I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as with a voice of thunder, "Come."
2 tataḥ param ekaḥ śuklāśco dṛṣṭaḥ, tadārūḍho jano dhanu rdhārayati tasmai ca kirīṭamekam adāyi tataḥ sa prabhavan prabhaviṣyaṁśca nirgatavān|
And I looked, and suddenly there was a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow. A crown was given to him, and he came forth conquering, and to conquer.
3 aparaṁ dvitīyamudrāyāṁ tena mocitāyāṁ dvitīyasya prāṇina āgatya paśyeti vāk mayā śrutā|
When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, "Come."
4 tato 'ruṇavarṇo 'para eko 'śvo nirgatavān tadārohiṇi pṛthivītaḥ śāntyapaharaṇasya lokānāṁ madhye parasparaṁ pratighātotpādanasya ca sāmarthyaṁ samarpitam, eko bṛhatkhaṅgo 'pi tasmā adāyi|
Another came forth, a fiery red horse. To him who sat on it was given power to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another. There was given to him a great sword.
5 aparaṁ tṛtīyamudrāyāṁ tana mocitāyāṁ tṛtīyasya prāṇina āgatya paśyeti vāk mayā śrutā, tataḥ kālavarṇa eko 'śvo mayā dṛṣṭaḥ, tadārohiṇo haste tulā tiṣṭhati
When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, "Come." And I saw, and suddenly there was a black horse and he who sat on it had a balance in his hand.
6 anantaraṁ prāṇicatuṣṭayasya madhyād vāgiyaṁ śrutā godhūmānāmekaḥ seṭako mudrāpādaikamūlyaḥ, yavānāñca seṭakatrayaṁ mudrāpādaikamūlyaṁ tailadrākṣārasāśca tvayā mā hiṁsitavyāḥ|
I heard something like a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three choenixes of barley for a denarius. Do not damage the oil and the wine."
7 anantaraṁ caturthamudrāyāṁ tena mocitāyāṁ caturthasya prāṇina āgatya paśyeti vāk mayā śrutā|
When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living creature saying, "Come."
8 tataḥ pāṇḍuravarṇa eko 'śvo mayā dṛṣṭaḥ, tadārohiṇo nāma mṛtyuriti paralokaśca tam anucarati khaṅgena durbhikṣeṇa mahāmāryyā vanyapaśubhiśca lokānāṁ badhāya pṛthivyāścaturthāṁśasyādhipatyaṁ tasmā adāyi| (Hadēs g86)
And I looked, and suddenly there was a pale horse, and he who sat on it, his name was Death. Hell followed with him. Authority over one fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword, with famine, with death, and by the wild animals of the earth was given to him. (Hadēs g86)
9 anantaraṁ pañcamamudrāyāṁ tena mocitāyām īśvaravākyahetostatra sākṣyadānācca cheditānāṁ lokānāṁ dehino vedyā adho mayādṛśyanta|
When he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of people who had been killed for the Word of God, and for the testimony which they had.
10 ta uccairidaṁ gadanti, he pavitra satyamaya prabho asmākaṁ raktapāte pṛthivīnivāsibhi rvivadituṁ tasya phala dātuñca kati kālaṁ vilambase?
They called out with a loud voice, saying, "How long, Master, the holy and true, until you judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?"
11 tatasteṣām ekaikasmai śubhraḥ paricchado 'dāyi vāgiyañcākathyata yūyamalpakālam arthato yuṣmākaṁ ye sahādāsā bhrātaro yūyamiva ghāniṣyante teṣāṁ saṁkhyā yāvat sampūrṇatāṁ na gacchati tāvad viramata|
A long white robe was given to each of them. They were told that they should rest yet for a little longer, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who would also be killed even as they were, should complete their course.
12 anantaraṁ yadā sa ṣaṣṭhamudrāmamocayat tadā mayi nirīkṣamāṇe mahān bhūkampo 'bhavat sūryyaśca uṣṭralomajavastravat kṛṣṇavarṇaścandramāśca raktasaṅkāśo 'bhavat
I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. The sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became as blood.
13 gaganasthatārāśca prabalavāyunā cālitād uḍumbaravṛkṣāt nipātitānyapakkaphalānīva bhūtale nyapatan|
The stars of the sky fell to the earth, like a fig tree dropping its unripe figs when it is shaken by a great wind.
14 ākāśamaṇḍalañca saṅkucyamānagrantha̮ivāntardhānam agamat giraya upadvīpāśca sarvve sthānāntaraṁ cālitāḥ
The sky was removed like a scroll when it is rolled up. Every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15 pṛthivīsthā bhūpālā mahāllokāḥ sahastrapatayo dhaninaḥ parākramiṇaśca lokā dāsā muktāśca sarvve 'pi guhāsu giristhaśaileṣu ca svān prācchādayan|
The kings of the earth, the princes, the commanding officers, the rich, the strong, and every slave and free person, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains.
16 te ca girīn śailāṁśca vadanti yūyam asmadupari patitvā siṁhāsanopaviṣṭajanasya dṛṣṭito meṣaśāvakasya kopāccāsmān gopāyata;
They told the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb,
17 yatastasya krodhasya mahādinam upasthitaṁ kaḥ sthātuṁ śaknoti?
for the great day of their wrath has come; and who is able to stand?"
