¹[] Και ο πεμπτος αγγελος εσαλπισε· και ειδον οτι επεσεν εις την γην αστηρ εκ του ουρανου, και εδοθη εις αυτον το κλειδιον του φρεατος της αβυσσου.

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.

²Και ηνοιξε το φρεαρ της αβυσσου, και ανεβη καπνος εκ του φρεατος ως καπνος καμινου μεγαλης, και εσκοτισθη ο ηλιος και ο αηρ εκ του καπνου του φρεατος.

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.

³Και εκ του καπνου εξηλθον ακριδες εις την γην, και εδοθη εις αυτας εξουσια ως εχουσιν εξουσιαν οι σκορπιοι της γης·

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.

⁴και ερρεθη προς αυτας να μη βλαψωσι τον χορτον της γης μηδε κανεν χλωρον μηδε κανεν δενδρον, ειμη τους ανθρωπους μονους, οιτινες δεν εχουσι την σφραγιδα του Θεου επι των μετωπων αυτων.

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.

⁵Και εδοθη εις αυτας να μη θανατωσωσιν αυτους, αλλα να βασανισθωσι πεντε μηνας· και ο βασανισμος αυτων ητο ως βασανισμος σκορπιου, οταν κτυπηση ανθρωπον.

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.

⁶Και εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις θελουσι ζητησει οι ανθρωποι τον θανατον και δεν θελουσιν ευρει αυτον, και θελουσιν επιθυμησει να αποθανωσι, και ο θανατος θελει φυγει απ' αυτων.

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.

⁷Και αι μορφαι των ακριδων ησαν ομοιαι με ιππους ητοιμασμενους εις πολεμον, και επι τας κεφαλας αυτων ησαν ως στεφανοι ομοιοι με χρυσον, και τα προσωπα αυτων ως προσωπα ανθρωπων.

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.

⁸Και ειχον τριχας ως τριχας γυναικων, και οι οδοντες αυτων ησαν ως λεοντων,

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

⁹και ειχον θωρακας ως θωρακας σιδηρους, και η φωνη των πτερυγων αυτων ητο ως φωνη αμαξων ιππων πολλων τρεχοντων εις πολεμον.

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.

¹⁰Και ειχον ουρας ομοιας με σκορπιους και ησαν κεντρα εις τας ουρας αυτων, και η εξουσια αυτων ητο να βλαψωσι τους ανθρωπους πεντε μηνας.

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

¹¹Και ειχον εφ' εαυτων βασιλεα τον αγγελον της αβυσσου, οστις Εβραιστι ονομαζεται Αβαδδων, και εις την Ελληνικην εχει ονομα Απολλυων.

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.”

¹²Η ουαι η μια απηλθεν· ιδου, ερχονται ετι δυο ουαι μετα ταυτα.

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

¹³[] Και ο εκτος αγγελος εσαλπισε· και ηκουσα μιαν φωνην εκ των τεσσαρων κερατων του θυσιαστηριου του χρυσου του ενωπιον του Θεου,

¹³The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God,

¹⁴λεγουσαν προς τον εκτον αγγελον, οστις ειχε την σαλπιγγα· Λυσον τους τεσσαρας αγγελους τους δεδεμενους εις τον μεγαν ποταμον Ευφρατην.

¹⁴saying to the sixth angel who had one trumpet, “Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates!”

¹⁵Και ελυθησαν οι τεσσαρες αγγελοι, οι ητοιμασμενοι εις την ωραν και ημεραν και μηνα και ενιαυτον, δια να θανατωσωσι το τριτον των ανθρωπων.

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.

¹⁶Και ο αριθμος των στρατευματων του ιππικου ητο δυο μυριαδες μυριαδων· και ηκουσα τον αριθμον αυτων.

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

¹⁷Και ουτως ειδον τους ιππους εν τη ορασει και τους καθημενους επ' αυτων, οτι ειχον θωρακας πυρινους και υακινθινους και θειωδεις· και αι κεφαλαι των ιππων ησαν ως κεφαλαι λεοντων, και εκ των στοματων αυτων εξηρχετο πυρ και καπνος και θειον.

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.

¹⁸υπο των τριων τουτων εθανατωθησαν το τριτον των ανθρωπων· εκ του πυρος και εκ του καπνου και εκ του θειου του εξερχομενου εκ των στοματων αυτων.

¹⁸By these three plagues were one third of mankind killed: by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur, which proceeded out of their mouths.

¹⁹Διοτι αι εξουσιαι αυτων ειναι εν τω στοματι αυτων, επειδη αι ουραι αυτων ειναι ομοιαι με οφεις, εχουσαι κεφαλας, και με αυτας βλαπτουσι.

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.

²⁰Και οι λοιποι των ανθρωπων, οιτινες δεν εθανατωθησαν με τας πληγας ταυτας, ουτε μετενοησαν απο των εργων των χειρων αυτων, ωστε να μη προσκυνησωσι τα δαιμονια και τα ειδωλα τα χρυσα και τα αργυρα και τα χαλκινα και τα λιθινα και τα ξυλινα, τα οποια ουτε να βλεπωσι δυνανται ουτε να ακουωσιν ουτε να περιπατωσι,

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.

²¹και δεν μετενοησαν εκ των φονων αυτων ουτε εκ των φαρμακειων αυτων ουτε εκ της πορνειας αυτων ουτε εκ των κλοπων αυτων.

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.
