Revelation, 8

1. And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.

1. When the Lamb opened the seventh seal there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.

2. And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.

2. Then I looked at the seven angels standing before God who 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.

3. Another angel came and stood before the altar of incense with a golden censer. He was given much incense to be offered with the prayers of all the holy ones, on the golden altar 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.

4. and the cloud of incense rose with the prayers of the holy ones from the hands of the angel to the presence of God.

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.

5. Then the angel took the censer and filled it with burning coals from the altar, and threw them on the earth: and there came thunder, lightning and earthquakes.

6. And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

6. The seven angels with the seven trumpets prepared to sound them.

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.

7. When the first angel blew his trumpet, there came hail and fire, mixed with blood, which fell on the earth. And a third of the earth was burned up with a third of the trees and the green grass.

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;

8. When the second angel blew his trumpet, something like a great mountain was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea was turned into 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.

9. At once, a third of the living creatures in the sea died and a third of the ships perished.

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;

10. When the third angel sounded his trumpet, a great star fell from heaven, like a ball of fire, on a third of the rivers and springs.

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.

11. The star is called Wormwood, and a third of the waters was turned into wormwood and many people died because of the water which had turned 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.

12. The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of the sun, the moon and the stars was affected. Daylight decreased one third, and the light at night as well.

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!

13. And my vision continued: I noticed an eagle flying through the highest heaven and crying with a loud voice, "Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the land when the last three angels sound their trumpets."
