Apocalypsis 6
1 Et vidi quod aperuisset Agnus unum de septem sigillis, et audivi unum de quattuor animalibus, dicens, tamquam vocem tonitrui: Veni, et vide.
Then I watched as the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say in a thunderous voice, “Come!”
2 Et vidi: et ecce equus albus, et qui sedebat super illum habebat arcum, et data est ei corona, et exivit vincens ut vinceret.
So I looked and saw a white horse, and its rider held a bow. And he was given a crown, and he rode out to overcome and conquer.
3 Et cum aperuisset sigillum secundum, audivi secundum animal, dicens: Veni, et vide.
And when the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!”
4 Et exivit alius equus rufus: et qui sedebat super illum, datum est ei ut sumeret pacem de terra, et ut invicem se interficiant, et datus est ei gladius magnus.
Then another horse went forth. It was bright red, and its rider was granted permission to take away peace from the earth and to make men slay one another. And he was given a great sword.
5 Et cum aperuisset sigillum tertium, audivi tertium animal, dicens: Veni, et vide. Et ecce equus niger: et qui sedebat super illum, habebat stateram in manu sua.
And when the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” Then I looked and saw a black horse, and its rider held in his hand a pair of scales.
6 Et audivi tamquam vocem in medio quattuor animalium dicentium: Bilibris tritici denario uno, et tres bilibres hordei denario uno, et vinum, et oleum ne laeseris.
And I heard what sounded like a voice from among the four living creatures, saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not harm the oil and wine.”
7 Et cum aperuisset sigillum quartum, audivi vocem quarti animalis dicentis: Veni, et vide.
And when the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!”
8 Et ecce equus pallidus: et qui sedebat super eum, nomen illi Mors, et infernus sequebatur eum, et data est illi potestas super quattuor partes terrae, interficere gladio, fame, et morte, et bestiis terrae. (Hadēs g86)
Then I looked and saw a pale green horse. Its rider’s name was Death, and Hades followed close behind. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill by sword, by famine, by plague, and by the beasts of the earth. (Hadēs g86)
9 Et cum aperuisset sigillum quintum: vidi subtus altare animas interfectorum propter verbum Dei, et propter testimonium, quod habebant,
And when the Lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony they had upheld.
10 et clamabant voce magna, dicentes: Usquequo Domine, (sanctus, et verus) non iudicas, et non vindicas sanguinem nostrum de iis, qui habitant in terra?
And they cried out in a loud voice, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You avenge our blood and judge those who dwell upon the earth?”
11 Et datae sunt illis singulae stolae albae: et dictum est illis ut requiescerent adhuc tempus modicum donec compleantur conservi eorum, et fratres eorum, qui interficiendi sunt sicut et illi.
Then each of them was given a white robe and told to rest a little while longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers, were killed, just as they had been killed.
12 Et vidi cum aperuisset sigillum sextum: et ecce terraemotus magnus factus est, et sol factus est niger tamquam saccus cilicinus: et luna tota facta est sicut sanguis:
And when I saw the Lamb open the sixth seal, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black like sackcloth of goat hair, and the whole moon turned blood red,
13 et stellae de caelo ceciderunt super terram, sicut ficus emittit grossos suos cum a vento magno movetur.
and the stars of the sky fell to the earth like unripe figs dropping from a tree shaken by a great wind.
14 et caelum recessit sicut liber involutus: et omnis mons, et insulae de locis suis motae sunt:
The sky receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved from its place.
15 et reges terrae, et principes, et tribuni, et divites, et fortes, et omnis servus, et liber absconderunt se in speluncis, et in petris montium:
Then the kings of the earth, the nobles, the commanders, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and free man hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains.
16 et dicunt montibus, et petris: Cadite super nos, et abscondite nos a facie sedentis super thronum, et ab ira Agni:
And they said to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of the One seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb.
17 quoniam venit dies magnus irae ipsorum: et quis poterit stare?
For the great day of Their wrath has come, and who is able to withstand it?”
