Apocalisse 6

DIODATI	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 POI vidi, quando l’Agnello ebbe aperto l’uno de’ sette suggelli; ed io udii uno de’ quattro animali, che diceva, a guisa che fosse stata la voce d’un 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 Ed io vidi, ed ecco un caval bianco; e colui che lo cavalcava avea un arco; e gli fu data una corona, ed egli uscì fuori vincitore, ed acciocchè vincesse	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 E quando egli ebbe aperto il secondo suggello, io udii 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 E uscì fuori un altro cavallo sauro; ed a colui che lo cavalcava fu dato di toglier la pace dalla terra, acciocchè gli uomini si uccidessero gli uni gli altri; 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 E quando egli ebbe aperto il terzo suggello, io udii il terzo animale, che diceva: Vieni, e vedi. Ed io vidi, ed ecco un caval morello; e colui che lo cavalcava avea una bilancia in mano.	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 Ed io udii una voce, in mezzo de’ quattro animali, che diceva; La chenice del frumento per un danaro, e le tre chenici d’orzo per un danaro; e non danneggiare il vino, nè l’olio.	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 egli ebbe aperto il quarto suggello, io udii 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 io vidi, ed ecco un caval fulvo; e colui che lo cavalcava avea nome la Morte; e dietro ad essa seguitava l’Inferno; e fu loro data podestà sopra la quarta parte della terra, da uccider con ispada, con fame, e con mortalità, e per le fiere della terra	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 egli ebbe aperto il quinto suggello, io vidi disotto all’altare le anime degli uomini uccisi per la parola di Dio, e per la testimonianza dell’Agnello, che avevano 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 E gridarono con gran voce, dicendo: Infino a quando, o Signore, che sei il santo, e il verace, non fai tu giudicio, e non vendichi tu il nostro sangue sopra coloro che abitano sopra 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 furono date a ciascuna d’esse delle stole bianche, e fu loro detto che si riposassero ancora un poco di tempo, infino a tanto che fosse ancora compiuto il numero de’ lor conservi, e de’ lor fratelli, che hanno da essere uccisi, com’essi.	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 Poi vidi quando egli ebbe aperto il sesto suggello; ed ecco, si fece un gran tremoto, e il sole divenne nero, come un sacco di crine; e la luna divenne tutta come 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 del cielo caddero in terra, come quando il fico, scosso da un gran vento, lascia cadere i suoi ficucci.	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 una pergamena che si rotola; e ogni montagna ed isola fu mossa dal suo luogo.	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 grandi, e i capitani, e i ricchi, e i possenti, ed ogni servo, ed ogni libero, si nascosero nelle spelonche, e nelle rocce de’ monti.	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 dicevano a’ monti, ed alle rocce: Cadeteci addosso, e nascondeteci dal cospetto di colui che siede sopra il 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 perciocchè è venuto il gran giorno della sua ira; e chi potrà durare?	17 For the great day of their wrath has arrived. And who will be able to stand?”
