Vi cuando el Cordero^a abrió uno de los siete sellos^b, y oí a uno de los cuatro seres vivientes^c que decía, como con voz de trueno^d: Ven¹. 2 Miré, y he aquí, un caballo blanco^a; y el que estaba montado en él tenía un arco; se le dio una corona^b, y salió conquistando y para conquistar^c.

3 Cuando abrió el segundo sello, oí al segundo ser viviente^a que decía: Ven. 4 Entonces salió otro caballo, rojo^a; y al que estaba montado en él se le concedió quitar la paz de la tierra^b y que los hombres se mataran unos a otros; y se le dio una gran espada.

5 Cuando abrió el tercer sello, oí al tercer ser viviente^a que decía: Ven. Y miré, y he aquí, un caballo negro^b; y el que estaba montado en él tenía una balanza en la mano^c. 6 Y oí como una voz en medio de los cuatro seres vivientes^a que decía: Un litro¹ de trigo por un denario², y tres litros³ de cebada por un denario⁴, y no dañes el aceite y el vino^b.

7 Cuando abrió el cuarto sello, oí la voz del cuarto ser viviente^a que decía: Ven. 8 Y miré, y he aquí, un caballo amarillento^1a; y el que estaba montado en él se llamaba Muerte^b; y el Hades^2c lo seguía. Y se les dio autoridad sobre la cuarta parte de la tierra^d, para matar con espada, con hambre, con pestilencia³ y con las fieras de la tierra.

9 Cuando el Cordero abrió el quinto sello, vi debajo^a del altar^b las almas^c de los que habían sido muertos a causa de la palabra de Dios^d y del testimonio que habían mantenido^e; 10 y clamaban a gran voz, diciendo^a: ¿Hasta cuándo, oh Señor^1b santo^c y verdadero, esperarás para juzgar^d y vengar² nuestra sangre de los que moran en la tierra^e? 11 Y se les dio a cada uno una vestidura blanca^a; y se les dijo que descansaran un poco más de tiempo^b, hasta que se completara^c también el número^d de sus consiervos y de sus hermanos que habrían de ser muertos como ellos lo habían sido.

12 Vi cuando el Cordero abrió el sexto sello, y hubo un gran terremoto^a, y el sol se puso negro^b como cilicio^c hecho de cerda, y toda la luna se volvió como sangre, 13 y las estrellas del cielo cayeron a la tierra^a, como la higuera^b deja caer sus higos verdes al ser sacudida por un fuerte viento. 14 Y el cielo desapareció¹ como un pergamino² que se enrolla^a, y todo monte e isla fueron removidos de su lugar^b. 15 Y los reyes de la tierra^a, y los grandes, los comandantes¹, los ricos, los poderosos, y todo siervo y todo libre, se escondieron en las cuevas y entre las peñas de los montes; 16 y decían* a los montes y a las peñas^a: Caed sobre nosotros y escondednos de la presencia¹ del que está sentado en el trono^b y de la ira del Cordero^c, 17 porque ha llegado el gran día de la ira de ellos^a, ¿y quién podrá¹ sostenerse^2b?

Then I saw when the ^aLamb broke one of the ^bseven seals, and I heard one of the ^cfour living creatures saying as with a ^dvoice of thunder, “Come¹!” 2 I looked, and behold, a ^awhite horse, and the one who sat on it had a bow; and ^ba crown was given to him, and he went out ^cconquering and to conquer.

3 When He broke the second seal, I heard the ^asecond living creature saying, “Come¹!” 4 And another, ^aa red horse, went out; and to him who sat on it, it was granted to ^btake peace from the earth, and that people would kill one another; and a large sword was given to him.

5 When He broke the third seal, I heard the ^athird living creature saying, “Come¹!” I looked, and behold, a ^bblack horse, and the one who sat on it had a ^cpair of scales in his hand. 6 And I heard something like a voice in the center of the ^afour living creatures saying, “A ¹quart of wheat for a ²denarius, and three ³quarts of barley for a ⁴denarius; and ^bdo not damage the oil and the wine.”

7 When the Lamb broke the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the ^afourth living creature saying, “Come¹!” 8 I looked, and behold, ¹an ^aashen horse; and the one who sat on it had the name ^bDeath, and ^cHades was following with him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, ^dto kill with sword, and famine, and ²plague, and by the wild animals of the earth.

9 When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw ^aunderneath the ^baltar the ^csouls of those who had been killed ^dbecause of the word of God, and because of the ^etestimony which they had maintained; 10 and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, “^aHow long, O ^1bLord, ^choly and true, ²will You refrain from ^djudging and avenging our blood on ^ethose who live on the earth?” 11 And a ^awhite robe was given to each of them; and they were told that they were to ^brest for a little while longer, ^cuntil the number of their fellow servants and their brothers and sisters who were to be killed even as they had been, was ^dcompleted also.

12 And I looked when He broke the sixth seal, and there was a great ^aearthquake; and the ^bsun became as black as ^csackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood; 13 and ^athe stars of the sky fell to the earth, ^bas a fig tree drops its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind. 14 ^aThe sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up, and ^bevery mountain and island was removed from its place. 15 Then ^athe kings of the earth and the eminent people, and the commanders and the wealthy and the strong, and every slave and free person hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains; 16 and they *^asaid to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the ¹sight of Him ^bwho sits on the throne, and from the ^cwrath of the Lamb; 17 for ^athe great day of Their wrath has come, and ^bwho is able to stand?”

3 When He broke the second seal, I heard the ^asecond living creature saying, “Come¹.” 4 And another, ^aa red horse, went out; and to him who sat on it, it was granted to ^btake peace from the earth, and that men would slay one another; and a great sword was given to him.

7 When the Lamb broke the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the ^afourth living creature saying, “Come¹.” 8 I looked, and behold, an ^1aashen horse; and he who sat on it had the name ^bDeath; and ^cHades was following with him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, ^dto kill with sword and with famine and with ²pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth.

12 I looked when He broke the sixth seal, and there was a great ^aearthquake; and the ^bsun became black as ^csackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood; 13 and ^athe stars of the sky fell to the earth, ^bas a fig tree casts its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind. 14 ^aThe sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up, and ^bevery mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15 Then ^athe kings of the earth and the great men and the ¹commanders and the rich and the strong and every slave and free man hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains; 16 and they *^asaid to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the ¹presence of Him ^bwho sits on the throne, and from the ^cwrath of the Lamb; 17 for ^athe great day of their wrath has come, and ^bwho is able to stand?”
