Apocalypsis Ioannis

Apocalypsis, chapter 6, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 6 Vulgate

   1 Et vidi, cum aperuisset Agnus unum de septem sigillis, et audi vi unum de quattuor animalibus dicens tamquam voce tonitrui: "Veni".
   2 Et vidi: et ecce equus albus; et, qui sedebat super illum, habebat arcum, et data est ei corona, et exivit vincens et ut vinceret.
   3 Et cum aperuisset sigillum secundum, audivi secundum animal dicens: "Veni".
   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 illi gladius magnus.
   5 Et cum aperuisset sigillum tertium, audivi tertium animal dicens: "Veni". Et vidi: et ecce equus niger; et, qui sedebat super eum, habebat stateram in manu sua.
   6 Et audivi tamquam vocem in medio quattuor animalium dicentem: "Bilibris tritici denario, et tres bilibres hordei denario; et oleum et vinum ne laeseris ".
   7 Et cum aperuisset sigillum quartum, audivi vocem quarti animalis dicentis: "Veni".
   8 Et vidi: et ecce equus pallidus; et, qui sedebat desuper, nomen illi Mors, et Infernus sequebatur eum; et data est illis potestas super quartam partem terrae interficere gladio et fame et morte et a bestiis terrae.
   9 Et cum aperuisset quintum sigillum, vidi subtus altare animas interfectorum propter verbum Dei et propter testimonium, quod habebant.
   10 Et clamaverunt voce magna dicentes: "Usquequo, Domine, sanctus et verus, non iudicas et vindicas sanguinem nostrum de his, qui habitant in terra? ".
   11 Et datae sunt illis singulae stolae albae; et dictum est illis, ut requiescant tempus adhuc modicum, donec impleantur et conservi eorum et fratres eorum, qui interficiendi sunt sicut et illi.
   12 Et vidi, cum aperuisset sigillum sextum, et terraemotus factus est magnus, et sol factus est niger tamquam saccus cilicinus, et luna tota facta est sicut sanguis,
   13 et stellae caeli ceciderunt in terram, sicut ficus mittit grossos suos, cum vento magno movetur,
   14 et caelum recessit sicut liber involutus, et omnis mons et insula de locis suis motae sunt.
   15 Et reges terrae et magnates et tribuni et divites et fortes et omnis servus et liber absconderunt se in speluncis et in petris montium;
   16 et dicunt montibus et petris: "Cadite super nos et abscondite nos a facie sedentis super thronum et ab ira Agni,
   17 quoniam venit dies magnus irae ipsorum, et quis poterit stare?".

King James Version

   1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
   2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
   3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
   4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
   5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
   6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
   7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
   8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them 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 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
   10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
   11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
   12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
   13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
   14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
   15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
   16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
   17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
