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 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.
