El Cordero rompe el séptimo sello

Cuando el Cordero rompió el séptimo sello del rollo,[a] hubo silencio por todo el cielo durante una media hora. Vi a los siete ángeles que están de pie delante de Dios, a los cuales se les dieron siete trompetas.

Entonces vino otro ángel con un recipiente de oro para quemar incienso y se paró ante el altar. Se le dio una gran cantidad de incienso para mezclarlo con las oraciones del pueblo de Dios como una ofrenda sobre el altar de oro delante del trono. El humo del incienso, mezclado con las oraciones del pueblo santo de Dios, subió hasta la presencia de Dios desde el altar donde el ángel lo había derramado. Entonces el ángel llenó el recipiente para quemar incienso con fuego del altar y lo lanzó sobre la tierra; y hubo truenos con gran estruendo, relámpagos y un gran terremoto.

Las primeras cuatro trompetas

Entonces los siete ángeles con las siete trompetas se prepararon para hacerlas sonar.

El primer ángel tocó su trompeta, y granizo y fuego mezclados con sangre fueron lanzados sobre la tierra. Se incendió la tercera parte de la tierra, y se quemó la tercera parte de los árboles y toda la hierba verde.

Entonces el segundo ángel tocó su trompeta, y una gran montaña de fuego fue lanzada al mar. La tercera parte de las aguas del mar se convirtió en sangre, murió la tercera parte de todos los seres que viven en el mar y fue destruida la tercera parte de todos los barcos.

10 Entonces el tercer ángel tocó su trompeta, y una gran estrella cayó del cielo, ardiendo como una antorcha. Cayó sobre una tercera parte de los ríos y sobre los manantiales de agua. 11 El nombre de la estrella era Amargura.[b] Hizo que la tercera parte de las aguas se volviera amarga, y mucha gente murió por beber de esa agua amarga.

12 Entonces el cuarto ángel tocó su trompeta, y se dañó la tercera parte del sol y la tercera parte de la luna y la tercera parte de las estrellas, y se oscurecieron. Así que la tercera parte del día quedó sin luz, y también la tercera parte de la noche.

13 Entonces miré, y oí la voz de un águila que cruzaba los cielos gritando fuerte: «¡Terror, terror, terror para todos los habitantes de este mundo por lo que vendrá cuando los últimos tres ángeles toquen sus trompetas!».

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!”

Ouverture du septième sceau : un grand silence

Quand l’Agneau ouvrit le septième sceau, il se fit dans le ciel un silence d’environ une demi-heure.

Les sept trompettes

Alors je vis les sept anges qui se tiennent devant Dieu. Sept trompettes leur furent données.

Un autre ange vint et se plaça sur l’autel. Il portait un encensoir d’or. On lui remit de nombreux parfums pour les offrir sur l’autel d’or devant le trône avec les prières des membres du peuple saint. Et, de la main de l’ange, la fumée des parfums s’éleva devant Dieu, avec les prières des membres du peuple saint.

L’ange prit l’encensoir, le remplit de braises ardentes prises sur l’autel et le lança sur la terre. Il y eut alors des coups de tonnerre, des voix, des éclairs et un tremblement de terre.

Alors les sept anges qui tenaient les sept trompettes s’apprêtèrent à en sonner.

Les quatre premières trompettes

Le premier ange sonna de la trompette : aussitôt de la grêle[a] mêlée de feu et de sang s’abattit sur la terre. Le tiers de la terre fut brûlé, le tiers des arbres fut brûlé et toute plante verte fut brûlée.

Le deuxième ange sonna de la trompette : une énorme masse incandescente ressemblant à une montagne embrasée fut précipitée dans la mer. Le tiers de la mer devint comme du sang. Le tiers des créatures vivantes dans la mer périrent et le tiers des bateaux furent détruits.

10 Le troisième ange sonna de la trompette : un grand astre enflammé, une sorte de globe de feu, tomba du ciel sur le tiers des fleuves et sur les sources d’eau. 11 Cet astre se nomme « Absinthe ». Le tiers des eaux se transforma en un liquide amer comme l’absinthe et beaucoup d’hommes moururent pour avoir bu ces eaux parce qu’elles étaient devenues amères.

12 Le quatrième ange sonna de la trompette : le tiers du soleil, le tiers de la lune et le tiers des étoiles furent frappés, de sorte que le tiers de leur lumière s’éteignit, et la clarté du jour, comme celle de la nuit, diminua d’un tiers.

L’annonce de trois malheurs

13 Alors je vis un aigle qui planait au zénith et je l’entendis crier d’une voix forte : Malheur, malheur, malheur aux habitants de la terre, quand retentiront les trois trompettes que les trois derniers anges vont faire sonner !

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!”
