1 Quando abriu o sétimo selo, fez-se silêncio no céu, quase por meia hora.
2 E vi os sete anjos que estavam em pé diante de Deus, e lhes foram dadas sete trombetas.
3 Veio outro anjo, e pôs-se junto ao altar, tendo um incensário de ouro; e foi-lhe dado muito incenso, para que o oferecesse com as orações de todos os santos sobre o altar de ouro que está diante do trono.
4 E da mão do anjo subiu diante de Deus a fumaça do incenso com as orações dos santos.
5 Depois do anjo tomou o incensário, encheu-o do fogo do altar e o lançou sobre a terra; e houve trovões, vozes, relâmpagos e terremoto.
6 Então os sete anjos que tinham as sete trombetas prepararam-se para tocar.
7 O primeiro anjo tocou a sua trombeta, e houve saraiva e fogo misturado com sangue, que foram lançados na terra; e foi queimada a terça parte da terra, a terça parte das árvores, e toda a erva verde.
8 O segundo anjo tocou a sua trombeta, e foi lançado no mar como que um grande monte ardendo em fogo, e tornou-se em sangue a terça parte do mar.
9 E morreu a terça parte das criaturas viventes que havia no mar, e foi destruída a terça parte dos navios.
10 O terceiro anjo tocou a sua trombeta, e caiu do céu uma grande estrela, ardendo como uma tocha, e caiu sobre a terça parte dos rios, e sobre as fontes das águas.
11 O nome da estrela era Absinto; e a terça parte das águas tornou-se em absinto, e muitos homens morreram das águas, porque se tornaram amargas.
12 O quarto anjo tocou a sua trombeta, e 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 a terça parte do dia não brilhante, e semelhantemente a da noite.
13 E olhei, e ouvi uma águia que, voando pelo meio do céu, dizia com grande voz: Ai, ai, ai dos que habitam sobre a terra! por causa dos outros toques de trombeta dos três anjos que ainda vão tocar.
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.
