啟示錄 8
1 羔羊揭開第七印的時候，天上寂靜約有二刻。
And when He opens the seventh seal, there came silence in Heaven about half an hour,
2 我看見那站在上帝面前的七位天使，有七枝號賜給他們。
and I saw the seven messengers who have stood before God, and there were given to them seven trumpets,
3 另有一位天使，拿着金香爐來，站在祭壇旁邊。有許多香賜給他，要和眾聖徒的祈禱一同獻在寶座前的金壇上。
and another messenger came, and he stood at the altar, having a golden censer, and there was given to him much incense, that he may give [it] to the prayers of all the holy ones on the golden altar that [is] before the throne,
4 那香的煙和眾聖徒的祈禱從天使的手中一同升到上帝面前。
and the smoke of the incenses, with the prayers of the holy ones, went up before God out of the hand of the messenger;
5 天使拿着香爐，盛滿了壇上的火，倒在地上；隨有雷轟、大聲、閃電、地震。
and the messenger took the censer, and filled it out of the fire of the altar, and cast [it] to the earth, and there came voices, and thunders, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
6 拿着七枝號的七位天使就預備要吹。
And the seven messengers who are having the seven trumpets prepared themselves that they may sound the trumpets;
7 第一位天使吹號，就有雹子與火攙着血丟在地上；地的三分之一和樹的三分之一被燒了，一切的青草也被燒了。
and the first messenger sounded the trumpet, and there came hail and fire, mingled with blood, and it was cast to the earth, and the third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.
8 第二位天使吹號，就有彷彿火燒着的大山扔在海中；海的三分之一變成血，
And the second messenger sounded the trumpet, and [something] like a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea, and the third of the sea became blood,
9 海中的活物死了三分之一，船隻也壞了三分之一。
and the third of the creatures that [are] in the sea died, those having life, and the third of the ships were destroyed.
10 第三位天使吹號，就有燒着的大星，好像火把從天上落下來，落在江河的三分之一和眾水的泉源上。
And the third messenger sounded the trumpet, and there fell out of the sky a great star, burning as a lamp, and it fell on the third of the rivers, and on the fountains of waters,
11 （這星名叫「茵蔯」。）眾水的三分之一變為茵蔯，因水變苦，就死了許多人。
and the name of the star is called Wormwood, and the third of the waters become wormwood, and many of the men died [because] of the waters, because they were made bitter.
12 第四位天使吹號，日頭的三分之一、月亮的三分之一、星辰的三分之一都被擊打，以致日月星的三分之一黑暗了，白晝的三分之一沒有光，黑夜也是這樣。
And the fourth messenger sounded the trumpet, and the third of the sun was struck, and the third of the moon, and the third of the stars, that the third of them may be darkened, and that the day may not shine—the third of it, and the night in like manner.
13 我又看見一個鷹飛在空中，並聽見牠大聲說：「三位天使要吹那其餘的號。你們住在地上的民，禍哉！禍哉！禍哉！」
And I saw, and I heard one messenger, flying in midair, saying with a great voice, “Woe, woe, woe, to those dwelling on the earth because of the rest of the voices of the trumpet of the three messengers being about to sound trumpets.”
