1Pea naʻe ifi ʻe hono nima ʻoe ʻāngelo, pea u mamata naʻe tō ʻae fetuʻu mei he langi ki he fonua; pea naʻe ʻatu kiate ia ʻae kī ʻoe luo taʻehanotakele.
1Then 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.
2Pea naʻe fakaava ʻe ia ʻae luo taʻehanotakele; pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae kohu mei he luo, ʻo hangē ko e kohu ʻoe fuʻu luo afi; pea ko e meʻa ʻi he kohu ʻoe luo, naʻe fakapoʻuli ʻae laʻā mo e ʻatā.
2The 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.
3Pea naʻe haʻu mei he kohu ʻae fanga heʻe ki he fonua: pea naʻe ʻatu ki ai ʻae mālohi, ʻo hangē ko e mālohi ʻoe fanga sikopio ʻoe fonua.
3And out of the smoke, locusts descended on the earth, and they were given power like that of the scorpions of the earth.
4Pea naʻe fekau kiate kinautolu ke ʻoua te nau maumau ʻae mohuku ʻoe fonua, pe ha meʻa mata ʻe taha, pe ha ʻakau; ka ko e kau tangata pe ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻi honau foʻi laʻē ʻae fakaʻilonga ʻae ʻOtua.
4They 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.
5Pea naʻe tuku kiate kinautolu ke ʻoua naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu, ka ke fakamamahiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he māhina ʻe nima: pea ko ʻenau mamahi naʻe tatau mo e mamahi ʻoe tangata kuo taaʻi ʻe he sikopio.
5The 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.
6Pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, ʻe kumi ʻae kakai ki he mate, ka ʻe ʻikai ʻilo ia; pea te nau holi ke mate, ka ʻe puna ʻae mate meiate kinautolu.
6In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, but death will escape them.
7Pea ko e sino ʻoe fanga heʻe naʻe tatau mo e fanga hoosi kuo teuteu ki he tau; pea naʻe ʻi honau ʻulu ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi pale koula, pea ko honau mata naʻe tatau mo e mata ʻoe tangata.
7And the locusts looked like horses prepared for battle, with something like crowns of gold on their heads, and faces like the faces of men.
8Pea naʻa nau louʻulu ʻo hangē ko e louʻulu ʻoe kau fefine, pea ko honau kau nifo naʻe hangē ko e nifo ʻoe fanga laione.
8They had hair like that of women, and teeth like those of lions.
9Pea naʻe ai honau ngaahi sifa fatafata, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi sifa fatafata ukamea; pea ko e patū ʻo honau kapakau naʻe tatau mo e longoaʻa. ʻOe ngaahi saliote, mo e fanga hoosi lahi ʻoku feleleʻi ki he tau.
9They also had thoraxes like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the roar of many horses and chariots rushing into battle.
10Pea naʻe ai honau ngaahi iku ʻo hangē ko e fanga sikopio, pea naʻe ʻi honau ngaahi iku ʻae ngaahi huhu: pea naʻa nau mālohi ke tautea ʻae kakai ʻi he māhina ʻe nima.
10They had tails with stingers like scorpions, which had the power to injure people for five months.
11Pea naʻe ai ʻae tuʻi kiate kinautolu, ko e ʻāngelo ʻoe luo taʻehanotakele, ko hono hingoa ʻi he lea fakaHepelū ko ʻApatoni, ka ko hono hingoa ʻi he lea fakaKiliki ko ʻApolione.
11They were ruled by a king, the angel of the Abyss. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek it is Apollyon.
12Kuo hili ange ʻae malaʻia ʻe taha; vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻamui ʻae malaʻia kehe ʻe ua,
12The first woe has passed. Behold, two woes are still to follow.
13Pea naʻe ifi ʻe hono ono ʻoe ʻāngelo, pea u fanongo ki he leʻo mei he nifo ʻe fā ʻoe ʻesifeilaulau koula ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua,
13Then the sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God
14ʻOku pehē ki hono ono ʻoe ʻāngelo, naʻe ʻi ai ʻae meʻa lea, “Vevete ʻae kau ʻāngelo ʻe toko fā, ʻaia kuo haʻisia ʻi he vaitafe lahi ko ʻIufaleti.”
14saying to the sixth angel with the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.”
15Pea naʻe vete ange ʻae kau ʻāngelo ʻe toko fā, ʻakinautolu naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ki ha feituʻulaʻā, pea ki ha ʻaho, pea ki ha māhina, pea ki ha taʻu, koeʻuhi ke tāmateʻi ʻa hono tolu ʻoe vahe ʻoe kakai.
15So the four angels who had been prepared for this hour and day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind.
16Pea ko hono lau ʻoe tau, ko e kau tangata heka hoosi ko e toko uangeau miliona: pea ne u fanongo ki honau lau.
16And the number of mounted troops was two hundred million; I heard their number.
17Pea naʻe pehē pē ʻa ʻeku mamata ki he fanga hoosi, ʻi he meʻa naʻe hā mai, mo kinautolu naʻe heka ai, ko honau sifa fatafata naʻe lanu ki he afi, mo e lanu moana, mo e felofelo: pea ko e ʻulu ʻoe fanga hoosi naʻe tatau mo e ʻulu ʻoe fanga laione; pea naʻe ʻoho mei honau ngutu ʻae afi, mo e ʻohuafi, mo e sulifa.
17Now 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.
18Ko e meʻa ko eni ʻe tolu naʻe tāmate ʻaki ʻa hono tolu ʻoe vahe ʻoe kakai, ʻae afi, mo e ʻohuafi, mo e sulifa, ʻaia naʻe ʻoho mei honau ngutu.
18A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke, and sulfur that proceeded from their mouths.
19He ko honau mālohi ʻoku ʻi honau ngutu, mo honau iku: he naʻe tatau honau iku mo e fanga ngata, pea naʻe fakaʻulu, pea ko ia ʻoku nau fai ʻaki ʻae maumau.
19For 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.
20Pea ko hono toe ʻoe kakai naʻe ʻikai ke tāmateʻi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi fakamamahi ni, naʻe ʻikai te nau fakatomala ʻi he ngaahi ngāue ʻa honau nima, ke ʻoua te nau hū ki he kau tēvolo, mo e ngaahi tamapua koula, mo e siliva, mo e palasa, mo e maka, mo e ʻakau: ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai faʻa mamata, pe fanongo, pe ʻaʻeva:
20Now 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.
21Pea naʻe ʻikai tenau fakatomala ʻi he ʻenau ngaahi fakapō, mo ʻenau ngaahi fie mana, mo ʻenau feʻauaki, mo ʻenau faʻa kaihaʻa.
21Furthermore, they did not repent of their murder, sorcery, sexual immorality, and theft.
