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

¹The fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from the sky which had fallen to the earth. The key to the pit of the abyss was given to him.

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

²He opened the pit of the abyss, and smoke went up out of the pit, like the smoke from a TR adds “great” burning furnace. The sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke from the pit.

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

³Then 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።

⁴They were told that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only those people who don’t have God’s seal on their foreheads.

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

⁵They were given power not to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion, when it strikes a person.

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

⁶In those days people will seek death, and will in no way find it. They will desire to die, and death will flee from them.

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

⁷The shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared for war. On their heads were something like golden crowns, and their faces were like people’s faces.

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

⁸They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like those of lions.

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

⁹They had breastplates, like breastplates of iron. The sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots, or of many horses rushing to war.

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

¹⁰They have tails like those of scorpions, and stings. In their tails they have power to harm men for five months.

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

¹¹They have over them as king the angel of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is “Abaddon,” “Abaddon” is a Hebrew word that means ruin, destruction, or the place of destruction but in Greek, he has the name “Apollyon.” “Apollyon” means “Destroyer.”

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

¹²The first woe is past. Behold, there are still two woes coming after this.

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

¹³The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the 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 who had one trumpet, “Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates!”

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

¹⁵The four angels were freed who had been prepared for that hour and day and month and year, so that they might kill one third of mankind.

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

¹⁶The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million literally, “ten thousands of ten thousands” . I heard the number of them.

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

¹⁷Thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those who sat on them, having breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of lions. Out of their mouths proceed fire, smoke, and sulfur.

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

¹⁸By these three plagues were one third of mankind killed: by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur, which proceeded 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 mouths, and in their tails. For their tails are like serpents, and have heads, and with them they harm.

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፤

²⁰The rest of mankind, who were not killed with these plagues, didn’t repent of the works of their hands, that they wouldn’t worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood; which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk.

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

²¹They didn’t repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, The word for “sorceries” (pharmakeia) also implies the use of potions, poisons, and drugs nor of their sexual immorality, nor of their thefts.
