Apocalisse 6

BIBBIA TINTORI	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 E vidi che l'Agnello aveva aperto uno dei sette sigilli, e sentii uno dei quattro animali che diceva con voce di tuono: Vieni e vedi.	1 And I saw that the Lamb had opened one of the seven seals. And I heard one of the four living creatures saying, in a voice like thunder: “Draw near and see.”
2 E mirai: ed ecco un cavallo bianco, e colui che v'era sopra aveva un arco, e gli fu donata una corona, e partì vincitore per vincere.	2 And I saw, and behold, a white horse. And he who was sitting upon it was holding a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he went forth conquering, so that he might prevail.
3 Quando aperse il secondo sigillo, sentii il secondo animale che diceva: Vieni e vedi.	3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying: “Draw near and see.”
4 Ed uscì un altro cavallo che era rosso, e a colui che v'era sopra fu dato di togliere la pace dalla terra, affinchè gli uomini s'ammazzassero fra di loro, e gli fu data una grande spada.	4 And another horse went forth, which was red. And it was granted to him who was sitting upon it that he would take peace from the earth, and that they would kill one another. And a great sword was given to him.
5 Quando aperse il terzo sigillo, sentii il terzo animale che diceva: Vieni e vedi. Ed ecco un cavallo nero, e chi v'era sopra aveva in mano una bilancia.	5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying: “Draw near and see.” And behold, a black horse. And he who was sitting upon it was holding a balance in his hand.
6 E in mezzo ai quattro animali udii come una voce che diceva: Una misura di grano per un denaro, e tre misure d'orzo per un denaro; e non toccare l'olio e il vino.	6 And I heard something like a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A double measure of wheat for a denarius, and three double measures of barley for a denarius, but do no harm to wine and oil.”
7 E quando aperse il quarto sigillo, sentii la voce del quarto animale che diceva: Vieni e vedi.	7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying: “Draw near and see.”
8 Ed ecco un cavallo pallido, e chi vi stava sopra si chiamava « morte » e gli teneva dietro l'inferno, e gli fu data potestà soprale quattro parti della terra per uccidere colla spada, colla fame, colla mortalità e colle bestie feroci.	8 And behold, a pale horse. And he who was sitting upon it, his name was Death, and Hell was following him. And authority was given to him over the four parts of the earth, to destroy by the sword, by famine, and by death, and by the creatures of the earth.
9 E quando aperse il quinto sigillo vidi sotto l'altare le anime di quelli che erano stati uccisi per la parola di Dio e per la testimonianza che avevan resa.	9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw, under the altar, the souls of those who had been slain because of the Word of God and because of the testimony that they held.
10 Ed essi gridarono a gran voce, dicendo: Fino a quando, o Signore santo e verace, indugerai a far giustizia e a vendicare il nostro sangue sopra coloro che abitano la terra?	10 And they were crying out with a loud voice, saying: “How long, O Holy and True Lord, will you not judge and not vindicate our blood against those who dwell upon the earth?”
11 E fu data a ciascuno di essi una veste bianca, e fu detto loro di darsi pace per un altro poco di tempo, fino a tanto che non fosse compito il numero dei loro conservi e dei loro fratelli che dovevano essere come loro trucidati.	11 And white robes were given to each of them. And they were told that they should rest for a brief time, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who were to be slain even as they were slain, would be completed.
12 E quando vidi aprire il sesto sigillo, ecco venire un gran terremoto, e il sole diventò nero come un sacco di Cilicia; e la luna diventò tutta come di sangue;	12 And when he had opened the sixth seal, I saw, and behold, a great earthquake occurred. And the sun became black, like a haircloth sack, and the entire moon became like blood.
13 e le stelle dal cielo caddero sulla terra, come i fichi acerbi dal fico scosso da gran vento.	13 And the stars from heaven fell upon the earth, just as when a fig tree, shaken by a great wind, drops its immature figs.
14 E il cielo si ritirò come un libro quando si ravvolge, ed ogni monte e le isole furono spostate.	14 And heaven receded, like a scroll being rolled up. And every mountain, and the islands, were moved from their places.
15 E i re della terra, e i principi, e i tribuni, e i ricchi, e i potenti, e tutti quanti servi e liberi, si nascosero nelle spelonche e tra i massi delle montagne.	15 And the kings of the earth, and the rulers, and the military leaders, and the wealthy, and the strong, and everyone, servant and free, hid themselves in caves and among the rocks of the mountains.
16 E dicono ai monti e ai massi: Cadeteci addosso: nascondeteci dalla faccia dell'assiso sul trono e dall'ira dell'Agnello;	16 And they said to the mountains and the rocks: “Fall over us and hide us from the face of the One sitting upon the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb.
17 perché è venuto il gran giorno della loro ira, e chi potrà reggervi?	17 For the great day of their wrath has arrived. And who will be able to stand?”
