Di Lamb Open di Seals
Riders dey go out one by one: conquest, killing, one day pay for one loaf of bread, then Death. Under di altar, di martyrs ask di Sovereign Papa how long, and dem tell dem make dem wait small again. For di sixth seal di powerful people hide and beg di rock dem make dem fall on top dem.
6 1I watch Jesus, di Lamb, as e open one of di seven seals, and I hear one of di four living creatures talk, wit voice wey loud like thunder, “Come!” 2I look: na white horse, di person wey ride am hold bow. Dem give am crown, and e ride comot dey conquer, so e go fit conquer finish.
3Wen di Lamb open di second seal, I hear di second living creature talk, “Come!” 4Anoda horse wey red like fire comot. Dem give di person wey ride am power to take peace comot for di earth, so people go dey kill demsef, and dem give am one big sword.
5Wen di Lamb open di third seal, I hear di third living creature talk, “Come!” I look—na black horse, di person wey ride am hold weighing scale for im hand. 6For inside di four living creatures I hear something like voice: “One measure of wheat na di whole day pay, three measure of barley na di whole day pay—no spoil di oil and di wine!”
7Wen di Lamb open di fourth seal, I hear di voice of di fourth living creature talk, “Come!” 8I see one horse wey im colour don pale. Di person wey ride am, im name na Death, and Grave dey follow am for back. Dem give Death and Grave power over one part for four of di earth, to kill wit sword, wit hunger, wit sickness wey dey kill, and wit di wild animals for ground.
9Wen e open di fifth seal, I see under di altar di souls of dose wey dem kill because of di word of our Papa and di testimony wey dem hold tight. 10Dem shout, “Papa wey get all power, you wey holy and true, e go tey reach how far before you go judge and pay back for our blood on top di people wey dey live for earth?” a a v10 ‘Sovereign’ na di title wey di New Testament keep only for di supreme authority of our Papa — di people wey dem kill for dia faith dey call on am as di One wey hold all power to set everything correct. 11Dem give each of dem white cloth, and dem tell dem make dem rest small time more, until di number of dia fellow servants and dia brothers and sisters—dose wey dem go still kill like dem—go complete.
12I watch di Lamb open di sixth seal: one big earthquake happen, di sun turn black like black cloth wey dem make wit rough hair, di full moon turn red like blood, 13and di stars for heaven fall come ground, like how fig tree dey drop im fruit wey never ripe wen strong wind shake am. 14Di sky roll comot like dem dey roll paper, and dem move every mountain and every island comot from dia place. 15Di kings of di earth, di big-big people, di army commanders, di rich people, di strong people, every slave and every free person, hide demsef inside cave and inside di rocks for mountain. 16Dem tell di mountains and di rocks, “Fall on top us, hide us from di face of God wey sidon for di throne, and from di anger of di Lamb! 17Because di great day of di anger of God and di anger of di Lamb don come, and who fit stand am?”
