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.

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.

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.

²A 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.

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.

³A 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.

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.

⁴I 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.

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.

⁵I 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.

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

⁶A 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.

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.

⁷Na 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.

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

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

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.

⁹He 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.

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

¹⁰He 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.

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.

¹¹He 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.

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

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

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

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,

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

¹⁴E 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.

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.

¹⁵Na 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.

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

¹⁶A 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.

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.

¹⁷Ko 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.

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.

¹⁸Na 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.

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.

¹⁹Ko 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.

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:

²⁰Na, 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:

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

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