1. Then I watched while the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder, "Come!"
|
1. And G2532 I saw G1492 when G3753 the G3588 Lamb G721 opened G455 one G3391 of G1537 the G3588 seals G4973 , and G2532 I heard G191 , as it were G5613 the noise G5456 of thunder G1027 , one G1520 of G1537 the G3588 four G5064 beasts G2226 saying G3004 , Come G2064 and G2532 see G991 .
|
|
2. I looked, and there before me was a white horse. The rider on the horse held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out, determined to win the victory.
|
2. And G2532 I saw G1492 , and G2532 behold G2400 a white G3022 horse G2462 : and G2532 he that sat G2521 on G1909 him G846 had G2192 a bow G5115 ; and G2532 a crown G4735 was given G1325 unto him G846 : and G2532 he went forth G1831 conquering G3528 , and G2532 to G2443 conquer G3528 .
|
|
3. When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!"
|
3. And G2532 when G3753 he had opened G455 the G3588 second G1208 seal G4973 , I heard G191 the G3588 second G1208 beast G2226 say G3004 , Come G2064 and G2532 see G991 .
|
|
4. Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace from the earth and to make people kill each other, and he was given a big sword.
|
4. And G2532 there went out G1831 another G243 horse G2462 that was red G4450 : and G2532 power was given G1325 to him G846 that sat G2521 thereon G1909 G846 to take G2983 peace G1515 from G575 the G3588 earth G1093 , and G2532 that G2443 they should kill G4969 one another G240 : and G2532 there was given G1325 unto him G846 a great G3173 sword G3162 .
|
|
5. When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse, and its rider held a pair of scales in his hand.
|
5. And G2532 when G3753 he had opened G455 the G3588 third G5154 seal G4973 , I heard G191 the G3588 third G5154 beast G2226 say G3004 , Come G2064 and G2532 see G991 . And G2532 I beheld G1492 , and G2532 lo G2400 a black G3189 horse G2462 ; and G2532 he that sat G2521 on G1909 him G846 had G2192 a pair of balances G2218 in G1722 his G848 hand G5495 .
|
|
6. Then I heard something that sounded like a voice coming from the middle of the four living creatures. The voice said, "A quart of wheat for a day's pay, and three quarts of barley for a day's pay, and do not damage the olive oil and wine!"
|
6. And G2532 I heard G191 a voice G5456 in G1722 the midst G3319 of the G3588 four G5064 beasts G2226 say G3004 , A measure G5518 of wheat G4621 for a penny G1220 , and G2532 three G5140 measures G5518 of barley G2915 for a penny G1220 ; and G2532 see thou hurt G91 not G3361 the G3588 oil G1637 and G2532 the G3588 wine G3631 .
|
|
7. When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!"
|
7. And G2532 when G3753 he had opened G455 the G3588 fourth G5067 seal G4973 , I heard G191 the voice G5456 of the G3588 fourth G5067 beast G2226 say G3004 , Come G2064 and G2532 see G991 .
|
|
8. I looked, and there before me was a pale horse. Its rider was named death, and Hadesn was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill people by war, by starvation, by disease, and by the wild animals of the earth.
|
8. And G2532 I looked G1492 , and G2532 behold G2400 a pale G5515 horse G2462 : and G2532 his G846 name G3686 that sat G2521 on G1883 him G846 was Death G2288 , and G2532 Hell G86 followed G190 with G3326 him G846 . And G2532 power G1849 was given G1325 unto them G846 over G1909 the G3588 fourth part G5067 of the G3588 earth G1093 , to kill G615 with G1722 sword G4501 , and G2532 with G1722 hunger G3042 , and G2532 with G1722 death G2288 , and G2532 with G5259 the G3588 beasts G2342 of the G3588 earth G1093 .?
|
|
9. When the Lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been killed because they were faithful to the word of God and to the message they had received.
|
9. And G2532 when G3753 he had opened G455 the G3588 fifth G3991 seal G4973 , I saw G1492 under G5270 the G3588 altar G2379 the G3588 souls G5590 of them that were slain G4969 for G1223 the G3588 word G3056 of God G2316 , and G2532 for G1223 the G3588 testimony G3141 which G3739 they held G2192 :
|
|
10. These souls shouted in a loud voice, "Holy and true Lord, how long until you judge the people of the earth and punish them for killing us?"
|
10. And G2532 they cried G2896 with a loud G3173 voice G5456 , saying G3004 , How long G2193 G4219 , O Lord G1203 , holy G40 and G2532 true G2228 , dost thou not G3756 judge G2919 and G2532 avenge G1556 our G2257 blood G129 on G575 them that dwell G2730 on G1909 the G3588 earth G1093 ?
|
|
11. Then each one of them was given a white robe and was told to wait a short time longer. There were still some of their fellow servants and brothers and sistersn in the service of Christ who must be killed as they were. They had to wait until all of this was finished.
|
11. And G2532 white G3022 robes G4749 were given G1325 unto every one of them G1538 ; and G2532 it was said G4483 unto them G846 , that G2443 they should rest G373 yet G2089 for a little G3398 season G5550 , until G2193 G3757 their G848 fellow servants G4889 also G2532 and G2532 their G848 brethren G80 , that should G3195 be killed G615 as G5613 they were G2532 G848 , should be fulfilled G4137 .
|
|
12. Then I watched while the Lamb opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. The sun became black like rough black cloth, and the whole moon became red like blood.
|
12. And G2532 I beheld G1492 when G3753 he had opened G455 the G3588 sixth G1623 seal G4973 , and G2532 , lo G2400 , there was G1096 a great G3173 earthquake G4578 ; and G2532 the G3588 sun G2246 became G1096 black G3189 as G5613 sackcloth G4526 of hair G5155 , and G2532 the G3588 moon G4582 became G1096 as G5613 blood G129 ;
|
|
13. And the stars in the sky fell to the earth like figs falling from a fig tree when the wind blows.
|
13. And G2532 the G3588 stars G792 of heaven G3772 fell G4098 unto G1519 the G3588 earth G1093 , even as G5613 a fig tree G4808 casteth G906 her G848 untimely figs G3653 , when she is shaken G4579 of G5259 a mighty G3173 wind G417 .
|
|
14. The sky disappeared as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved from its place.
|
14. And G2532 the heaven G3772 departed G673 as G5613 a scroll G975 when it is rolled together G1507 ; and G2532 every G3956 mountain G3735 and G2532 island G3520 were moved G2795 out of G1537 their G848 places G5117 .
|
|
15. Then the kings of the earth, the rulers, the generals, the rich people, the powerful people, the slaves, and the free people hid themselves in caves and in the rocks on the mountains.
|
15. And G2532 the G3588 kings G935 of the G3588 earth G1093 , and G2532 the G3588 great men G3175 , and G2532 the G3588 rich men G4145 , and G2532 the G3588 chief captains G5506 , and G2532 the G3588 mighty men G1415 , and G2532 every G3956 bondman G1401 , and G2532 every G3956 free man G1658 , hid G2928 themselves G1438 in G1519 the G3588 dens G4693 and G2532 in G1519 the G3588 rocks G4073 of the G3588 mountains G3735 ;
|
|
16. They called to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us. Hide us from the face of the One who sits on the throne and from the anger of the Lamb!
|
16. And G2532 said G3004 to the G3588 mountains G3735 and G2532 rocks G4073 , Fall G4098 on G1909 us G2248 , and G2532 hide G2928 us G2248 from G575 the face G4383 of him that sitteth G2521 on G1909 the G3588 throne G2362 , and G2532 from G575 the G3588 wrath G3709 of the G3588 Lamb G721 :
|
|
17. The great day for their anger has come, and who can stand against it?" The 144,000 People of Israel
|
17. For G3754 the G3588 great G3173 day G2250 of his G848 wrath G3709 is come G2064 ; and G2532 who G5101 shall be able G1410 to stand G2476 ?
