1 T hen the fifth angel sounded: And I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit.

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

2 A nd he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. So the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit.

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

3 T hen out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

ثُمَّ خَرَجَ مِنَ الدُّخانِ جَرادٌ إلَى الأرْضِ. وَأُعطِيَ الجَرادُ قَدرَةً كَقُدرَةِ العَقارِبِ عَلَى الأرْضِ.

4 T hey were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.

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

5 A nd they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man.

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

6 I n those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them.

وَخِلالَ ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ، سَيَطلُبُ النّاسُ المَوتَ فَلا يَجِدُونَهُ. سَيَتُوقُونَ إلَى المَوتِ، فَيَخْتَبِئَ المَوتُ مِنهُمْ.

7 T he shape of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were crowns of something like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men.

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

8 T hey had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth.

كانَ لَها شَعرٌ كَشَعرِ النِّساءِ، وَأسنانٌ كَأسنانِ الأُسُودِ.

9 A nd they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots with many horses running into battle.

صُدُورُها كَدُرُوعٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، وَصَوتُ أجنِحَتِها كَصَوتِ عَرَباتٍ تَجُرُّها خُيُولٌ كَثِيرَةٌ تَندَفِعُ نَحوَ المَعرَكَةِ.

10 T hey had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men five months.

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

11 A nd they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon.

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

12 O ne woe is past. Behold, still two more woes are coming after these things. Sixth Trumpet: The Angels from the Euphrates

لَقَدْ مَضَى الوَيلُ الأوَّلُ، لَكِنْ سَيَأتِي وَيلانِ آخَرانِ بَعدَ هَذا.

13 T hen the sixth angel sounded: And I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,

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

14 s aying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.”

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

15 S o the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind.

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

16 N ow the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them.

وَكانَ عَدَدُ الفُرسانِ مِئَتَي مِليُونَ فارِسٍ، فَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ عَدَدَهُمْ.

17 A nd thus I saw the horses in the vision: those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone.

وَفِي 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.

18 B y these three plagues a third of mankind was killed—by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their mouths.

بِهَذِهِ الثَّلاثةِ: النّارِ وَالدُّخانِ وَالكِبِرِيتِ الَّذي يَخرُجُ مِنْ أفواهِها، قُتِلَ ثُلْثُ الجِنسِ البَشَرِيِّ.

19 F or their power is in their mouth and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads; and with them they do harm.

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

20 B ut the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk.

أمّا 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.

21 A nd they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.

وَلَمْ يَتُوبُوا عَنْ جَرائِمِهِمْ، وَلا عَنْ سِحرِهِمْ أوْ زِناهُمْ أوْ عَنْ سَرِقاتِهِمْ.
