| 1And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. | 1When the lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. |
| 2And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. | 2Then I saw the seven angels who stand in God's presence, and seven trumpets were given to them. |
| 3And 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. | 3Another angel came with a gold censer and stood at the altar. He was given a large quantity of incense to offer on the gold altar before the throne, along with the prayers of all the saints. |
| 4And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand. | 4The smoke from the incense and the prayers of the saints went up from the angel's hand to God. |
| 5And 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. | 5The angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it on the earth. Then there were peals of thunder, noises, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake. |
| 6And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. | 6The seven angels who had the seven trumpets got ready to blow them. |
| 7The 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. | 7When the first angel blew his trumpet, hail and fire were mixed with blood and thrown on the earth. One-third of the earth was burned up, one-third of the trees was burned up, and all the green grass was burned up. |
| 8And 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; | 8When the second angel blew his trumpet, something like a huge mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea. One-third of the sea turned into blood, |
| 9And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed. | 9one-third of the creatures that were living in the sea died, and one-third of the ships was destroyed. |
| 10And 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; | 10When the third angel blew his trumpet, a huge star blazing like a torch fell from heaven. It fell on one-third of the rivers and on the springs of water. |
| 11And 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. | 11The name of the star is Wormwood. One-third of the water turned into wormwood, and many people died from the water because it had turned bitter. |
| 12And 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. | 12When the fourth angel blew his trumpet, one-third of the sun, one-third of the moon, and one-third of the stars were struck so that one-third of them turned dark. One-third of the day was kept from having light, as was the night. |
| 13And 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! | 13Then I looked, and I heard an eagle flying overhead say in a loud voice, "How terrible, how terrible, how terrible for those living on the earth, because of the blasts of the remaining trumpets that the three angels are about to blow!" |
