Revelation 8
New American Standard Bible
The Seventh Seal: Trumpets
8 When the Lamb broke the (A)seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 2 And I saw (B)the seven angels who stand before God, and seven (C)trumpets were given to them.
3 (D)Another angel came and stood at the (E)altar, holding a (F)golden censer; and much (G)incense was given to him, so that he might [a]add it to the (H)prayers of all the [b]saints on the (I)golden altar which was before the throne. 4 And (J)the smoke of the incense ascended from the angel’s hand with the prayers of the [c]saints before God. 5 Then the angel [d]took the [e]censer and (K)filled it with the fire of the altar, and (L)hurled it to the earth; and there were (M)peals of thunder and sounds, and flashes of lightning and an (N)earthquake.
6 (O)And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound them.
7 The first sounded, and there was (P)hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled to the earth; and (Q)a third of the earth was burned up, and (R)a third of the (S)trees were burned up, and all the green (T)grass was burned up.
8 The second angel sounded, and something like a great (U)mountain burning with fire was hurled into the sea; and (V)a third of the (W)sea became blood, 9 and (X)a third of the creatures which were in the sea [f]and had life, died; and a third of the (Y)ships were destroyed.
10 The third angel sounded, and a great star (Z)fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a (AA)third of the rivers and on the (AB)springs of waters. 11 The star is named Wormwood; and a (AC)third of the waters became (AD)wormwood, and many people died from the waters because they were made bitter.
12 The fourth angel sounded, and a (AE)third of the (AF)sun, a third of the (AG)moon, and a (AH)third of the (AI)stars were struck, so that a (AJ)third of them would be darkened and the day would not shine for a (AK)third of it, and the night in the same way.
13 Then I looked, and I heard [g]an eagle flying in (AL)midheaven, saying with a loud voice, “(AM)Woe, woe, woe to (AN)those who live on the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the (AO)three angels who are about to sound!”

El séptimo sello
8 Cuando, finalmente, el Cordero rompió el séptimo sello, se hizo en el cielo un silencio como de media hora.
III.— LAS SIETE TROMPETAS (8,2—14,20)
El ángel con el incensario de oro
2 Vi entonces cómo se entregaban siete trompetas a los siete ángeles que estaban en pie delante de Dios, 3 mientras otro ángel se colocaba junto al altar con un incensario de oro. Recibió perfumes en abundancia para ofrecerlos, junto con las oraciones de todos los santos, sobre el altar de oro que se levanta delante del trono de Dios. 4 Y el aroma de los perfumes, junto con las oraciones de los santos, subió de la mano del ángel hasta la presencia de Dios. 5 Entonces, el ángel tomó el incensario, lo llenó con las brasas del altar y lo arrojó sobre la tierra. Y retumbaron los truenos, los relámpagos cruzaron el cielo y se produjo un terremoto.
Las cuatro primeras trompetas
6 Los siete ángeles se prepararon para tocar las siete trompetas.
7 Tocó la trompeta el primero, y cayó sobre la tierra granizo y fuego mezclados con sangre. La tercera parte de la tierra quedó abrasada; la tercera parte de los árboles quedó abrasada; toda la hierba verde quedó abrasada.
8 El segundo ángel tocó la trompeta, y una especie de enorme montaña en llamas se precipitó en el mar. La tercera parte de las aguas del mar se convirtió en sangre; 9 la tercera parte de los seres vivientes del mar perdió la vida; la tercera parte de las naves quedó aniquilada.
10 El tercer ángel tocó la trompeta, y cayó del cielo un astro de grandes proporciones que, ardiendo como una antorcha, se abatió sobre la tercera parte de los ríos y de los manantiales. 11 “Ajenjo” se llamaba el astro, y en ajenjo se tornó la tercera parte de las aguas, y fue mucha la gente que murió a causa del amargor de las aguas.
12 El cuarto ángel tocó la trompeta, y la tercera parte del sol, de la luna y de las estrellas quedó como herida de muerte, la tercera parte de ellos se oscureció y las tinieblas invadieron la tercera parte del día y de la noche.
13 Miré entonces, y pude oír cómo un águila que volaba por lo más alto del cielo gritaba con voz poderosa:
— ¡Ay, ay, ay de los habitantes de la tierra! ¿Qué va a ser de ellos cuando suenen las trompetas de los tres ángeles restantes, que ya se disponen a tocarlas?
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!”
