1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from heaven fallen unto the earth: and there was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss. 2 And he opened the pit of the abyss; and there went up a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. 3 And out of the smoke came forth locusts upon the earth; and power was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 And it was said unto them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only such men as have not the seal of God on their foreheads. 5 And it was given them that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when it striketh a man. 6 And in those days men shall seek death, and shall in no wise find it; and they shall desire to die, and death fleeth from them. 7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared for war; and upon their heads as it were crowns like unto gold, and their faces were as men’s faces. 8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. 9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots, of many horses rushing to war. 10 And they have tails like unto scorpions, and stings; and in their tails is their power to hurt men five months. 11 They have over them as king the angel of the abyss: his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek tongue he hath the name Apollyon.

12 The first Woe is past: behold, there come yet two Woes hereafter.

13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God, 14 one saying to the sixth angel that had the trumpet, Loose the four angels that are bound at the great river Euphrates. 15 And the four angels were loosed, that had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, that they should kill the third part of men. 16 And the number of the armies of the horsemen was twice ten thousand times ten thousand: I heard the number of them. 17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates as of fire and of hyacinth and of brimstone: and the heads of the horses are as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths proceedeth fire and smoke and brimstone. 18 By these three plagues was the third part of men killed, by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone, which proceeded out of their mouths. 19 For the power of the horses is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails are like unto serpents, and have heads; and with them they hurt. 20 And the rest of mankind, who were not killed with these plagues, repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood; which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk: 21 and they repented not of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

1 Ja viies Ingel puhus pasunat. Siis ma nägin tähe taevast maa peale kukkunud olevat, ja temale anti sügavuse kaevu võti.

2 Ja ta avas sügavuse kaevu, ja kaevust tõusis suits otsekui suure ahju suits. Ja päike ja õhk läksid pimedaks kaevu suitsust.

3 Ja suitsust väljusid rohutirtsud maa peale ja neile anti meelevald, nagu skorpionidel on meelevald maa peal.

4 Ja neile öeldi, et nad ei tohi kurja teha ei maa rohule ega millelegi, mis haljas on, ega ühelegi puule, vaid ainult inimestele, kellel ei ole Jumala pitserit otsaesisel.

5 Ja neile anti käsk, et nad neid ei tapaks, vaid et nad neid piinaksid viis kuud; ja nende piinamine on otsekui skorpioni piinamine, kui ta inimest nõelab.

6 Ja neil päevil inimesed otsivad surma ega leia seda mitte, ja püüavad surra, aga surm põgeneb nende eest!

7 Ja rohutirtsud olid välimuselt sõjaks valmistatud hobuste sarnased ja neil olid peas pärjad otsekui kullast ja nende nägu oli nagu inimeste nägu;

8 ja neil olid juuksed nagu naiste juuksed ja nende hambad olid otsekui lõukoerte hambad.

9 Ja neil olid soomusrüüd, otsekui raudrüüd, ja nende tiibade kahin oli otsekui vankrite mürin, kui palju hobuseid jookseb sõtta.

10 Ja neil olid sabad ja astlad nagu skorpionidel, ja nende sabades oli võim inimestele kahju teha viis kuud.

11 Ja neil oli kuningaks sügavuse Ingel; tema nimi on heebrea keeli Abadoon ja kreeka keeli Apollüon.

12 Esimene häda on möödas; vaata, kaks häda tuleb veel pärast seda!

13 Ja kuues Ingel puhus pasunat. Siis ma kuulsin üht häält Jumala ees oleva kuldaltari neljast nurgast;

14 see ütles kuuendale Inglile, kelle käes oli pasun: „Päästa lahti need neli Inglit, kes on seotud suure Eufrati jõe ääres!"

15 Siis päästeti lahti neli Inglit, kes on valmis tunniks ja päevaks ja kuuks ja aastaks, et tappa kolmas osa inimesi.

16 Ja ratsaväelaste arv on kakskümmend tuhat korda kümme tuhat; ma kuulsin nende arvu.

17 Ja nõnda ma nägin nägemuses hobuseid ja nende seljas istujaid, ja neil olid tulekarva ja purpursinised ja väävlikarva soomusrüüd; ja hobuste pead olid nagu lõukoerte pead, ja nende suust käis välja tuld ja suitsu ja väävlit.

18 Neist kolmest nuhtlusest sai surma kolmas osa inimesi tule ja suitsu ja väävli läbi, mis nende hobuste suust välja käis.

19 Sest hobuste võim on nende suus ja nende sabades; sest nende sabad on madude sarnased; neil on pead ja nendega nad teevad kahju.

20 Aga järelejäänud inimesed, keda neis nuhtlustes ei surmatud, ei pöördunud siiski mitte oma käte tegudest, et nad poleks kummardanud kurje vaime ning kuld- ja hõbe- ja vask- ja kivi- ja puujumalaid, kes ei või näha ega kuulda ega kõndida.

21 Ja nad ei pöördunud oma tapmistest ega oma nõidustest, ei oma hoorusest ega oma vargustest.
