1 Quando o Cordeiro abriu o sétimo selo, houve silêncio no céu cerca de meia hora. 2 Então, vi os sete anjos que se acham em pé diante de Deus, e lhes foram dadas sete trombetas.

3 Veio outro anjo e ficou de pé junto ao altar, com um incensário de ouro, e foi-lhe dado muito incenso para oferecê-lo com as orações de todos os santos sobre o altar de ouro que se acha diante do trono; 4 e da mão do anjo subiu à presença de Deus a fumaça do incenso, com as orações dos santos. 5 E o anjo tomou o incensário, encheu-o do fogo do altar e o atirou à 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 trombeta, e houve saraiva e fogo de mistura com sangue, e foram atirados à terra. Foi, então, queimada a terça parte da terra, e das árvores, e também toda erva verde.

8 O segundo anjo tocou a trombeta, e uma como que grande montanha ardendo em chamas foi atirada ao mar, cuja terça parte se tornou em sangue, 9 e morreu a terça parte da criação que tinha vida, existente no mar, e foi destruída a terça parte das embarcações.

10 O terceiro anjo tocou a trombeta, e caiu do céu sobre a terça parte dos rios, e sobre as fontes das águas uma grande estrela, ardendo como tocha. 11 O nome da estrela é Absinto; e a terça parte das águas se tornou em absinto, e muitos dos homens morreram por causa dessas águas, porque se tornaram amargosas.

12 O quarto anjo tocou a trombeta, e foi ferida a terça parte do sol, da lua e das estrelas, para que a terça parte deles escurecesse e, na sua terça parte, não brilhasse, tanto o dia como também a noite. 13 Então, vi e ouvi uma águia que, voando pelo meio do céu, dizia em grande voz: Ai! Ai! Ai dos que moram na terra, por causa das restantes 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 to him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints on 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' 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 thunder, and lightning, 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 on 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 on the third part of the rivers, and on 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 middle of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabitants of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!
