1 O bservei quando o Cordeiro abriu o primeiro dos sete selos. Então ouvi um dos seres viventes dizer com voz de trovão: “Venha!”

¶ And I saw when the Lamb had opened the first seal, and I heard the first of the four animals, saying as with a voice of thunder, Come and see.

2 O lhei, e diante de mim estava um cavalo branco. Seu cavaleiro empunhava um arco, e foi-lhe dada uma coroa; ele cavalgava como vencedor determinado a vencer.

And I saw and, behold, a white horse; and he that was seated upon him had a bow, and a crown was given unto him, and he went forth victorious, that he might also overcome.

3 Q uando o Cordeiro abriu o segundo selo, ouvi o segundo ser vivente dizer: “Venha!”

¶ And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second animal, which said, Come and see.

4 E ntão saiu outro cavalo; e este era vermelho. Seu cavaleiro recebeu poder para tirar a paz da terra e fazer que os homens se matassem uns aos outros. E lhe foi dada uma grande espada.

And another horse went forth that was red, and unto him that was seated thereon was given power to take away the peace of the earth and that they should kill one another; and there was given unto him a great sword.

5 Q uando o Cordeiro abriu o terceiro selo, ouvi o terceiro ser vivente dizer: “Venha!” Olhei, e diante de mim estava um cavalo preto. Seu cavaleiro tinha na mão uma balança.

And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third animal, which said, Come and see. And I saw and, behold, a black horse, and he that was seated upon him had a yoke in his hand.

6 E ntão ouvi o que parecia uma voz entre os quatro seres viventes, dizendo: “Um quilo de trigo por um denário, e três quilos de cevada por um denário, e não danifique o azeite e o vinho!”

And I heard a voice in the midst of the four animals, which said, A choenix of wheat for a denarius and three choenix of barley for a denarius; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

7 Q uando o Cordeiro abriu o quarto selo, ouvi a voz do quarto ser vivente dizer: “Venha!”

And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth animal, which said, Come and see.

8 O lhei, e diante de mim estava um cavalo amarelo. Seu cavaleiro chamava-se Morte, e o Hades o seguia de perto. Foi-lhes dado poder sobre um quarto da terra para matar pela espada, pela fome, por pragas e por meio dos animais selvagens da terra.

And I looked and, behold, a green horse, and he that was seated upon him was named Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given unto him over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword and with hunger and with death and with the beasts of the earth.

9 Q uando ele abriu o quinto selo, vi debaixo do altar as almas daqueles que haviam sido mortos por causa da palavra de Deus e do testemunho que deram.

¶ And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those that had been slain because of the word of God and for the testimony which they held:

10 E les clamavam em alta voz: “Até quando, ó Soberano, santo e verdadeiro, esperarás para julgar os habitantes da terra e vingar o nosso sangue?”

And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on those that dwell in the earth?

11 E ntão cada um deles recebeu uma veste branca, e foi-lhes dito que esperassem um pouco mais, até que se completasse o número dos seus conservos e irmãos, que deveriam ser mortos como eles.

And white robes were given unto each one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little while until their fellow servants and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

12 O bservei quando ele abriu o sexto selo. Houve um grande terremoto. O sol ficou escuro como tecido de crina negra, toda a lua tornou-se vermelha como sangue,

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 moon became as blood;

13 e as estrelas do céu caíram sobre a terra como figos verdes caem da figueira quando sacudidos por um vento forte.

and the stars of heaven fell upon the earth, even as a fig tree casts her figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

14 O céu foi se recolhendo como se enrola um pergaminho, e todas as montanhas e ilhas foram removidas de seus lugares.

And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

15 E ntão os reis da terra, os príncipes, os generais, os ricos, os poderosos — todos, escravos e livres, esconderam-se em cavernas e entre as rochas das montanhas.

And the kings of the earth and the princes and the rich and the captains and the strong and every slave and every free man hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains

16 E les gritavam às montanhas e às rochas: “Caiam sobre nós e escondam-nos da face daquele que está assentado no trono e da ira do Cordeiro!

and said to the mountains and to the rocks, Fall on us and hide us from the face of him that is seated upon the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb;

17 P ois chegou o grande dia da ira deles; e quem poderá suportar?”

for the great day of his wrath is come, and who shall be able to stand before him?
