1 A nd the fifth messenger did sound, and I saw a star out of the heaven having fallen to the earth, and there was given to it the key of the pit of the abyss,

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

2 a nd he did open the pit of the abyss, and there came up a smoke out of the pit as smoke of a great furnace, and darkened was the sun and the air, from 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 A nd out of the smoke came forth locusts to the earth, and there was given to them authority, as scorpions of the earth have authority,

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

4 a nd it was said to them that they may not injure the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but -- the men only who have not the seal of God upon 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 it was given to them that they may not kill them, but that they may be tormented five months, and their torment as the torment of a scorpion, when it may strike a man;

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

6 a nd in those days shall men seek the death, and they shall not find it, and they shall desire to die, and the death shall flee from them.

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

7 A nd the likenesses of the locusts like to horses made ready to battle, and upon their heads as crowns like gold, and their faces as faces of men,

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

8 a nd they had hair as hair of women, and their teeth were as of lions,

كانَ لَها شَعرٌ كَشَعرِ النِّساءِ، وَأسنانٌ كَأسنانِ الأُسُودِ.

9 a nd they had breastplates as breastplates of iron, and the noise of their wings as the noise of chariots of many horses running to battle;

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

10 a nd they have tails like to scorpions, and stings were in their tails; and their authority to injure men five months;

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

11 a nd they have over them a king -- the messenger of the abyss -- a name to him in Hebrew, Abaddon, and in the Greek he hath a name, Apollyon.

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

12 T he first wo did go forth, lo, there come yet two woes after these things.

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

13 A nd the sixth messenger did sound, and I heard a voice out of the four horns of the altar of gold that is before God,

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

14 s aying to the sixth messenger who had the trumpet, `Loose the four messengers 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 a nd loosed were the four messengers, who have been made ready for the hour, and day, and month, and year, that they may kill the third of men;

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

16 a nd the number of the forces of the horsemen two myriads of myriads, and 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, and those sitting upon them, having breastplates of fire, and jacinth, and brimstone; and the heads of the horses as heads of lions, and out of their mouths proceedeth fire, and 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 were the third of men killed, from the fire, and from the smoke, and from the brimstone, that is proceeding out of their mouth,

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

19 f or their authorities are in their mouth, and in their tails, for their tails like serpents, having heads, and with them they do injure;

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

20 a nd the rest of men, who were not killed in these plagues, neither did reform from the works of their hands, that they may not bow before the demons, and idols, those of gold, and those of silver, and those of brass, and those of stone, and those of wood, that are neither able to see, nor to hear, nor to 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 y ea they did not reform from their murders, nor from their sorceries, nor from their whoredoms, nor from their thefts.

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