¹And 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.

¹Lalu malaikat kelima meniup trompetnya, dan saya melihat sebuah bintang jatuh dari langit ke atas bumi. Bintang itu diberi kunci jurang maut.

²And 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.

²Maka bintang itu membuka jurang maut itu, lalu asap keluar dari dalamnya seperti asap dari tungku yang besar. Matahari dan angkasa menjadi gelap oleh asap dari jurang itu.

³And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

³Lalu dari dalam asap itu keluarlah belalang-belalang yang turun ke bumi. Belalang-belalang itu diberi kuasa yang sama seperti yang diberi kepada kalajengking.

⁴And 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.

⁴Mereka dilarang merusak rumput, atau pohon-pohon, atau tanaman-tanaman lainnya. Mereka hanya boleh menyerang orang-orang yang pada dahinya tidak ada tanda segel dari Allah.

⁵And 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.

⁵Belalang-belalang itu tidak diizinkan membunuh orang-orang itu, melainkan hanya menyiksa mereka selama lima bulan. Nyeri yang diakibatkan oleh siksaan belalang-belalang itu sama seperti nyeri yang diakibatkan oleh sengat kalajengking.

⁶And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.

⁶Selama lima bulan itu, orang-orang itu berusaha supaya mati, tetapi mereka tidak bisa mati; mereka ingin mati, tetapi maut jauh dari mereka.

⁷And 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.

⁷Rupa belalang itu seperti kuda yang siap untuk berperang. Di kepala mereka ada sesuatu yang kelihatan seperti mahkota emas. Muka mereka seperti muka manusia.

⁸And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.

⁸Rambut mereka seperti rambut wanita, dan gigi mereka seperti gigi singa.

⁹And 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.

⁹Dada mereka ditutupi dengan sesuatu yang mirip baju besi. Suara sayap mereka seperti suara sejumlah besar kereta-kereta kuda yang sedang menyerbu dalam peperangan.

¹⁰And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.

¹⁰Mereka mempunyai ekor dan sengat seperti kalajengking. Dan di dalam ekor mereka itulah terdapat kekuatan mereka untuk menyiksa manusia selama lima bulan.

¹¹And 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.

¹¹Mereka mempunyai raja yang memerintah mereka, dan raja itu ialah malaikat yang bertanggung jawab atas jurang maut. Namanya di dalam bahasa Ibrani ialah Abadon; dan di dalam bahasa Yunani Apolion (yang artinya "Perusak").

¹²One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.

¹²Celaka yang pertama telah lalu. Sesudah itu ada dua celaka lagi yang harus datang.

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

¹³Kemudian malaikat yang keenam meniup trompetnya. Maka saya mendengar suara datang dari keempat sudut mezbah emas yang terdapat di depan Allah.

¹⁴Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.

¹⁴Suara itu berkata kepada malaikat keenam itu, "Lepaskanlah keempat malaikat yang terikat di Sungai Efrat itu!"

¹⁵And 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.

¹⁵Keempat malaikat itu pun dilepaskan. Mereka sudah disiapkan khusus bagi jam, hari, bulan dan tahun itu untuk membunuh sepertiga dari seluruh umat manusia.

¹⁶And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.

¹⁶Saya diberitahukan bahwa jumlah pasukan-pasukan berkuda itu adalah sebanyak dua ratus juta.

¹⁷And 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.

¹⁷Dan dalam penglihatan, saya melihat kuda-kuda itu dan penunggang-penunggan Penunggang-penunggangnya memakai baju besi yang berwarna merah menyala, biru seperti batu nilam, dan kuning belerang. Kepala kuda-kuda itu seperti kepala singa, dan dari mulutnya keluar api, asap, dan belerang.

¹⁸By 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.

¹⁸Sepertiga dari umat manusia terbunuh oleh tiga bencana itu; yaitu api, asap, dan belerang yang keluar dari mulut kuda-kuda itu.

¹⁹For 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.

¹⁹Kekuatan kuda-kuda itu terdapat pada mulutnya dan juga pada ekornya. Ekor-ekornya seperti ular berkepala. Dengan ekornya itu, kuda-kuda itu menyiksa manusia.

²⁰And 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:

²⁰Tetapi sisa dari umat manusia yang tidak terbunuh oleh bencana-bencana itu pun, tidak pula meninggalkan perbuatan tangan mereka sendiri. Mereka tidak berhenti menyembah roh-roh jahat dan berhala-berhala emas, perak, tembaga, batu dan kayu yang tidak dapat melihat atau mendengar, ataupun berjalan.

²¹Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

²¹Mereka tidak pula meninggalkan perbuatan-perbuatan mereka yang jahat, yaitu pembunuhan, ilmu-ilmu gaib, percabulan dan pencurian.
