1 And when it opened the seventh seal, there was silence in the heaven about half an hour.
2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.
3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and much incense was given to him, that he might give {efficacy} to the prayers of all saints at the golden altar which {was} before the throne.
4 And the smoke of the incense went up with the prayers of the saints, out of the hand of the angel before God.
5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it from the fire of the altar, and cast {it} on the earth: and there were voices, and thunders and lightnings, and an earthquake.
6 And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves that they might sound with {their} trumpets.
7 And the first sounded {his} trumpet: and there was 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 {his} trumpet: and as a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea, and the third part of the sea became blood;
9 and the third part of the creatures which were in the sea which had life died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
10 And the third angel sounded {his} trumpet: and there fell out of the heaven a great star, burning as a torch, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters.
11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood; and the third part of the waters became wormwood, and many of the men died of the waters because they were made bitter.
12 And the fourth angel sounded {his} trumpet: and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so that the third part of them should be darkened, and that the day should not appear {for} the third part of it, and the night the same.
13 And I saw, and I heard an eagle flying in mid-heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to them that dwell upon the earth, for the remaining voices of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound.
1 Quando ele abriu o sétimo selo, houve um silêncio no céu quase por meia hora.
2 Vi os sete anjos que estão em pé diante de Deus; e lhes foram dadas sete trombetas.
3 Veio outro anjo e parou diante do altar, tendo um turíbulo de ouro; e foi-lhe dado muito incenso para o ajuntar às orações de todos os santos sobre o altar de ouro, que estava diante do trono.
4 Subiu o fumo do incenso com as orações dos santos da mão do anjo diante de Deus.
5 O anjo tomou o turíbulo, e o encheu do fogo do altar e o lançou sobre a terra; e houve trovões, vozes, relâmpago e terremoto.
6 Os sete anjos que tinham as sete trombetas prepararam-se para as fazer soar.
7 Tocou o primeiro a trombeta. Seguiu-se saraiva e fogo, misturados com sangue, e foram lançados sobre a terra: foi queimada a terça parte da terra, e a terça parte das árvores, e toda a erva verde.
8 O segundo anjo tocou a trombeta. Foi lançado no mar um como grande monte ardendo de fogo; a terça parte do mar tornou-se em sangue,
9 e a terça parte das criaturas que estavam no mar, a saber, das que tinham vida, morreu, e a terça parte dos navios foi destruída.
10 O terceiro anjo tocou a trombeta. Caiu do céu uma grande estrela, ardendo como um facho, e caiu sobre a terça parte dos rios, e sobre as fontes das águas.
11 A estrela é chamada Absinto. A terça parte das águas converteu-se em absinto, e muitos homens morreram pelas águas, porque elas se tornaram amargosas.
12 O quarto anjo tocou a trombeta. Foi ferida a terça parte do sol, a terça parte da lua e a terça parte das estrelas, para que a terça parte deles se escurecesse, e faltasse a terça parte da luz do dia e do mesmo modo da noite.
13 Olhei, e ouvi uma águia que voava pelo meio do céu, dizendo com uma grande voz: Ai, ai, ai dos que habitam sobre a terra por causa das outras vozes da trombeta dos três anjos, que ainda têm de tocar!
