Apocalipsis 8
La Biblia de las Américas
El séptimo sello
8 Cuando el Cordero abrió el séptimo sello(A), hubo silencio en el cielo como por media hora. 2 Y vi a los siete ángeles(B) que están de pie delante de Dios, y se les dieron siete trompetas(C).
3 Otro ángel(D) vino y se paró ante el altar(E) con[a] un incensario de oro(F), y se le dio mucho incienso(G) para que lo añadiera[b] a las oraciones de todos los santos(H) sobre el altar de oro(I) que estaba delante del trono. 4 Y de la mano del ángel subió ante Dios el humo del incienso con[c] las oraciones de los santos(J). 5 Y el ángel tomó el incensario, lo llenó con el fuego del altar(K) y lo arrojó a la tierra(L), y hubo truenos(M), ruidos[d], relámpagos y un terremoto(N).
Las primeras cuatro trompetas
6 Entonces los siete ángeles que tenían las siete trompetas(O) se prepararon para tocarlas.
7 El primero tocó la trompeta, y vino granizo y fuego(P) mezclados con sangre, y fueron arrojados a la tierra; y se quemó la tercera parte de la tierra(Q), se quemó la tercera parte(R) de los árboles(S) y se quemó toda la hierba verde(T).
8 El segundo ángel tocó la trompeta, y algo como una gran montaña ardiendo en llamas(U) fue arrojado al mar, y la tercera parte(V) del mar se convirtió en sangre(W). 9 Y murió la tercera parte de los seres(X) que estaban en el mar y que[e] tenían vida; y la tercera parte de los barcos fue destruida(Y).
10 El tercer ángel tocó la trompeta, y cayó del cielo(Z) una gran estrella, ardiendo como una antorcha, y cayó sobre la tercera parte(AA) de los ríos y sobre los manantiales de las aguas(AB). 11 Y el nombre de la estrella es Ajenjo; y la tercera parte(AC) de las aguas se convirtió en ajenjo(AD), y muchos hombres murieron por causa de las aguas, porque se habían vuelto amargas.
12 El cuarto ángel tocó la trompeta, y fue herida la tercera parte(AE) del sol(AF), la tercera parte de la luna(AG) y la tercera parte(AH) de las estrellas(AI), para que la tercera parte(AJ) de ellos se oscureciera y el día no resplandeciera en su tercera parte(AK), y asimismo la noche.
13 Entonces miré, y oí volar a un águila[f] en medio del cielo(AL), que decía a gran voz: ¡Ay, ay, ay(AM), de los que habitan en la tierra(AN), a causa de los toques de trompeta que faltan, que los otros tres ángeles están para tocar(AO)!

New King James Version
Seventh Seal: Prelude to the Seven Trumpets
8 When(A) He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 2 (B)And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, (C)and to them were given seven trumpets. 3 Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense, that he should offer it with (D)the prayers of all the saints upon (E)the golden altar which was before the throne. 4 And (F)the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel’s hand. 5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth. And (G)there were noises, thunderings, (H)lightnings, (I)and an earthquake.
6 So the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
First Trumpet: Vegetation Struck
7 The first angel sounded: (J)And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown (K)to the [a]earth. And a third (L)of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.
Second Trumpet: The Seas Struck
8 Then the second angel sounded: (M)And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, (N)and a third of the sea (O)became blood. 9 (P)And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
Third Trumpet: The Waters Struck
10 Then the third angel sounded: (Q)And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, (R)and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. 11 (S)The name of the star is Wormwood. (T)A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter.
Fourth Trumpet: The Heavens Struck
12 (U)Then the fourth angel sounded: And a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day [b]did not shine, and likewise the night.
13 And I looked, (V)and I heard an [c]angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, (W)“Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!”

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!”
