Apocalipsis 6
1 Y vi que el Cordero desabrochó uno de los sellos, y la voz de una de las cuatro bestias llegó a mis oídos, diciendo con una voz de trueno, ven y mira.
I saw that [Jesus, the one who is like a] lamb, opened the first of the seven seals [of the scroll]. Then I heard one of the four living [creatures] say in a voice [as loud] as [SIM] thunder, “Come!”
2 Y vi un caballo blanco, y el que lo montaba, tenía un arco; y le fue dada una corona, y salió venciendo y para vencer.
Then I saw a white horse [come out]. The one who sat on it had a bow [and arrows]. [God] gave him a crown [to show that he was the king]. Then the one who conquers [people] went out to continue to conquer [people].
3 Y cuando se abrió el segundo sello, la voz de la segunda bestia llegó a mis oídos, diciendo: Ven y mira.
When the [one who was like a] lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living [creature] say, “Come!”
4 Y salió otro caballo, un caballo rojo; y le fue dado poder, al que lo montaba se le dio poder para quitar la paz de la tierra, para que la gente se matara entre sí; y le fue dada una gran espada.
Then a red horse came out. The one sitting on it was allowed {[God] allowed the one sitting on it} to cause [people] to no longer [live] peacefully, but instead to be killing each other. [For this purpose] he was given {[God’s agent] gave to him} a large sword.
5 Cuando se abrió el tercer sello, llegó a mis oídos la voz de la tercera bestia, que decía: Ven y mira. Y vi un caballo negro; y el que lo montaba tenía una balanza en la mano.
When [the one who is like a] lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living [creature] say, “Come!” This time, I saw a black horse [come out]. The one who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand.
6 Y vino una voz a mis oídos, de en medio de las cuatro bestias, que decía: Una medida de grano por un denario, y tres medidas de cebada por un denario: y cuida que no hagan daño al aceite y al vino.
I heard a voice [that sounded] like [it was coming from] among the four living [creatures]. It was saying ([to the horseman/to the man who was sitting on the black horse]), “A quart of wheat [will cost so much that] a man must work a whole day to earn enough money to buy it, and three quarts of barley will sell for the same price. But do not cut off [the supply of] olive oil or the wine [MTY]!”
7 Cuando se abrió el cuarto sello, llegó a mis oídos la voz de la cuarta bestia, que decía: Ven y mira.
When the [one who is like a] lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living [creature] say, “Come!”
8 Y vi un caballo gris, y el nombre del que lo montaba era Muerte; y el infierno vino después de él. Y se les dio autoridad sobre la cuarta parte de la tierra, para ser destruidos a espada, con hambre y muerte y con las bestias de la tierra. (Hadēs g86)
This time I saw a pale horse [come out]. The one who sat on it is named ‘[The one who causes] death [PRS]’, and [the one that is named ‘The place where dead people go’] accompanied him. [God] gave them authority over one quarter of the people on earth to incite them to kill each other with weapons [SYN], and also authority to kill them (by [causing them to] starve, by [their causing them to become] sick from epidemics, and by [their causing them to be attacked by] wild animals. (Hadēs g86)
9 Y cuando se quitó el quinto sello, vi debajo del altar las almas de los que habían sido muertos por la palabra de Dios y por el testimonio que guardaban.
When the [one who is like a] lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under (OR, at the base of) the altar [in heaven] the souls of [God’s servants] who had been killed {whom [people had] killed} because of [their believing] God’s message, and because they told others [the message about Jesus].
10 Y dieron un gran clamor, diciendo: ¿Hasta cuándo será, oh Soberano, santo y verdadero, antes de que tomes tu lugar como juez, y castigues nuestra sangre en los que están en la tierra?
They spoke loudly [to God] saying, “Sovereign/Almighty Lord, you are holy and faithful. How long [will it be] before you judge [and punish] the people on earth who murdered [us(exc)]?”
11 Y a cada uno se le dio una túnica blanca, y se les ordenó descansar un poco, hasta que se completara el número de los otros siervos, sus hermanos, que serían ejecutados, tal como habían de ser muertos como ellos.
[God] gave to each of them a long white robe, and [he] told them to rest a little longer until [people] killed all the believers who served [the Lord] with them. They were believers whom [God wanted to die in just the same way] that these others had been killed.
12 Y vi cuando se deshizo el sexto sello, y hubo un gran terremoto; y el sol se puso negro como una tela de cilicio, y toda la luna se volvió como sangre;
I saw that when [the one who is like a] lamb opened the sixth seal, the earth shook violently. The sun became as black as cloth made (of [black] wool/of pitch). The whole moon became [red] [SIM] like blood.
13 Y las estrellas del cielo caían sobre la tierra, como la fruta verde de un árbol ante la fuerza de un gran viento.
The stars fell to the earth [in great numbers], just [SIM] like immature figs fall when a fig tree is shaken by a strong wind {when a strong wind shakes a fig tree}.
14 Y el cielo fue quitado como el rollo de un libro cuando está enrollado; y todas las montañas e islas fueron sacadas de su lugar.
The sky split open and [rolled up on either side] just [SIM] like an [old] scroll rolls up [when it is split in two]. Every mountain and island moved out of its place.
15 Y los reyes de la tierra, y los poderosos, y los jefes militares, y los hombres de la riqueza, y todo siervo y libre, se escondieron en los agujeros y las rocas de las montañas;
[As a result, all the rebellious people] of the earth, [including] kings, high-ranking people, generals, the rich people, the powerful people, along with everyone [else], both slave and free, hid themselves in caves and between the mountain rocks.
16 Y dicen a los montes y a las rocas: Caigan sobre nosotros y escondanos, de la presencia del que está sentado en el trono y de la ira del Cordero,
They shouted to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us [(exc)] and hide us [(exc)] in order that the one who sits upon the throne will not be able to see us [(exc)] [MTY], and [in order that] the [one who is like a] lamb will not be able to punish [MTY] us [(exc)].
17 Porque el gran día de su ira ha venido, y quién podrá resistir?
This is the terrible day on which they will punish [MTY] us [(exc)], and [when that happens], no one will be able to survive! [RHQ]”
