1 E, havendo aberto o sétimo selo, fez-se silêncio no céu quase por meia hora.
2 E vi os sete anjos, que estavam diante de Deus, e foram-lhes dadas sete trombetas.
3 E veio outro anjo, e pôs-se junto ao altar, tendo um incensário de ouro; e foi-lhe dado muito incenso, para o pôr com as orações de todos os santos sobre o altar de ouro, que está diante do trono.
4 E a fumaça do incenso subiu com as orações dos santos desde a mão do anjo até diante de Deus.
5 E o anjo tomou o incensário, e o encheu do fogo do altar, e o lançou sobre a terra; e houve depois vozes, e trovões, e relâmpagos e terremotos.
6 E os sete anjos, que tinham as sete trombetas, prepararam-se para tocá-las.
7 E o primeiro anjo tocou a sua trombeta, e houve saraiva e fogo misturado com sangue, e foram lançados na terra, que foi queimada na sua terça parte; queimou-se a terça parte das árvores, e toda a erva verde foi queimada.
8 E o segundo anjo tocou a trombeta; e foi lançada no mar uma coisa como um grande monte ardendo em fogo, e tornou-se em sangue a terça parte do mar.
9 E morreu a terça parte das criaturas que tinham vida no mar; e perdeu-se a terça parte das naus.
10 E o terceiro anjo tocou a sua trombeta, e caiu do céu uma grande estrela ardendo como uma tocha, e caiu sobre a terça parte dos rios, e sobre as fontes das águas.
11 E o nome da estrela era Absinto, e a terça parte das águas tornou-se em absinto, e muitos homens morreram das águas, porque se tornaram amargas.
12 E o quarto anjo tocou a sua trombeta, e foi ferida a terça parte do sol, e a terça parte da lua, e a terça parte das estrelas; para que a terça parte deles se escurecesse, e a terça parte do dia não brilhasse, e semelhantemente a noite.
13 E olhei, e ouvi um anjo voar pelo meio do céu, dizendo com grande voz: Ai! ai! ai! dos que habitam sobre a terra! por causa das outras vozes das trombetas dos três anjos que hão de ainda tocar.
1 And when he opened the seventh seal, there followed a silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. 2 And I saw the seven angels that stand before God; and there were given unto them seven trumpets.
3 And another angel came and stood over the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should add it unto the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. 4 And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel’s hand. 5 And the angel taketh the censer; and he filled it with the fire of the altar, and cast it upon the earth: and there followed thunders, and voices, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
6 And the seven angels that had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
7 And the first sounded, and there followed hail and fire, mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of the earth was burnt up, and the third part of the trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; 9 and there died the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, even they that had life; and the third part of the ships was destroyed.
10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell from heaven a great star, burning as a torch, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of the waters; 11 and the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; that the third part of them should be darkened, and the day should not shine for the third part of it, and the night in like manner.
13 And I saw, and I heard an eagle, flying in mid heaven, saying with a great voice, Woe, woe, woe, for them that dwell on the earth, by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, who are yet to sound.
