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!

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.
