일곱째 봉인과 나팔
1어린 양이 일곱째 봉인을 떼실 때에 하늘이 반 시간쯤 고요하였습니다.
2내가 보니 하나님 앞에 일곱 천사가 서 있는데 그들은 각각 나팔을 받았습니다.
3또 다른 천사가 금향로를 들고 와서 제단 앞에 섰습니다. 그 천사는 모든 성도들의 기도와 함께 보좌 앞에 있는 금제단에 드리려고 많은 향을 받았습니다.
4그때 향의 연기가 성도들의 기도와 함께 천사의 손에서 하나님 앞으로 올라갔습니다.
5그리고 천사가 향로를 가지고 와서 제단의 불을 가득 담아 땅에 던지자 천둥과 번개가 치며 지진과 요란한 소리가 났습니다.
6드디어 일곱 천사가 나팔 불 준비를 하였습니다.
7첫째 천사가 나팔을 불자 피 섞인 우박과 불이 땅에 떨어져 땅의 3분의 과 모든 나무의 3분의 과 풀이 모두 타 버렸습니다.
8둘째 천사가 나팔을 불자 불타는 큰 산과 같은 것이 바다에 던져져 바다의 3분의 이 피가 되고
9바다 안에 있는 생물의 3분의 이 죽고 배의 3분의 도 파괴되었습니다.
10셋째 천사가 나팔을 불자 횃불처럼 타는 큰 별 하나가 하늘에서 떨어져 강들의 3분의 과 여러 샘에 떨어졌습니다.
11이 별의 이름은 쑥이었으며 물의 3분의 이 쓰게 되어 그 쓴물을 먹고 많은 사람들이 죽었습니다.
12넷째 천사가 나팔을 불자 해와 달과 별의 3분의 이 충격을 받아 어두워졌으며 낮의 3분의 이 빛이 없고 밤도 그러했습니다.
13나는 또 지켜 보다가 공중에 날아가는 독수리 한 마리가 큰 소리로 “재난이다! 재난이다! 땅에 사는 사람들에게 재난이다! 아직도 세 천사가 불 나팔이 남아 있다” 하고 외치는 소리를 들었습니다.
The Seventh Seal and the Gold Cup
1The Lamb opened the seventh seal. Then there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
2I saw the seven angels who stand in front of God. Seven trumpets were given to them.
3Another angel came and stood at the altar. He had a shallow gold cup for burning incense. He was given a lot of incense to offer on the golden altar. The altar was in front of the throne. With the incense he offered the prayers of all God’s people. 4The smoke of the incense rose up from the angel’s hand. The prayers of God’s people rose up together with it. The smoke and the prayers went up in front of God. 5Then the angel took the gold cup and filled it with fire from the altar. He threw it down on the earth. There were rumblings and thunder, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.
The Trumpets
6Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets got ready to blow them.
7The first angel blew his trumpet. Hail and fire mixed with blood were thrown down on the earth. A third of the earth was burned up. A third of the trees were burned up. All the green grass was burned up.
8The second angel blew his trumpet. Something that looked like a huge mountain on fire was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood. 9A third of the living creatures in the sea died. A third of the ships were destroyed.
10The third angel blew his trumpet. Then a great star fell from the sky. It looked like a blazing torch. It fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. 11The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the water turned bitter. Many people died from it.
12The fourth angel blew his trumpet. Then a third of the sun was struck. A third of the moon was struck. A third of the stars were struck. So a third of each of them turned dark. Then a third of the day had no light. The same thing happened to a third of the night.
13As I watched, I heard an eagle that was flying high in the air. It called out in a loud voice, “How terrible! How terrible it will be for those living on the earth! How terrible! They will suffer as soon as the next three angels blow their trumpets!”
