¹ܘܕܚܡܫܐ ܙܥܩ ܘܚܙܝܬ ܟܘܟܒܐ ܕܢܦܠ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܩܠܝܕܐ ܕܒܐܪܘܗܝ ܕܬܗܘܡܐ ܀

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.

²ܘܤܠܩ ܬܢܢܐ ܡܢ ܒܐܪܐ ܐܝܟ ܬܢܢܐ ܕܐܬܘܢܐ ܪܒܐ ܕܡܫܬܓܪ ܘܚܫܟ ܫܡܫܐ ܘܐܐܪ ܡܢ ܬܢܢܐ ܕܒܐܪܐ ܀

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.

³ܘܡܢ ܬܢܢܐ ܢܦܩܘ ܩܡܨܐ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܥܩܪܒܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܀

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.

⁴ܘܐܬܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܗܪܘܢ ܠܥܤܒܗ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܘܠܟܠ ܝܘܪܩ ܐܦܠܐ ܠܐܝܠܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܚܬܡܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܝܬ ܥܝܢܝܗܘܢ ܀

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.

⁵ܘܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܩܛܠܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܢܫܬܢܩܘܢ ܝܪܚܐ ܚܡܫܐ ܘܬܫܢܝܩܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܬܫܢܝܩܐ ܕܥܩܪܒܐ ܡܐ ܕܢܦܠܐ ܥܠ ܐܢܫ ܀

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.

⁶ܘܒܝܘܡܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܢܒܥܘܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܠܡܘܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܫܟܚܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܢܬܪܓܪܓܘܢ ܠܡܡܬ ܘܢܥܪܘܩ ܡܘܬܐ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܀

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.

⁷ܘܕܡܘܬܐ ܕܩܡܨܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܕܪܟܫܐ ܕܡܛܝܒܝܢ ܠܩܪܒܐ ܘܥܠ ܪܫܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܟܠܝܠܐ ܕܕܡܘܬܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܘܐܦܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܐܦܐ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܀

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.

⁸ܘܤܥܪܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܤܥܪܐ ܕܢܫܐ ܘܫܢܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܪܝܘܬܐ ܀

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

⁹ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܪܝܢܐ ܐܝܟ ܫܪܝܢܐ ܕܦܪܙܠܐ ܘܩܠܐ ܕܓܦܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܩܠܐ ܕܡܪܟܒܬܐ ܕܪܟܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܪܗܛܝܢ ܠܩܪܒܐ ܀

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.

¹⁰ܘܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܘܢܒܝܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܕܥܩܪܒܐ ܘܥܘܩܤܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܕܘܢܒܝܬܗܘܢ ܘܫܘܠܛܢܗܘܢ ܠܡܗܪܘ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܝܪܚܐ ܚܡܫܐ ܀

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

¹¹ܘܐܝܬ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܡܠܟܐ ܡܠܐܟܗ ܕܬܗܘܡܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܥܒܪܐܝܬ ܥܒܕܘ ܘܐܪܡܐܝܬ ܫܡܐ ܠܗ ܐܝܬ ܫܪܐ ܀

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.”

¹²ܘܝ ܚܕ ܐܙܠ ܗܐ ܬܘܒ ܐܬܝܢ ܬܪܝܢ ܘܝ ܀

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

¹³ܒܬܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܫܬܐ ܙܥܩ ܘܫܡܥܬ ܩܠܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܐܪܒܥ ܩܪܢܬܗ ܕܡܕܒܚܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܕܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܀

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

¹⁴ܕܐܡܪ ܠܡܠܐܟܐ ܫܬܝܬܝܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܫܝܦܘܪܐ ܫܪܝ ܠܐܪܒܥܐ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܐܤܝܪܝܢ ܥܠ ܢܗܪܐ ܪܒܐ ܦܪܬ ܀

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

¹⁵ܘܐܫܬܪܝܘ ܐܪܒܥܐ ܡܠܐܟܝܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܛܝܒܝܢ ܠܫܥܬܐ ܘܠܝܘܡܐ ܘܠܝܪܚܐ ܘܠܫܢܬܐ ܕܢܩܛܠܘܢ ܬܘܠܬܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܀

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.

¹⁶ܘܡܢܝܢܐ ܕܚܝܠܘܬܐ ܕܦܪܫܐ ܬܪܬܝܢ ܪܒܘ ܪܒܘܢ ܫܡܥܬ ܡܢܝܢܗܘܢ ܀

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

¹⁷ܘܗܟܢܐ ܚܙܝܬ ܪܟܫܐ ܒܚܙܘܐ ܘܠܕܝܬܒܝܢ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܬ ܫܪܝܢܐ ܕܢܘܪܐ ܘܩܪܟܕܢܐ ܕܟܒܪܝܬܐ ܘܩܪܩܦܬܐ ܕܪܟܫܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܩܪܩܦܬܐ ܕܐܪܝܘܬܐ ܘܡܢ ܦܘܡܗܘܢ ܢܦܩܐ ܢܘܪܐ ܘܟܒܪܝܬܐ ܘܬܢܢܐ ܀

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.

¹⁸ܘܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܬܠܬ ܡܚܘܢ ܐܬܩܛܠܘ ܬܘܠܬܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܘܡܢ ܢܘܪܐ ܘܡܢ ܟܒܪܝܬܐ ܘܡܢ ܬܢܢܐ ܕܢܦܩ ܡܢ ܦܘܡܗܘܢ ܀

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

¹⁹ܡܛܠ ܕܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܕܪܟܫܐ ܒܦܘܡܗܘܢ ܘܐܦ ܒܕܘܢܒܝܬܗܘܢ ܀

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.

²⁰ܘܫܪܟܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܕܠܐ ܐܬܩܛܠܘ ܒܡܚܘܬܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܬܒܘ ܡܢ ܥܒܕ ܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܤܓܕܘܢ ܠܕܝܘܐ ܘܠܦܬܟܪܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܘܕܤܐܡܐ ܘܕܢܚܫܐ ܘܕܩܝܤܐ ܘܕܟܐܦܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܠܡܚܙܐ ܘܠܐ ܠܡܫܡܥ ܡܨܝܢ ܐܘ ܠܡܗܠܟܘ ܀

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.

²¹ܘܠܐ ܬܒܘ ܡܢ ܩܛܠܝܗܘܢ ܘܡܢ ܚܪܫܝܗܘܢ ܘܡܢ ܙܢܝܘܬܗܘܢ ܀

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.
