1En die vyfde engel het die basuin geblaas; en ek het ’n ster gesien wat uit die hemel op die aarde geval het, en aan hom is die sleutel van die put van die afgrond gegee.Καὶ ὁ πέμπτος ἄγγελος ἐσάλπισεν· καὶ εἶδον ἀστέρα ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ πεπτωκότα εἰς τὴν γῆν, καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ ἡ κλεὶς τοῦ φρέατος τῆς ἀβύσσου·Then the fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to earth, and it was given the key to the pit of the Abyss. 2En hy het die put van die afgrond geopen, en rook het uit die put opgestyg soos die rook van 'n groot oond, en die son en die lug is verduister deur die rook van die put.

Sommige manuskripte lees: soos die rook van 'n brandende oond.

καὶ ἤνοιξεν τὸ φρέαρ τῆς ἀβύσσου, καὶ ἀνέβη καπνὸς ἐκ τοῦ φρέατος ὡς καπνὸς καμίνου ⸀μεγάλης, καὶ ⸀ἐσκοτώθη ὁ ἥλιος καὶ ὁ ἀὴρ ἐκ τοῦ καπνοῦ τοῦ φρέατος.The star opened the pit of the Abyss, and smoke rose out of it like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the pit. 3En uit die rook het sprinkane op die aarde uitgekom, en aan hulle is mag gegee soos die skerpioene van die aarde mag het.καὶ ἐκ τοῦ καπνοῦ ἐξῆλθον ἀκρίδες εἰς τὴν γῆν, καὶ ἐδόθη αὐταῖς ἐξουσία ὡς ἔχουσιν ἐξουσίαν οἱ σκορπίοι τῆς γῆς.And out of the smoke, locusts descended on the earth, and they were given power like that of the scorpions of the earth. 4En aan hulle is gesê dat hulle nie die gras van die aarde of enige groen plant of enige boom skade mag aandoen nie, maar net die mense wat nie die seël van God op hulle voorkoppe het nie.καὶ ἐρρέθη αὐταῖς ἵνα μὴ ⸀ἀδικήσουσιν τὸν χόρτον τῆς γῆς οὐδὲ πᾶν χλωρὸν οὐδὲ πᾶν δένδρον, εἰ μὴ τοὺς ἀνθρώπους οἵτινες οὐκ ἔχουσι τὴν σφραγῖδα τοῦ θεοῦ ἐπὶ τῶν ⸀μετώπων.They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5En aan hulle is gegee dat hulle hulle nie moet doodmaak nie, maar dat hulle vyf maande lank gepynig sal word; en hulle pyniging is soos die pyniging van ’n skerpioen wanneer hy ’n mens steek.καὶ ἐδόθη ⸀αὐτοῖς ἵνα μὴ ἀποκτείνωσιν αὐτούς, ἀλλʼ ἵνα ⸀βασανισθήσονται μῆνας πέντε· καὶ ὁ βασανισμὸς αὐτῶν ὡς βασανισμὸς σκορπίου, ὅταν παίσῃ ἄνθρωπον.The locusts were not given power to kill them, but only to torment them for five months, and their torment was like the stinging of a scorpion. 6En in daardie dae sal die mense die dood soek en dit glad nie vind nie, en hulle sal begeer om te sterf, en die dood vlug van hulle af weg.καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις ζητήσουσιν οἱ ἄνθρωποι τὸν θάνατον καὶ οὐ μὴ εὑρήσουσιν αὐτόν, καὶ ἐπιθυμήσουσιν ἀποθανεῖν καὶ ⸀φεύγει ⸂ὁ θάνατος ἀπʼ αὐτῶν⸃.In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, but death will escape them.

7En die voorkoms van die sprinkane was soos perde wat vir die oorlog gereedgemaak is, en op hulle koppe was iets soos krone wat soos goud lyk, en hulle gesigte was soos die gesigte van mense,Καὶ τὰ ὁμοιώματα τῶν ἀκρίδων ὅμοια ἵπποις ἡτοιμασμένοις εἰς πόλεμον, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν ὡς στέφανοι ⸂ὅμοιοι χρυσῷ⸃, καὶ τὰ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν ὡς πρόσωπα ἀνθρώπων,And the locusts looked like horses prepared for battle, with something like crowns of gold on their heads; and their faces were like the faces of men. 8en hulle het hare gehad soos die hare van vroue, en hulle tande was soos dié van leeus,καὶ εἶχον τρίχας ὡς τρίχας γυναικῶν, καὶ οἱ ὀδόντες αὐτῶν ὡς λεόντων ἦσαν,They had hair like that of women, and teeth like those of lions. 9en hulle het borsharnasse gehad soos borsharnasse van yster, en die geluid van hulle vlerke was soos die geluid van strydwaens van baie perde wat na die oorlog toe hardloop;καὶ εἶχον θώρακας ὡς θώρακας σιδηροῦς, καὶ ἡ φωνὴ τῶν πτερύγων αὐτῶν ὡς φωνὴ ἁρμάτων ἵππων πολλῶν τρεχόντων εἰς πόλεμον·They also had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the roar of many horses and chariots rushing into battle. 10en hulle het sterte soos skerpioene, en angels, en in hulle sterte is hulle mag om die mense vyf maande lank skade aan te doen.καὶ ἔχουσιν οὐρὰς ὁμοίας σκορπίοις καὶ κέντρα, καὶ ἐν ταῖς οὐραῖς αὐτῶν ⸂ἡ ἐξουσία αὐτῶν⸃ ἀδικῆσαι τοὺς ἀνθρώπους μῆνας πέντε.They had tails with stingers like scorpions, which had the power to injure people for five months. 11Hulle het oor hulle as koning die engel van die afgrond; sy naam is in Hebreeus Abaddon, en in die Grieks het hy die naam Apollion.

Die naam beteken Die naam Abaddon beteken “verwoesting” en Apollion “verwoester”.

⸂ἔχουσιν ἐπʼ αὐτῶν βασιλέα τὸν⸃ ἄγγελον τῆς ἀβύσσου· ὄνομα αὐτῷ Ἑβραϊστὶ Ἀβαδδών, ⸂καὶ ἐν⸃ τῇ Ἑλληνικῇ ὄνομα ἔχει Ἀπολλύων.They were ruled by a king, the angel of the Abyss. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek it is Apollyon. 12Die eerste wee het verbygegaan; kyk, daar kom nog twee weë ná hierdie dinge.Ἡ οὐαὶ ἡ μία ἀπῆλθεν· ἰδοὺ ἔρχεται ἔτι δύο οὐαὶ μετὰ ταῦτα.The first woe has passed. Behold, two woes are still to follow.

13En die sesde engel het die basuin geblaas; en ek het een stem gehoor uit die horings van die goue altaar wat voor God is,

Sommige manuskripte lees: uit die vier horings van die goue altaar.

Καὶ ὁ ἕκτος ἄγγελος ἐσάλπισεν· καὶ ἤκουσα φωνὴν μίαν ἐκ ⸀τῶν κεράτων τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου τοῦ χρυσοῦ τοῦ ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ,Then the sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God 14wat aan die sesde engel, wat die trompet het, gesê het: “Maak die vier engele los wat by die groot rivier, die Eufraat, gebind is.”⸀λέγοντα τῷ ἕκτῳ ἀγγέλῳ, ὁ ἔχων τὴν σάλπιγγα· Λῦσον τοὺς τέσσαρας ἀγγέλους τοὺς δεδεμένους ἐπὶ τῷ ποταμῷ τῷ μεγάλῳ Εὐφράτῃ.saying to the sixth angel with the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” 15En die vier engele is losgemaak wat gereedgemaak was vir die uur en dag en maand en jaar, om 'n derde van die mense dood te maak.καὶ ἐλύθησαν οἱ τέσσαρες ἄγγελοι οἱ ἡτοιμασμένοι εἰς τὴν ὥραν ⸀καὶ ἡμέραν καὶ μῆνα καὶ ἐνιαυτόν, ἵνα ἀποκτείνωσιν τὸ τρίτον τῶν ἀνθρώπων.So the four angels who had been prepared for this hour and day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind. 16En die getal van die leërs van die ruitery was twintigduisend maal tienduisend; ek het hulle getal gehoor.

Sommige manuskripte lees: tienduisende van tienduisende.

καὶ ὁ ἀριθμὸς τῶν στρατευμάτων τοῦ ⸀ἱππικοῦ ⸀δισμυριάδες μυριάδων· ἤκουσα τὸν ἀριθμὸν αὐτῶν.And the number of mounted troops was two hundred million; I heard their number. 17En so het ek die perde in die gesig gesien, en dié wat op hulle sit: hulle het borsharnasse gehad, vuurrooi en hiasintblou en swaelgeel; en die koppe van die perde was soos die koppe van leeus, en uit hulle monde kom vuur en rook en swael uit.

Letterlik: van vuur en van hiasint en van swael.

καὶ οὕτως εἶδον τοὺς ἵππους ἐν τῇ ὁράσει καὶ τοὺς καθημένους ἐπʼ αὐτῶν, ἔχοντας θώρακας πυρίνους καὶ ὑακινθίνους καὶ θειώδεις· καὶ αἱ κεφαλαὶ τῶν ἵππων ὡς κεφαλαὶ λεόντων, καὶ ἐκ τῶν στομάτων αὐτῶν ἐκπορεύεται πῦρ καὶ καπνὸς καὶ θεῖον.Now the horses and riders in my vision looked like this: The riders had breastplates the colors of fire, sapphire, and sulfur. The heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths proceeded fire, smoke, and sulfur. 18Deur hierdie drie plae is 'n derde van die mense doodgemaak, deur die vuur en die rook en die swael wat uit hulle monde uitkom.ἀπὸ τῶν τριῶν πληγῶν τούτων ἀπεκτάνθησαν τὸ τρίτον τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ⸀ἐκ τοῦ πυρὸς καὶ τοῦ καπνοῦ καὶ τοῦ θείου τοῦ ἐκπορευομένου ἐκ τῶν στομάτων αὐτῶν.A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke, and sulfur that proceeded from their mouths. 19Want die mag van die perde is in hulle mond en in hulle sterte; want hulle sterte is soos slange, met koppe, en daarmee doen hulle skade.ἡ γὰρ ἐξουσία τῶν ἵππων ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν ἐστιν καὶ ἐν ταῖς οὐραῖς αὐτῶν· αἱ γὰρ οὐραὶ αὐτῶν ὅμοιαι ⸀ὄφεσιν, ἔχουσαι κεφαλάς, καὶ ἐν αὐταῖς ἀδικοῦσιν.For the power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails; indeed, their tails were like snakes, having heads with which to inflict harm.

20En die res van die mense, wat nie deur hierdie plae doodgemaak is nie, het hulle ook nie bekeer van die werke van hulle hande nie, sodat hulle nie die demone en die afgode van goud en silwer en brons en steen en hout aanbid nie, wat nie kan sien of hoor of loop nie,Καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων, οἳ οὐκ ἀπεκτάνθησαν ἐν ταῖς πληγαῖς ταύταις, ⸀οὐδὲ μετενόησαν ἐκ τῶν ἔργων τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν, ἵνα μὴ ⸀προσκυνήσουσιν τὰ δαιμόνια καὶ τὰ εἴδωλα τὰ χρυσᾶ καὶ τὰ ἀργυρᾶ καὶ τὰ χαλκᾶ καὶ τὰ λίθινα καὶ τὰ ξύλινα, ἃ οὔτε βλέπειν ⸀δύνανται οὔτε ἀκούειν οὔτε περιπατεῖν,Now the rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the works of their hands. They did not stop worshiping demons and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk. 21en hulle het hulle nie bekeer van hulle moorde nie, ook nie van hulle towerye nie, ook nie van hulle onsedelikheid nie, ook nie van hulle diefstalle nie.καὶ οὐ μετενόησαν ἐκ τῶν φόνων αὐτῶν οὔτε ἐκ τῶν ⸀φαρμάκων αὐτῶν οὔτε ἐκ τῆς πορνείας αὐτῶν οὔτε ἐκ τῶν κλεμμάτων αὐτῶν.Furthermore, they did not repent of their murder, sorcery, sexual immorality, and theft.
