¹ Nebo aj, v těch dnech a v ten čas, když zase přivedu zajatý lid Judský a Jeruzalémský,

² Shromáždím také všecky národy, a svedu je do údolí Jozafat, abych se tam soudil s nimi o lid svůj a dědictví své, Izraele, jejž rozptýlili mezi pohany a zemi mou rozdělili.

³ Také o lid můj metali los, a dávali mládence za nevěstku, mladice pak prodávali za víno, aby pili.

⁴ Anobrž, co vy máte proti mně, ó Tyrští a Sidonští, i všecky končiny Filistinské? Zdaliž se mi odplacujete? Jestliže mi se odplacujete, snadněť a vnáhleť i já obrátím odplatu vaši na hlavu vaši,

⁵ Kteříž stříbro mé i zlato mé béřete, a klénoty mé výborné vnášíte do chrámů svých,

⁶ A syny Judské i syny Jeruzalémské prodáváte synům Javanovým, aby je pryč zavodili od pomezí jejich.

⁷ Aj, já vzbudím je z toho místa, kamž jste je prodali, a obrátím odplatu vaši na hlavu vaši.

⁸ Prodám zajisté syny i dcery vaše v moc synů Judských, i prodadí je Sabejským, do národu dalekého; neboť jest Hospodin mluvil.

⁹ Provolejte to mezi národy, vyhlaste boj, probuďte reků, nechť přitáhnou, a dadí se najíti všickni muži váleční.

¹⁰ Skujte motyky své v meče, a srpy své v oštípy; ten, kterýž jest mdlý, nechť řekne: Udatný jsem.

¹¹ Shromažďte se a přitáhněte všickni národové okolní, a shlukněte se; způsobiž to, ať tam sstoupí, ó Hospodine, rekové tvoji.

¹² Probudíť se a přitáhnou národové ti do údolé Jozafat; nebo tam se posadím, abych soudil všecky ty národy okolní.

¹³ Přičiňte srp, nebo uzralo obilé; poďte, sstupte, nebo plný jest pres, oplývají kádě; mnohá zajisté jest zlost jejich.

¹⁴ Ale více hromad, hromad v údolí posekání; nebo blízký jest den Hospodinův, v údolí posekání.

¹⁵ Slunce a měsíc zatmí se, a hvězdy potratí blesk svůj.

¹⁶ A Hospodin řváti bude z Siona, a z Jeruzaléma vydá hlas svůj, tak že se třásti budou nebesa i země; nebo Hospodin jest útočiště lidu svého, a síla synů Izraelských.

¹⁷ I zvíte, že já Hospodin jsem Bohem vaším, kterýž bydlím na Sionu, hoře svatosti své, a tak Jeruzalém bude svatý, a cizí nepůjdou přes něj více.

¹⁸ I stane se v ten čas, že hory dštíti budou mstem, a pahrbkové oplývati mlékem, a všickni potokové Judští budou plní vody, a studnice z domu Hospodinova vyjde, kteráž zapojí údolé Setim.

¹⁹ Egypt na zpuštění přijde, a země Idumejská hrozně zpuštěna bude pro násilí synům Judským činěné; nebo vylévali krev nevinnou v zemi jejich.

²⁰ Juda pak na věky trvati bude, a Jeruzalém od národu do pronárodu.

²¹ A očistím ty, jejichž jsem krve neočistil; nebo Hospodin přebývá na Sionu.

¹ The fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from the sky which had fallen to the earth. The key to the pit of the abyss was given to him.

² He opened the pit of the abyss, and smoke went up out of the pit, like the smoke from a burning furnace. The sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke from the pit.

³ Then out of the smoke came forth locusts on the earth, and power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

⁴ They were told that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only those people who don't have God's seal on their foreheads.

⁵ They were given power not to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion, when it strikes a person.

⁶ In those days people will seek death, and will in no way find it. They will desire to die, and death will flee from them.

⁷ The shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared for war. On their heads were something like golden crowns, and their faces were like people's faces.

⁸ They had hair like women's hair, and their teeth were like those of lions.

⁹ They had breastplates, like breastplates of iron. The sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots, or of many horses rushing to war.

¹⁰ They have tails like those of scorpions, and stings. In their tails they have power to harm men for five months.

¹¹ They have over them as king the angel of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is "Abaddon," but in Greek, he has the name "Apollyon."

¹² The first woe is past. Behold, there are still two woes coming after this.

¹³ The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God,

¹⁴ saying to the sixth angel who had one trumpet, "Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates!"

¹⁵ The four angels were freed who had been prepared for that hour and day and month and year, so that they might kill one third of mankind.

¹⁶ The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million. I heard the number of them.

¹⁷ Thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those who sat on them, having breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of lions. Out of their mouths proceed fire, smoke, and sulfur.

¹⁸ By these three plagues were one third of mankind killed: by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur, which proceeded out of their mouths.

¹⁹ For the power of the horses is in their mouths, and in their tails. For their tails are like serpents, and have heads, and with them they harm.

²⁰ The rest of mankind, who were not killed with these plagues, didn't repent of the works of their hands, that they wouldn't worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood; which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk.

²¹ They didn't repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their sexual immorality, nor of their thefts.
