Revelation 8
The Message
8 When the Lamb ripped off the seventh seal, Heaven fell quiet—complete silence for about half an hour.
Blowing the Trumpets
2-4 I saw the Seven Angels who are always in readiness before God handed seven trumpets. Then another Angel, carrying a gold censer, came and stood at the Altar. He was given a great quantity of incense so that he could offer up the prayers of all the holy people of God on the Golden Altar before the Throne. Smoke billowed up from the incense-laced prayers of the holy ones, rose before God from the hand of the Angel.
5 Then the Angel filled the censer with fire from the Altar and heaved it to earth. It set off thunders, voices, lightnings, and an earthquake.
6-7 The Seven Angels with the trumpets got ready to blow them. At the first trumpet blast, hail and fire mixed with blood were dumped on earth. A third of the earth was scorched, a third of the trees, and every blade of green grass—burned to a crisp.
8-9 The second Angel trumpeted. Something like a huge mountain blazing with fire was flung into the sea. A third of the sea turned to blood, a third of the living sea creatures died, and a third of the ships sank.
10-11 The third Angel trumpeted. A huge Star, blazing like a torch, fell from Heaven, wiping out a third of the rivers and a third of the springs. The Star’s name was Wormwood. A third of the water turned bitter, and many people died from the poisoned water.
12 The fourth Angel trumpeted. A third of the sun, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars were hit, blacked out by a third, both day and night in one-third blackout.
13 I looked hard; I heard a lone eagle, flying through Middle-Heaven, crying out ominously, “Doom! Doom! Doom to everyone left on earth! There are three more Angels about to blow their trumpets. Doom is on its way!”

Zbulesa 8
Albanian Bible
8 Edhe kur ai hapi vulën e shtatë, në qiell u bë heshtje për rreth gjysmë orë.
2 Dhe unë i pashë të shtatë engjëjt që qëndrojnë përpara Perëndisë, dhe atyre u dha shtatë bori.
3 Pastaj erdhi një engjëll tjetër që kishte një temianicë ari dhe ndaloi pranë altarit; dhe iu dha shumë erë e këndshme që t’ua shtonte lutjeve të të gjithë shenjtorëve mbi altarin prej ari që ishte përpara fronit.
4 Dhe tymi i erëve të këndshme, të ofruara me lutjet e shenjtorëve, u ngrit përpara Perëndisë nga dora e engjëllit.
5 Pastaj enjëlli mori temianicën, e mbushi nga zjarri i altarit dhe e hodhi mbi dhe; dhe u bënë zëra, bubullima, vetima dhe një tërmet.
6 Dhe të shtatë engjëjt që kishin të shtatë boritë u bënë gati t’i bien borisë.
7 Engjëlli i parë i ra borisë, dhe u bë breshër e zjarr, i përzier me gjak, dhe u hodhën mbi dhe; dhe e treta e pemëve u dogj tërësisht, dhe çdo bar i njomë u dogj tërësisht.
8 Dhe engjëlli i dytë i ra borisë dhe diçka si një mal i madh që digjet nga zjarri u hodh në det, dhe e treta e detit u bë gjak;
9 dhe e treta e krijesave që rrojnë në det ngordhi, dhe e treta e anijeve u shkatërruan.
10 Dhe i treti engjëll i ra borisë, dhe ra nga qielli një yll i madh që digjej si pishtar, dhe ra mbi pjesën e tretë të lumenjve dhe mbi burimet e ujërave.
11 Dhe emri i yllit është "pelin" dhe e treta e ujërave u bë pelin; dhe shumë njerëz vdiqën për shkak të këtyre ujërave, sepse u bënë të hidhura.
12 Dhe i katërti engjëll i ra borisë, dhe u godit pjesa e tret e diellit dhe pjesa e tret e hënës dhe pjesa e tret e yjeve, që të errësohej e treta e tyre dhe e treta e ditës e humbi shkëlqimin e saj, kështu edhe nata.
13 Dhe pashë, dhe dëgjova një engjëll që fluturonte në mes të qiellit dhe thoshte me zë të madh: “Mjerë, mjerë, mjerë atyre që banojnë mbi dhe, për shkak të të rënave të tjera të borive që të tre engjëjtë do t’i bien.”
Откровение 8
New Russian Translation
Снятие седьмой печати
8 Когда Ягненок снял седьмую печать, на небесах примерно на полчаса наступило молчание. 2 Я увидел семь ангелов, стоящих перед Богом, им были даны семь труб. 3 Потом подошел еще один ангел, державший золотой сосуд для возжигания благовоний, и встал рядом с жертвенником. Ему было дано много благовоний, чтобы он принес их вместе с молитвами всех святых на золотой жертвенник, что стоит перед троном. 4 Дым от благовоний вместе с молитвами святых поднялся от жертвенника, перед которым стоял ангел, к Богу. 5 Затем ангел взял кадильницу, наполнил ее огнем с жертвенника и бросил на землю. Тогда на земле случились громы, крики, молнии и землетрясение[a].
Первые шесть труб
6 Семь ангелов, у которых были трубы, приготовились трубить.
7 Первый ангел затрубил, и на землю пролились град и огонь, смешанные с кровью[b]; третья часть земли сгорела, и третья часть деревьев сгорела, и вся зеленая трава сгорела.
8 Затрубил второй ангел, и нечто наподобие огромной горящей горы упало в море, и третья часть моря превратилась в кровь. 9 Третья часть всего живущего в море умерла[c], и третья часть всех судов погибла.
10 Затрубил третий ангел, и с неба на третью часть рек и водных источников упала горящая, как факел, огромная звезда. 11 Эта звезда называется Полынь. Третья часть воды стала горькой, как полынь, и от этой горькой воды погибло много людей.
12 Затрубил четвертый ангел, и были поражены третья часть солнца, третья часть луны и третья часть звезд. Они вдруг потемнели, и третья часть дня, как и третья часть ночи, были лишены света[d].
13 Потом я увидел и услышал орла, летящего посреди неба. Он громко кричал:
– Горе! Горе! Горе жителям земли от звуков труб остальных трех ангелов, которые должны протрубить.

Revelation 8
King James Version
8 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.
5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;
9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!
