1 And the fifth angel sounded {his} trumpet: and I saw a star out of the heaven fallen to the earth; and there was given to it the key of the pit of the abyss.

2 And it opened the pit of the abyss; and there went up smoke out of the pit as {the} smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke of the pit.

3 And out of the smoke came forth locusts on the earth, and power was given to them as the scorpions of the earth have power;

4 and it was said to them, that they should not injure the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but the men who have not the seal of God on their foreheads:

5 and it was given to them 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 it strikes a man.

6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall in no way find it; and shall desire to die, and death flees from them.

7 And the likenesses of the locusts {were} like to horses prepared for war; and upon their heads as crowns like gold, and their faces as faces of men;

8 and they had hair as women's hair, and their teeth were as of lions,

9 and they had breastplates as breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings {was} as the sound of chariots of many horses running to war;

10 and they have tails like scorpions, and stings; and their power {was} in their tails to hurt men five months.

11 They have a king over them, the angel of the abyss: his name in Hebrew, Abaddon, and in Greek he has {for} name Apollyon.

12 The first woe has passed. Behold, there come yet two woes after these things.

13 And the sixth angel sounded {his} trumpet: and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which {is} before God,

14 saying to the sixth angel that had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound at the great river Euphrates.

15 And the four angels were loosed, who are prepared for the hour and day and month and year, that they might slay the third part of men;

16 and the number of the hosts of horse {was} twice ten thousand times ten thousand. I heard their number.

17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those that sat upon them, having breastplates of fire and jacinth and brimstone; and the heads of the horses {were} as heads of lions, and out of their mouths goes out fire and smoke and brimstone.

18 By these three plagues were the third part of men killed, by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which goes out of their mouths.

19 For the power of the horses is in their mouth and in their tails: for their tails {are} like serpents, having heads, and with them they injure.

20 And the rest of men who were not killed with these plagues repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and the golden and silver and brazen and stone and wooden idols, which can neither see nor hear nor walk.

21 And they repented not of their murders, nor of their witchcrafts, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

1 A ka whakatangi te rima o nga anahera, a ka kite ahau i tetahi whetu no te rangi kua taka iho ki te whenua: a ka hoatu ki a ia te ki o te poka torere.

2 A uakina ana e ia te poka torere; a ka puta ake he paoa i te poka, ano he paoa no tetahi kapura nui; a pouri iho te ra me te rangi i te paoa o te poka.

3 A ka puta mai i te paoa he mawhitiwhiti ki runga ki te whenua; i hoatu hoki ki a ratou he kaha, he pera me te kaha o nga kopiona o te whenua.

4 I korerotia hoki ki a ratou kia kaua e kino i a ratou te tarutaru o te whenua, tetahi mea matomato ranei, tetahi rakau ranei; ko nga tangata anake kahore nei te hiri a te Atua i o ratou rae.

5 I tukua ano hoki ki a ratou kia kaua e whakamate i era, engari me whakamamae kia rima ra ano nga marama: a ko ta ratou whakamamae kia pera me te whakamamae a te kopiona, ina wero i te tangata.

6 A i aua ra tera nga tangata e rapu i te mate, a e kore rawa e kitea; e hiahia ano ratou kia mate, heoi ka oma te mate i a ratou.

7 Na ko te waihanga o nga mawhitiwhiti rite tonu ki nga hoiho kua oti te whakanoho mo te pakanga: a i runga i o ratou matenga he mea e rite ana ki nga karauna koura, a ko o ratou kanohi ano he kanohi tangata.

8 He makawe ano to ratou rite tonu ki te makawe wahine, ko o ratou niho me te mea no te raiona.

9 He pukupuku hoki o ratou, ano he pukupuku rino; a ko te haruru o o ratou pakau, ano ko te haruru o nga hariata, o nga hoiho maha e rere ana ki te tatauranga.

10 He hiku o ratou pera i o nga kopiona, he wero hoki: a kei o ratou hiku to ratou kaha ki te whakamamae tangata mo nga marama e rima.

11 He kingi ano to ratou, ko te anahera o te poka torere; ko tona ingoa i te reo Hiperu ko Aparona, a i te reo Kariki ko Aporiona tona ingoa.

12 Kua pahemo te tuatahi o nga aue; na e rua ake nga aue kei te haere mai i muri.

13 Na ka whakatangi te ono o nga anahera, a ka rongo ahau ki tetahi reo, e ahu mai ana i nga haona e wha o te aata koura i te aroaro o te Atua,

14 E mea ana ki te ono o nga anahera, kei a ia nei te tetere, Wetekina nga anahera tokowha e here ra i te awa nui, i Uparati.

15 Na ka wetekina aua anahera tokowha, kua noho rite noa ake nei mo te haora, me te ra, me te marama, me te tau, e whakamate ai ratou i te wahi tuatoru o nga tangata.

16 A ko te tokomaha o nga taua o nga hoia eke hoiho e rua tekau mano nga tekau mano; i rongo hoki ahau ki to ratou tokomaha.

17 Ko taku tenei i kite ai i ahau e titiro matakite ana, ko nga hoiho me nga kainoho i runga he pukupuku o ratou, ano he ahi, he hakiniti, he whanariki: na, ko nga upoko o nga hoiho, ano he upoko raiona; e puta mai ana hoki i o ratou mangai he kapu ra, he paoa, he whanariki.

18 Na enei mate e toru i patu te wahi tuatoru o nga tangata, na te kapura, na te paoa, na te whanariki, i puta mai i o ratou mangai.

19 Ko te kaha hoki o nga hoiho kei o ratou mangai, kei o ratou waero: ko o ratou waero koia ano kei te nakahi, he upoko o ratou; ko a ratou mea tukino enei.

20 Na, ko era atu tangata, kihai nei i whakamatea e enei mate, kahore ratou i ripeneta ki nga mahi a o ratou ringaringa, kihai hoki i mutu to ratou koropiko ki nga rewera, ki nga whakapakoko koura, hiriwa, parahi, kohatu, rakau ranei; ki nga mea ka hore nei e kite, kahore e rongo, kahore e haereere:

21 Kahore ano hoki ratou i ripeneta ki a ratou kohuru, ki a ratou mahi makutu, ki a ratou moepuku, ki a ratou tahae.
