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, enfim, abriu o sétimo selo, fez-se silêncio no céu cerca de meia hora.

2 Eu vi os sete Anjos que assistem diante de Deus. Foram-lhes dadas sete trombetas.

3 Adiantou-se outro anjo e pôs-se junto ao altar, com um turíbulo de ouro na mão. Foram-lhe dados muitos perfumes, para que os oferecesse com as orações de todos os santos no altar de ouro, que está adiante do trono.

4 A fumaça dos perfumes subiu da mão do anjo com as orações dos santos, diante de Deus.

5 Depois disso, o anjo tomou o turíbulo, encheu-o de brasas do altar e lançou-o por terra; e houve trovões, vozes, relâmpagos e terremotos.

6 Então os sete Anjos, que tinham as trombetas, prepararam-se para tocar.

7 O primeiro anjo tocou. Saraiva e fogo, misturados com sangue, foram lançados à terra; e queimou-se uma terça parte da terra, uma terça parte das árvores e toda erva verde.

8 O segundo anjo tocou. Caiu então no mar como que grande montanha, ardendo em fogo, e transformou-se em sangue uma terça parte do mar,

9 morreu uma terça parte das criaturas que estavam no mar e pereceu uma terça parte dos navios.

10 O terceiro anjo tocou a trombeta. Caiu então do céu uma grande estrela a arder como um facho; caiu sobre a terça parte dos rios e sobre as fontes.

11 O nome da estrela era Absinto. Assim, uma terça parte das águas transformou-se em absinto e muitos homens morreram por ter bebido dessas águas envenenadas.

12 O quarto anjo tocou. Foi atingida então uma terça parte do sol, da lua e das estrelas, de modo que se obscureceram em um terço; e o dia perdeu um terço da claridade, bem como a noite.

13 A esta altura de minha visão, eu ouvi uma águia que voava pelo meio dos céus, clamando em alta voz: Ai, ai, ai dos habitantes da terra, por causa dos restantes sons das trombetas dos três Anjos que ainda vão tocar.
