1 And at the sounding of the fifth angel I saw a star falling from heaven to the earth: and there was given to him the key of the great deep.2 And he made the great deep open and a smoke went up from it, like the smoke of a great oven; and the sun and the air were made dark because of the smoke.3 And from the smoke locusts came out on the earth; and power was given them, like the power of scorpions.4 And they were ordered to do no damage to the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only to such men as have not the mark of God on their brows.5 And orders were given them not to put them to death, but to give them great pain for five months: and their pain was as the pain from the wound of a scorpion.6 And in those days men will be hoping for death, and it will not come to them; and they will have a great desire for death, and death will go in flight from them.7 And the forms of the locusts were like horses made ready for war; and on their heads they had crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.8 And they had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.9 And they had breastplates like iron, and the sound of their wings was as the sound of carriages, like an army of horses rushing to the fight.10 And they have pointed tails like scorpions; and in their tails is their power to give men wounds for five months.11 They have over them as king the angel of the great deep: his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek language Apollyon.12 The first Trouble is past: see, there are still two Troubles to come.13 And at the sounding of the sixth angel a voice came to my ears from the horns of the gold altar which is before God,14 Saying to the sixth angel who had the horn, Make free the four angels who are chained at the great river Euphrates.15 And the four angels were made free, who were ready for the hour and day and month and year, that they might put to death a third part of men.16 And the number of the armies of the horsemen was twice ten thousand times ten thousand: the number of them came to my ears.17 And so I saw the horses in the vision, and those who were seated on them, having breastplates of fire and glass and of burning stone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire and smoke and a smell of burning.18 By these evils a third part of men was put to death, by the fire, and the smoke, and the burning smell which came out of their mouths.19 For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails: because their tails are like snakes, and have heads, and with them they give wounds.20 And the rest of the people, who were not put to death by these evils, were not turned from the works of their hands, but went on giving worship to evil spirits, and images of gold and silver and brass and stone and wood which have no power of seeing or hearing or walking:21 And they had no regret for putting men to death, or for their use of secret arts, or for the evil desires of the flesh, or for taking the property of others.

1 Et quintus angelus tuba cecinit : et vidi stellam de clo cecidisse in terram, et data est ei clavis putei abyssi. 2 Et aperuit puteum abyssi : et ascendit fumus putei, sicut fumus fornacis magn : et obscuratus est sol, et ar de fumo putei : 3 et de fumo putei exierunt locust in terram, et data est illis potestas, sicut habent potestatem scorpiones terr : 4 et prceptum est illis ne lderent fnum terr, neque omne viride, neque omnem arborem : nisi tantum homines, qui non habent signum Dei in frontibus suis : 5 et datum est illis ne occiderent eos : sed ut cruciarent mensibus quinque : et cruciatus eorum, ut cruciatus scorpii cum percutit hominem. 6 Et in diebus illis qurent homines mortem, et non invenient eam : et desiderabunt mori, et fugiet mors ab eis. 7 Et similitudines locustarum, similes equis paratis in prlium : et super capita earum tamquam coron similes auro : et facies earum tamquam facies hominum. 8 Et habebant capillos sicut capillos mulierum. Et dentes earum, sicut dentes leonum erant : 9 et habebant loricas sicut loricas ferreas, et vox alarum earum sicut vox curruum equorum multorum currentium in bellum : 10 et habebant caudas similes scorpionum, et aculei erant in caudis earum : et potestas earum nocere hominibus mensibus quinque : 11 et habebant super se regem angelum abyssi cui nomen hebraice Abaddon, grce autem Apollyon, latine habens nomen Exterminans. 12 V unum abiit, et ecce veniunt adhuc duo v post hc.13 Et sextus angelus tuba cecinit : et audivi vocem unam ex quatuor cornibus altaris aurei, quod est ante oculos Dei, 14 dicentem sexto angelo, qui habebat tubam : Solve quatuor angelos, qui alligati sunt in flumine magno Euphrate. 15 Et soluti sunt quatuor angeli, qui parati erant in horam, et diem, et mensem, et annum, ut occiderent tertiam partem hominum. 16 Et numerus equestris exercitus vicies millies dena millia. Et audivi numerum eorum. 17 Et ita vidi equos in visione : et qui sedebant super eos, habebant loricas igneas, et hyacinthinas, et sulphureas, et capita eorum erant tamquam capita leonum : et de ore eorum procedit ignis, et fumus, et sulphur. 18 Et ab his tribus plagis occisa est tertia pars hominum de igne, et de fumo, et sulphure, qu procedebant de ore ipsorum. 19 Potestas enim equorum in ore eorum est, et in caudis eorum, nam caud eorum similes serpentibus, habentes capita : et in his nocent. 20 Et ceteri homines, qui non sunt occisi in his plagis, neque pnitentiam egerunt de operibus manuum suarum, ut non adorarent dmonia, et simulacra aurea, et argentea, et rea, et lapidea, et lignea, qu neque videre possunt, neque audire, neque ambulare, 21 et non egerunt pnitentiam ab homicidiis suis, neque a veneficiis suis, neque a fornicatione sua, neque a furtis suis.
