启示录 9
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
吹第五支号
9 第五位天使吹响号角，我就看见从天上坠落到地上的一颗星。它被赐予了无底坑口的钥匙。 2 它打开了无底坑口，就有烟从坑口里往上冒，好像大[a]火炉的烟，甚至太阳和天空因坑口的烟而变为黑暗。 3 有蝗虫从烟中出来，到了地上；它们被赐予了能力，就像地上的蝎子所具有的能力那样。 4 有话吩咐它们不可伤害地上的草、任何绿色植物、任何树木，只可伤害那些额上没有神印记的人； 5 可是不准许杀死这些人，只可使他们受折磨五个月。他们所受的折磨，就像人被蝎子螫到时的折磨那样。 6 在那些日子里，人们将会求死，却绝不得死；他们渴望死，死却逃避他们。
7 这些蝗虫的样式仿佛是所预备好的要出战的马。它们的头上像有类似金子的冠冕；它们的脸面像人的脸面； 8 它们有头发像女人的头发；它们的牙齿像狮子的牙齿； 9 它们有护胸甲像铁甲；它们翅膀的声音像许多马匹的战车奔驰出战的声音； 10 它们有尾巴仿佛蝎子，又有毒刺，它们的威力在它们的尾巴上，可以伤害人五个月。 11 有一个王统管它们，就是那无底坑的使者[b]；他的名字，希伯来语是“阿巴顿[c]”，按希腊语的名字是“阿波伦[d]”。 12 第一个灾祸过去了。看哪，这些事以后还有两个灾祸就要来临。
吹第六支号
13 第六位天使吹响号角，我就听见一个声音从神面前金祭坛的四只[e]角传来， 14 对拿着号角的第六位天使说：“把那捆绑在幼发拉底大河的四个使者[f]释放出来！” 15 于是那四个使者[g]就被释放了。他们是为此年、此月、此日、此时所预备好的，为要杀死人类的三分之一。 16 骑兵的数目有两亿[h]；我听见了它们的数目。 17 我在异象中看见的那些马和骑马的是这样：他们穿着火红色、紫玛瑙色、硫磺色的护胸甲；马的头像狮子的头，从它们的口中有火、烟、硫磺喷出来。 18 由于这三样灾害[i]，就是从马口中所喷出的火、烟、硫磺，人类的三分之一被杀了。 19 原来这些马的[j]威力在它们的口中和尾巴上，因为它们的尾巴仿佛蛇，有头；它们用这些头来伤害人。
20 可是，其余没有被这些灾害所杀的人，还是不悔改离开自己手所做的，不停止[k]拜鬼魔和那些金、银、铜、石、木的偶像——它们既不能看、也不能听、更不能走。 21 他们也不悔改离开自己那些杀人、邪术[l]、淫乱、偷窃之事。

Revelation 9
New King James Version
Fifth Trumpet: The Locusts from the Bottomless Pit
9 Then the fifth angel sounded: (A)And I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to (B)the [a]bottomless pit. 2 And he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. So the (C)sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit. 3 Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, (D)as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 They were commanded (E)not to harm (F)the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have (G)the seal of God on their foreheads. 5 And [b]they were not given authority to kill them, (H)but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man. 6 In those days (I)men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them.
7 (J)The shape of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. (K)On their heads were crowns of something like gold, (L)and their faces were like the faces of men. 8 They had hair like women’s hair, and (M)their teeth were like lions’ teeth. 9 And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was (N)like the sound of chariots with many horses running into battle. 10 They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men five months. 11 And they had as king over them (O)the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is [c]Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name [d]Apollyon.
12 (P)One woe is past. Behold, still two more woes are coming after these things.
Sixth Trumpet: The Angels from the Euphrates
13 Then the sixth angel sounded: And I heard a voice from the four horns of the (Q)golden altar which is before God, 14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound (R)at the great river Euphrates.” 15 So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a (S)third of mankind. 16 Now (T)the number of the army (U)of the horsemen was two hundred million; (V)I heard the number of them. 17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision: those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; (W)and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone. 18 By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed—by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their mouths. 19 For [e]their power is in their mouth and in their tails; (X)for their tails are like serpents, having heads; and with them they do harm.
20 But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, (Y)did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship (Z)demons, (AA)and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk. 21 And they did not repent of their murders (AB)or their [f]sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.

Revelation 9
English Standard Version
9 And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and (A)I saw a star fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given (B)the key to the shaft of (C)the bottomless pit.[a] 2 He opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and from the shaft (D)rose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace, and (E)the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft. 3 Then from the smoke came (F)locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth. 4 They were told (G)not to harm (H)the grass of the earth or any green plant or any tree, but only those people who do not have (I)the seal of God on their foreheads. 5 They were allowed to torment them (J)for five months, but not to kill them, and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings someone. 6 And in those days (K)people will seek death and will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them.
7 (L)In appearance the locusts were like horses prepared for battle: (M)on their heads were what looked like crowns of gold; their faces were (N)like human faces, 8 their hair like women's hair, and (O)their teeth like lions' teeth; 9 they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the noise of their wings was (P)like the noise of many chariots with (Q)horses rushing into battle. 10 They have tails and stings like scorpions, and their power to hurt people (R)for five months is in their tails. 11 They have (S)as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit. His name in Hebrew is (T)Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Apollyon.[b]
12 (U)The first woe has passed; behold, two woes are still to come.
13 Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from (V)the four horns of the golden altar before God, 14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release (W)the four angels who are bound at (X)the great river Euphrates.” 15 So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, were released (Y)to kill a third of mankind. 16 The number of (Z)mounted troops was (AA)twice ten thousand times ten thousand; (AB)I heard their number. 17 And this is how I saw the horses in my vision and those who rode them: they wore breastplates the color of fire and of sapphire[c] and of sulfur, and the heads of the horses were (AC)like lions' heads, and fire and smoke and sulfur came out of their mouths. 18 By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed, by the fire and smoke and sulfur coming 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 with heads, and by means of them they wound.
20 The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, (AD)did not repent of (AE)the works of their hands nor give up worshiping (AF)demons (AG)and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk, 21 nor did they repent of their murders or their (AH)sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.
