Revelation 9
Holman Christian Standard Bible
The Fifth Trumpet
9 The fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to earth.(A) The key to the shaft of the abyss(B) was given to him. 2 He opened the shaft of the abyss, and smoke came up out of the shaft like smoke from a great[a] furnace so that the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the shaft. 3 Then locusts came out of the smoke on to the earth, and power[b] was given to them(C) like the power that scorpions have on the earth. 4 They were told not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green plant, or any tree, but only people who do not have God’s seal on their foreheads. 5 They were not permitted to kill them but were to torment them for five months; their torment is like the torment caused by a scorpion when it strikes a man. 6 In those days people will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, but death will flee from them.
7 The appearance of the locusts was like horses equipped for battle.(D) Something like gold crowns was on their heads; their faces were like men’s faces; 8 they had hair like women’s hair; their teeth were like lions’ teeth;(E) 9 they had chests like iron breastplates; the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots with many horses rushing into battle; 10 and they had tails with stingers like scorpions, so that with their tails they had the power[c] to harm people for five months. 11 They had as their king[d] the angel of the abyss; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon,[e] and in Greek he has the name Apollyon.[f] 12 The first woe has passed. There are still two more woes to come after this.
The Sixth Trumpet
13 The sixth angel blew his trumpet. From the four[g] horns of the gold altar(F) that is before God, I heard a voice 14 say to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels bound at the great river Euphrates.” 15 So the four angels who were prepared for the hour, day, month, and year were released to kill a third of the human race. 16 The number of mounted troops was 200 million;[h] I heard their number. 17 This is how I saw the horses in my vision: The horsemen had breastplates that were fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow. The heads of the horses were like lions’ heads, and from their mouths came fire, smoke, and sulfur. 18 A third of the human race was killed by these three plagues—by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur that came from their mouths. 19 For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails, for their tails, which resemble snakes, have heads, and they inflict injury with them.
20 The rest of the people, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands to stop worshiping demons(G) and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood, which are not able to see, hear, or walk.(H) 21 And they did not repent of their murders, their sorceries,[i] their sexual immorality, or their thefts.

Pahayag 9
Ang Salita ng Diyos
9 Hinipan ng panglimang anghel ang kaniyang trumpeta. At nakita ko ang isang bituin na nahulog sa lupa buhat sa langit. Ibinigay sa kaniya ang susi ng walang hanggang kalaliman. 2 At binuksan niya ang walang hanggang kalaliman. Pumailanlang ang usok na lumabas mula sa kalalim-lalimang hukay katulad ng usok na nagmumula sa isang napakalaking pugon. Ang araw at ang hangin ay dumilim dahil sa usok. 3 Buhat sa usok ay lumabas ang mga balang sa ibabaw ng lupa. Binigyan sila ng kapamahalaang katulad ng kapamahalaang taglay ng mga alakdan sa lupa. 4 At sinabi sa kanila na huwag nilang pipinsalain ang mga damo sa lupa o anumang bagay na luntian at ang mga punong-kahoy. Ang pipinsalain lamangnila ay ang mga taong walang tatak ng Diyos sa kanilang noo. 5 Hindi sila binigyan ng pahintulot na patayin ang mga tao. Pahihirapan lamang nila sila sa loob ng limang buwan. Ang pagpapahirap na ito ay katulad ng sakit na nararanasan ngtaong kinagat ng alakdan. 6 Sa mga araw na iyon, hahanapin ng mga tao ang kamatayan ngunit hindi nila matatagpuan. Magpapakamatay sila ngunit lalayuan sila ng kamatayan.
7 Ang anyo ng mga balang ay katulad ng mga kabayong inihanda para sa labanan. Sa kanilang mga ulo ay mayroong gantimpalang putong katulad ng ginto. Ang kanilang mga mukha ay katulad ng mga mukha ng tao. 8 May mga buhok silang katulad ng buhok ng babae. Ang kanilang mga ngipin ay katulad ng ngipin ng leon. 9 May mga baluti sila sa dibdib na katulad ng mga baluting bakal. Ang ugong ng kanilang mga pakpak ay katulad ng ugong ng mga karuwahe ng mga kabayong dumadaluhong sa labanan. 10 May mga buntot sila at tibo na katulad ng mga alakdan. May kapamahalaan silang saktan ang tao sa loob ng limang buwan. 11 Mayroon silang hari na namumuno sa kanila. Siya ay ang anghel sa walang hanggang kalaliman. Ang kaniyang pangalan sa wikang Hebreo ay Abadon.[a] Sa wikang Griyego ito ay Apolyon.
12 Natapos na ang unang kaabahan. Pagkatapos ng mga bagay na ito, dalawa pang kaabahan ang darating.
13 Hinipan ng pang-anim na anghel ang kaniyang trumpeta. Narinig ko ang isang tinig mula sa apat na sungay ng gintong dambana na nasa harapan ng Diyos. 14 Sinabi niya sa pang-anim na anghel na may trumpeta: Pakawalan mo ang apat na anghel na iginapos sa malaking ilog ng Eufrates. 15 At pinakawalan niya ang apat na anghel na inihanda para sa oras, araw, buwan at taon upang pumatay sa ikatlong bahagi ng mga tao. 16 Ang bilang ng hukbong nangangabayo ay dalawang daang milyon. Narinig ko ang bilang nila.
17 Sa ganito ko nakita ang mga kabayo at ang mga sakay nila sa isang pangitain. Sila ay may suot na mga baluti sa dibdib na mapulang katulad ng apoy, matingkad na bughaw at dilaw na katulad ng asupre. Ang ulo ng mga kabayo ay katulad ng mga ulo ng mga leon. Apoy at usok at nagniningas na asupre ang lumalabas sa kanilang mga bibig. 18 Sa pamamagitan ng tatlong ito, ang apoy, ang usok at ang nagniningas na asupre, ay pinatay nila ang ikatlong bahagi ng mga tao. Ang mga bagay na ito ay lumalabas mula sa kanilang mga bibig. 19 Ito ay sapagkat ang kanilang mga kapamahalaan ay nasa mga bibig at mga buntot katulad ng mga ahas na may mga ulong makakapanakit.
20 May mga nalalabing mga tao na hindi napatay ng mga salot na ito. Ngunit hindi nila pinagsisihan ang gawa ng kanilang mga kamay. At hindi sila nagsisi upang hindi sila sasamba sa mga demonyo at mga diyos-diyosang ginto, pilak, tanso, bato at kahoy. Hindi sila makakakita, ni makakarinig, ni makakalakad man. 21 Hindi sila nagsisisi sa kanilang mga pagpatay, sa kanilang mga panggagaway, sa kanilang mga pakikiapid at sa kanilang pagnanakaw.

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.

Fifth Trumpet: The Locusts from the Bottomless Pit
9 Then the fifth angel sounded: (A)And I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to (B)the [a]bottomless pit. 2 And he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. So the (C)sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit. 3 Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, (D)as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 They were commanded (E)not to harm (F)the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have (G)the seal of God on their foreheads. 5 And [b]they were not given authority to kill them, (H)but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man. 6 In those days (I)men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them.
7 (J)The shape of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. (K)On their heads were crowns of something like gold, (L)and their faces were like the faces of men. 8 They had hair like women’s hair, and (M)their teeth were like lions’ teeth. 9 And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was (N)like the sound of chariots with many horses running into battle. 10 They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men five months. 11 And they had as king over them (O)the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is [c]Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name [d]Apollyon.
12 (P)One woe is past. Behold, still two more woes are coming after these things.
Sixth Trumpet: The Angels from the Euphrates
13 Then the sixth angel sounded: And I heard a voice from the four horns of the (Q)golden altar which is before God, 14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound (R)at the great river Euphrates.” 15 So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a (S)third of mankind. 16 Now (T)the number of the army (U)of the horsemen was two hundred million; (V)I heard the number of them. 17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision: those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; (W)and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone. 18 By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed—by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their mouths. 19 For [e]their power is in their mouth and in their tails; (X)for their tails are like serpents, having heads; and with them they do harm.
20 But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, (Y)did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship (Z)demons, (AA)and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk. 21 And they did not repent of their murders (AB)or their [f]sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.
