Apocalipsis 8
1 Cuando abrió el séptimo sello, hubo silencio en el cielo durante una media hora.
And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
2 Vi a los siete ángeles que estaban delante de Dios, y se les dieron siete trompetas.
And I saw the seven angels who stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
3 Otro ángel vino y se puso de pie sobre el altar, con un incensario de oro. Se le dio mucho incienso para que lo añadiera a las oraciones de todos los santos en el altar de oro que estaba delante del trono.
And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given to him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
4 El humo del incienso, con las oraciones de los santos, subía ante Dios de la mano del ángel.
And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God out of the angel’s hand.
5 El ángel tomó el incensario, lo llenó con el fuego del altar y lo arrojó a la tierra. Siguieron truenos, sonidos, relámpagos y un terremoto.
And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it upon the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
6 Los siete ángeles que tenían las siete trompetas se prepararon para tocar.
And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
7 Sonó el primero, y siguió el granizo y el fuego, mezclados con sangre, y fueron arrojados a la tierra. Un tercio de la tierra se quemó, y un tercio de los árboles se quemó, y toda la hierba verde se quemó.
The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mixed 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 El segundo ángel tocó la trompeta, y algo parecido a una gran montaña ardiendo fue arrojado al mar. Un tercio del mar se convirtió en sangre,
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 y un tercio de los seres vivos que había en el mar murió. Un tercio de los barcos fue destruido.
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 El tercer ángel tocó la trompeta, y una gran estrella cayó del cielo, ardiendo como una antorcha, y cayó sobre la tercera parte de los ríos y sobre las fuentes de agua.
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 El nombre de la estrella es “Ajenjo”. Un tercio de las aguas se convirtió en ajenjo. Muchas personas murieron a causa de las aguas, porque se volvieron amargas.
And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter.
12 El cuarto ángel tocó la trompeta, y fue golpeada la tercera parte del sol, la tercera parte de la luna y la tercera parte de las estrellas, de modo que se oscureció la tercera parte de ellas, y el día no brilló durante la tercera parte, y la noche de la misma manera.
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 that the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
13 Vi y oí a un águila que volaba en medio del cielo y decía con gran voz: “¡Ay! ¡Ay! Ay de los que habitan en la tierra, a causa de los otros toques de las trompetas de los tres ángeles, que aún no han sonado!”
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!
