1 O quinto anjo tocou a trombeta. Vi uma estrela caída do céu na terra, e foi-lhe dada a chave do poço do abismo.

2 Ele abriu o poço do abismo; do poço subiu um fumo como o fumo duma grande fornalha, e o sol e o ar escureceram-se com o fumo do poço.

3 Do fumo saíram gafanhotos para a terra; e foi-lhes dado poder como têm poder os escorpiões da terra.

4 Foi-lhes ordenado que não fizessem dano à erva da terra, nem a qualquer coisa verde, nem a árvore alguma, mas somente àqueles homens que não têm o selo de Deus nas suas testas.

5 Foi-lhes permitido, não que os matassem, mas somente que os atormentassem cinco meses; e o seu tormento era como o tormento do escorpião, quando fere ao homem.

6 Naqueles dias os homens procurarão a morte, e não a acharão; desejarão morrer, mas a morte foge deles.

7 As figuras dos gafanhotos eram semelhantes a cavalos preparados para a guerra; sobre as suas cabeças tinham umas como coroas semelhantes ao ouro, e os seus rostos eram como rostos de homens,

8 tinham os cabelos como os cabelos das mulheres, e os seus dentes eram como os dentes dos leões;

9 e tinham couraças como couraças de ferro, e o estrondo das suas asas era como o estrondo de carros de muitos cavalos que correm ao combate.

10 Têm caudas semelhantes às dos escorpiões, e aguilhões; e nas suas caudas acha-se o seu poder de fazer dano aos homens cinco meses.

11 Eles têm sobre si como rei o anjo do abismo, chamado em hebraico Abadom, e em grego Apoliom.

12 O primeiro ai já passou; eis que vêm ainda dois ais depois destas coisas.

13 O sexto anjo tocou a trombeta. Ouvi uma voz que saía dos quatro chifres do altar de ouro, que está diante de Deus,

14 a qual dizia ao sexto anjo que tinha a trombeta: Solta os quatro anjos que estão atados junto ao grande rio Eufrates.

15 Foram soltos os quatros anjos que haviam sido preparados para a hora e dia e mês e ano, a fim de matarem a terça parte dos homens.

16 O número das tropas de cavalaria era de duas miríades de miríades; eu ouvi o número deles.

17 Vi assim na visão os cavalos, e os que estavam montados sobre eles, os quais tinham couraças de fogo, de jacinto e de enxofre; as cabeças dos cavalos eram como as cabeças de leões, e das suas bocas saíam fogo, fumo e enxofre.

18 Por estas três pragas: pelo fogo, pelo fumo e pelo enxofre, que saíam das suas bocas, foi morta a terça parte dos homens.

19 Pois o poder dos cavalos está nas suas bocas, e nas suas caudas; porque as suas caudas são semelhantes a serpentes, e têm cabeças; e com elas causam dano.

20 Os outros homens que não foram mortos por estas pragas, não se arrependeram das obras das suas mãos, para que não adorassem aos demônios, e aos ídolos de ouro, de prata, de cobre, de pedra e de pau, que nem podem ver, nem ouvir, nem andar;

21 e não se arrependeram dos seus homicídios, nem das suas feitiçarias, nem da sua fornicação, nem dos seus furtos.

1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from heaven fallen unto the earth: and there was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss. 2 And he opened the pit of the abyss; and there went up 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 out of the smoke came forth locusts upon the earth; and power was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 And it was said unto them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only such men as have not the seal of God on their foreheads. 5 And it was given 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 striketh a man. 6 And in those days men shall seek death, and shall in no wise find it; and they shall desire to die, and death fleeth from them. 7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared for war; and upon their heads as it were crowns like unto gold, and their faces were as men’s faces. 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 rushing to war. 10 And they have tails like unto scorpions, and stings; and in their tails is their power to hurt men five months. 11 They have over them as king the angel of the abyss: his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek tongue he hath the name Apollyon.

12 The first Woe is past: behold, there come yet two Woes hereafter.

13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God, 14 one saying to the sixth angel that had the trumpet, Loose the four angels that are bound at the great river Euphrates. 15 And the four angels were loosed, that had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, that they should kill the third part of men. 16 And the number of the armies of the horsemen was twice ten thousand times ten thousand: I heard the number of them. 17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates as of fire and of hyacinth and of brimstone: and the heads of the horses are as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths proceedeth fire and smoke and brimstone. 18 By these three plagues was the third part of men killed, by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone, which proceeded out of their mouths. 19 For the power of the horses is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails are like unto serpents, and have heads; and with them they hurt. 20 And the rest of mankind, who were not killed with these plagues, repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood; which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk: 21 and they repented not of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
