Revelation 9
Modern English Version
9 The fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. The star was given the key to the bottomless pit. 2 He opened the bottomless pit, and smoke ascended from the pit, like the smoke of a great furnace. The sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the pit. 3 And out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. Power was given them as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5 They were given authority, not to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings a man. 6 In those days men will seek death but will not find it. They will desire to die, but death will elude them.
7 The shape of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were something like crowns of gold, and their faces were like faces of men. 8 They had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were like the teeth of lions. 9 They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots with many horses running to battle. 10 They had tails like scorpions and stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men for five months. 11 They had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek his name is Apollyon.[a]
12 The first woe is past. Now, two more woes are yet to come.
13 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 who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great Euphrates River.” 15 And the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind. 16 The army of horsemen numbered two hundred million. I heard their number.
17 Thus I saw the horses in the vision: Those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow. The heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire and smoke and brimstone. 18 A third of mankind was killed by these three plagues—by the fire and by the smoke and by the brimstone, which came out of their mouths. 19 The power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails are like serpents, with heads by which they inflict injury.
20 The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands. They did not cease to worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which cannot see nor hear nor walk. 21 Nor did they repent of their murders or their magical arts or their sexual immorality or their thefts.

Den femte basunen
9 Den femte ängeln blåste i sin basun. Och jag såg en stjärna, som hade fallit från himlen ner på jorden. Åt den gavs nyckeln till avgrundens brunn. 2 Stjärnan öppnade avgrundens brunn, och rök steg upp ur den som rök från en stor ugn, och solen och luften förmörkades av röken från brunnen. 3 Ur röken kom gräshoppor ut över jorden, och åt dem gavs en sådan makt som skorpionerna på jorden har. 4 De blev tillsagda att inte skada gräset på marken eller någon annan grönska eller något träd, utan bara de människor som inte bär Guds sigill på pannan. 5 De fick inte rätt att döda dem men väl att plåga dem i fem månader, och den plågan var som plågan av en skorpion när den stinger en människa. 6 I de dagarna kommer människorna att söka döden men inte finna den. De skall önska sig döden, men döden skall fly ifrån dem.
7 Gräshopporna såg ut som hästar, rustade till strid. På huvudet hade de något som liknade kransar av guld, och deras ansikten var som människors ansikten. 8 De hade hår som kvinnor, tänder som lejon 9 och bröstharnesk som såg ut att vara av järn. Och dånet från deras vingar var som dånet från stridsvagnar med många hästar, som stormar fram till strid. 10 De hade stjärtar och gaddar som skorpioner, och i stjärten låg deras makt att skada människorna i fem månader. 11 Som kung över sig har de avgrundens ängel, som på hebreiska kallas Abaddon och på grekiska Apollyon.[a]
12 Det första veropet är över. Se, efter det kommer två andra.
Den sjätte basunen
13 Den sjätte ängeln blåste i sin basun. Och jag hörde en röst från de fyra hornen på guldaltaret inför Gud. 14 Den sade till den sjätte ängeln, han som hade basunen: "Släpp lös de fyra änglar, som är bundna vid den stora floden Eufrat." 15 Då släpptes de fyra änglarna lösa, de som för den timmen, den dagen, den månaden och det året stod rustade för att döda en tredjedel av människorna. 16 Antalet män i dessa ryttarhärar var tjugo tusen gånger tio tusen. Jag hörde deras antal. 17 Och så här såg jag hästarna och deras ryttare i min syn: ryttarna hade eldröda, mörkblå och svavelgula bröstharnesk, och hästarna hade huvuden som lejon, och ur deras mun kom eld och rök och svavel. 18 Av dessa tre plågor, elden, röken och svavlet som kom ur deras mun, dödades tredjedelen av människorna. 19 Ty hästarnas makt ligger i deras mun och i deras svans. Deras svansar liknar ormar och har huvuden, och med dem vållar de skada.
20 De andra människorna, de som inte dödades av dessa plågor, omvände sig ändå inte från sina händers verk så att de upphörde med att tillbe onda andar, avgudabilder av guld, silver och brons, sten och trä, som varken kan se eller höra eller gå. 21 Och de ångrade inte sina mord och sin svartkonst, sin otukt och sina stölder.

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.
