1 The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss.2 When he opened the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the Abyss.3 And out of the smoke locusts came down on the earth and were given power like that of scorpions of the earth.4 They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.5 They were not allowed to kill them but only to torture them for five months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes.6 During those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.7 The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. On their heads they wore something like crowns of gold, and their faces resembled human faces.8 Their hair was like women's hair, and their teeth were like lions' teeth.9 They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle.10 They had tails with stingers, like scorpions, and in their tails they had power to torment people for five months.11 They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon and in Greek is Apollyon (that is, Destroyer).12 The first woe is past; two other woes are yet to come.13 The sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice coming from the four horns of the golden altar that is before God.14 It said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates."15 And the four angels who had been kept ready for this very hour and day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind.16 The number of the mounted troops was twice ten thousand times ten thousand. I heard their number.17 The horses and riders I saw in my vision looked like this: Their breastplates were fiery red, dark blue, and yellow as sulfur. The heads of the horses resembled the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire, smoke and sulfur.18 A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke and sulfur that came out of their mouths.19 The power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails; for their tails were like snakes, having heads with which they inflict injury.20 The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood —idols that cannot see or hear or walk.21 Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts.

1 ثم بوق الملاك الخامس فرأيت كوكبا قد سقط من السماء الى الارض وأعطي مفتاح بئر الهاوية.2 ففتح بئر الهاوية فصعد دخان من البئر كدخان أتون عظيم فاظلمت الشمس والجو من دخان البئر.3 ومن الدخان خرج جراد على الارض فأعطي سلطانا كما لعقارب الارض سلطان.4 وقيل له ان لا يضر عشب الارض ولا شيئا اخضر ولا شجرة ما الا الناس فقط الذين ليس لهم ختم الله على جباههم.5 وأعطي ان لا يقتلهم بل ان يتعذبوا خمسة اشهر. وعذابه كعذاب عقرب اذا لدغ انسانا.6 وفي تلك الايام سيطلب الناس الموت ولا يجدونه ويرغبون ان يموتوا فيهرب الموت منهم.7 وشكل الجراد شبه خيل مهيّأة للحرب وعلى رؤوسها كأكاليل شبه الذهب ووجوهها كوجوه الناس.8 وكان لها شعر كشعر النساء وكانت اسنانها كاسنان الأسود.9 وكان لها دروع كدروع من حديد وصوت اجنحتها كصوت مركبات خيل كثيرة تجري الى قتال.10 ولها اذناب شبه العقارب وكانت في اذنابها حمات وسلطانها ان تؤذي الناس خمسة اشهر.11 ولها ملاك الهاوية ملكا عليها اسمه بالعبرانية أبدّون وله باليونانية اسم ابوليون.12 الويل الواحد مضى هوذا يأتي ويلان ايضا بعد هذا13 ثم بوق الملاك السادس فسمعت صوتا واحدا من اربعة قرون مذبح الذهب الذي امام الله14 قائلا للملاك السادس الذي معه البوق فك الاربعة الملائكة المقيدين عند النهر العظيم الفرات.15 فانفك الاربعة الملائكة المعدّون للساعة واليوم والشهر والسنة لكي يقتلوا ثلث الناس.16 وعدد جيوش الفرسان مئتا الف الف. وانا سمعت عددهم.17 وهكذا رأيت الخيل في الرؤيا والجالسين عليها. لهم دروع نارية واسمانجونية وكبريتية ورؤوس الخيل كرؤوس الأسود ومن افواهها يخرج نار ودخان وكبريت.18 من هذه الثلاثة قتل ثلث الناس من النار والدخان والكبريت الخارجة من افواهها.19 فان سلطانها هو في افواهها وفي اذنابها لان اذنابها شبه الحيّات ولها رؤوس وبها تضر.20 واما بقية الناس الذين لم يقتلوا بهذه الضربات فلم يتوبوا عن اعمال ايديهم حتى لا يسجدوا للشياطين واصنام الذهب والفضة والنحاس والحجر والخشب التي لا تستطيع ان تبصر ولا تسمع ولا تمشي21 ولا تابوا عن قتلهم ولا عن سحرهم ولا عن زناهم ولا عن سرقتهم
