Grāmatas zīmogi
1 Un es ieraudzīju – Jērs atvēra vienu no septiņiem zīmogiem – un dzirdēju, ka viena no četrām dzīvajām būtnēm sauc skaļā balsī, it kā pērkonam dārdot: nāc! 2 Tad es ieraudzīju, un redzi – balts zirgs, un uz tā sēž kāds, kam šaujamloks rokā; viņam tiek dots vainags, un viņš izjāj kā uzvarētājs – lai uzvarētu. 3 Un, kad Jērs atvēra otru zīmogu, es dzirdēju otru dzīvo būtni saucam: nāc! 4 Tad izjāj cits – ugunīgs zirgs, un tam, kas sēž uz tā, tiek dota vara atņemt zemei mieru, ka cilvēki cits citu apkautu; un viņam tiek dots liels zobens. 5 Un, kad Jērs atvēra trešo zīmogu, es dzirdēju trešo dzīvo būtni saucam: nāc! Tad es ieraudzīju, un redzi – melns zirgs, un tas, kas sēž uz tā, tur rokā svaru kausus. 6 Es dzirdēju it kā balsi četru dzīvo būtņu vidū sakām: mērs kviešu par denāriju vai trīs mēri miežu par denāriju, eļļu un vīnu nesamaitā! 7 Un, kad viņš atlauza ceturto zīmogu, es dzirdēju ceturtās dzīvās būtnes balsi sakām: nāc! 8 Un es ieraudzīju, un redzi – bālganzaļš zirgs, uz tā kāds sēž, un viņa vārds ir nāve, un elle sekoja viņam, un tiem tika dota vara pār ceturto zemes daļu – nokaut ar zobenu un badu, un nāvi, un ar zemes zvēriem. 9 Un, kad viņš atlauza piekto zīmogu, es ieraudzīju zem altāra to dvēseles, kas bija nokauti Dieva vārda un liecināšanas dēļ, no kuras viņi neatkāpās. 10 Viņi sauca skaļā balsī: cik ilgi vēl, svētais un patiesais Kungs, tu netiesāsi zemes iedzīvotājus un neatriebsi mūsu asinis? 11 Visiem viņiem tika dots balts tērps un teikts, lai viņi vēl dus neilgu laiku, kamēr viņi pieaugs skaitā kopā ar tādiem pašiem kalpiem un brāļiem, kas tāpat tiks nokauti. 12 Kad viņš atlauza sesto zīmogu, es ieraudzīju – zeme sāk trīcēt, saule top melna kā saru maiss un viss mēness – kā asinis, 13 un zvaigznes no debesīm krita uz zemes, kā nobirst vīģes no koka stiprā vējā. 14 Un debesis savēlās kā rakstu rullis un pazuda, un visi kalni un salas izkustējās no savām vietām. 15 Tad zemes ķēniņi un augstmaņi, un karavadoņi, un bagātnieki, un varenie, ikviens vergs un brīvais paslēpās alās un kalnu klintīs, 16 un viņi sauca uz kalniem un klintīm: krītiet pār mums un apslēpiet mūs no tā vaiga, kas sēd tronī, un no Jēra dusmām! 17 Pār viņiem ir nākusi lielā dusmu diena, un kurš tajā var pastāvēt?
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?
