie zicând: „Vino şi vezi!” 4 Şi(G) s-a arătat un alt cal, un cal roşu. Cel ce sta pe el a primit puterea să ia pacea de pe pământ, pentru ca oamenii să se înjunghie unii pe alţii, şi i s-a dat o sabie mare. 5 Când a rupt Mielul pecetea a treia, am(H) auzit pe a treia făptură vie zicând: „Vino şi vezi!” M-am uitat şi iată că s-a arătat un(I) cal negru. Cel ce sta pe el avea în mână o cumpănă. 6 Şi, în mijlocul celor patru făpturi vii, am auzit un glas care zicea: „O măsură de grâu pentru un dinar. Trei măsuri de orz pentru un dinar! Dar să nu vatămi untdelemnul(J) şi vinul!” 7 Când a rupt Mielul pecetea a patra, am(K) auzit glasul făpturii a patra zicând: „Vino şi vezi!” 8 M-am uitat(L) şi iată că s-a arătat un cal gălbui. Cel ce sta pe el se numea Moartea şi împreună cu el venea după el Locuinţa morţilor. Li s-a dat putere peste a patra parte a pământului ca să(M) ucidă cu sabia, cu foamete, cu molimă şi(N) cu fiarele pământului. 9 Când a rupt Mielul pecetea a cincea, am văzut sub altar(O) sufletele(P) celor ce fuseseră înjunghiaţi din pricina(Q) Cuvântului lui Dumnezeu şi din pricina mărturisirii(R) pe care o ţinuseră. 10 Ei strigau cu glas tare şi ziceau: „Până(S) când, Stăpâne, Tu, care(T) eşti sfânt şi adevărat, zăboveşti să(U) judeci şi să răzbuni sângele nostru asupra locuitorilor pământului?” 11 Fiecăruia din ei i s-a dat o haină(V) albă şi i s-a spus să(W) se mai odihnească puţină vreme, până se va împlini numărul tovarăşilor lor de slujbă şi al fraţilor lor, care aveau să fie omorâţi ca şi ei. 12 Când a rupt Mielul pecetea a şasea, m-am uitat şi iată(X) că s-a făcut un mare cutremur de pământ. Soarele(Y) s-a făcut negru ca un sac de păr, luna s-a făcut toată ca sângele 13 şi(Z) stelele au căzut din cer pe pământ, cum cad smochinele verzi din pom când este scuturat de un vânt puternic. 14 Cerul(AA) s-a strâns ca o carte de piele pe care o faci sul. Şi toţi(AB) munţii şi toate ostroavele s-au mutat din locurile lor. 15 Împăraţii pământului, domnitorii, căpitanii oştilor, cei bogaţi şi cei puternici, toţi robii şi toţi oamenii slobozi s-au(AC) ascuns în peşteri şi în stâncile munţilor. 16 Şi(AD) ziceau munţilor şi stâncilor: „Cădeţi peste noi şi ascundeţi-ne de Faţa Celui ce şade pe scaunul de domnie şi de mânia Mielului, 17 căci(AE) a venit ziua cea mare a mâniei Lui şi(AF) cine poate sta în picioare?”
Revelation 6
New King James Version
First Seal: The Conqueror
6 Now (A)I saw when the Lamb opened one of the [a]seals; and I heard (B)one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, “Come and see.” 2 And I looked, and behold, (C)a white horse. (D)He who sat on it had a bow; (E)and a crown was given to him, and he went out (F)conquering and to conquer.
Second Seal: Conflict on Earth
3 When He opened the second seal, (G)I heard the second living creature saying, “Come [b]and see.” 4 (H)Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to (I)take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.
Third Seal: Scarcity on Earth
5 When He opened the third seal, (J)I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.” So I looked, and behold, (K)a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of (L)scales[c] in his hand. 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A [d]quart of wheat for a [e]denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and (M)do not harm the oil and the wine.”
Fourth Seal: Widespread Death on Earth
7 When He opened the fourth seal, (N)I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see.” 8 (O)So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And [f]power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, (P)to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, (Q)and by the beasts of the earth.
Fifth Seal: The Cry of the Martyrs
9 When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under (R)the altar (S)the souls of those who had been slain (T)for the word of God and for (U)the testimony which they held. 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, (V)“How long, O Lord, (W)holy and true, (X)until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” 11 Then a (Y)white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them (Z)that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.
Sixth Seal: Cosmic Disturbances
12 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, (AA)and [g]behold, there was a great earthquake; and (AB)the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the [h]moon became like blood. 13 (AC)And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. 14 (AD)Then the sky [i]receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and (AE)every mountain and island was moved out of its place. 15 And the (AF)kings of the earth, the great men, [j]the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, (AG)hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, 16 (AH)and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who (AI)sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day of His wrath has come, (AJ)and who is able to stand?”

English Standard Version
The Seven Seals
6 Now I watched when the Lamb opened one of (A)the seven seals, and I heard (B)one of the four living creatures say (C)with a voice like thunder, (D)“Come!” 2 And I looked, and behold, (E)a white horse! And (F)its rider had a bow, and (G)a crown was given to him, and he came out (H)conquering, and to conquer.
3 When he opened the second seal, I heard (I)the second living creature say, “Come!” 4 And out came another horse, (J)bright red. Its rider was permitted (K)to take peace from the earth, so that people should slay one another, and he was given a great sword.
5 When he opened the third seal, I heard the (L)third living creature say, “Come!” And I looked, and behold, (M)a black horse! And its rider had a pair of scales in his hand. 6 And I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying, (N)“A quart[a] of wheat for a denarius,[b] and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and (O)do not harm the oil and wine!”
7 When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of (P)the fourth living creature say, “Come!” 8 And I looked, and behold, (Q)a pale horse! And its rider's name was Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill (R)with sword and with famine and with pestilence and (S)by wild beasts of the earth.
9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under (T)the altar (U)the souls of those who had been slain (V)for the word of God and for (W)the witness they had borne. 10 They cried out with a loud voice, “O Sovereign Lord, (X)holy and true, (Y)how long (Z)before you will judge and (AA)avenge our blood on (AB)those who dwell on the earth?” 11 Then they were each given (AC)a white robe and (AD)told to rest a little longer, (AE)until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers[c] (AF)should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been.
12 When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, (AG)there was a great earthquake, and (AH)the sun became black as (AI)sackcloth, the full moon became like blood, 13 and (AJ)the stars of the sky fell to the earth (AK)as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale. 14 (AL)The sky vanished (AM)like a scroll that is being rolled up, and (AN)every mountain and island was removed from its place. 15 Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave[d] and free, (AO)hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, 16 (AP)calling to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of (AQ)him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, 17 for (AR)the great day of their wrath has come, and (AS)who can stand?”
