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

¹And the fifth angel sounded [his] trumpet: and I saw a star out of the heaven fallen to the earth; and there was given to it the key of the pit of the abyss.

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

²And it opened the pit of the abyss; and there went up smoke out of the pit as [the] smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke of the pit.

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

³And out of the smoke came forth locusts on the earth, and power was given to them as the scorpions of the earth have power;

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

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

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

⁵and it was given to them 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 it strikes a man.

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

⁶And in those days shall men seek death, and shall in no way find it; and shall desire to die, and death flees from them.

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

⁷And the likenesses of the locusts [were] like to horses prepared for war; and upon their heads as crowns like gold, and their faces as faces of men;

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

⁸and they had hair as women's hair, and their teeth were as of lions,

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

⁹and they had breastplates as breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings [was] as the sound of chariots of many horses running to war;

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

¹⁰and they have tails like scorpions, and stings; and their power [was] in their tails to hurt men five months.

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

¹¹They have a king over them, the angel of the abyss: his name in Hebrew, Abaddon, and in Greek he has [for] name Apollyon.

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

¹²The first woe has passed. Behold, there come yet two woes after these things.

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

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

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

¹⁴saying to the sixth angel that had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound at the great river Euphrates.

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

¹⁵And the four angels were loosed, who are prepared for the hour and day and month and year, that they might slay the third part of men;

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

¹⁶and the number of the hosts of horse [was] twice ten thousand times ten thousand. I heard their number.

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

¹⁷And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those that sat upon them, having breastplates of fire and jacinth and brimstone; and the heads of the horses [were] as heads of lions, and out of their mouths goes out fire and smoke and brimstone.

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

¹⁸By these three plagues were the third part of men killed, by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which goes out of their mouths.

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

¹⁹For the power of the horses is in their mouth and in their tails: for their tails [are] like serpents, having heads, and with them they injure.

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፤

²⁰And the rest of men who were not killed with these plagues repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and the golden and silver and brazen and stone and wooden idols, which can neither see nor hear nor walk.

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

²¹And they repented not of their murders, nor of their witchcrafts, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
