prakāśitaṁ 8
1 anantaraṁ saptamamudrāyāṁ tena mocitāyāṁ sārddhadaṇḍakālaṁ svargo niḥśabdo'bhavat|
When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
2 aparam aham īśvarasyāntike tiṣṭhataḥ saptadūtān apaśyaṁ tebhyaḥ saptatūryyo'dīyanta|
I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.
3 tataḥ param anya eko dūta āgataḥ sa svarṇadhūpādhāraṁ gṛhītvā vedimupātiṣṭhat sa ca yat siṁhāsanasyāntike sthitāyāḥ suvarṇavedyā upari sarvveṣāṁ pavitralokānāṁ prārthanāsu dhūpān yojayet tadarthaṁ pracuradhūpāstasmai dattāḥ|
Another angel came and stood over the altar, having a golden censer. Much incense was given to him to offer up, with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar which was before the throne.
4 tatastasya dūtasya karāt pavitralokānāṁ prārthanābhiḥ saṁyuktadhūpānāṁ dhūma īśvarasya samakṣaṁ udatiṣṭhat|
The smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel's hand.
5 paścāt sa dūto dhūpādhāraṁ gṛhītvā vedyā vahninā pūrayitvā pṛthivyāṁ nikṣiptavān tena ravā meghagarjjanāni vidyuto bhūmikampaścābhavan|
The angel took the censer, and he filled it with the fire of the altar, and threw it on the earth. There followed thunders, sounds, lightnings, and an earthquake.
6 tataḥ paraṁ saptatūrī rdhārayantaḥ saptadūtāstūrī rvādayitum udyatā abhavan|
The seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
7 prathamena tūryyāṁ vāditāyāṁ raktamiśritau śilāvahnī sambhūya pṛthivyāṁ nikṣiptau tena pṛthivyāstṛtīyāṁśo dagdhaḥ, tarūṇāmapi tṛtīyāṁśo dagdhaḥ, haridvarṇatṛṇāni ca sarvvāṇi dagdhāni|
And the first sounded, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. One third of the earth was burnt up, and one third of the trees were burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
8 anantaraṁ dvitīyadūtena tūryyāṁ vāditāyāṁ vahninā prajvalito mahāparvvataḥ sāgare nikṣiptastena sāgarasya tṛtīyāṁśo raktībhūtaḥ
The second angel sounded, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea. One third of the sea became blood,
9 sāgare sthitānāṁ saprāṇānāṁ sṛṣṭavastūnāṁ tṛtīyāṁśo mṛtaḥ, arṇavayānānām api tṛtīyāṁśo naṣṭaḥ|
and one third of the living creatures which were in the sea died. One third of the ships were destroyed.
10 aparaṁ tṛtīyadūtena tūryyāṁ vāditāyāṁ dīpa iva jvalantī ekā mahatī tārā gagaṇāt nipatya nadīnāṁ jalaprasravaṇānāñcoparyyāvatīrṇā|
The third angel sounded, and a great star fell from the sky, burning like a torch, and it fell on one third of the rivers, and on the springs of the waters.
11 tasyāstārāyā nāma nāgadamanakamiti, tena toyānāṁ tṛtīyāṁśe nāgadamanakībhūte toyānāṁ tiktatvāt bahavo mānavā mṛtāḥ|
The name of the star is called "Wormwood." One third of the waters became wormwood. Many people died from the waters, because they were made bitter.
12 aparaṁ caturthadūtena tūryyāṁ vāditāyāṁ sūryyasya tṛtīyāṁśaścandrasya tṛtīyāṁśo nakṣatrāṇāñca tṛtīyāṁśaḥ prahṛtaḥ, tena teṣāṁ tṛtīyāṁśe 'ndhakārībhūte divasastṛtīyāṁśakālaṁ yāvat tejohīno bhavati niśāpi tāmevāvasthāṁ gacchati|
The fourth angel sounded, and one third of the sun was struck, and one third of the moon, and one third of the stars; so that one third of them would be darkened, and the day would not shine for one third of it, and the night in the same way.
13 tadā nirīkṣamāṇena mayākāśamadhyenābhipatata ekasya dūtasya ravaḥ śrutaḥ sa uccai rgadati, aparai ryaistribhi rdūtaistūryyo vāditavyāsteṣām avaśiṣṭatūrīdhvanitaḥ pṛthivīnivāsināṁ santāpaḥ santāpaḥ santāpaśca sambhaviṣyati|
I saw, and I heard an eagle, flying in mid heaven, saying with a loud voice, "Woe. Woe. Woe for those who dwell on the earth, because of the other voices of the trumpets of the three angels, who are yet to sound."
