1 و َنَفَخَ المَلاكُ الخامِسُ فِي بُوقِهِ فَرَأيتُ نَجماً يَسَقُطُ مِنَ السَّماءِ إلَى الأرْضِ، وَقَدْ أُعطِيَ مِفتاحَ النَّفَقِ الَّذِي يُؤَدِّي إلَى الهاوِيَةِ.

The 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.

2 ث ُمَّ فَتَحَ النَّجمُ فُوَّهَةَ الهاوِيَةِ، فَخَرَجَ مِنها دُخانٌ كَدُخانِ فُرنٍ عَظِيمٍ. فَأظلَمَتِ الشَّمسُ وَالسَّماءُ بِسَبَبِ الدُّخانِ المُنبَعِثِ مِنَ الفُوَّهَةِ.

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

3 ث ُمَّ خَرَجَ مِنَ الدُّخانِ جَرادٌ إلَى الأرْضِ. وَأُعطِيَ الجَرادُ قَدرَةً كَقُدرَةِ العَقارِبِ عَلَى الأرْضِ.

Then out of the smoke came locusts on the earth, and power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

4 و َقِيلَ لَهُ أنْ لا يُؤذِيَ عُشبَ الأرْضِ، وَلا أيَّ نَباتٍ أخضَرَ أوْ شَجَرَةٍ، بَلْ فَقَطِ النّاسَ الَّذِينَ لَيسَ لَهُمْ خَتْمُ اللهِ عَلَى جِباهِهِمْ.

They 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.

5 و َلَمْ يُسمَحْ لَهُ بِأنْ يَقتُلَهُمْ، بَلْ أنْ يُعَذِّبَهُمْ لِخَمسَةِ شُهُورٍ عَذاباً كَالَّذي تُسَبِّبُهُ لَدغَةُ العَقرَبِ.

They 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.

6 و َخِلالَ ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، سَيَطلُبُ النّاسُ المَوتَ فَلا يَجِدُونَهُ. سَيَتُوقُونَ إلَى المَوتِ، فَيَخْتَبِئَ المَوتُ مِنهُمْ.

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

7 و َكانَ الجَرادُ يُشبِهُ خُيُولاً مُعَدَّةً لِلحَربِ، عَلَى رُؤُوسِها ما يُشبِهُ تِيجاناً مِنَ الذَّهَبِ، وَوُجُوهُها كَوُجُوهِ النّاسِ.

The 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.

8 ك انَ لَها شَعرٌ كَشَعرِ النِّساءِ، وَأسنانٌ كَأسنانِ الأُسُودِ.

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

9 ص ُدُورُها كَدُرُوعٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، وَصَوتُ أجنِحَتِها كَصَوتِ عَرَباتٍ تَجُرُّها خُيُولٌ كَثِيرَةٌ تَندَفِعُ نَحوَ المَعرَكَةِ.

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

10 ل َها أذنابٌ كَأذنابِ العَقارِبِ، وَفِي أذنابِها إبَرٌ لادِغَةٌ، وَلَها القُدرَةُ أنْ تُعَذِّبَ النّاسَ لِخَمسَةِ شُهُورٍ.

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

11 و َكانَ مَلاكُ هَذا الجَرادِ هُوَ مَلاكُ الهاوِيَةِ، الَّذِي اسْمُهُ بِالعِبرِيَّةِ «أبَدُّونُ،» وَفِي اليُونانِيَّةِ «أبُولِّيُّونُ.»

They have over them as king the angel of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is “Abaddon”, but in Greek, he has the name “Apollyon”.

12 ل َقَدْ مَضَى الوَيلُ الأوَّلُ، لَكِنْ سَيَأتِي وَيلانِ آخَرانِ بَعدَ هَذا.

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

13 و َنَفَخَ المَلاكُ السّادِسُ فِي بُوقِهِ، فَسَمِعتُ صَوتاً مِنَ القُرُونِ الأربَعَةِ لِلمَذبَحِ الذَّهَبِيِّ الَّذِي أمامَ اللهِ.

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

14 ف َقالَ الصَّوتُ لِلمَلاكِ السّادِسِ الَّذِي كانَ مَعَهُ البُوقُ: «حَرِّرِ المَلائِكَةَ الأربَعَةَ المُقَيَّدينَ بِجوارِ نَهرِ الفُراتِ العَظِيمِ.»

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

15 و َهَكَذا تَحَرَّرَ المَلائِكَةُ الأربَعَةُ الَّذِينَ كانُوا قَدْ أُعِدُّوا لِتِلكَ السّاعَةِ وَاليَومِ وَالشَّهرِ وَالسَّنَةِ، حَتَّى يَقتُلُوا ثُلْثَ الجِنسِ البَشَرِيِّ.

The 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.

16 و َكانَ عَدَدُ الفُرسانِ مِئَتَي مِليُونَ فارِسٍ، فَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ عَدَدَهُمْ.

The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million. I heard the number of them.

17 و َفِي رُؤيايَ بَدَتْ لِي الخُيُولُ وَفُرسانُها كَما يَلِي: كانَتْ لَهُمْ دُرُوعٌ مُلتَهِبَةٌ فِي حُمرَتِها، وَكالياقُوتِ فِي زُرقَتِها، وَكالكِبرِيتِ فِي صُفرَتِها. رُؤُوسُ الخُيُولِ كَرُؤُوسِ الأُسُودِ، وَمِنْ أفواهِها يَخرُجُ اللَّهَبُ وَالدُّخانُ وَالكِبِرِيتُ.

Thus 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.

18 ب ِهَذِهِ الثَّلاثةِ: النّارِ وَالدُّخانِ وَالكِبِرِيتِ الَّذي يَخرُجُ مِنْ أفواهِها، قُتِلَ ثُلْثُ الجِنسِ البَشَرِيِّ.

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

19 ك انَتْ قُوَّةُ الخُيُولِ فِي أفواهِها وَفِي ذُيُولِها، فَقَدْ كانَتْ ذُيُولُها كَالأفاعِي وَلَها رُؤُوسٌ مُؤذِيَةٌ.

For 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.

20 أ مّا بَقِيَّةُ النّاسِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُقتَلُوا بِهَذِهِ الضَّرباتِ، فَلَمْ يَتُوبُوا عَنْ أعمالِهِمُ السَّيِّئَةِ، وَلَمْ يَكُفُّوا عَنْ عِبادَةِ الأرواحِ الشِّرِّيرَةِ، وَأصنامِ الذَّهَبِ وَالفِضَّةِ وَالنُّحاسِ وَالحَجَرِ وَالخَشَبِ، الَّتِي لا تَستَطِيعُ أنْ تَرَى أوْ تَسمَعَ أوْ تَسِيرَ.

The 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.

21 و َلَمْ يَتُوبُوا عَنْ جَرائِمِهِمْ، وَلا عَنْ سِحرِهِمْ أوْ زِناهُمْ أوْ عَنْ سَرِقاتِهِمْ.

They didn’t repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their sexual immorality, nor of their thefts.
