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 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.

Offenbarung 9
Luther Bibel 1545
9 Und der fünfte Engel posaunte: und ich sah einen Stern, gefallen vom Himmel auf die Erde; und ihm ward der Schlüssel zum Brunnen des Abgrunds gegeben.
2 Und er tat den Brunnen des Abgrunds auf; und es ging auf ein Rauch aus dem Brunnen wie ein Rauch eines großen Ofens, und es ward verfinstert die Sonne und die Luft von dem Rauch des Brunnens.
3 Und aus dem Rauch kamen Heuschrecken auf die Erde; und ihnen ward Macht gegeben, wie die Skorpione auf Erden Macht haben.
4 Und es ward ihnen gesagt, daß sie nicht beschädigten das Gras auf Erden noch ein Grünes noch einen Baum, sondern allein die Menschen, die nicht haben das Siegel Gottes an ihren Stirnen.
5 Und es ward ihnen gegeben, daß sie sie nicht töteten, sondern sie quälten fünf Monate lang; und ihre Qual war wie eine Qual vom Skorpion, wenn er einen Menschen schlägt.
6 Und in den Tagen werden die Menschen den Tod suchen, und nicht finden; werden begehren zu sterben, und der Tod wird vor ihnen fliehen.
7 Und die Heuschrecken sind gleich den Rossen, die zum Kriege bereitet sind; und auf ihrem Haupt wie Kronen, dem Golde gleich, und ihr Antlitz gleich der Menschen Antlitz;
8 und hatten Haare wie Weiberhaare, und ihre Zähne waren wie die der Löwen;
9 und hatten Panzer wie eiserne Panzer, und das Rasseln ihrer Flügel wie das Rasseln an den Wagen vieler Rosse, die in den Krieg laufen;
10 und hatten Schwänze gleich den Skorpionen, und es waren Stacheln an ihren Schwänzen; und ihre Macht war, zu beschädigen die Menschen fünf Monate lang.
11 Und hatten über sich einen König, den Engel des Abgrunds, des Name heißt auf hebräisch Abaddon, und auf griechisch hat er den Namen Apollyon.
12 Ein Wehe ist dahin; siehe, es kommen noch zwei Wehe nach dem.
13 Und der sechste Engel posaunte: und ich hörte eine Stimme aus den vier Ecken des goldenen Altars vor Gott,
14 die sprach zu dem sechsten Engel, der die Posaune hatte: Löse die vier Engel, die gebunden sind an dem großen Wasserstrom Euphrat.
15 Und es wurden die vier Engel los, die bereit waren auf die Stunde und auf den Tag und auf den Monat und auf das Jahr, daß sie töteten den dritten Teil der Menschen.
16 Und die Zahl des reisigen Volkes war vieltausendmal tausend; und ich hörte ihre Zahl.
17 Und also sah ich die Rosse im Gesicht und die daraufsaßen, daß sie hatten feurige und bläuliche und schwefelige Panzer; und die Häupter der Rosse waren wie die Häupter der Löwen, und aus ihrem Munde ging Feuer und Rauch und Schwefel.
18 Von diesen drei Plagen ward getötet der dritte Teil der Menschen, von dem Feuer und Rauch und Schwefel, der aus ihrem Munde ging.
19 Denn ihre Macht war in ihrem Munde; und ihre Schwänze waren den Schlangen gleich und hatten Häupter, und mit denselben taten sie Schaden.
20 Und die übrigen Leute, die nicht getötet wurden von diesen Plagen, taten nicht Buße für die Werke ihrer Hände, daß sie nicht anbeteten die Teufel und goldenen, silbernen, ehernen, steinernen und hölzernen Götzen, welche weder sehen noch hören noch wandeln können;
21 und taten auch nicht Buße für ihre Morde, Zauberei, Hurerei und Dieberei.
