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.

1 And when the seventh stamp was undone there was quiet in heaven for about half an hour.

2 And I saw the seven angels who had their place before God; and seven horns were given to them.

3 And another angel came and took his place at the altar, having a gold vessel for burning perfume; and there was given to him much perfume, so that he might put it with the prayers of all the saints on the gold altar which was before the high seat.

4 And the smoke of the perfume, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel's hand.

5 And the angel took the vessel; and he made it full of the fire of the altar, and sent it down on the earth: and there came thunders and voices and flames and a shaking of the earth.

6 And the seven angels who had the seven horns made ready for sounding them.

7 And at the sounding of the first, a rain of ice and fire, mixed with blood, was sent on the earth: and a third part of the earth, and of the trees, and all green grass was burned up.

8 And at the sounding of the second angel, it was as if a great mountain burning with fire was sent into the sea: and a third part of the sea became blood,

9 And destruction came on a third part of the living things which were in the sea, and on a third part of the ships.

10 And at the sounding of the third angel, there went down from heaven a great star, burning like a flame, and it came on a third part of the rivers, and on the fountains of water.

11 And the name of the star is Wormwood: and a third part of the waters became bitter; and a number of men came to their end because of the waters, for they were made bitter.

12 And at the sounding of the fourth angel, a third part of the sun, and of the moon, and of the stars was made dark, so that there was no light for a third part of the day and of the night.

13 And there came to my ears the cry of an eagle in flight in the middle of heaven, saying with a great voice, Trouble, trouble, trouble, to all on the earth, because of the other voices of the horns of the three angels, whose sounding is still to come.
