1. Then the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen to earth from the sky, and he was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit.
|
1. And G2532 the G3588 fifth G3991 angel G32 sounded G4537 , and G2532 I saw G1492 a star G792 fall G4098 from G1537 heaven G3772 unto G1519 the G3588 earth G1093 : and G2532 to him G846 was given G1325 the G3588 key G2807 of the G3588 bottomless G12 pit G5421 .
|
|
2. When he opened it, smoke poured out as though from a huge furnace, and the sunlight and air turned dark from the smoke.
|
2. And G2532 he opened G455 the G3588 bottomless G12 pit G5421 ; and G2532 there arose G305 a smoke G2586 out of G1537 the G3588 pit G5421 , as G5613 the smoke G2586 of a great G3173 furnace G2575 ; and G2532 the G3588 sun G2246 and G2532 the G3588 air G109 were darkened G4654 by reason of G1537 the G3588 smoke G2586 of the G3588 pit G5421 .
|
|
3. Then locusts came from the smoke and descended on the earth, and they were given power to sting like scorpions.
|
3. And G2532 there came G1831 out of G1537 the G3588 smoke G2586 locusts G200 upon G1519 the G3588 earth G1093 : and G2532 unto them G846 was given G1325 power G1849 , as G5613 the G3588 scorpions G4651 of the G3588 earth G1093 have G2192 power G1849 .
|
|
4. They were told not to harm the grass or plants or trees, but only the people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
|
4. And G2532 it was commanded G4483 them G846 that G2443 they should not G3361 hurt G91 the G3588 grass G5528 of the G3588 earth G1093 , neither G3761 any G3956 green thing G5515 , neither G3761 any G3956 tree G1186 ; but G1508 only G3441 those men G444 which G3748 have G2192 not G3756 the G3588 seal G4973 of God G2316 in G1909 their G848 foreheads G3359 .
|
|
5. They were told not to kill them but to torture them for five months with pain like the pain of a scorpion sting.
|
5. And G2532 to them G846 it was given G1325 that G2443 they should not G3361 kill G615 them G846 , but G235 that G2443 they should be tormented G928 five G4002 months G3376 : and G2532 their G848 torment G929 was the torment G929 of a scorpion G4651 , when G3752 he striketh G3817 a man G444 .
|
|
6. In those days people will seek death but will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them!
|
6. And G2532 in G1722 those G1565 days G2250 shall men G444 seek G2212 death G2288 , and G2532 shall not G3756 find G2147 it G846 ; and G2532 shall desire G1937 to die G599 , and G2532 death G2288 shall flee G5343 from G575 them G846 .
|
|
7. The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. They had what looked like gold crowns on their heads, and their faces looked like human faces.
|
7. And G2532 the G3588 shapes G3667 of the G3588 locusts G200 were like unto G3664 horses G2462 prepared G2090 unto G1519 battle G4171 ; and G2532 on G1909 their G848 heads G2776 were as it were G5613 crowns G4735 like G3664 gold G5557 , and G2532 their G848 faces G4383 were as G5613 the faces G4383 of men G444 .
|
|
8. They had hair like women's hair and teeth like the teeth of a lion.
|
8. And G2532 they had G2192 hair G2359 as G5613 the hair G2359 of women G1135 , and G2532 their G848 teeth G3599 were G2258 as G5613 the teeth of lions G3023 .
|
|
9. They wore armor made of iron, and their wings roared like an army of chariots rushing into battle.
|
9. And G2532 they had G2192 breastplates G2382 , as it were G5613 breastplates G2382 of iron G4603 ; and G2532 the G3588 sound G5456 of their G848 wings G4420 was as G5613 the sound G5456 of chariots G716 of many G4183 horses G2462 running G5143 to G1519 battle G4171 .
|
|
10. They had tails that stung like scorpions, and for five months they had the power to torment people.
|
10. And G2532 they had G2192 tails G3769 like unto G3664 scorpions G4651 , and G2532 there were G2258 stings G2759 in G1722 their G848 tails G3769 : and G2532 their G848 power G1849 was to hurt G91 men G444 five G4002 months G3376 .
|
|
11. Their king is the angel from the bottomless pit; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon-- the Destroyer.
|
11. And G2532 they had G2192 a king G935 over G1909 them G846 , which is the G3588 angel G32 of the G3588 bottomless pit G12 , whose G846 name G3686 in the Hebrew tongue G1447 is Abaddon G3 , but G2532 in G1722 the G3588 Greek tongue G1673 hath G2192 his name G3686 Apollyon G623 .
|
|
12. The first terror is past, but look, two more terrors are coming!
|
12. One G3391 woe G3759 is past G565 ; and, behold G2400 , there come G2064 two G1417 woes G3759 more G2089 hereafter G3326 G5023 .
|
|
13. Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice speaking from the four horns of the gold altar that stands in the presence of God.
|
13. And G2532 the G3588 sixth G1623 angel G32 sounded G4537 , and G2532 I heard G191 a G3391 voice G5456 from G1537 the G3588 four G5064 horns G2768 of the G3588 golden G5552 altar G2379 which G3588 is before G1799 God G2316 ,
|
|
14. And the voice said to the sixth angel who held the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound at the great Euphrates River."
|
14. Saying G3004 to the G3588 sixth G1623 angel G32 which G3739 had G2192 the G3588 trumpet G4536 , Loose G3089 the G3588 four G5064 angels G32 which are bound G1210 in G1909 the G3588 great G3173 river G4215 Euphrates G2166 .
|
|
15. Then the four angels who had been prepared for this hour and day and month and year were turned loose to kill one-third of all the people on earth.
|
15. And G2532 the G3588 four G5064 angels G32 were loosed G3089 , which were prepared G2090 for G1519 an hour G5610 , and G2532 a day G2250 , and G2532 a month G3376 , and G2532 a year G1763 , for to G2443 slay G615 the G3588 third part G5154 of men G444 .
|
|
16. I heard the size of their army, which was 200 million mounted troops.
|
16. And G2532 the G3588 number G706 of the army G4753 of the G3588 horsemen G2461 were two hundred thousand thousand G1417 G3461 G3461 : and G2532 I heard G191 the G3588 number G706 of them G846 .
|
|
17. And in my vision, I saw the horses and the riders sitting on them. The riders wore armor that was fiery red and dark blue and yellow. The horses had heads like lions, and fire and smoke and burning sulfur billowed from their mouths.
|
17. And G2532 thus G3779 I saw G1492 the G3588 horses G2462 in G1722 the G3588 vision G3706 , and G2532 them that sat G2521 on G1909 them G846 , having G2192 breastplates G2382 of fire G4447 , and G2532 of jacinth G5191 , and G2532 brimstone G2306 : and G2532 the G3588 heads G2776 of the G3588 horses G2462 were as G5613 the heads G2776 of lions G3023 ; and G2532 out of G1537 their G848 mouths G4750 issued G1607 fire G4442 and G2532 smoke G2586 and G2532 brimstone G2303 .
|
|
18. One-third of all the people on earth were killed by these three plagues-- by the fire and smoke and burning sulfur that came from the mouths of the horses.
|
18. By G5259 these G5130 three G5140 was the G3588 third part G5154 of men G444 killed G615 , by G1537 the G3588 fire G4442 , and G2532 by G1537 the G3588 smoke G2586 , and G2532 by G1537 the G3588 brimstone G2303 , which issued G1607 out of G1537 their G848 mouths G4750 .
|
|
19. Their power was in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails had heads like snakes, with the power to injure people.
|
19. For G1063 their G848 power G1849 is G1526 in G1722 their G848 mouth G4750 , and G2532 in G1722 their G848 tails G3769 : for G1063 their G848 tails G3769 were like unto G3664 serpents G3789 , and had G2192 heads G2776 , and G2532 with G1722 them G846 they do hurt G91 .
|
|
20. But the people who did not die in these plagues still refused to repent of their evil deeds and turn to God. They continued to worship demons and idols made of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood-- idols that can neither see nor hear nor walk!
|
20. And G2532 the G3588 rest G3062 of the G3588 men G444 which G3739 were not G3756 killed G615 by G1722 these G5025 plagues G4127 yet repented not G3777 G3340 of G1537 the G3588 works G2041 of their G848 hands G5495 , that G2443 they should not G3361 worship G4352 devils G1140 , and G2532 idols G1497 of gold G5552 , and G2532 silver G693 , and G2532 brass G5470 , and G2532 stone G3035 , and G2532 of wood G3585 : which G3739 neither G3777 can G1410 see G991 , nor G3777 hear G191 , nor G3777 walk G4043 :
|
|
21. And they did not repent of their murders or their witchcraft or their sexual immorality or their thefts.
|
21. Neither G2532 G3756 repented G3340 they of G1537 their G848 murders G5408 , nor G3777 of G1537 their G848 sorceries G5331 , nor G3777 of G1537 their G848 fornication G4202 , nor G3777 of G1537 their G848 thefts G2809 .
