¹And the fifth messenger did sound, and I saw a star out of the heaven having fallen to the earth, and there was given to it the key of the pit of the abyss,

¹አምስተኛውም መልአክ ነፋ፤ ከሰማይም ወደ ምድር ወድቆ የነበረ ኮከብ አየሁ፥ የጥልቁም ጕድጓድ መክፈቻ ተሰጠው።

²and he did open the pit of the abyss, and there came up a smoke out of the pit as smoke of a great furnace, and darkened was the sun and the air, from the smoke of the pit.

²የጥልቁንም ጕድጓድ ከፈተው፤ ጢስም ከታላቅ እቶን እንደሚወጣ ጢስ ሆኖ ከጕድጓዱ ወጣ ፀሐይና አየርም በጕድጓዱ ጢስ ጨለሙ።

³And out of the smoke came forth locusts to the earth, and there was given to them authority, as scorpions of the earth have authority,

³ከጢሱም አንበጣዎች ወደ ምድር ወጡ፥ የምድርም ጊንጦች ሥልጣን እንዳላቸው ሥልጣን ተሰጣቸው።

⁴and it was said to them that they may not injure the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but — the men only who have not the seal of God upon their foreheads,

⁴የእግዚአብሔርም ማኅተም በግምባራቸው ከሌለባቸው ሰዎች በቀር በምድር ያለውን ሣር ቢሆንም ወይም ማናቸውንም የለመለመ ነገር ወይም ማናቸውንም ዛፍ እንዳይጐዱ ተባለላቸው።

⁵and it was given to them that they may not kill them, but that they may be tormented five months, and their torment [is] as the torment of a scorpion, when it may strike a man;

⁵አምስትም ወር ሊሣቅዩአቸው ተሰጣቸው እንጂ ሊገድሉአቸው አይደለም፤ እነርሱም የሚሣቅዩት ሥቃይ ጊንጥ ሰውን ነድፎ እንደሚሣቅይ ነው።

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

⁶በዚያም ወራት ሰዎች ሞትን ይፈልጋሉ አያገኙትምም፥ ሊሞቱም ይመኛሉ ሞትም ከእነርሱ ይሸሻል።

⁷And the likenesses of the locusts [are] like to horses made ready to battle, and upon their heads as crowns like gold, and their faces as faces of men,

⁷የአንበጣዎቹም መልክ ለጦርነት እንደ ተዘጋጁ ፈረሶች ነው፥ በራሳቸውም ላይ ወርቅ እንደሚመስሉ አክሊሎች ነበሩአቸው፥ ፊታቸውም እንደ ሰው ፊት ነበረ፤

⁸and they had hair as hair of women, and their teeth were as [those] of lions,

⁸የሴቶችን ጠጕር የሚመስል ጠጕር ነበራቸው፥ ጥርሳቸውም እንደ አንበሳ ጥርስ ነበረ፥

⁹and they had breastplates as breastplates of iron, and the noise of their wings [is] as the noise of chariots of many horses running to battle;

⁹የብረት ጥሩር የሚመስልም ጥሩር ነበራቸው፥ የክንፋቸውም ድምፅ ወደ ጦርነት እንደሚጋልቡ እንደ ብዙ ፈረሶች ሰረገላዎች ድምፅ ነበረ።

¹⁰and they have tails like to scorpions, and stings were in their tails; and their authority [is] to injure men five months;

¹⁰እንደ ጊንጥም ጅራት ያለ ጅራት አላቸው በጅራታቸውም መውጊያ አለ፥ ሰዎችንም አምስት ወር እንዲጐዱ ሥልጣን አላቸው።

¹¹and they have over them a king — the messenger of the abyss — a name [is] to him in Hebrew, Abaddon, and in the Greek he hath a name, Apollyon.

¹¹በእነርሱም ላይ ንጉሥ አላቸው እርሱም የጥልቅ መልአክ ነው፥ ስሙም በዕብራይስጥ አብዶን በግሪክም አጶልዮን ይባላል።

¹²The first wo did go forth, lo, there come yet two woes after these things.

¹²ፊተኛው ወዮ አልፎአል፤ እነሆ፥ ከዚህ በኋላ ገና ሁለት ወዮ ይመጣል።

¹³And the sixth messenger did sound, and I heard a voice out of the four horns of the altar of gold that is before God,

¹³ስድስተኛውም መልአክ ነፋ፤ በእግዚአብሔርም ፊት ካለ በወርቅ ከተሠራ መሠዊያ ቀንዶች አንድ ድምፅ ሰማሁ፥

¹⁴saying to the sixth messenger who had the trumpet, `Loose the four messengers who are bound at the great river Euphrates;`

¹⁴መለከትም ያለውን ስድስተኛውን መልአክ። በታላቁ ወንዝ በኤፍራጥስ የታሰሩትን አራቱን መላእክት ፍታቸው አለው።

¹⁵and loosed were the four messengers, who have been made ready for the hour, and day, and month, and year, that they may kill the third of men;

¹⁵የሰዎችንም ሲሶ እንዲገድሉ ለሰዓቱና ለቀኑ ለወሩም ለዓመቱም ተዘጋጅተው የነበሩ አራቱ መላእክት ተፈቱ።

¹⁶and the number of the forces of the horsemen [is] two myriads of myriads, and I heard the number of them.

¹⁶የፈረሰኞችም ጭፍራ ቁጥር እልፍ ጊዜ እልፍ፥ እልፍ ጊዜ እልፍ ነበረ፤ ቁጥራቸውን ሰማሁ።

¹⁷And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those sitting upon them, having breastplates of fire, and jacinth, and brimstone; and the heads of the horses [are] as heads of lions, and out of their mouths proceedeth fire, and smoke, and brimstone;

¹⁷ፈረሶቹንና በእነርሱም ላይ የተቀመጡትን እንዲሁ በራእይ አየሁ፤ እሳትና ያክንት ዲንም የሚመስል ጥሩር ነበራቸው፤ የፈረሶቹም ራስ እንደ አንበሳ ራስ ነበረ፥ ከአፋቸውም እሳትና ጢስ ዲንም ወጣ።

¹⁸by these three were the third of men killed, from the fire, and from the smoke, and from the brimstone, that is proceeding out of their mouth,

¹⁸ከአፋቸውም በወጡት በእሳቱና በጢሱ በዲኑም በእነዚህ ሦስት መቅሰፍቶች የሰዎቹ ሲሶ ተገደለ።

¹⁹for their authorities are in their mouth, and in their tails, for their tails [are] like serpents, having heads, and with them they do injure;

¹⁹የፈረሶቹ ሥልጣን በአፋቸውና በጅራታቸው ነውና፤ ጅራታቸው እባብን ይመስላልና፥ ራስም አላቸው በእርሱም ይጐዳሉ።

²⁰and the rest of men, who were not killed in these plagues, neither did reform from the works of their hands, that they may not bow before the demons, and idols, those of gold, and those of silver, and those of brass, and those of stone, and those of wood, that are neither able to see, nor to hear, nor to walk,

²⁰በእነዚህም መቅሠፍቶች ያልተገደሉት የቀሩቱ ሰዎች ለአጋንንትና ያዩ ወይም ይሰሙ ወይም ይሄዱ ዘንድ ለማይችሉ ከወርቅና ከብር ከናስም ከድንጋይም ከእንጨትም ለተሠሩ ለጣዖቶች እንዳይሰግዱ ስለ እጃቸው ሥራ ንስሐ አልገቡም፤

²¹yea they did not reform from their murders, nor from their sorceries, nor from their whoredoms, nor from their thefts.

²¹ስለ መግደላቸውም ቢሆን ወይም ስለ አስማታቸው ወይም ስለ ዝሙታቸው ወይም ስለ ስርቆታቸው ንስሐ አልገቡም።
