1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one from(=of) the seven seals, and I heard one from(=of) the four living creatures saying, as (with) a voice of thunder, “Come and See1!”

2 And I saw, and behold, a white horse and the one sitting on it, having(=who had) a bow. And a crown was given to him. And he came out conquering and that he might conquer.

3 And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come and See2!”

4 And another horse, red one, came out. And to the one sitting on it was given [to him] to take [the] peace from the earth, and that they will(=should) slay one other; and a great sword was given to him.

5 And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, “Come and See3!” And I saw, and behold, a black horse and the one sitting on it having(=who had) a pair of scales in his hand.

6 And I heard as(=what seemed to be) a voice in the middle of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat (for) a denarius, and three quarts of barley (for) a denarius; and(=but) do not damage the oil and the wine!”

7 And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard a voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come and See4!”

8 And I saw, and behold, a yellow-green(=pale) horse and the one sitting on it. Name to him (was) Death. And the Hades was following with him. And to them was given authority over the(=a) fourth of the earth, to kill in(=with) sword and in(=with) famine and in(=with) death and by the beasts of the earth.

9 And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of the ones having been slain because of the word of God and [because of] the testimony that they were having.

10 And they cried (with) a great voice, saying, “Master, holy and true, until when do you not judge and avenge our blood from(=on) the ones dwelling on the earth?”

11 And to each of them was given a white robe, and it was said (to) them that they will(=should) rest a little time(=longer), until both their fellow slaves and their brothers being about to be killed should be fulfilled as they (themselves had been killed).

12 And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and (there) was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the whole moon became like blood,

13 and the stars of [the] heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree casts(=drops) its unripe figs(=winter fruits) (when) being shaken by a great(=strong) wind,

14 and the heaven(=sky) was parted(=departed) as a scroll(=book) being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from their places(=its place),

15 and the kings of the earth and the magnates(=great men) and the generals and the rich and the powerful and every slave and (every) free man hid themselves in the caves and into the rocks of the mountains,

16 and they say(=said) (to) the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from (the) face of the One sitting on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!”

17 “For the great day of their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”
