1 O quinto anjo tocou a trombeta. Vi então uma estrela cair do céu na terra, e foi-lhe dada a chave do poço do abismo;

2 ela o abriu e saiu do poço uma fumaça como a de uma grande fornalha. O sol e o ar obscureceram-se com a fumaça do poço.

3 Da fumaça saíram gafanhotos pela terra, e foi-lhes dado poder semelhante ao dos escorpiões da terra.

4 Mas foi-lhes dito que não causassem dano à erva, verdura, ou árvore alguma, mas somente aos homens que não têm o selo de Deus na fronte.

5 Foi-lhes ordenado que não os matassem, mas os afligissem por cinco meses. Seu tormento era como o da picada do escorpião.

6 Naqueles dias, os homens buscarão a morte e não a conseguirão; desejarão morrer, e a morte fugirá deles.

7 O aspecto desses gafanhotos era o de cavalos aparelhados para a guerra. Nas suas cabeças havia uma espécie de coroa com reflexos dourados. Seus rostos eram como rostos de homem,

8 seus cabelos como os de mulher e seus dentes, como os dentes de leão.

9 Seus tórax pareciam envoltos em ferro, e o ruído de suas asas era como o ruído de carros de muitos cavalos, correndo para a guerra.

10 Tinham caudas semelhantes à do escorpião, com ferrões e o poder de afligir os homens por cinco meses.

11 Têm eles por rei o anjo do abismo; chama-se em hebraico Abadon, e em grego, Apolion.

12 Terminado assim o primeiro ai, eis que, depois dele, vêm ainda dois outros.

13 O sexto anjo tocou a trombeta. Ouvi então uma voz que vinha dos quatro cantos do altar de ouro, que está diante de Deus,

14 e que dizia ao sexto anjo que tinha a trombeta: Solta os quatro Anjos que estão acorrentados à beira do grande rio Eufrates.

15 Então foram soltos os quatro Anjos que se conservavam preparados para a hora, o dia, o mês e o ano da matança da terça parte dos homens...

16 O número de soldados desta cavalaria era de duzentos milhões. Eu ouvi o seu número.

17 E foi assim que eu vi os cavalos e os que os montavam: estes últimos eram couraçados de uma chama sulfurosa azul. Os cavalos tinham crina como uma juba de leão e de suas narinas saíam fogo, fumaça e enxofre.

18 E uma terça parte dos homens foi morta por esses três flagelos {fogo, fumaça e enxofre} que lhes saíam das narinas.

19 Porque o poder nocivo dos cavalos estava também nas caudas; tinham cabeças como serpentes e causavam dano com elas.

20 Mas o restante dos homens, que não foram mortos por esses três flagelos, não se arrependeu das obras de suas mãos. Não cessaram de adorar o demônio e os ídolos de ouro, de prata, de bronze, de pedra e de madeira, que não podem ver, nem ouvir, nem andar.

21 Não se arrependeram de seus homicídios, seus malefícios, suas imundícies e furtos.

1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. 2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose 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 there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. 5 And to them it was given 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 he striketh a man. 6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. 7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. 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 running to battle. 10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months. 11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. 12 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.

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