1 The fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from the sky which had fallen to the earth. The key to the pit of the abyss was given to him. 2 He opened the pit of the abyss, and smoke went up out of the pit, like the smoke from a burning furnace. The sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke from the pit. 3 Then out of the smoke came locusts on the earth, and power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 They were told that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only those people who don’t have God’s seal on their foreheads. 5 They were given power, not to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a person. 6 In those days people will seek death, and will in no way find it. They will desire to die, and death will flee from them.

7 The shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared for war. On their heads were something like golden crowns, and their faces were like people’s faces. 8 They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like those of lions. 9 They had breastplates like breastplates of iron. The sound of their wings was like the sound of many chariots and horses rushing to war. 10 They have tails like those of scorpions, with stingers. In their tails they have power to harm men for five months. 11 They have over them as king the angel of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is "Abaddon", but in Greek, he has the name "Apollyon".

12 The first woe is past. Behold, there are still two woes coming after this.

13 The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God, 14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, "Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates!"

15 The four angels were freed who had been prepared for that hour and day and month and year, so that they might kill one third of mankind. 16 The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million. I heard the number of them. 17 Thus I saw the horses in the vision and those who sat on them, having breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the horses’ heads resembled lions’ heads. Out of their mouths proceed fire, smoke, and sulfur. 18 By these three plagues, one third of mankind was killed: by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur, which proceeded out of their mouths. 19 For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails are like serpents, and have heads; and with them they harm.

20 The rest of mankind, who were not killed with these plagues, didn’t repent of the works of their hands, that they wouldn’t worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood, which can’t see, hear, or walk. 21 They didn’t repent of their murders, their sorceries, their sexual immorality, or 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.
