1 Et vidi, cum aperuisset Agnus unum de septem sigillis, et audi vi unum dequattuor animalibus dicens tamquam voce tonitrui: “ Veni ”.1 And I saw that the Lamb had opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures, as it were the voice of thunder, saying: Come, and see.
2 Et vidi: etecce equus albus; et, qui sedebat super illum, habebat arcum, et data est eicorona, et exivit vincens et ut vinceret.
2 And I saw: and behold a white horse, and he that sat on him had a bow, and there was a crown given him, and he went forth conquering that he might conquer.
3 Et cum aperuisset sigillum secundum, audivi secundum animal dicens: “ Veni”.3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature, saying: Come, and see.
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 illigladius magnus.
4 And there went out another horse that was red: and to him that sat thereon, it was given that he should take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another, and a great sword was given to him.
5 Et cum aperuisset sigillum tertium, audivi tertium animal dicens: “ Veni ”.Et vidi: et ecce equus niger; et, qui sedebat super eum, habebat stateram inmanu sua.5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying: Come, and see. And behold a black horse, and he that sat on him had a pair of scales in his hand.
6 Et audivi tamquam vocem in medio quattuor animalium dicentem: “Bilibris tritici denario, et tres bilibres hordei denario; et oleum et vinum nelaeseris ”.
6 And I heard as it were a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying: Two pounds of wheat for a penny, and thrice two pounds of barley for a penny, and see thou hurt not the wine and the oil.
7 Et cum aperuisset sigillum quartum, audivi vocem quarti animalis dicentis: “Veni ”.7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature, saying: Come, and see.
8 Et vidi: et ecce equus pallidus; et, qui sedebat desuper, nomen illiMors, et Infernus sequebatur eum; et data est illis potestas super quartampartem terrae interficere gladio et fame et morte et a bestiis terrae.
8 And behold a pale horse, and he that sat upon him, his name was Death, and hell followed him. And power was given to him over the four parts of the earth, to kill with sword, with famine, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
9 Et cum aperuisset quintum sigillum, vidi subtus altare animas interfectorumpropter verbum Dei et propter testimonium, quod habebant.9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held.
10 Et clamaverunt vocemagna dicentes: “ Usquequo, Domine, sanctus et verus, non iudicas et vindicassanguinem nostrum de his, qui habitant in terra? ”.
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying: How long, O Lord (holy and true) dost thou not judge and revenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 Et datae sunt illis singulae stolae albae; et dictum est illis, utrequiescant tempus adhuc modicum, donec impleantur et conservi eorum et fratreseorum, qui interficiendi sunt sicut et illi.
11 And white robes were given to every one of them one; and it was said to them, that they should rest for a little time, till their fellow servants, and their brethren, who are to be slain, even as they, should be filled up.
12 Et vidi, cum aperuisset sigillum sextum, et terraemotus factus est magnus, etsol factus est niger tamquam saccus cilicinus, et luna tota facta est sicutsanguis,12 And I saw, when he had opened the sixth seal, and behold there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair: and the whole moon became as blood:
13 et stellae caeli ceciderunt in terram, sicut ficus mittit grossossuos, cum vento magno movetur,13 And the stars from heaven fell upon the earth, as the fig tree casteth its green figs when it is shaken by a great wind:
14 et caelum recessit sicut liber involutus, etomnis mons et insula de locis suis motae sunt.14 And the heaven departed as a book folded up: and every mountain, and the islands were moved out of their places.
15 Et reges terrae et magnates ettribuni et divites et fortes et omnis servus et liber absconderunt se inspeluncis et in petris montium;15 And the kings of the earth, and the princes, and tribunes, and the rich, and the strong, and every bondman, and every freeman, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of mountains:
16 et dicunt montibus et petris: “ Caditesuper nos et abscondite nos a facie sedentis super thronum et ab ira Agni,16 And they say to the mountains and the rocks: Fall upon us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth upon the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 quoniam venit dies magnus irae ipsorum, et quis poterit stare? ”.
17 For the great day of their wrath is come, and who shall be able to stand?
