¹And when he openeth the seventh seal, there came silence in the heaven about half-an-hour,

¹ሰባተኛውንም ማኅተም በፈታ ጊዜ እኵል ሰዓት የሚያህል ዝምታ በሰማይ ሆነ።

²and I saw the seven messengers who before God have stood, and there were given to them seven trumpets,

²በእግዚአብሔርም ፊት የሚቆሙትን ሰባቱን መላእክት አየሁ፥ ሰባትም መለከት ተሰጣቸው።

³and another messenger did come, and he stood at the altar, having a golden censer, and there was given to him much perfume, that he may give [it] to the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar that [is] before the throne,

³ሌላም መልአክ መጣና የወርቅ ጥና ይዞ በመሰዊያው አጠገብ ቆመ፤ በዙፋኑም ፊት ባለው በወርቅ መሰዊያ ላይ ለቅዱሳን ሁሉ ጸሎት እንዲጨምረው ብዙ ዕጣን ተሰጠው።

⁴and go up did the smoke of the perfumes to the prayers of the saints out of the hand of the messenger, before God;

⁴የዕጣኑም ጢስ ከቅዱሳን ጸሎት ጋር ከመልአኩ እጅ በእግዚአብሔር ፊት ወጣ።

⁵and the messenger took the censer, and did fill it out of the fire of the altar, and did cast [it] to the earth, and there came voices, and thunders, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

⁵መልአኩም ጥናውን ይዞ የመሰዊያውን እሳት ሞላበት ወደ ምድርም ጣለው፤ ነጐድጓድና ድምፅም መብረቅም መናወጥም ሆነ።

⁶And the seven messengers who are having the seven trumpets did prepare themselves that they may sound;

⁶ሰባቱንም መለከት የያዙ ሰባቱ መላእክት ሊነፉ ተዘጋጁ።

⁷and the first messenger did sound, and there came hail and fire, mingled with blood, and it was cast to the land, and the third of the trees was burnt up, and all the green grass was burnt up.

⁷ፊተኛውም መልአክ ነፋ፤ ደምም የተቀላቀለበት በረዶና እሳት ሆነ፥ ወደ ምድርም ተጣለ፤ የምድርም ሲሶው ተቃጠለ የዛፎችም ሲሶው ተቃጠለ የለመለመም ሣር ሁሉ ተቃጠለ።

⁸And the second messenger did sound, and as it were a great mountain with fire burning was cast into the sea, and the third of the sea became blood,

⁸ሁለተኛውም መልአክ ነፋ፤ በእሳት የሚቃጠል ታላቅ ተራራን የሚመስል ነገር በባሕር ተጣለ፤ የባሕርም ሲሶው ደም ሆነ

⁹and die did the third of the creatures that [are] in the sea, those having life, and the third of the ships were destroyed.

⁹በባሕርም ከሚኖሩ ሕይወት ካላቸው ፍጥረቶች ሲሶው ሞተ የመርከቦችም ሲሶው ጠፋ።

¹⁰And the third messenger did sound, and there fell out of the heaven a great star, burning as a lamp, and it did fall upon the third of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters,

¹⁰ሦስተኛውም መልአክ ነፋ፤ እንደ ችቦም የሚቃጠል ታላቅ ኮከብ ከሰማይ ወደቀ፥ በወንዞችና በውኃም ምንጮች ሲሶ ላይ ወደቀ። የኮከቡም ስም እሬቶ ይባላል።

¹¹and the name of the star is called Wormwood, and the third of the waters doth become wormwood, and many of the men did die of the waters, because they were made bitter.

¹¹የውኃውም ሲሶ መራራ ሆነ መራራም ስለተደረገ በውኃው ጠንቅ ብዙ ሰዎች ሞቱ።

¹²And the fourth messenger did sound, and smitten was the third of the sun, and the third of the moon, and the third of the stars, that darkened may be the third of them, and that the day may not shine — the third of it, and the night in like manner.

¹²አራተኛውም መልአክ ነፋ፤ የፀሐይ ሲሶና የጨረቃ ሲሶ የከዋክብትም ሲሶ ተመታ፥ የእነዚህ ሲሶ ይጨልም ዘንድ፥ የቀንም ሲሶው እንዳያበራ፥ እንዲሁም የሌሊት።

¹³And I saw, and I heard one messenger, flying in the mid-heaven, saying with a great voice, `Wo, wo, wo, to those dwelling upon the land from the rest of the voices of the trumpet of the three messengers who are about to sound.`

¹³አየሁም፥ አንድም ንስር በሰማይ መካከል እየበረረ በታላቅ ድምፅ። ሊነፉ ያላቸው የሦስቱ መላእክት መለከት ስለሚቀረው ድምፅ በምድር ላይ ለሚኖሩት ወዮላቸው፥ ወዮላቸው፥ ወዮላቸው ሲል ሰማሁ።
