Apocalipsis 8
Ang Biblia, 2001
Ang Ikapitong Tatak
8 Nang buksan ng Kordero ang ikapitong tatak ay nagkaroon ng katahimikan sa langit nang may kalahating oras.
2 At nakita ko ang pitong anghel na nakatayo sa harapan ng Diyos at sila'y binigyan ng pitong trumpeta.
3 Dumating(A) ang isa pang anghel at tumayo sa harap ng dambana, na may hawak na isang gintong lalagyan ng insenso; at binigyan siya ng maraming insenso, upang idagdag ito sa mga panalangin ng lahat ng mga banal sa ibabaw ng dambanang ginto, na nasa harapan ng trono.
4 At umakyat ang usok ng insenso, kalakip ng mga panalangin ng mga banal, mula sa kamay ng anghel patungo sa harapan ng Diyos.
5 At(B) kinuha ng anghel ang lalagyan ng insenso at pinuno niya ng apoy ng dambana, itinapon niya sa lupa at nagkaroon ng mga kulog, mga tunog, mga kidlat, at ng lindol.
Ang Pitong Trumpeta
6 At ang pitong anghel na may pitong trumpeta ay naghanda upang hipan ang mga trumpeta.
7 Hinipan(C) ng unang anghel ang kanyang trumpeta at umulan ng yelo at apoy na may halong dugo, at itinapon ang mga ito sa lupa. Ang ikatlong bahagi ng lupa ay nasunog, at ang ikatlong bahagi ng mga punungkahoy ay nasunog, at ang lahat ng luntiang damo ay nasunog.
8 Hinipan ng ikalawang anghel ang kanyang trumpeta at ang tulad sa isang malaking bundok na nagliliyab sa apoy ay itinapon sa dagat.
9 Ang ikatlong bahagi ng dagat ay naging dugo, namatay ang ikatlong bahagi ng mga nilalang na may buhay na nasa dagat at ang ikatlong bahagi ng mga barko ay nawasak.
10 Hinipan(D) ng ikatlong anghel ang kanyang trumpeta at nahulog mula sa langit ang isang malaking bituin, na nagliliyab na gaya ng isang sulo, at nahulog sa ikatlong bahagi ng mga ilog, at sa mga bukal ng tubig.
11 Ang(E) pangalan ng bituin ay Halamang Mapait at ang ikatlong bahagi ng tubig ay naging mapait at maraming tao ang namatay dahil sa tubig, sapagkat ito ay mapait.
12 Hinipan(F) ng ikaapat na anghel ang kanyang trumpeta at tinamaan ang ikatlong bahagi ng araw, ang ikatlong bahagi ng buwan, at ang ikatlong bahagi ng bituin kaya't nagdilim ang ikatlong bahagi nila, at ang ikatlong bahagi ng maghapon ay hindi nagliwanag, at gayundin naman ang gabi.
13 At tumingin ako, at aking narinig ang isang agila, na lumilipad sa gitna ng himpapawid, na nagsasabi ng malakas na tinig, “Kahabag-habag, kahabag-habag, kahabag-habag ang mga naninirahan sa ibabaw ng lupa, dahil sa mga tunog ng mga trumpeta na malapit nang hipan ng tatlo pang anghel.”
Revelation 8
EasyEnglish Bible
The Lamb opens the last seal
8 The Lamb opened the seventh seal. Then it became completely quiet in heaven for about half an hour. 2 Then I saw the seven angels who stand in front of God. Someone gave them seven trumpets.
3 Then another angel came. He stood at the altar where people offered gifts to God. He had a gold bowl to put incense in. He received a lot of incense and he burned it as a gift to God. It made a nice smell and it mixed with the prayers of God's people. The angel offered the incense and the prayers on the gold altar that was in front of God's throne.[a] 4 When he did that, the smoke from the incense went up in front of God. The prayers of God's people also went up to God. 5 Then the angel took the gold bowl and he filled it with fire from the altar. Then he threw it all down onto the earth. There were loud noises and the sound of thunder. There was bright lightning, like a very bad storm. The earth shook with an earthquake.
The first four trumpets
6 Then the seven angels with the seven trumpets prepared to make a noise with their trumpets. 7 The first angel made a sound with his trumpet. Strong rain with stones of ice fell on the earth. The rain was mixed with fire and blood and it poured down. It burned a third of the earth. It destroyed a third of the trees and all the green grass.
8 Then the second angel made a sound with his trumpet. I saw something like a very big mountain that was burning with fire. This mountain fell down into the sea. A third of the sea became blood. 9 A third of the animals that lived in the sea died. It also destroyed a third of the ships on the sea.
10 Then the third angel made a sound with his trumpet. I saw a very big star, which was burning with a bright light. It fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and the springs of water. 11 The name of the star means ‘It tastes bad’. A third of the water on the earth became bad. Many people died because they drank that bad water.
12 Then the fourth angel made a sound with his trumpet. A third of the sun became dark. A third of the moon and a third of the stars also became dark. There was no light for a third of the day and there was no light for a third of the night.[b]
13 Then I looked up. I saw an eagle that was flying high in the sky above me. I heard it say with a loud voice, ‘Great trouble! Great trouble! Yes, great trouble is coming to the people who live on the earth! Very bad things will happen when the other three angels make a sound with their trumpets!’
Footnotes
- 8:3 Many years before Jesus came to this earth, God spoke to Israel's people. He told them to build a special house for him. In this house they worshipped God and they offered gifts to him. There was a very big altar where the priests burned animals and other gifts for God. See Exodus 27:1-8. And there was a small gold altar where they burned incense. See Exodus 30:1-9.
- 8:12 The troubles that the first four trumpets bring destroy a third of the earth. That means one part out of every three parts. They also destroy the same amount of the sea, the rivers and the light. So these troubles do not destroy everything. They do not cause the end of this world.
Revelation 8
New International Version
The Seventh Seal and the Golden Censer
8 When he opened the seventh seal,(A) there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
2 And I saw the seven angels(B) who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.(C)
3 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. 4 The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of God’s people, went up before God(G) from the angel’s hand. 5 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
6 Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets(K) prepared to sound them.
7 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)
8 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) 9 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!”
