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.

Καὶ εἶδον ὅτε ἤνοιξε τὸ ἀρνίον μίαν ἐκ τῶν ἑπτὰ σφραγίδων· καὶ ἤκουσα ἑνὸς ἐκ τῶν τεσσάρων ζῴων λέγοντος, ὡς φωνὴ βροντῆς· ἔρχου.

И҆ ви́дѣхъ, є҆гда̀ ѿве́рзе а҆́гнецъ є҆ди́нꙋ ѿ седмѝ печа́тей, и҆ слы́шахъ є҆ди́наго ѿ четы́рехъ живо́тныхъ глаго́люща ꙗ҆́коже гла́съ гро́мный: грѧдѝ и҆ ви́ждь.

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.

καὶ εἶδον, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἵππος λευκός, καὶ ὁ καθήμενος ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν ἔχων τόξον· καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ στέφανος, καὶ ἐξῆλθε νικῶν καὶ ἵνα νικήσῃ.

И҆ ви́дѣхъ, и҆ сѐ, ко́нь бѣ́лъ, и҆ сѣдѧ́й на не́мъ и҆мѣ́ѧше лꙋ́къ, и҆ да́нъ бы́сть є҆мꙋ̀ вѣне́цъ: и҆ и҆зы́де побѣжда́ѧй, и҆ да побѣди́тъ.

3

And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.

Καὶ ὅτε ἤνοιξε τὴν σφραγῖδα τὴν δευτέραν, ἤκουσα τοῦ δευτέρου ζῴου λέγοντος· ἔρχου.

И҆ є҆гда̀ ѿве́рзе печа́ть вторꙋ́ю, слы́шахъ второ́е живо́тно глаго́лющее: грѧдѝ и҆ ви́ждь.

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.

καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἄλλος ἵππος πυρρός, καὶ τῷ καθημένῳ ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν ἐδόθη αὐτῷ λαβεῖν τὴν εἰρήνην ἐκ τῆς γῆς καὶ ἵνα ἀλλήλους σφάξωσι, καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ μάχαιρα μεγάλη.

И҆ и҆зы́де дрꙋгі́й ко́нь ры́жь: и҆ сѣдѧ́щемꙋ на не́мъ дано̀ бы́сть взѧ́ти ми́ръ ѿ землѝ, и҆ да ᲂу҆бїю́тъ дрꙋ́гъ дрꙋ́га: и҆ да́нъ бы́сть є҆мꙋ̀ ме́чь вели́кїй.

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.

Καὶ ὅτε ἤνοιξε τὴν σφραγῖδα τὴν τρίτην, ἤκουσα τοῦ τρίτου ζῴου λέγοντος· ἔρχου. καὶ εἶδον, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἵππος μέλας, καὶ ὁ καθήμενος ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν ἔχων ζυγὸν ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ·

И҆ є҆гда̀ ѿве́рзе тре́тїю печа́ть, слы́шахъ тре́тїе живо́тно глаго́лющее: грѧдѝ и҆ ви́ждь. И҆ ви́дѣхъ, и҆ сѐ, ко́нь во́ронъ, и҆ сѣдѧ́й на не́мъ и҆мѣ́ѧше мѣ́рило въ рꙋцѣ̀ свое́й.

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.

καὶ ἤκουσα ὡς φωνὴν ἐν μέσῳ τῶν τεσσάρων ζῴων λέγουσαν· χοῖνιξ σίτου δηναρίου, καὶ τρεῖς χοίνικες κριθῆς δηναρίου· καὶ τὸ ἔλαιον καὶ τὸν οἶνον μὴ ἀδικήσῃς.

И҆ слы́шахъ гла́съ посредѣ̀ четы́рехъ живо́тныхъ глаго́лющїй: мѣ́ра пшени́цы за дина́рь и҆ трѝ мѣ̑ры ꙗ҆чме́нѧ за дина́рь: и҆ є҆ле́а и҆ вїна̀ не вредѝ.

7

And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.

Καὶ ὅτε ἤνοιξε τὴν σφραγῖδα τὴν τετάρτην, ἤκουσα φωνὴν τοῦ τετάρτου ζῴου λέγοντος· ἔρχου.

И҆ є҆гда̀ ѿве́рзе четве́ртꙋю печа́ть, слы́шахъ гла́съ четве́ртагѡ живо́тна глаго́лющїй: грѧдѝ и҆ ви́ждь.

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.

καὶ εἶδον, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἵππος χλωρός, καὶ ὁ καθήμενος ἐπάνω αὐτοῦ, ὄνομα αὐτῷ ὁ θάνατος, καὶ ὁ ᾅδης ἠκολούθει μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ ἐξουσία ἐπὶ τὸ τέταρτον τῆς γῆς, ἀποκτεῖναι ἐν ρομφαίᾳ καὶ ἐν λιμῷ καὶ ἐν θανάτῳ καὶ ὑπὸ τῶν θηρίων τῆς γῆς.

И҆ ви́дѣхъ, и҆ сѐ, ко́нь блѣ́дъ, и҆ сѣдѧ́й на не́мъ, и҆́мѧ є҆мꙋ̀ сме́рть: и҆ а҆́дъ и҆дѧ́ше в̾слѣ́дъ є҆гѡ̀: и҆ дана̀ бы́сть є҆мꙋ̀ ѡ҆́бласть на четве́ртѣй ча́сти землѝ ᲂу҆би́ти ѻ҆рꙋ́жїемъ и҆ гла́домъ, и҆ сме́ртїю и҆ ѕвѣрьмѝ земны́ми.

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:

Καὶ ὅτε ἤνοιξε τὴν πέμπτην σφραγῖδα, εἶδον ὑποκάτω τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου τὰς ψυχὰς τῶν ἐσφαγμένων διὰ τὸν λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ διὰ τὴν μαρτυρίαν τοῦ ἀρνίου ἣν εἶχον·

И҆ є҆гда̀ ѿве́рзе пѧ́тꙋю печа́ть, ви́дѣхъ под̾ ѻ҆лтаре́мъ дꙋ́шы и҆збїе́нныхъ за сло́во бж҃їе и҆ за свидѣ́тельство, є҆́же и҆мѣ́ѧхꙋ.

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?

καὶ ἔκραξαν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ λέγοντες· ἕως πότε, ὁ δεσπότης ὁ ἅγιος καὶ ὁ ἀληθινός, οὐ κρίνεις καὶ ἐκδικεῖς τὸ αἷμα ἡμῶν ἐκ τῶν κατοικούντων ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς;

И҆ возопи́ша гла́сомъ вели́кимъ, глаго́люще: доко́лѣ, влⷣко ст҃ы́й и҆ и҆́стинный, не сꙋ́диши и҆ не мсти́ши кро́ве на́шеѧ ѿ живꙋ́щихъ на землѝ;

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.

καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτοῖς ἑκάστῳ στολὴ λευκή, καὶ ἐρρέθη αὐτοῖς ἵνα ἀναπαύσωνται ἔτι χρόνον μικρόν, ἕως πληρώσωσι καὶ οἱ σύνδουλοι αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν οἱ μέλλοντες ἀποκτέννεσθαι ὡς καὶ αὐτοί.

И҆ даны̀ бы́ша коемꙋ́ждо и҆́хъ ри̑зы бѣлы̑, и҆ рече́но бы́сть и҆̀мъ, да почі́ютъ є҆щѐ вре́мѧ ма́ло, до́ндеже сконча́ютсѧ и҆ клевре́ти и҆́хъ и҆ бра́тїѧ и҆́хъ, и҆мꙋ́щїи и҆збїе́ни бы́ти, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ ті́и.

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;

Καὶ εἶδον ὅτε ἤνοιξε τὴν σφραγῖδα τὴν ἕκτην, καὶ σεισμὸς μέγας ἐγένετο, καὶ ὁ ἥλιος μέλας ἐγένετο ὡς σάκκος τρίχινος, καὶ ἡ σελήνη ὅλη ἐγένετο ὡς αἷμα,

И҆ ви́дѣхъ, є҆гда̀ ѿве́рзе шестꙋ́ю печа́ть, и҆ сѐ, бы́сть трꙋ́съ ве́лїй, и҆ со́лнце мра́чно бы́сть ꙗ҆́кѡ вре́тище вла́сѧно, и҆ лꙋна̀ бы́сть ꙗ҆́кѡ кро́вь:

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.

καὶ οἱ ἀστέρες τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἔπεσαν εἰς τὴν γῆν, ὡς συκῆ βάλλουσα τοὺς ὀλύνθους αὐτῆς, ὑπὸ ἀνέμου μεγάλου σειομένη,

и҆ ѕвѣ́зды небє́сныѧ падо́ша на зе́млю, ꙗ҆́коже смоко́вница ѿмета́етъ пꙋ́пы своѧ̑, ѿ вѣ́тра вели́ка дви́жима:

14

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

καὶ ὁ οὐρανὸς ἀπεχωρίσθη ὡς βιβλίον ἑλισσόμενον, καὶ πᾶν ὄρος καὶ νῆσος ἐκ τῶν τόπων αὐτῶν ἐκινήθησαν·

и҆ не́бо ѿлꙋчи́сѧ ꙗ҆́кѡ сви́токъ свива́емо, и҆ всѧ́ка гора̀ и҆ ѻ҆́стровъ ѿ мѣ́стъ свои́хъ дви́гнꙋшасѧ:

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;

καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς καὶ οἱ μεγιστᾶνες καὶ οἱ χιλίαρχοι καὶ οἱ πλούσιοι καὶ οἱ ἰσχυροὶ καὶ πᾶς δοῦλος καὶ ἐλεύθερος ἔκρυψαν ἑαυτοὺς εἰς τὰ σπήλαια καὶ εἰς τὰς πέτρας τῶν ὀρέων,

и҆ ца́рїе зе́мстїи и҆ вельмѡ́жи, и҆ бога́тїи и҆ ты́сѧщницы и҆ си́льнїи, и҆ всѧ́къ ра́бъ и҆ всѧ́къ свобо́дь скры́шасѧ въ пеще́рахъ и҆ ка́менїи го́рстѣмъ,

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:

καὶ λέγουσι τοῖς ὄρεσι καὶ ταῖς πέτραις· πέσατε ἐφ᾿ ἡμᾶς καὶ κρύψατε ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ καθημένου ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς ὀργῆς τοῦ ἀρνίου,

и҆ глаго́лаша гора́мъ и҆ ка́менїю: пади́те на ны̀ и҆ покры́йте ны̀ ѿ лица̀ сѣдѧ́щагѡ на прⷭ҇то́лѣ и҆ ѿ гнѣ́ва а҆́гнча:

17

For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

ὅτι ἦλθεν ἡ ἡμέρα ἡ μεγάλη τῆς ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ τίς δύναται σταθῆναι;

ꙗ҆́кѡ прїи́де де́нь вели́кїй гнѣ́ва є҆гѡ̀, и҆ кто̀ мо́жетъ ста́ти;
