1 και οτε ηνοιξεν την σφραγιδα την εβδομην εγενετο σιγη εν τω ουρανω ως ημιωριον

2 και ειδον τους επτα αγγελους οι ενωπιον του θεου εστηκασιν και εδοθησαν αυτοις επτα σαλπιγγες

3 και αλλος αγγελος ηλθεν και εσταθη επι το θυσιαστηριον εχων λιβανωτον χρυσουν και εδοθη αυτω θυμιαματα πολλα ινα δωση ταις προσευχαις των αγιων παντων επι το θυσιαστηριον το χρυσουν το ενωπιον του θρονου

4 και ανεβη ο καπνος των θυμιαματων ταις προσευχαις των αγιων εκ χειρος του αγγελου ενωπιον του θεου

5 και ειληφεν ο αγγελος το λιβανωτον και εγεμισεν αυτο εκ του πυρος του θυσιαστηριου και εβαλεν εις την γην και εγενοντο φωναι και βρονται και αστραπαι και σεισμος

6 και οι επτα αγγελοι {VAR2: οι } εχοντες τας επτα σαλπιγγας ητοιμασαν εαυτους ινα σαλπισωσιν

7 και ο πρωτος αγγελος εσαλπισεν και εγενετο χαλαζα και πυρ μεμιγμενα αιματι και εβληθη εις την γην και το τριτον των δενδρων κατεκαη και πας χορτος χλωρος κατεκαη

8 και ο δευτερος αγγελος εσαλπισεν και ως ορος μεγα πυρι καιομενον εβληθη εις την θαλασσαν και εγενετο το τριτον της θαλασσης αιμα

9 και απεθανεν το τριτον των κτισματων των εν τη θαλασση τα εχοντα ψυχας και το τριτον των πλοιων διεφθαρη

10 και ο τριτος αγγελος εσαλπισεν και επεσεν εκ του ουρανου αστηρ μεγας καιομενος ως λαμπας και επεσεν επι το τριτον των ποταμων και επι τας πηγας υδατων

11 και το ονομα του αστερος λεγεται αψινθος και γινεται το τριτον {VAR2: των υδατων } εις αψινθον και πολλοι ανθρωπων απεθανον εκ των υδατων οτι επικρανθησαν

12 και ο τεταρτος αγγελος εσαλπισεν και επληγη το τριτον του ηλιου και το τριτον της σεληνης και το τριτον των αστερων ινα σκοτισθη το τριτον αυτων και η ημερα μη φαινη το τριτον αυτης και η νυξ ομοιως

13 και ειδον και ηκουσα ενος αγγελου πετωμενου εν μεσουρανηματι λεγοντος φωνη μεγαλη ουαι ουαι ουαι τοις κατοικουσιν επι της γης εκ των λοιπων φωνων της σαλπιγγος των τριων αγγελων των μελλοντων σαλπιζειν

1 And when he openeth the seventh seal, there came silence in the heaven about half-an-hour,

2 and I saw the seven messengers who before God have stood, and there were given to them seven trumpets,

3 and another messenger did come, and he stood at the altar, having a golden censer, and there was given to him much perfume, that he may give [it] to the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar that [is] before the throne,

4 and go up did the smoke of the perfumes to the prayers of the saints out of the hand of the messenger, before God;

5 and the messenger took the censer, and did fill it out of the fire of the altar, and did cast [it] to the earth, and there came voices, and thunders, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

6 And the seven messengers who are having the seven trumpets did prepare themselves that they may sound;

7 and the first messenger did sound, and there came hail and fire, mingled with blood, and it was cast to the land, and the third of the trees was burnt up, and all the green grass was burnt up.

8 And the second messenger did sound, and as it were a great mountain with fire burning was cast into the sea, and the third of the sea became blood,

9 and die did the third of the creatures that [are] in the sea, those having life, and the third of the ships were destroyed.

10 And the third messenger did sound, and there fell out of the heaven a great star, burning as a lamp, and it did fall upon the third of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters,

11 and the name of the star is called Wormwood, and the third of the waters doth become wormwood, and many of the men did die of the waters, because they were made bitter.

12 And the fourth messenger did sound, and smitten was the third of the sun, and the third of the moon, and the third of the stars, that darkened may be the third of them, and that the day may not shine -- the third of it, and the night in like manner.

13 And I saw, and I heard one messenger, flying in the mid-heaven, saying with a great voice, `Wo, wo, wo, to those dwelling upon the land from the rest of the voices of the trumpet of the three messengers who are about to sound.`
