Apocalipsis 9
La Biblia de las Américas
La quinta trompeta
9 El quinto ángel tocó la trompeta(A), y vi una estrella que había caído del cielo(B) a la tierra, y se le dio la llave(C) del pozo del abismo(D). 2 Cuando abrió el pozo del abismo, subió humo(E) del pozo como el humo de un gran horno, y el sol y el aire(F) se oscurecieron por el humo del pozo. 3 Y del humo salieron langostas sobre[a] la tierra(G), y se les dio poder como tienen poder[b] los escorpiones de la tierra(H). 4 Se les dijo que no dañaran(I) la hierba de la tierra(J), ni ninguna cosa verde, ni ningún árbol, sino solo a los hombres que no tienen el sello de Dios en la frente(K). 5 No se les permitió matar a nadie[c], sino atormentarlos por cinco meses(L); y su tormento era como el tormento de un escorpión cuando pica[d] al hombre(M). 6 En aquellos días los hombres buscarán la muerte y no la hallarán(N); y ansiarán morir, y la muerte huirá[e] de ellos. 7 Y el aspecto[f] de las langostas era semejante al de caballos dispuestos para la batalla(O), y sobre sus cabezas tenían como coronas que parecían de oro, y sus caras eran como rostros humanos. 8 Tenían cabellos como cabellos de mujer, y sus dientes eran como de leones(P). 9 También tenían corazas como corazas de hierro; y el ruido de sus alas era como el estruendo de carros, de muchos caballos que se lanzan a la batalla(Q). 10 Tienen colas parecidas a escorpiones(R), y aguijones; y en sus colas está su poder para hacer daño a los hombres(S) por cinco meses(T). 11 Tienen sobre ellos por rey al ángel del abismo(U), cuyo nombre en hebreo(V) es Abadón[g](W), y en griego se llama Apolión[h].
12 El primer ¡ay(X)! ha pasado; he aquí, aún vienen dos ayes después de estas cosas.
La sexta trompeta
13 El sexto ángel tocó la trompeta, y oí una voz que salía de los cuatro[i] cuernos(Y) del altar de oro(Z) que está delante de Dios, 14 y decía al sexto ángel que tenía la trompeta: Suelta a los cuatro ángeles(AA) que están atados junto al gran río Eufrates(AB). 15 Y fueron desatados los cuatro ángeles que habían sido preparados para la hora, el día, el mes y el año(AC), para matar a la tercera parte de la humanidad[j](AD). 16 Y el número de los ejércitos de los jinetes era de doscientos millones(AE); yo escuché su número(AF). 17 Y así es como vi[k] en la visión(AG) los caballos y a los que los montaban: los jinetes tenían corazas color de fuego, de jacinto[l] y de azufre(AH); las cabezas de los caballos eran como cabezas de leones, y de sus bocas salía fuego(AI), humo y azufre(AJ). 18 La tercera parte(AK) de la humanidad[m] fue muerta por estas tres plagas: por el fuego(AL), el humo y el azufre que salían de sus bocas. 19 Porque el poder de los caballos está en su boca y en sus colas; pues sus colas son semejantes a serpientes, tienen cabezas y con ellas hacen daño. 20 Y el resto de la humanidad[n], los que no fueron muertos por estas plagas, no se arrepintieron(AM) de las obras de sus manos(AN) ni dejaron de[o] adorar a los demonios(AO) y a los ídolos de oro, de plata, de bronce, de piedra y de madera, que no pueden ver ni oír ni andar(AP); 21 y no se arrepintieron de sus homicidios(AQ) ni de sus hechicerías(AR) ni de su inmoralidad[p](AS) ni de sus robos.

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.

Revelation 9
King James Version
9 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.
