[Revelation 6]

 

             ^6:1 And I saw that the Lamb opened one out-of the seven seals and I heard one out-of the four living creatures saying like a voice of thunder, Come and behold! ^6:2 And behold a white horse and he who sits upon it holding a bow, and a crown was given to him and he came forth overcoming and in-order-that he might overcome.

 

             ^6:3 And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, Come. ^6:4 And another fiery horse came forth, and to the one sitting upon it was given to take peace out-of the earth, in-order-that they should slaughter one another and a great sword was given to him.

 

             ^6:5 And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, Come and behold! And behold, a black horse and he who sits upon it has a balance in his hand. ^6:6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, A liter-container of grain for a denarius and three liter-containers of barley for a denarius, and do not hurt the oil and the wine.

 

             ^6:7 And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living creature saying, Come and behold! ^6:8 And behold, a pale-green horse and he who sits upon him, his name was Death, and Hades was following with him. And authority over the fourth part of the earth was given to him to kill with^* a long-sword, and with^* famine, and with^* death, and by the beasts of the earth.

 

             ^6:9 And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of the ones who have been slaughtered because of the word of God and because of the testimony of the Lamb which they were holding to. ^6:10 And they cried out with a loud voice, saying, Until when, holy and true^* Master, do you not judge and avenge our blood from the ones dwelling upon the earth? ^6:11 And a white robe was given to each, and it was said to them in-order-that they should still rest themselves for a time until both their fellow bondservants and their brothers and the ones who are about to be killed as they themselves also should be fulfilled.

 

             ^6:12 And I saw when he opened the sixth seal and a great earthquake happened, and the sun became black like hairy sackcloth and the whole moon became like blood; ^6:13 and the stars of the heaven fell to the earth, like a fig tree, having cast its unripe figs while being shaken by a great wind. ^6:14 And the heaven departed like a scroll being coiled up, and every mountain and every island were moved out-of their places. ^6:15 And the kings of the earth and the great-men and the commanders and the rich and the strong and every bondservant and free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains; ^6:16 and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, Fall^° upon us and hide^° us from the face of the one sitting upon the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb, ^6:17 because the great day of his wrath came, and who is able to stand?
