Fifth Trumpet: The Locusts from the Bottomless Pit

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. 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. 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. 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. 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. In those days (I)men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them.

(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. They had hair like women’s hair, and (M)their teeth were like lions’ teeth. 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.

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] 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. Then from the smoke came (F)locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth. 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. 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. 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.

(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, their hair like women's hair, and (O)their teeth like lions' teeth; 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.

At hinipan ng ikalimang anghel ang kanyang trumpeta at nakita ko ang isang bituin na nahulog sa lupa mula sa langit at sa kanya'y ibinigay ang susi ng hukay ng di-matarok na kalaliman.

Binuksan(A) niya ang hukay ng di-matarok na kalaliman at umakyat ang usok mula sa hukay, na gaya ng usok ng isang malaking hurno at nagdilim ang araw at ang himpapawid dahil sa usok ng hukay.

At(B) naglabasan mula sa usok ang mga balang sa lupa at binigyan sila ng kapangyarihan, na gaya ng kapangyarihan ng mga alakdan sa lupa.

At(C) sinabi sa kanila na huwag pinsalain ang damo sa lupa, ni ang anumang luntian, ni ang anumang punungkahoy, kundi ang mga tao lamang na walang tatak ng Diyos sa kanilang mga noo.

Pinahintulutan silang huwag patayin ang mga ito, kundi pahirapan ng limang buwan at ang kanilang pahirap ay gaya ng pahirap ng alakdan kung kumakagat sa isang tao.

At(D) sa mga araw na iyon ay hahanapin ng mga tao ang kamatayan at sa anumang paraa'y hindi nila matatagpuan; at magnanasang mamatay at ang kamatayan ay tatakas sa kanila.

Ang(E) anyo ng mga balang ay katulad ng mga kabayong inihanda para sa digmaan, at sa kanilang mga ulo ay mayroong gaya ng mga koronang ginto, at ang kanilang mga mukha ay gaya ng mga mukha ng mga tao.

Sila'y(F) may buhok na gaya ng buhok ng mga babae, at ang kanilang mga ngipin ay gaya ng sa mga leon.

At(G) sila'y may mga baluti, na gaya ng baluting bakal; at ang tunog ng kanilang mga pakpak ay gaya ng tunog ng mga karwahe at ng maraming kabayo na rumaragasa sa labanan.

10 Sila'y may mga buntot na gaya ng sa mga alakdan at may mga pantusok; at sa kanilang mga buntot ay naroroon ang kanilang kapangyarihan upang pinsalain ang mga tao ng limang buwan.

11 Sila'y may isang hari, ang anghel ng di-matarok na kalaliman; ang kanyang pangalan sa wikang Hebreo ay Abadon,[a] at sa Griyego ay tinatawag siyang Apolyon.[b]

12 Ang unang kapighatian ay nakaraan na. Mayroon pang dalawang kapighatiang darating.

13 At(H) hinipan ng ikaanim na anghel ang kanyang trumpeta, at narinig ko ang isang tinig mula sa apat na sungay ng dambanang ginto na nasa harapan ng Diyos,

14 na nagsasabi sa ikaanim na anghel na may trumpeta, “Kalagan mo ang apat na anghel na nakagapos sa malaking ilog ng Eufrates.”

15 Kaya't kinalagan ang apat na anghel, na inihanda para sa oras, araw, buwan at taon upang patayin ang ikatlong bahagi ng mga tao.

16 Ang bilang ng mga hukbong nangangabayo ay makalawang sampung libong tigsasampung libo; aking narinig ang bilang nila.

17 At ganito ko nakita ang mga kabayo sa pangitain: ang mga nakasakay ay may mga baluting gaya ng apoy, ng jacinto at ng asupre; at ang mga ulo ng mga kabayo ay gaya ng mga ulo ng mga leon, at sa kanilang mga bibig ay lumalabas ang apoy, usok at asupre.

18 Sa pamamagitan ng tatlong salot na ito ay pinatay ang ikatlong bahagi ng mga tao sa pamamagitan ng apoy at ng usok at ng asupre na lumalabas sa kanilang mga bibig.

19 Sapagkat ang kapangyarihan ng mga kabayo ay nasa kanilang bibig at nasa kanilang mga buntot; ang kanilang mga buntot ay katulad ng mga ahas, na may mga ulo; at sa pamamagitan ng mga ito'y nakakapaminsala sila.

20 At(I) ang natira sa mga tao na hindi napatay sa mga salot na ito ay hindi nagsisi sa mga gawa ng kanilang mga kamay ni inihinto ang pagsamba sa mga demonyo at sa mga diyus-diyosang ginto, pilak, tanso, bato, at kahoy na hindi nakakakita, ni nakakarinig, ni nakakalakad man.

21 At sila'y hindi nagsisi sa kanilang mga pagpatay, o sa kanilang pangkukulam, o sa kanilang pakikiapid, o sa kanilang pagnanakaw.

  2. Apocalipsis 9:11 o Mangwawasak .

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) 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) And out of the smoke locusts(G) came down on the earth and were given power like that of scorpions(H) of the earth. 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) 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. During those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.(N)

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) Their hair was like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth.(Q) 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.
