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.

9 Mngelo wachisanu anayimba lipenga lake, ndipo ndinaona nyenyezi ikugwa pa dziko lapansi kuchokera ku thambo. Nyenyeziyo inapatsidwa kiyi ya ku chidzenje chakuya. 2 Nyenyeziyo itatsekula pa chidzenje chakuyacho panatuluka utsi ngati wochokera mʼngʼanjo yayikulu. Dzuwa ndi thambo zinada chifukwa cha utsi ochokera mʼdzenjemo. 3 Ndipo mʼkati mwa utsimo munatuluka dzombe kukalowa mʼdziko lapansi ndipo linapatsidwa mphamvu zoluma ngati za zinkhanira pa dziko lapansi. 4 Dzombelo linalamulidwa kuti lisawononge udzu wa pa dziko lapansi, kapena chomera chilichonse, kapena mtengo uliwonse, koma anthu okhawo amene analibe chizindikiro cha Mulungu pa mphumi zawo. 5 Silinapatsidwe mphamvu yowapha koma yowazunza kwa miyezi isanu. Ndipo ululu umene anthuwo anawumva unali ngati wa chinkhanira chikaluma munthu. 6 Masiku amenewo anthu adzafunafuna imfa koma sadzayipeza. Adzalakalaka kufa koma imfa izidzawathawa.
7 Dzombe linkaoneka ngati akavalo okonzekera nkhondo. Pamitu pawo panali ngati zipewa zaufumu zagolide ndipo nkhope zawo ngati za anthu. 8 Tsitsi lawo linali ngati la amayi, mano awo ngati a mikango. 9 Dzombelo linavala za pachifuwa zachitsulo. Phokoso la mapiko awo linali ngati phokoso la magaleta ankhondo ambiri okokedwa ndi akavalo othamangira ku nkhondo. 10 Linali ndi michira ngati zinkhanira ndi mbola. Mʼmichira yake munali mphamvu yozunza nayo anthu kwa miyezi isanu. 11 Mfumu yawo inali mngelo wolamulira Chidzenje chakuya chija. Mʼchihebri dzina lake ndi Abadoni ndipo mʼChigriki ndi Apoliyoni (tanthauzo lake ndiye kuti, Wowononga).
12 Tsoka loyamba lapita; matsoka ena awiri akubwerabe.
13 Mngelo wachisanu ndi chimodzi anayimba lipenga lake, ndipo ndinamva liwu lochokera ku ngodya zinayi za guwa lansembe lagolide lija lokhala pamaso pa Mulungu. 14 Liwulo linati kwa mngelo wachisanu ndi chimodzi amene anali ndi lipenga uja, “Masula angelo anayi amene anamangidwa pa mtsinje waukulu wa Yufurate.” 15 Ndipo anamasulidwadi angelo anayi aja amene anasungidwa kukonzekera ora ili, tsiku ili, mwezi uwu ndi chaka ichi kuti aphe limodzi la magawo atatu a anthu. 16 Ndinamva chiwerengero cha ankhondo a pa akavalo aja, kuti chinali 200 miliyoni.
17 Akavalo ndi okwerapo amene ndinaona mʼmasomphenya anga ankaoneka motere: Zovala za pachifukwa pawo zinali zofiira ngati moto, zobiriwira ngati utsi, ndi zachikasu ngati miyala ya sulufule. Mitu ya akavalowo inali ngati ya mikango ndipo mʼkamwa mwawo munkatuluka moto, utsi ndi sulufule. 18 Gawo limodzi la magawo atatu a anthu linaphedwa ndi miliri yamoto, utsi ndi sulufule zimene zinkachoka mʼkamwa mwawo. 19 Mphamvu za akavalowo inali mʼkamwa mwawo ndi mʼmichira mwawo; pakuti michira yawo inali ngati njoka; ndi mitu imene inkalumira.
20 Anthu ena onse amene sanaphedwe ndi miliri imeneyi sanalapebe kuti asiye ntchito zawo zoyipa. Iwo sanasiye kupembedza ziwanda ndi mafano agolide, asiliva, amkuwa, amwala ndi amtengo, mafano amene sangathe kuona, kumva kapena kuyankhula. 21 Sanalapenso kuleka zakupha, zamatsenga awo, zachigololo zawo kapena umbava wawo.
