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 had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. 2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. 3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. 4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand. 5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake. 6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of 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 the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed. 10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, 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 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; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise. 13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!
