Pahayag 9
Magandang Balita Biblia
9 Hinipan ng ikalimang anghel ang kanyang trumpeta at nakita kong nahulog sa lupa ang isang bituin; ibinigay rito ang susi sa bukana ng napakalalim na hukay. 2 Binuksan(A) ng bituin ang napakalalim na hukay at may lumabas na makapal na usok, tulad ng usok ng malaking hurno, kaya't nagdilim ang araw at ang himpapawid. 3 Mula sa usok ay(B) may naglabasang mga balang na kumalat sa lupa. Binigyan sila ng kapangyarihang tulad ng sa mga alakdan. 4 Ipinagbilin(C) sa kanila na huwag sirain ang mga damo, punongkahoy o anumang halaman. Ang mga tao lamang na walang tatak ng Diyos sa noo ang maaari nilang saktan. 5 Hindi pinahintulutan ang mga balang na patayin ang mga taong ito, kundi pahirapan lamang sa loob ng limang buwan. Parang kagat ng alakdan ang kirot na dulot ng mga balang na ito. 6 Sa(D) loob ng panahong iyon, hahanapin ng mga tao ang kamatayan ngunit hindi ito matatagpuan. Nanaisin nila ang kamatayan ngunit lalayuan sila nito.
7 Ang(E) anyo ng mga balang ay tulad sa mga kabayong handa na sa pakikipagdigma. Sa kanilang ulo ay may parang koronang ginto, at parang mukha ng tao ang kanilang mukha. 8 Parang(F) buhok ng babae ang kanilang buhok at parang ngipin ng leon ang kanilang mga ngipin. 9 Natatakpan(G) ng parang mga baluting bakal ang kanilang dibdib at ang pagaspas ng kanilang pakpak ay parang dagundong ng maraming karwaheng hila ng mga kabayong lulusob sa labanan. 10 Sila ay may mga buntot na may tulis gaya ng sa alakdan. Nasa buntot nila ang kapangyarihang manakit ng mga tao sa loob ng limang buwan. 11 Ang pinuno nila'y ang anghel na bantay sa napakalalim na hukay. Ang kanyang pangalan sa wikang Hebreo ay Abadon,[a] at sa wikang Griego'y Apolion.[b]
12 Nakaraan na ang unang lagim; dalawa pang lagim ang darating.
13 Hinipan(H) ng ikaanim na anghel ang kanyang trumpeta at nakarinig ako ng tinig mula sa mga sulok ng gintong dambana na nasa harapan ng Diyos. 14 Iniutos nito sa ikaanim na anghel na may trumpeta, “Kalagan mo ang apat na anghel na nakagapos sa tabi ng malaking Ilog Eufrates.” 15 At pinalaya ang apat na anghel upang patayin nila ang ikatlong bahagi ng sangkatauhan; talagang inihanda sila para sa oras, araw, buwan at taóng ito. 16 Narinig ko na ang bilang ng hukbong nakakabayo ay dalawandaang milyon (200,000,000). 17 Sa(I) aking pangitain ay nakita ko ang mga kabayo, at ang mga dibdib ng mga sakay nito ay may mapulang baluti na gaya ng apoy, asul na gaya ng safiro, at dilaw na parang asupre. Ang mga ulo ng mga kabayo ay parang ulo ng leon, at ang kanilang bibig ay bumubuga ng apoy, usok at asupre. 18 Ang ikatlong bahagi ng sangkatauhan ay pinatay ng tatlong salot na ito: ang apoy, usok at asupre na nagmula sa bibig ng mga kabayo. 19 Sapagkat ang kapangyarihan ng mga kabayo'y nasa kanilang mga bibig at mga buntot. Ang kanilang mga buntot ay parang ahas na may ulo, na siyang ginagamit nila sa pananakit ng tao.
20 Ang(J) natira sa sangkatauhan na hindi namatay sa mga salot na ito ay hindi nagsisi. Hindi sila tumalikod ni tumigil man sa pagsamba sa mga demonyo at sa mga diyus-diyosang ginawa ng kanilang kamay, mga larawang ginto, pilak, tanso, bato at kahoy, na di nakakakita, nakakarinig o nakakalakad man. 21 Ni hindi rin nila pinagsisihan ang kanilang mga pagpatay, pangkukulam, pakikiapid at pagnanakaw.

Revelation 9
New International Version
9 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) 2 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) 3 And out of the smoke locusts(G) came down on the earth and were given power like that of scorpions(H) of the earth. 4 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) 5 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. 6 During those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.(N)
7 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) 8 Their hair was like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth.(Q) 9 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.
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.
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.
