The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to earth, and the star was given the key to the pit of the abyss. (Abyssos g12)
2 tEna rasAtalakUpE muktE mahAgnikuNPasya dhUma iva dhUmastasmAt kUpAd udgataH| tasmAt kUpadhUmAt sUryyAkAzau timirAvRtau| (Abyssos g12)
He opened the pit of the abyss, and from the pit rose smoke like the smoke of a burning furnace. The sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the pit. (Abyssos g12)
3 tasmAd dhUmAt pataggESu pRthivyAM nirgatESu naralOkasthavRzcikavat balaM tEbhyO'dAyi|
Then out of the smoke locusts descended upon the earth, and they were given power like that of the scorpions of the earth.

They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green thing or any tree, but only those who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.

They were permitted to torment them for five months, but not to kill them, and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings someone.
6 tasmin samayE mAnavA mRtyuM mRgayiSyantE kintu prAptuM na zakSyanti, tE prANAn tyaktum abhilaSiSyanti kintu mRtyustEbhyO dUraM palAyiSyatE|
In those days people will seek death but will certainly not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them.

The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle, and on their heads they wore something like golden crowns; their faces were like human faces.
8 kEzAzca yOSitAM kEzAnAM sadRzAH, dantAzca siMhadantatulyAH,
They had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were like the teeth of lions.
9 lauhakavacavat tESAM kavacAni santi, tESAM pakSANAM zabdO raNAya dhAvatAmazvarathAnAM samUhasya zabdatulyaH|
They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of many horses and chariots rushing into battle.
10 vRzcikAnAmiva tESAM lAggUlAni santi, tESu lAggUlESu kaNTakAni vidyantE, aparaM panjca mAsAn yAvat mAnavAnAM hiMsanAya tE sAmarthyaprAptAH|
They have tails and stingers like scorpions, and in their tails they have the power to harm people for five months.
11 tESAM rAjA ca rasAtalasya dUtastasya nAma ibrIyabhASayA abaddOn yUnAnIyabhASayA ca apalluyOn arthatO vinAzaka iti| (Abyssos g12)
They have as king over them the angel of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek his name is Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)
12 prathamaH santApO gatavAn pazya itaH paramapi dvAbhyAM santApAbhyAm upasthAtavyaM|
The first woe has passed. Behold, two woes are still to come after this.
13 tataH paraM SaSThadUtEna tUryyAM vAditAyAm IzvarasyAntikE sthitAyAH suvarNavEdyAzcatuzcUPAtaH kasyacid ravO mayAzrAvi|
Then the sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a single voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God
14 sa tUrIdhAriNaM SaSThadUtam avadat, pharAtAkhyE mahAnadE yE catvArO dUtA baddhAH santi tAn mOcaya|
saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.”
15 tatastaddaNPasya taddinasya tanmAsasya tadvatsarasya ca kRtE nirUpitAstE catvArO dUtA mAnavAnAM tRtIyAMzasya badhArthaM mOcitAH|
So the four angels who were prepared for this hour, day, month, and year were released to kill a third of mankind.
16 aparam azvArOhisainyAnAM saMkhyA mayAzrAvi, tE viMzatikOTaya Asan|
The number of the troops on horse was ten thousand times ten thousand; I heard their number.

Now this is what the horses and their riders looked like in my vision: The riders had breastplates that were fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow. The heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and sulfur.
18 Etaistribhi rdaNPairarthatastESAM mukhEbhyO nirgacchadbhi rvahnidhUmagandhakai rmAnuSANAM tutIyAMzO 'ghAni|
By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed—by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur that came out of the horses' mouths.
19 tESAM vAjinAM balaM mukhESu lAggUlESu ca sthitaM, yatastESAM lAggUlAni sarpAkArANi mastakaviziSTAni ca tairEva tE hiMsanti|
For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails, because their tails have heads like serpents, and with them they inflict harm.

The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent from the works of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons and idols of gold, silver, stone, and wood, which cannot see, hear, or walk.
21 svabadhakuhakavyabhicAracauryyObhyO 'pi manAMsi na parAvarttitavantaH|
Nor did they repent of their murders, sorceries, fornication, or thefts.
