1 Και ο πεμπτος αγγελος εσαλπισε? και ειδον οτι επεσεν εις την γην αστηρ εκ του ουρανου, και εδοθη εις αυτον το κλειδιον του φρεατος της αβυσσου.1 And the fifth Angel sounded the trumpet. And I saw upon the earth, a star that had fallen from heaven, and the key to the well of the abyss was given to him.
2 Και ηνοιξε το φρεαρ της αβυσσου, και ανεβη καπνος εκ του φρεατος ως καπνος καμινου μεγαλης, και εσκοτισθη ο ηλιος και ο αηρ εκ του καπνου του φρεατος.2 And he opened the well of the abyss. And the smoke of the well ascended, like the smoke of a great furnace. And the sun and the air were obscured by the smoke of the well.
3 Και εκ του καπνου εξηλθον ακριδες εις την γην, και εδοθη εις αυτας εξουσια ως εχουσιν εξουσιαν οι σκορπιοι της γης?3 And locusts went forth from the smoke of the well into the earth. And power was given to them, like the power that the scorpions of the earth have.
4 και ερρεθη προς αυτας να μη βλαψωσι τον χορτον της γης μηδε κανεν χλωρον μηδε κανεν δενδρον, ειμη τους ανθρωπους μονους, οιτινες δεν εχουσι την σφραγιδα του Θεου επι των μετωπων αυτων.4 And it was commanded of them that they must not harm the plants of the earth, nor anything green, nor any tree, but only those men who do not have the Seal of God upon their foreheads.
5 Και εδοθη εις αυτας να μη θανατωσωσιν αυτους, αλλα να βασανισθωσι πεντε μηνας? και ο βασανισμος αυτων ητο ως βασανισμος σκορπιου, οταν κτυπηση ανθρωπον.5 And it was given to them that they would not kill them, but that they would torture them for five months. And their torture was like the torture of a scorpion, when he strikes a man.
6 Και εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις θελουσι ζητησει οι ανθρωποι τον θανατον και δεν θελουσιν ευρει αυτον, και θελουσιν επιθυμησει να αποθανωσι, και ο θανατος θελει φυγει απ' αυτων.6 And in those days, men will seek death and they will not find it. And they will desire to die, and death will flee from them.
7 Και αι μορφαι των ακριδων ησαν ομοιαι με ιππους ητοιμασμενους εις πολεμον, και επι τας κεφαλας αυτων ησαν ως στεφανοι ομοιοι με χρυσον, και τα προσωπα αυτων ως προσωπα ανθρωπων.7 And the likenesses of the locusts resembled horses prepared for battle. And upon their heads were something like crowns similar to gold. And their faces were like the faces of men.
8 Και ειχον τριχας ως τριχας γυναικων, και οι οδοντες αυτων ησαν ως λεοντων,8 And they had hair like the hair of women. And their teeth were like the teeth of lions.
9 και ειχον θωρακας ως θωρακας σιδηρους, και η φωνη των πτερυγων αυτων ητο ως φωνη αμαξων ιππων πολλων τρεχοντων εις πολεμον.9 And they had breastplates like iron breastplates. And the noise of their wings was like the noise of many running horses, rushing to battle.
10 Και ειχον ουρας ομοιας με σκορπιους και ησαν κεντρα εις τας ουρας αυτων, και η εξουσια αυτων ητο να βλαψωσι τους ανθρωπους πεντε μηνας.10 And they had tails similar to scorpions. And there were stingers in their tails, and these had the power to harm men for five months.
11 Και ειχον εφ' εαυτων βασιλεα τον αγγελον της αβυσσου, οστις Εβραιστι ονομαζεται Αβαδδων, και εις την Ελληνικην εχει ονομα Απολλυων.11 And they had over them a king, the Angel of the abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Doom; in Greek, Destroyer; in Latin, Exterminator.
12 Η ουαι η μια απηλθεν? ιδου, ερχονται ετι δυο ουαι μετα ταυτα.12 One woe has gone out, but behold, there are still two woes approaching afterward.
13 Και ο εκτος αγγελος εσαλπισε? και ηκουσα μιαν φωνην εκ των τεσσαρων κερατων του θυσιαστηριου του χρυσου του ενωπιον του Θεου,13 And the sixth Angel sounded the trumpet. And I heard a lone voice from the four horns of the golden altar, which is before the eyes of God,
14 λεγουσαν προς τον εκτον αγγελον, οστις ειχε την σαλπιγγα? Λυσον τους τεσσαρας αγγελους τους δεδεμενους εις τον μεγαν ποταμον Ευφρατην.14 saying to the sixth Angel who had the trumpet: “Release the four Angels who were bound at the great river Euphrates.”
15 Και ελυθησαν οι τεσσαρες αγγελοι, οι ητοιμασμενοι εις την ωραν και ημεραν και μηνα και ενιαυτον, δια να θανατωσωσι το τριτον των ανθρωπων.15 And the four Angels were released, who had been prepared for that hour, and day, and month, and year, in order to kill one third part of men.
16 Και ο αριθμος των στρατευματων του ιππικου ητο δυο μυριαδες μυριαδων? και ηκουσα τον αριθμον αυτων.16 And the number of the army of horsemen was two hundred million. For I heard their number.
17 Και ουτως ειδον τους ιππους εν τη ορασει και τους καθημενους επ' αυτων, οτι ειχον θωρακας πυρινους και υακινθινους και θειωδεις? και αι κεφαλαι των ιππων ησαν ως κεφαλαι λεοντων, και εκ των στοματων αυτων εξηρχετο πυρ και καπνος και θειον.17 And I also saw the horses in the vision. And those who were sitting upon them had breastplates of fire and hyacinth and sulphur. And the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions. And from their mouths proceeded fire and smoke and sulphur.
18 υπο των τριων τουτων εθανατωθησαν το τριτον των ανθρωπων? εκ του πυρος και εκ του καπνου και εκ του θειου του εξερχομενου εκ των στοματων αυτων.18 And one third part of men were slain by these three afflictions: by the fire and by the smoke and by the sulphur, which proceeded from their mouths.
19 Διοτι αι εξουσιαι αυτων ειναι εν τω στοματι αυτων, επειδη αι ουραι αυτων ειναι ομοιαι με οφεις, εχουσαι κεφαλας, και με αυτας βλαπτουσι.19 For the power of these horses is in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails resemble serpents, having heads; and it is with these that they cause harm.
20 Και οι λοιποι των ανθρωπων, οιτινες δεν εθανατωθησαν με τας πληγας ταυτας, ουτε μετενοησαν απο των εργων των χειρων αυτων, ωστε να μη προσκυνησωσι τα δαιμονια και τα ειδωλα τα χρυσα και τα αργυρα και τα χαλκινα και τα λιθινα και τα ξυλινα, τα οποια ουτε να βλεπωσι δυνανται ουτε να ακουωσιν ουτε να περιπατωσι,20 And the rest of men, who were not slain by these afflictions, did not repent from the works of their hands, so that they would not worship demons, or idols of gold and silver and brass and stone and wood, which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk.
21 και δεν μετενοησαν εκ των φονων αυτων ουτε εκ των φαρμακειων αυτων ουτε εκ της πορνειας αυτων ουτε εκ των κλοπων αυτων.21 And they did not repent from their murders, nor from their drugs, nor from their fornication, nor from their thefts.
