(A)Awo malayika owookutaano n’afuuwa ekkondeere lye, ne ndaba emmunyeenye ng’eva mu ggulu ng’egwa ku nsi era n’eweebwa ekisumuluzo eky’obunnya obutakoma. (B)Bwe yabusumulula, omukka ne gufubutuka okuvaamu ng’oguva mu kikoomi ekinene ennyo, era enjuba ne bbanga lyonna ne bibuna ekizikiza olw’omukka ogw’omu bunnya. (C)Enzige ne ziva mu mukka ne zikka ku nsi ne ziweebwa obuyinza okuluma ng’enjaba ez’obusagwa. (D)Zaagambibwa obutakola ku muddo kabi konna, newaakubadde ebimera, wadde emiti; wabula zirumbe abantu abo abataalina kabonero ka Katonda mu byenyi byabwe. (E)Tezaagambibwa kubatta wabula okubabonyaabonya okumala emyezi etaano nga zibaluma bulumi, ng’obulumi bwazo buli ng’obuva mu kubojjebwa enjaba ez’obusagwa. Mu biro ebyo abantu balyagala okwetta naye tekirisoboka kubanga okufa kuliba kubeesamba; balyegomba okufa naye kwo, nga kubadduka buddusi!

Enzige zino zaali zifaanana ng’embalaasi ezitegekeddwa okugenda ku lutalo okulwana, ne ku mitwe gyazo nga kuli ng’okutikkiddwa engule za zaabu ate ebyenyi byazo nga biri ng’eby’abantu.

N’obuyinza bwazo obw’okubonyaabonya obwaziweebwa obw’emyezi etaano bwali mu mikira omwo. 11 (H)Kabaka waazo ye malayika ow’obunnya obutakoma, erinnya lye mu Lwebbulaniya ye Abadoni[a] ate mu Luyonaani ye Apolwoni.[b]

12 (I)Eky’entiisa ekisooka ne kiyita, naye ng’ekyaliyo bya mirundi ebiri ebijja!

13 (J)Awo malayika ow’omukaaga n’afuuwa ekkondeere lye, ne mpulira eddoboozi nga lyogera okuva mu mayembe ana agali ku kyoto ekya zaabu ekiri mu maaso ga Katonda, 14 (K)nga ligamba malayika oyo ow’omukaaga nti, “Sumulula bamalayika abana abaasibirwa ku mugga omunene Fulaati.” 15 (L)Bamalayika abana abaali basibiddwa nga balindirira omwaka n’omwezi ogwo, n’olunaku olwo, n’essaawa eyo, ne basumululwa okutta ekitundu ekimu ekyokusatu eky’abantu. 16 (M)Ne mpulira omuwendo ogw’eggye ery’abaserikale nga bali obukadde ebikumi bibiri.

17 (N)Ne ndaba mu kwolesebwa, ng’embalaasi n’abaali bazeebagadde nga bambadde eby’omu bifuba ebimyufu, era mwalimu n’abambadde ebya bbululu n’ebya kyenvu. Emitwe gy’embalaasi gyali gifaanana ng’egy’empologoma, ne mu bumwa bwazo ne muvaamu omuliro n’omukka ne salufa. 18 (O)Ebibonyoobonyo ebyo ebisatu: Omukka n’omuliro n’obuganga ebyava mu bumwa bwazo ne bitta ekitundu ekimu ekyokusatu eky’abantu. 19 Amaanyi gaazo ag’okutta tegaali mu bumwa bwazo mwokka, naye gaali ne mu mikira gyazo, kubanga emikira egyo gyali ng’emitwe gy’emisota, nga gye zibojjesa.

20 (P)Naye era abantu abaasigalawo nga balamu oluvannyuma lw’ebibonoobono bino ne bagaana okwenenya ebikolwa byabwe. Ne batalekaayo kusinza baddayimooni n’ebifaananyi ebyakolebwa n’emikono ebya zaabu n’ebya ffeeza, n’eby’ebikomo, n’eby’amayinja n’omuti, ebitalaba yadde okuwulira so n’okutambula tebitambula. 21 (Q)Era tebeenenya butemu bwabwe, wadde obulogo, wadde obwenzi, wadde obubbi bye baakolanga.

The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth.(A) The star was given the key(B) to the shaft of the Abyss.(C) When he opened the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace.(D) The sun and sky were darkened(E) by the smoke from the Abyss.(F) And out of the smoke locusts(G) came down on the earth and were given power like that of scorpions(H) of the earth. They were told not to harm(I) the grass of the earth or any plant or tree,(J) but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.(K) They were not allowed to kill them but only to torture them for five months.(L) And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion(M) when it strikes. During those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.(N)

The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle.(O) On their heads they wore something like crowns of gold, and their faces resembled human faces.(P) Their hair was like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth.(Q) They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle.(R) 10 They had tails with stingers, like scorpions, and in their tails they had power to torment people for five months.(S) 11 They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss,(T) whose name in Hebrew(U) is Abaddon(V) and in Greek is Apollyon (that is, Destroyer).

12 The first woe is past; two other woes are yet to come.(W)

13 The sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice coming from the four horns(X) of the golden altar that is before God.(Y) 14 It said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels(Z) who are bound at the great river Euphrates.”(AA) 15 And the four angels who had been kept ready for this very hour and day and month and year were released(AB) to kill a third(AC) of mankind.(AD) 16 The number of the mounted troops was twice ten thousand times ten thousand. I heard their number.(AE)

17 The horses and riders I saw in my vision looked like this: Their breastplates were fiery red, dark blue, and yellow as sulfur. The heads of the horses resembled the heads of lions, and out of their mouths(AF) came fire, smoke and sulfur.(AG) 18 A third(AH) of mankind was killed(AI) by the three plagues of fire, smoke and sulfur(AJ) that came out of their mouths. 19 The power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails; for their tails were like snakes, having heads with which they inflict injury.

20 The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent(AK) of the work of their hands;(AL) they did not stop worshiping demons,(AM) and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk.(AN) 21 Nor did they repent(AO) of their murders, their magic arts,(AP) their sexual immorality(AQ) or their thefts.
