Ang Ikapitong Tatak

Nang buksan ng Kordero ang ikapitong tatak, nagkaroon ng katahimikan sa langit nang halos kalahating oras. At nakita ko ang pitong anghel na nakatayo sa harap ng Diyos, at binigyan sila ng pitong trumpeta.

(A) Isa pang anghel na may dalang gintong lalagyan ng insenso ang dumating at tumayo sa dambana. Binigyan siya ng maraming insenso upang kanyang ialay kasama ang mga panalangin ng lahat ng banal sa gintong dambanang nasa harap ng trono. At ang usok ng mga insenso, kasama ang mga panalangin ng mga banal, ay umakyat sa harapan ng Diyos mula sa kamay ng anghel. (B) Kinuha ng anghel ang lalagyan ng insenso at pinuno ito ng apoy mula sa dambana at itinapon ito sa lupa. Noon di'y kumulog, nagkaingay, kumidlat at lumindol.

Ang Pitong Trumpeta

(C) Ang pitong anghel na may pitong trumpeta ay humanda upang hipan ang mga ito.

Hinipan (D) ng unang anghel ang kanyang trumpeta, at nagkaroon ng yelo at apoy, na may halong dugo. Itinapon ang mga ito sa lupa. Nasunog ang ikatlong bahagi ng lupa at ng mga puno. Ang lahat ng luntiang damo ay nasunog din.

Hinipan ng ikalawang anghel ang kanyang trumpeta, at itinapon sa dagat ang isang tulad ng malaking bundok na nagliliyab sa apoy. Naging dugo ang ikatlong bahagi ng dagat, namatay ang ikatlong bahagi ng may buhay sa ilalim ng dagat, at nawasak ang ikatlong bahagi ng mga barko.

10 Hinipan (E) ng ikatlong anghel ang kanyang trumpeta, at isang malaking bituin ang nahulog mula sa langit, nagliliyab na parang isang sulo. Nahulog ito sa ikatlong bahagi ng mga ilog at sa mga bukal ng tubig. 11 (F) Halamang Mapait ang pangalan ng bituin. Naging mapait ang ikatlong bahagi ng mga tubig. Maraming tao ang namatay dahil sa tubig, sapagkat ito'y naging mapait.

12 Hinipan (G) ng ikaapat na anghel ang kanyang trumpeta, at tinamaan ang ikatlong bahagi ng araw, ng buwan, at ng mga bituin, kaya't nagdilim ang ikatlong bahagi ng kanilang liwanag. Nabawasan din ang ikatlong bahagi ng liwanag at ang maghapon at magdamag.

13 Tumingin ako, at narinig ko ang isang agilang sumisigaw habang lumilipad sa himpapawid, “Kaylagim, kaylagim, kaylagim ng sasapitin ng mga naninirahan sa lupa dahil sa iba pang mga trumpeta na hihipan ng tatlo pang anghel!”

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!”
