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, 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.
