Revelation 8
1 When [Jesus], the [one who is like a] lamb, opened the seventh seal, there was no sound at all in heaven for (a very short time/about half an hour).
Cuando [el Cordero ]abrió el séptimo sello hubo silencio en el cielo como por media hora.
2 I saw the seven angels who stand in front of God. A trumpet was given {([God/An angel]) gave a trumpet} to each one of them.
Vi a los siete ángeles que estaban en pie delante de Dios. Se les dieron siete trompetas.
3 Another angel, who had a golden container for burning incense, came and stood at the altar. [He was given] {[An angel] gave to him} a large quantity of incense, in order that he might offer it, with the prayers of all God’s people, upon the golden altar that is in front of [God’s] throne. [Then he burned this incense on the altar].
Llegó otro ángel que tenía un incensario de oro y se puso en pie junto al altar. Y se le dieron muchos inciensos para que los añadiera a las conversaciones de todos los santos con Dios sobre el altar de oro que está delante del trono.
4 From the [pot in] the angel’s hand, the smoke of the incense, along with the prayers of God’s people, went up to God.
De mano del ángel ascendió el humo del incienso con las conversaciones de los santos con Dios delante de Él.
5 [In response], the angel took the golden incense burner and filled it with [coals of] fire from the altar. He threw [the contents of] the [MTY] incense burner onto the earth. Thunder sounded and rumbled, lightning was flashing, and the earth shook.
El ángel tomó el incensario, lo llenó del fuego del altar y [lo] lanzó a la tierra. Y se produjeron truenos, ruidos, rayos y un terremoto.
6 The seven angels, [each] of which had [one of] the seven trumpets, prepared to blow them.
Los siete ángeles que tenían las siete trompetas se prepararon para tocarlas.
7 When the first angel blew his trumpet, hail and fire mixed with blood poured down onto the earth. [As a result], a third of [everything on the surface of] the land was burned up {[the fire] burned up a third of [everything on the surface of] the land}. A third of the trees were also burned up {It also burned up a third of the trees}, and [a third of] all the green grass was burned up.
El primero tocó la trompeta. Hubo granizo y fuego mezclados con sangre, [los cuales] fueron lanzados a la tierra. Y se quemó la tercera parte de la tierra, de los árboles y de toda hierba verde.
8 When the second angel blew his trumpet, something that was like a huge burning mountain fell into the ocean. [As a result], a third of the ocean became [red like] [MTY] blood,
El segundo ángel tocó la trompeta. [Algo] como una gran montaña que ardía en llamas fue lanzada al mar. La tercera parte del mar se convirtió en sangre.
9 a third of the living creatures in the ocean died, and a third of the ships [in the ocean] were destroyed.
Murió la tercera parte de las criaturas marítimas, y fue destruida la tercera parte de las naves.
10 When the third angel blew his trumpet, a huge star, which was burning like a torch, fell from the sky into a third of the rivers and into [a third of] the springs.
El tercer ángel tocó la trompeta. Y una gran estrella encendida como una antorcha cayó del cielo sobre la tercera parte de los ríos y sobre las fuentes de las aguas.
11 The name of the star is Bitterness. [As a result], the water in a third [of the rivers and springs] became bitter, and many people died from [drinking] the water because it had become bitter.
El nombre de la estrella es Ajenjo. La tercera parte de las aguas se convirtió en ajenjo. Y muchos hombres murieron a causa de las aguas, porque se volvieron amargas.
12 When the fourth angel blew his trumpet, [God] struck the sun, the moon, and the stars, so that they lost a third of their light. The [sun] also did not shine during a third of the day, and [the moon and stars did not shine during a third] of the night.
El cuarto ángel tocó la trompeta. Fue golpeada la tercera parte del sol, de la luna, y de las estrellas para que se oscureciera la tercera parte de ellos, y que no resplandecieran en la tercera parte del día ni de la noche.
13 As I watched, I heard an eagle that was flying high in the sky, shouting in a loud voice, “Terrible things will happen to [rebellious] people who live on the earth! Terrible things will happen when the three remaining angels blow their trumpets! And they are about to blow them!”
Miré, y escuché un águila que subió al cenit y dijo a gran voz: ¡Ay! ¡Ay! ¡Ay de los que viven en la tierra por causa de los otros toques de trompeta de los tres ángeles que están a punto de tocar!
