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.

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!
