The Latin Vulgate VUL
New King James Version NKJV
1 et quintus angelus tuba cecinit et vidi stellam de caelo cecidisse in terram et data est illi clavis putei abyssi
1
Then 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.
2 et aperuit puteum abyssi et ascendit fumus putei sicut fumus fornacis magnae et obscuratus est sol et aer de fumo putei
2
And 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.
3 et de fumo exierunt lucustae in terram et data est illis potestas sicut habent potestatem scorpiones terrae
3
Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4 et praeceptum est illis ne laederent faenum terrae neque omne viride neque omnem arborem nisi tantum homines qui non habent signum Dei in frontibus
4
They 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.
5 et datum est illis ne occiderent eos sed ut cruciarentur mensibus quinque et cruciatus eorum ut cruciatus scorpii cum percutit hominem
5
And 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.
6 et in diebus illis quaerent homines mortem et non invenient eam et desiderabunt mori et fugiet mors ab ipsis
6
In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them.
7 et similitudines lucustarum similes equis paratis in proelium et super capita earum tamquam coronae similes auro et facies earum sicut facies hominum
7
The 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.
8 et habebant capillos sicut capillos mulierum et dentes earum sicut leonum erant
8
They had hair like women's hair, and their teeth were like lions' teeth.
9 et habebant loricas sicut loricas ferreas et vox alarum earum sicut vox curruum equorum multorum currentium in bellum
9
And 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.
10 et habebant caudas similes scorpionum et aculei in caudis earum potestas earum nocere hominibus mensibus quinque
10
They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men five months.
11 et habebant super se regem angelum abyssi cui nomen hebraice Abaddon graece autem Apollyon et latine habet nomen Exterminans
11
And 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.
12 vae unum abiit ecce veniunt adhuc duo vae post haec
12
One woe is past. Behold, still two more woes are coming after these things.
13 et sextus angelus tuba cecinit et audivi vocem unum ex cornibus altaris aurei quod est ante oculos Dei
13
Then the sixth angel sounded: And I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
14 dicentem sexto angelo qui habebat tubam solve quattuor angelos qui alligati sunt in flumine magno Eufrate
14
saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates."
15 et soluti sunt quattuor angeli qui parati erant in horam et diem et mensem et annum ut occiderent tertiam partem hominum
15
So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind.
16 et numerus equestris exercitus vicies milies dena milia audivi numerum eorum
16
Now the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them.
17 et ita vidi equos in visione et qui sedebant super eos habentes loricas igneas et hyacinthinas et sulphureas et capita equorum erant tamquam capita leonum et de ore ipsorum procedit ignis et fumus et sulphur
17
And 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.
18 ab his tribus plagis occisa est tertia pars hominum de igne et fumo et sulphure qui procedebat ex ore ipsorum
18
By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed--by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their mouths.
19 potestas enim equorum in ore eorum est et in caudis eorum nam caudae illorum similes serpentibus habentes capita et in his nocent
19
For their power is in their mouth and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads; and with them they do harm.
20 et ceteri homines qui non sunt occisi in his plagis neque paenitentiam egerunt de operibus manuum suarum ut non adorarent daemonia et simulacra aurea et argentea et aerea et lapidea et lignea quae neque videre possunt neque audire neque ambulare
20
But 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.
21 et non egerunt paenitentiam ab homicidiis suis neque a veneficiis suis neque a fornicatione sua neque a furtis suis
21
And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.
