¹ Διοτι, ιδου, εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις και εν τω καιρω εκεινω, οταν επιστρεψω τους αιχμαλωτους του Ιουδα και της Ιερουσαλημ,

² θελω συναξει ετι παντα τα εθνη και θελω καταβιβασει αυτα εις την κοιλαδα του Ιωσαφατ, και θελω κριθη μετ' αυτων εκει υπερ του λαου μου και της κληρονομιας μου Ισραηλ, τον οποιον διεσπειραν μεταξυ των εθνων και διεμοιρασθησαν την γην μου·

³ και ερριψαν κληρους δια τον λαον μου· και εδωκαν παιδιον δια πορνην και επωλουν κορασιον δια οινον και επινον.

⁴ Και ετι τι εχετε σεις να καμητε μετ' εμου, Τυρε και Σιδων και παντα τα ορια της Παλαιστινης; θελετε μοι ανταποδωσει ανταποδομα; εαν σεις ανταποδωσητε εις εμε, χωρις αργοποριας ταχεως θελω επιστρεψει το ανταποδομα σας επι την κεφαλην σας.

⁵ Διοτι ελαβετε το αργυριον μου και το χρυσιον μου, και τα εκλεκτα μου αγαθα εφερετε εις τους ναους σας.

⁶ Τους δε υιους Ιουδα και τους υιους Ιερουσαλημ επωλησατε εις τους υιους των Ελληνων, δια να απομακρυνητε αυτους απο των οριων αυτων.

⁷ Ιδου, εγω θελω εγειρει αυτους απο του τοπου οπου επωλησατε αυτους, και θελω επιστρεψει το ανταποδομα σας επι την κεφαλην σας.

⁸ Και θελω πωλησει τους υιους σας και τας θυγατερας σας εις την χειρα των υιων Ιουδα, και θελουσι πωλησει αυτους εις τους Σαβαιους, εις εθνος μακραν απεχον· διοτι ο Κυριος ελαλησε.

⁹ Κηρυξατε τουτο εν τοις εθνεσιν, αγιασατε πολεμον, διεγειρατε τους μαχητας, ας πλησιασωσιν, ας αναβαινωσι παντες οι ανδρες του πολεμου·

¹⁰ σφυρηλατησατε τα υνια σας εις ρομφαιας και τα δρεπανα σας εις λογχας· ο αδυνατος ας λεγη, Εγω ειμαι δυνατος·

¹¹ Συναθροισθητε και ελθετε κυκλοθεν, παντα τα εθνη, και συναχθητε ομου· εκει θελει καταστρεψει ο Κυριος τους ισχυρους σου.

¹² Ας εγερθωσι και ας αναβωσι τα εθνη εις την κοιλαδα του Ιωσαφατ· διοτι εκει θελω καθησει δια να κρινω παντα τα εθνη τα κυκλοθεν.

¹³ Βαλετε δρεπανον, διοτι ο θερισμος ειναι ωριμος· ελθετε, καταβητε· διοτι ο ληνος ειναι πληρης, τα υποληνια υπερεκχειλιζουσιν· επειδη η κακια αυτων ειναι μεγαλη.

¹⁴ Πληθη, πληθη εις την κοιλαδα της δικης· διοτι εγγυς ειναι η ημερα του Κυριου εις την κοιλαδα της δικης.

¹⁵ Ο ηλιος και σεληνη θελουσι συσκοτασει και οι αστερες θελουσι συρει οπισω το φεγγος αυτων.

¹⁶ Ο δε Κυριος θελει βρυχησει εκ Σιων και εκπεμψει την φωνην αυτου εξ Ιερουσαλημ· και οι ουρανοι και η γη θελουσι σεισθη· αλλ' ο Κυριος θελει εισθαι το καταφυγιον του λαου αυτου και η ισχυς των υιων Ισραηλ.

¹⁷ Ουτω θελετε γνωρισει οτι εγω ειμαι Κυριος ο Θεος σας, ο κατοικων εν Σιων, τω ορει τω αγιω μου· τοτε η Ιερουσαλημ θελει εισθαι αγια και αλλογενεις δεν θελουσι διελθει δι' αυτης πλεον.

¹⁸ Και εν τη ημερα εκεινη τα ορη θελουσι σταλαξει γλευκος και οι λοφοι θελουσι ρεει γαλα και παντες οι ρυακες του Ιουδα θελουσι ρεει υδατα και πηγη θελει εξελθει εκ του οικου του Κυριου και θελει ποτιζει την φαραγγα του Σιττειμ.

¹⁹ Η Αιγυπτος θελει εισθαι ηρημωμενη και ο Εδωμ θελει εισθαι ερημος αβατος δια τας εις τους υιους Ιουδα αδικιας, διοτι εχυσαν αιμα αθωον εν τη γη αυτων.

²⁰ Η δε Ιουδαια θελει κατοικεισθαι εις τον αιωνα και η Ιερουσαλημ εις γενεας γενεων.

²¹ Και θελω καθαρισει το αιμα αυτων, το οποιον δεν εκαθαρισα· διοτι ο Κυριος κατοικει εν Σιων.

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.
