¶ Apre sa, senkièm zanj lan kònen klewon l' lan. Mwen wè yon zetwal soti nan sièl la tonbe sou latè. Yo ba l' kle pou louvri pi ki mennen desann nan gwo twou san fon an.

Zetwal la louvri pi ki mennen nan gwo twou san fon an. Yon gwo lafimen soti ladan l', tankou lafimen yon gwo fou k'ap boule. Lafimen ki t'ap soti nan pi a bouche solèy la. Sièl la vin tou nwa.

Yon bann krikèt vèt soti nan lafimen an, yo mache ale toupatou sou latè. Yo te ba yo menm pouvwa ak eskòpyon.

Yo te di yo pou yo pa t' fè malè sou okenn zèb, ni sou okenn piebwa ni sou okenn lòt plant. Se sou moun sèlman pou yo te fè malè. Epi se pa sou tout moun non, sèlman sou moun ki pa t' pote mak letanp Bondye a sou fwon yo.

Krikèt yo pa t' gen dwa touye moun sa yo. Men, pandan senk mwa yo te gen dwa fè yo soufri. Krikèt yo fè moun yo soufri tankou si se eskòpyon ki te mòde yo.

Pandan senk mwa sa yo, moun va chache lanmò, men yo p'ap jwenn lanmò. Y'a anvi mouri, men lanmò va pase lwen yo.

Krikèt yo te sanble ak chwal ki pare pou al nan batay. Sou tèt yo chak te gen yon bagay ki sanble ak yon kouwòn lò. Figi yo menm te tankou figi moun.

Yo te gen cheve sou tèt yo tankou cheve fi. Dan yo menm te tankou dan lyon.

Sou lestonmak yo, yo te gen yon plak an fè pou pwoteje yo. Lè yo bat zèl yo, yo fè bri tankou yon bann kabwèt chwal ki pral nan batay.

10 Yo gen menm ke ak eskòpyon, ak yon pikan nan pwent ke a. Se avèk ke yo yo te gen pouvwa fè moun mechanste pandan senk mwa.

11 Yo te gen yon wa alatèt yo. Se zanj gwo twou san fon an. Nan lang ebre yo rele l': Abadon. Nan lang grèk yo rele l': Apolyon, ki vle di: moun k'ap krase brize a.

12 Premie malè a te pase. Te gen de (2) lòt malè ankò ki te gen pou vini apre sa.

13 ¶ Lè sa a, sizièm zanj lan kònen klewon l' lan. Mwen tande yon vwa ki t'ap soti nan kat kwen lotèl an lò ki te devan Bondye a.

14 Vwa a pale ak sizièm zanj ki te kenbe klewon an. Li di li konsa: Lage kat zanj ki mare nan chenn bò gwo larivyè Lefrat la.

15 Yo lage kat zanj yo. Yo te pare yo pou sa menm, pou lè sa a, pou jou sa a, nan mwa sa a, nan lanne sa a, pou yo te ka touye yon moun sou chak twa moun ki sou latè.

16 Yo di m' kantite sòlda sou chwal ki te genyen: Te gen desan milyon (200.000.000).

17 Men ki jan mwen te wè chwal yo ak kavalie yo nan vizyon an: Kavalie yo te gen yon kalite chemiz an fè pou pwoteje lestonmak yo. Chemiz yo te wouj kou dife, ble kou digo, jòn kou safran. Tèt chwal yo menm te tankou tèt lyon. Dife ansanm ak lafimen epi souf t'ap soti nan bouch yo.

18 Twa bagay sa yo ki t'ap soti nan bouch chwal yo, se te twa kalamite ki te touye yon moun sou chak twa moun sou latè.

19 Paske se nan bouch yo chwal yo te gen tout pouvwa sa a ansanm ak nan ke yo. Baton ke yo menm te sanble ak sèpan: yo te gen yon tèt pou yo te fè moun mechanste.

20 Malgre sa, rès moun sou latè yo, sa ki pa t' mouri anba kalamite sa yo, pa t' sispann adore Satan ak zidòl fèt an lò, an ajan, an bwonz, an wòch oswa an bwa, zidòl ki pa ka wè, ki pa ka tande, ki pa ka mache.

21 Wi, atousa, moun sa yo pa t' chanje jan yo t'ap viv la, yo pa t' sispann touye moun, fè maji, lage kò yo nan imoralite ak vòlò zafè moun.

The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth.(A) The star was given the key(B) to the shaft of the Abyss.(C) When he opened the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace.(D) The sun and sky were darkened(E) by the smoke from the Abyss.(F) And out of the smoke locusts(G) came down on the earth and were given power like that of scorpions(H) of the earth. They were told not to harm(I) the grass of the earth or any plant or tree,(J) but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.(K) They were not allowed to kill them but only to torture them for five months.(L) And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion(M) when it strikes. During those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.(N)

The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle.(O) On their heads they wore something like crowns of gold, and their faces resembled human faces.(P) Their hair was like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth.(Q) 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.(R) 10 They had tails with stingers, like scorpions, and in their tails they had power to torment people for five months.(S) 11 They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss,(T) whose name in Hebrew(U) is Abaddon(V) and in Greek is Apollyon (that is, Destroyer).

12 The first woe is past; two other woes are yet to come.(W)

13 The sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice coming from the four horns(X) of the golden altar that is before God.(Y) 14 It said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels(Z) who are bound at the great river Euphrates.”(AA) 15 And the four angels who had been kept ready for this very hour and day and month and year were released(AB) to kill a third(AC) of mankind.(AD) 16 The number of the mounted troops was twice ten thousand times ten thousand. I heard their number.(AE)

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(AF) came fire, smoke and sulfur.(AG) 18 A third(AH) of mankind was killed(AI) by the three plagues of fire, smoke and sulfur(AJ) 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(AK) of the work of their hands;(AL) they did not stop worshiping demons,(AM) and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk.(AN) 21 Nor did they repent(AO) of their murders, their magic arts,(AP) their sexual immorality(AQ) or their thefts.
