Ang Ikapitong Selyo

Nang tanggalin ng Tupa ang ikapitong selyo, tumahimik ang langit ng mga kalahating oras. Pagkatapos, nakita ko ang pitong anghel na nakatayo sa harapan ng Dios. Ang bawat isa sa kanilaʼy binigyan ng trumpeta.

May isa pang anghel na lumapit sa altar, dala ang isang gintong lalagyan ng insenso. Binigyan siya ng maraming insenso para maisama niya sa mga dalangin ng lahat ng mga pinabanal[a] ng Dios at maihandog sa gintong altar sa harap ng trono. Mula sa kamay ng anghel ay pumailanlang sa harap ng Dios ang usok ng insenso kasama ang mga panalangin ng mga pinabanal. Pagkatapos, kumuha ang anghel ng mga baga sa altar at pinuno ang lalagyan ng insenso, at inihagis sa lupa. At bigla namang kumidlat, kumulog, umugong at lumindol.

Ang mga Trumpeta

Nakahanda na ang pitong anghel upang patunugin ang kanilang trumpeta. Nang patunugin ng unang anghel ang kanyang trumpeta, umulan ng yelo at apoy na may halong dugo. Nasunog ang ikatlong bahagi ng lupa, ang ikatlong bahagi ng mga kahoy at ang lahat ng damo.

Nang patunugin ng ikalawang anghel ang kanyang trumpeta, bumagsak sa dagat ang parang malaking bundok na nagliliyab. At naging dugo ang ikatlong bahagi ng dagat. Namatay ang ikatlong bahagi ng mga nabubuhay sa dagat, at nawasak ang ikatlong bahagi ng bilang ng mga sasakyang pandagat.

10 Nang patunugin ng ikatlong anghel ang kanyang trumpeta, nahulog mula sa langit ang isang malaking bituing nagliliyab na parang sulo at tumama sa ikatlong bahagi ng mga ilog at mga bukal. 11 Ang pangalan ng bituin ay “Mapait.” Kaya pumait ang ikatlong bahagi ng tubig, at maraming tao ang namatay nang makainom ng tubig na iyon.

12 Nang patunugin ng ikaapat na anghel ang kanyang trumpeta, napinsala ang ikatlong bahagi ng araw, ang ikatlong bahagi ng buwan, at ang ikatlong bahagi ng mga bituin, kaya nabawasan ang mga liwanag nito. Nawala ang ikatlong bahagi ng liwanag sa araw at sa gabi.

13 Pagkatapos, nakita ko ang isang agila na lumilipad sa himpapawid at sumisigaw nang malakas, “Nakakaawa! Kawawang-kawawa ang mga nakatira sa lupa kapag pinatunog na ng tatlo pang anghel ang mga trumpeta nila.”

The Seventh Seal and the Golden Censer

When he opened the seventh seal,(A) there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.

And I saw the seven angels(B) who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.(C)

Another angel,(D) who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all God’s people,(E) on the golden altar(F) in front of the throne. The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of God’s people, went up before God(G) from the angel’s hand. Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar,(H) and hurled it on the earth; and there came peals of thunder,(I) rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake.(J)

The Trumpets

Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets(K) prepared to sound them.

The first angel(L) sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire(M) mixed with blood, and it was hurled down on the earth. A third(N) of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.(O)

The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain,(P) all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third(Q) of the sea turned into blood,(R) a third(S) of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

10 The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky(T) on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water(U) 11 the name of the star is Wormwood.[a] A third(V) of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.(W)

12 The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third(X) of them turned dark.(Y) A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night.(Z)

13 As I watched, I heard an eagle that was flying in midair(AA) call out in a loud voice: “Woe! Woe! Woe(AB) to the inhabitants of the earth,(AC) because of the trumpet blasts about to be sounded by the other three angels!”

The Seventh Seal and the Golden Censer

When the Lamb opened (A)the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. Then I saw the seven angels (B)who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. And another angel came and stood (C)at the altar with a golden censer, and he was given much incense to offer with (D)the prayers of all the saints on (E)the golden altar before the throne, and (F)the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose before God from the hand of the angel. Then the angel took the censer and (G)filled it with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth, and (H)there were peals of (I)thunder, rumblings,[a] flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.

The Seven Trumpets

Now the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to blow them.

The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed (J)hail and (K)fire, mixed with blood, and these were thrown upon the earth. And a (L)third of the earth was burned up, and a third of (M)the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.

The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like (N)a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea (O)became blood. A third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of (P)the ships were destroyed.

10 The third angel blew his trumpet, and (Q)a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on (R)the springs of water. 11 The name of the star is Wormwood.[b] A third of the waters (S)became wormwood, and many people died from the water, (T)because it had been made bitter.

12 The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of (U)the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of their light might be darkened, and a third of the day might be kept from shining, and likewise a third of the night.

13 Then I looked, and I heard an eagle crying with a loud voice as it flew directly overhead, (V)“Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, at the blasts of the other trumpets that the three angels are about to blow!”

And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.

And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.

And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.

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 thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

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;

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 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 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 midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!
