1 Depois ouvi uma voz forte falando de dentro do templo, dizendo aos sete anjos:

— Vão e derramem sobre a terra as sete taças da ira de Deus!

2 O primeiro anjo foi e derramou a sua taça sobre a terra. Feridas abertas, terríveis e dolorosas, apareceram naqueles que tinham o sinal do monstro e que haviam adorado a sua imagem.

3 Aí o segundo anjo derramou a sua taça sobre o mar. A água ficou como o sangue de uma pessoa morta, e morreram todos os seres vivos do mar.

4 Então o terceiro anjo derramou a sua taça sobre os rios e nas fontes de água, e eles viraram sangue. 5 Eu ouvi o anjo que tinha autoridade sobre as águas dizer:

— Tu és justo nos teus julgamentos, ó Deus santo, que és e que eras! 6 Os maus derramaram o sangue do povo de Deus e dos profetas, e por isso tu lhes deste sangue para beber. Eles estão recebendo o que merecem.

7 Aí ouvi uma voz que vinha do altar. A voz dizia:

— Ó Senhor Deus, Todo-Poderoso! Os teus julgamentos são, de fato, verdadeiros e justos!

8 Depois o quarto anjo derramou a sua taça sobre o sol, e ele recebeu licença para queimar as pessoas com fogo. 9 Elas sofreram queimaduras dolorosas causadas por esse fogo e amaldiçoaram o nome de Deus, que tem autoridade sobre essas pragas. Mas não se arrependeram dos seus pecados, nem louvaram a glória de Deus.

10 Então o quinto anjo derramou a sua taça sobre o trono do monstro, cujo reino ficou na escuridão, e as pessoas mordiam a língua de dor 11 e, por causa das suas dores e feridas, amaldiçoavam o Deus do céu. Porém não abandonaram as coisas más que faziam.

12 Em seguida o sexto anjo derramou a sua taça no grande rio Eufrates . O rio secou a fim de se abrir um caminho para os reis que vêm do Oriente. 13 Então vi três espíritos imundos que pareciam rãs, que saíam da boca do dragão, da boca do monstro e da boca do falso profeta . 14 Eles são os espíritos maus que fazem milagres. Esses três espíritos vão aos reis do mundo inteiro a fim de os ajuntar para a batalha do grande Dia de Deus, o Todo-Poderoso.

15 "Escutem! Eu venho como um ladrão. Feliz aquele que vigia e toma conta da sua roupa, a fim de não andar nu e não ficar envergonhado em público!"

16 Depois os espíritos ajuntaram os reis no lugar que em hebraico é chamado de "Armagedom ".

17 E por último o sétimo anjo derramou a sua taça no ar. Então uma voz forte veio do trono, no templo, dizendo:

— Está feito!

18 Houve relâmpagos, estrondos, trovões e um violento terremoto, tão violento como nunca houve igual desde a criação dos seres humanos. Foi o pior de todos! 19 A grande cidade se quebrou em três partes, e as cidades de todos os países foram destruídas. Deus lembrou da grande Babilônia e lhe deu o vinho da sua taça — o vinho do furor da sua ira. 20 Todas as ilhas desapareceram, e todos os montes sumiram. 21 Chuvas de pedra caíram do céu sobre as pessoas. Eram grandes pedras, que pesavam mais de trinta quilos. E as pessoas amaldiçoaram a Deus por causa da praga de chuvas de pedra, pois ela era terrível.

1 And a great voice out of the house of God came to my ears, saying to the seven angels, Go, and let that which is in the seven vessels of the wrath of God come down on the earth.2 And the first went, and let what was in his vessel come down on the earth; and it became an evil poisoning wound on the men who had the mark of the beast, and who gave worship to his image.3 And the second let what was in his vessel come out into the sea; and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living thing in the sea came to an end.4 And the third let what was in his vessel come out into the rivers and the fountains of water; and they became blood.5 And the voice of the angel of the waters came to my ears, saying, True and upright is your judging, O Holy One, who is and was from all time:6 For they made the blood of saints and prophets come out like a stream, and blood have you given them for drink; which is their right reward.7 And a voice came from the altar, saying, Even so, O Lord God, Ruler of all, true and full of righteousness is your judging.8 And the fourth let what was in his vessel come out on the sun; and power was given to it that men might be burned with fire.9 And men were burned with great heat: and they said evil things against the name of the God who has authority over these punishments; and they were not turned from their evil ways to give him glory.10 And the fifth let what was in his vessel come out on the high seat of the beast; and his kingdom was made dark; and they were biting their tongues for pain.11 And they said evil things against the God of heaven because of their pain and their wounds; and they were not turned from their evil works.12 And the sixth let what was in his vessel come out on the great river Euphrates; and it became dry, so that the way might be made ready for the kings from the east.13 And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, like frogs.14 For they are evil spirits, working signs; who go out even to the kings of all the earth, to get them together to the war of the great day of God, the Ruler of all.15 (See, I come as a thief. Happy is he who is watching and keeps his robes, so that he may not go unclothed, and his shame be seen.)16 And they got them together into the place which is named in Hebrew Armageddon.17 And the seventh let what was in his vessel come out on the air; and there came out a great voice from the house of God, from the high seat, saying, It is done.18 And there were flames and voices and thunders; and there was a great earth-shock so that never, from the time when men were on the earth, had there been so great an earth-shock, so full of power.19 And the great town was cut into three parts, and the towns of the nations came to destruction: and Babylon the great came into mind before God, to be given the cup of the wine of his wrath.20 And every island went in flight, and the mountains were seen no longer.21 And great drops of ice, every one about the weight of a talent, came down out of heaven on men: and men said evil things against God because of the punishment of the ice-drops; for it is very great.
