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 saying, in a voice like thunder: “Draw near 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 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 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: “Draw near 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 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 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: “Draw near and see.” And behold, a black horse. And he who was sitting upon it was holding a balance 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 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 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: “Draw near 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 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 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 those who had been slain because of the Word of God and because of the testimony that 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 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 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 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 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 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 et stellae caeli ceciderunt in terram, sicut ficus mittit grossossuos, cum vento magno movetur,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 et caelum recessit sicut liber involutus, etomnis mons et insula de locis suis motae sunt.14 And heaven receded, like a scroll being rolled up. And every mountain, and the islands, were moved from 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 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 et dicunt montibus et petris: “ Caditesuper nos et abscondite nos a facie sedentis super thronum et ab ira Agni,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 quoniam venit dies magnus irae ipsorum, et quis poterit stare? ”.
17 For the great day of their wrath has arrived. And who will be able to stand?”
