Revelation 6
Complete Jewish Bible
6 Next I watched as the Lamb broke the first of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living beings say in a thundering voice, “Go!” 2 I looked, and there in front of me was a white horse; its rider had a bow and was given a crown; and he rode off as a conqueror to conquer.
3 When he broke the second seal, I heard the second living being say, “Go!” 4 Another horse went out, a red one; and its rider was given the power to take peace away from the earth and make people slaughter each other. He was given a great sword.
5 When he broke the third seal, I heard the third living being say, “Go!” I looked, and there in front of me was a black horse, and its rider held in his hand a pair of scales. 6 Then I heard what sounded like a voice from among the four living beings say, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages! Six pounds of barley for the same price! But don’t damage the oil or the wine!”
7 When he broke the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living being say, “Go!” 8 I looked, and there in front of me was a pallid, sickly-looking horse. Its rider’s name was Death, and Sh’ol followed behind him. They were given authority to kill one-quarter of the world by war, by famine, by plagues and with the wild animals of the earth.
9 When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been put to death for proclaiming the Word of God, that is, for bearing witness. 10 They cried out in a loud voice, “Sovereign Ruler, HaKadosh, the True One, how long will it be before you judge the people living on earth and avenge our blood?” 11 Each of them was given a white robe; and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow-servants should be reached, of their brothers who would be killed, just as they had been.
12 Then I watched as he broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake, the sun turned black as sackcloth worn in mourning, and the full moon became blood-red. 13 The stars fell from heaven to earth just as a fig tree drops its figs when shaken by a strong wind. 14 The sky receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved from its place. 15 Then the earth’s kings, the rulers, the generals, the rich and the mighty — indeed, everyone, slave and free — hid himself in caves and among the rocks in the mountains, 16 and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us, and hide us[a] from the face of the One sitting on the throne and from the fury of the Lamb! 17 For the Great Day of their fury has come, and who can stand?”

启示录 6
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
羔羊揭开前六印
6 然后，我看见羔羊揭开七印中的第一印，那时我听见四个活物中的一个用如雷的声音说：“来！” 2 我便观看，见有一匹白马，马上的骑士拿着弓，他接受了赏赐给他的冠冕后，便四处征战，战无不胜。
3 羔羊揭开第二印时，我听见第二个活物说：“来！” 4 这次出现了一匹红马，马上的骑士获得权柄和一把大刀，要夺取地上的和平，使人类互相厮杀。
5 揭开第三印的时候，我听见第三个活物说：“来！”我便看见一匹黑马，马上的骑士手里拿着天平。 6 我又听见四个活物中好像有声音说：“一升小麦值一个银币[a]，三升大麦也同价，油和酒都不要糟蹋。”
7 羔羊揭开第四印的时候，我听到第四个活物说：“来！” 8 这次我看到一匹浅灰色的马，马上骑士的名字叫死亡，阴府紧跟在他后面。他们得到权力可以用刀剑、饥荒、瘟疫和野兽消灭全人类的四分之一。
9 羔羊揭开第五印的时候，我看到一个祭坛，祭坛下有许多灵魂，都是为传扬上帝的道、为祂做见证而被杀的。 10 他们大声喊着说：“圣洁真实的主宰啊，还要等多久呢？为什么你还不审判地上那些屠杀我们的人，为我们申冤呢？” 11 这时有白袍赐给他们，有声音告诉他们要再稍候片刻，直到和他们同做奴仆的弟兄被杀害的数目满了为止。
12 羔羊揭开第六印的时候，我看见大地震发生了，太阳变得像黑毛布一样黑，整个月亮变成血红色， 13 天上的星辰都坠落，好像未成熟的无花果被狂风吹落一般。 14 天空也像书卷被卷起来，所有的山岭和海岛都被挪离原位。 15 地上的君王、显贵、将领、富豪、有势力的、一切奴隶和自由人都躲藏在山洞里和岩穴间。 16 他们哀求群山和岩石，说：“倒下来遮盖我们，将我们藏起来吧！我们不敢面对宝座上的那位和羔羊的烈怒啊！ 17 因为祂们发烈怒的大日子到了，谁能站得住呢？”

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?
Apocalipsis 6
Reina Valera Actualizada
El Cordero abre los siete sellos
6 Y miré cuando el Cordero abrió el primero de los siete sellos, y oí a uno de los cuatro seres vivientes que decía con voz de trueno: “¡Ven!”. 2 Y miré, y he aquí un caballo blanco. El que estaba montado sobre él tenía un arco, y le fue dada una corona; y salió venciendo y para vencer.
3 Cuando abrió el segundo sello, oí al segundo ser viviente que decía: “¡Ven!”. 4 Y salió otro caballo, rojo. Al que estaba montado sobre él, le fue dado poder para quitar la paz de la tierra y para que se matasen unos a otros. Y le fue dada una gran espada. 5 Cuando abrió el tercer sello, oí al tercer ser viviente que decía: “¡Ven!”. Y miré y he aquí un caballo negro, y el que estaba montado sobre él tenía una balanza en su mano. 6 Y oí como una voz en medio de los cuatro seres vivientes, que decía: “¡Un kilo de trigo por el salario de un día, y tres kilos de cebada por el salario de un día! Y no hagas ningún daño al vino ni al aceite”.
7 Cuando abrió el cuarto sello, oí la voz del cuarto ser viviente que decía: “¡Ven!”. 8 Y miré, y he aquí un caballo pálido; y el que estaba montado sobre él se llamaba Muerte; y el Hades le seguía muy de cerca. A ellos les fue dado poder sobre la cuarta parte de la tierra, para matar con espada y con hambre y con pestilencia, y por las fieras del campo.
9 Cuando abrió el quinto sello, vi debajo del altar las almas de los que habían sido muertos a causa de la palabra de Dios y del testimonio que ellos tenían. 10 Y clamaban a gran voz diciendo: “¿Hasta cuándo, oh soberano Señor, santo y verdadero, no juzgas y vengas nuestra sangre sobre los que moran en la tierra?”. 11 Y a cada uno de ellos le fue dado un vestido blanco; y se les dijo que descansaran todavía un poco de tiempo, hasta que se completase el número de sus consiervos y sus hermanos que también habían de ser muertos como ellos.
12 Y miré cuando él abrió el sexto sello, y se produjo un gran terremoto. El sol se puso negro como tela de cilicio; la luna entera se puso como sangre, 13 y las estrellas del cielo cayeron sobre la tierra, como una higuera arroja sus higos tardíos cuando es sacudida por un fuerte viento. 14 El cielo fue apartado como un pergamino enrollado, y toda montaña e isla fueron removidas de sus lugares. 15 Los reyes de la tierra, los grandes, los comandantes, los ricos, los poderosos, todo esclavo y todo libre se escondieron en las cuevas y entre las peñas de las montañas, 16 y decían a las montañas y a las peñas: “Caigan sobre nosotros y escóndanos del rostro del que está sentado sobre el trono y de la ira del Cordero. 17 Porque ha llegado el gran día de su ira, y ¡quién podrá permanecer de pie!”.
