1Then the fifth angel sounded [his] trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to earth, and it was given the key to the pit of the Abyss. 1Καὶ ὁ πέμπτος ἄγγελος ἐσάλπισεν καὶ εἶδον ἀστέρα ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ πεπτωκότα εἰς τὴν γῆν καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ ἡ κλεὶς τοῦ φρέατος τῆς ἀβύσσου
2[The star] opened the pit of the Abyss, and smoke rose out of [it] like [the] smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the pit. 2καὶ ἤνοιξεν τὸ φρέαρ τῆς ἀβύσσου καὶ ἀνέβη καπνὸς ἐκ τοῦ φρέατος ὡς καπνὸς καμίνου μεγάλης καὶ ἐσκοτώθη ὁ ἥλιος καὶ ὁ ἀὴρ ἐκ τοῦ καπνοῦ τοῦ φρέατος
3And out of the smoke, locusts descended on the earth, and they were given power like [that of] the scorpions of the earth. 3Καὶ ἐκ τοῦ καπνοῦ ἐξῆλθον ἀκρίδες εἰς τὴν γῆν καὶ ἐδόθη αὐταῖς* ἐξουσία ὡς ἔχουσιν ἐξουσίαν οἱ σκορπίοι τῆς γῆς
4They were told not to harm the grass of the earth [or] any plant [or] tree, but only those who did not have the seal of God on [their] foreheads. 4καὶ ἐρρέθη αὐταῖς* ἵνα μὴ ἀδικήσουσιν τὸν χόρτον τῆς γῆς οὐδὲ πᾶν χλωρὸν οὐδὲ πᾶν δένδρον εἰ μὴ τοὺς ἀνθρώπους οἵτινες οὐκ ἔχουσι* τὴν σφραγῖδα τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐπὶ τῶν μετώπων
5[The locusts] were not given power to kill them, but only to torment [them] [for] five months, and their torment [was] like the stinging of a scorpion. 5καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτοῖς ἵνα μὴ ἀποκτείνωσιν αὐτούς ἀλλ’ ἵνα βασανισθήσονται μῆνας πέντε καὶ ὁ βασανισμὸς αὐτῶν ὡς βασανισμὸς σκορπίου ὅταν παίσῃ ἄνθρωπον
6In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, [but] death will escape them. 6καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις ζητήσουσιν οἱ ἄνθρωποι τὸν θάνατον καὶ οὐ μὴ εὑρήσουσιν αὐτόν καὶ ἐπιθυμήσουσιν ἀποθανεῖν καὶ φεύγει ὁ θάνατος ἀπ’ αὐτῶν
7And the locusts looked like horses prepared for battle, [with something] like crowns of gold on their heads, and faces like [the] faces of men. 7Καὶ τὰ ὁμοιώματα τῶν ἀκρίδων ὅμοια* ἵπποις ἡτοιμασμένοις εἰς πόλεμον καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν ὡς στέφανοι ὅμοιοι χρυσῷ καὶ τὰ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν ὡς πρόσωπα ἀνθρώπων
8They had hair like [that] of women, and teeth like [those] of lions. 8καὶ εἶχον* τρίχας ὡς τρίχας γυναικῶν καὶ οἱ ὀδόντες αὐτῶν ὡς λεόντων ἦσαν
9They also had thoraxes like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings [was] like [the] roar of many horses [and] chariots rushing into battle. 9καὶ εἶχον θώρακας ὡς θώρακας σιδηροῦς καὶ ἡ φωνὴ τῶν πτερύγων αὐτῶν ὡς φωνὴ ἁρμάτων ἵππων πολλῶν τρεχόντων εἰς πόλεμον
10They had tails with stingers like scorpions, [which] had the power to injure people for five months. 10καὶ ἔχουσιν οὐρὰς ὁμοίας σκορπίοις καὶ κέντρα καὶ ἐν ταῖς οὐραῖς αὐτῶν ἡ ἐξουσία αὐτῶν ἀδικῆσαι τοὺς ἀνθρώπους μῆνας πέντε
11They were ruled by a king, the angel of the Abyss. His name in Hebrew [is] Abaddon, and in Greek [it is] Apollyon. 11ἔχουσιν ἐπ’ αὐτῶν βασιλέα τὸν ἄγγελον τῆς ἀβύσσου ὄνομα αὐτῷ Ἑβραϊστί Ἀβαδδών καὶ ἐν τῇ Ἑλληνικῇ ὄνομα ἔχει Ἀπολλύων
12The first woe has passed. Behold, two woes [are] still to follow. 12Ἡ Οὐαὶ ἡ μία ἀπῆλθεν ἰδοὺ ἔρχεται ἔτι δύο Οὐαὶ μετὰ ταῦτα
13Then the sixth angel sounded [his] trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God 13Καὶ ὁ ἕκτος ἄγγελος ἐσάλπισεν καὶ ἤκουσα φωνὴν μίαν ἐκ τῶν τεσσάρων κεράτων τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου τοῦ χρυσοῦ τοῦ ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ
14saying to the sixth angel with the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” 14λέγοντα τῷ ἕκτῳ ἀγγέλῳ ὁ ἔχων τὴν σάλπιγγα Λῦσον τοὺς τέσσαρας ἀγγέλους τοὺς δεδεμένους ἐπὶ τῷ ποταμῷ τῷ μεγάλῳ Εὐφράτῃ
15[So] the four angels who had been prepared for [this] hour and day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind. 15καὶ ἐλύθησαν οἱ τέσσαρες ἄγγελοι οἱ ἡτοιμασμένοι εἰς τὴν ὥραν καὶ ἡμέραν καὶ μῆνα καὶ ἐνιαυτόν ἵνα ἀποκτείνωσιν τὸ τρίτον τῶν ἀνθρώπων
16And the number of mounted troops [was] two hundred million; I heard their number. 16καὶ ὁ ἀριθμὸς τῶν στρατευμάτων τοῦ ἱππικοῦ δισμυριάδες* μυριάδων ἤκουσα τὸν ἀριθμὸν αὐτῶν
17[Now] the horses and riders in [my] vision looked like this: [The riders] had breastplates [the colors of] fire, sapphire, and brimstone. The heads of the horses [were] like [the] heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone. 17Καὶ οὕτως εἶδον τοὺς ἵππους ἐν τῇ ὁράσει καὶ τοὺς καθημένους ἐπ’ αὐτῶν ἔχοντας θώρακας πυρίνους καὶ ὑακινθίνους καὶ θειώδεις καὶ αἱ κεφαλαὶ τῶν ἵππων ὡς κεφαλαὶ λεόντων καὶ ἐκ τῶν στομάτων αὐτῶν ἐκπορεύεται πῦρ καὶ καπνὸς καὶ θεῖον
18A third of mankind was killed by [the] three plagues of fire, smoke, and brimstone that proceeded from their mouths. 18ἀπὸ τῶν τριῶν πληγῶν τούτων ἀπεκτάνθησαν τὸ τρίτον τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐκ τοῦ πυρὸς καὶ τοῦ καπνοῦ καὶ τοῦ θείου τοῦ ἐκπορευομένου ἐκ τῶν στομάτων αὐτῶν
19For the power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails; indeed, their tails [were] like snakes, having heads with which to inflict harm. 19ἡ γὰρ ἐξουσία τῶν ἵππων ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν ἐστιν καὶ ἐν ταῖς οὐραῖς αὐτῶν αἱ γὰρ οὐραὶ αὐτῶν ὅμοιαι ὄφεσιν ἔχουσαι κεφαλάς καὶ ἐν αὐταῖς ἀδικοῦσιν
20The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the works of their hands. They did not stop worshiping demons and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood, which cannot see [or] hear [or] walk. 20‹Καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων οἳ οὐκ ἀπεκτάνθησαν ἐν ταῖς πληγαῖς ταύταις οὐδὲ μετενόησαν ἐκ τῶν ἔργων τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν ἵνα μὴ προσκυνήσουσιν τὰ δαιμόνια καὶ τὰ εἴδωλα τὰ χρυσᾶ καὶ τὰ ἀργυρᾶ καὶ τὰ χαλκᾶ καὶ τὰ λίθινα καὶ τὰ ξύλινα ἃ οὔτε βλέπειν δύνανται οὔτε ἀκούειν οὔτε περιπατεῖν›
21Furthermore, they did not repent of their murder, sorcery, sexual immorality, [and] theft. 21καὶ οὐ μετενόησαν ἐκ τῶν φόνων αὐτῶν οὔτε ἐκ τῶν φαρμάκων αὐτῶν οὔτε ἐκ τῆς πορνείας αὐτῶν οὔτε ἐκ τῶν κλεμμάτων αὐτῶν
