1 ⲁ̅ ⲡⲙⲉϩϯⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲥⲁⲗⲡⲓⲍⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲥⲓⲟⲩ ⲁϥϩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲧⲡⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲙⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⲙⲡϣⲟϣⲧ ⲛⲧϣⲱⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲛ (Abyssos g12)
And the fifth Angel sounded the trumpet. And I saw upon the earth, a star that had fallen from heaven, and the key to the well of the abyss was given to him. (Abyssos g12)
2 ⲃ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲛⲧϣⲱⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲛ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛⲧϣⲱⲧⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲟⲩⲕⲁⲡⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲁⲡⲛⲟⲥ ⲛϩⲣⲱ ⲛⲟϭ ⲁϥⲣⲕⲁⲕⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲡⲣⲏ ⲙⲛⲡⲁⲏⲣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙⲡⲕⲁⲡⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲧϣⲱⲧⲉ (Abyssos g12)
And he opened the well of the abyss. And the smoke of the well ascended, like the smoke of a great furnace. And the sun and the air were obscured by the smoke of the well. (Abyssos g12)
And locusts went forth from the smoke of the well into the earth. And power was given to them, like the power that the scorpions of the earth have.
4 ⲇ̅ ⲁⲩϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲧⲁⲕⲉⲡⲉⲭⲟⲣⲧⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲁⲩⲱ ϣⲏⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲉⲓ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲛⲧⲁⲩ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲧⲉⲥⲫⲣⲁⲅⲓⲥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉϫⲛⲧⲉⲩⲧⲉϩⲛⲉ
And it was commanded of them that they must not harm the plants of the earth, nor anything green, nor any tree, but only those men who do not have the Seal of God upon their foreheads.
5 ⲉ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲧⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧⲟⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲉⲃⲁⲥⲁⲛⲓⲍⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϯⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲃⲟⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲩⲧⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲟ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲕⲁⲥ ⲛⲉⲛⲟⲩⲱϩⲉ ⲉⲩϣⲁⲛϫⲉⲕⲉⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ
And it was given to them that they would not kill them, but that they would torture them for five months. And their torture was like the torture of a scorpion, when he strikes a man.
6 ⲋ̅ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛⲛⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲁϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲛⲥⲉⲧⲙϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲥⲉⲉⲡⲉⲑⲩⲙⲉⲓ ⲉⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲡⲱⲧ ⲛⲉϥⲕⲁⲁⲩ
And in those days, men will seek death and they will not find it. And they will desire to die, and death will flee from them.
7 ⲍ̅ ⲡⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲛⲉϣϫⲏⲩ ⲉϥⲟ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛϩⲉⲛϩⲧⲱⲱⲣ ⲉⲩⲥⲃⲧⲱⲧ ⲉⲡⲡⲟⲗⲩⲙⲟⲥ ⲉϣϫⲉⲉⲣⲉϩⲉⲛⲕⲗⲟⲙ ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲃ ϩⲓϫⲛⲛⲉⲩⲁⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲛⲉⲩϩⲟ ⲟ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛϩⲉⲛϩⲟ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ
And the likenesses of the locusts resembled horses prepared for battle. And upon their heads were something like crowns similar to gold. And their faces were like the faces of men.
And they had hair like the hair of women. And their teeth were like the teeth of lions.
9 ⲑ̅ ⲉⲩⲛϩⲉⲛϩⲱⲕ ϩⲓⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛϩⲉⲛϩⲱⲕ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲓⲡⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉϩⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲧⲛϩ ⲟ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲙⲡⲉϩⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϩⲉⲛϩⲁⲣⲙⲁ ⲙⲛϩⲉⲛϩⲧⲱⲱⲣ ⲉⲛⲁϣⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲡⲏⲧ ⲉⲡⲡⲟⲗⲩⲙⲟⲥ
And they had breastplates like iron breastplates. And the noise of their wings was like the noise of many running horses, rushing to battle.
10 ⲓ̅ ⲉⲟⲩⲛϩⲉⲛⲥⲁⲧ̅ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲟ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲛⲓⲟⲩⲱϩⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲉⲛⲉⲓⲃ ϩⲛⲛⲉⲩⲥⲁⲧ ⲧⲉⲩⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲙⲟⲩⲕϩ ⲛⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛϯⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲃⲟⲧ
And they had tails similar to scorpions. And there were stingers in their tails, and these had the power to harm men for five months.
11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁⲩ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲩⲣⲣⲟ ⲡⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲙⲙⲛⲧϩⲉⲃⲣⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲃⲁⲧⲧⲱⲛ ⲙⲙⲛⲧⲟⲩⲉⲉⲛⲓⲛ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲧⲁⲕⲟ (Abyssos g12)
And they had over them a king, the Angel of the abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Doom; in Greek, Destroyer; in Latin, Exterminator. (Abyssos g12)
One woe has gone out, but behold, there are still two woes approaching afterward.
13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ⲁⲡⲙⲉϩⲥⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲥⲁⲗⲡⲓⲍⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲓⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲩⲥⲙⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲛⲧⲁⲡ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲃ ⲉⲧⲙⲡⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
And the sixth Angel sounded the trumpet. And I heard a lone voice from the four horns of the golden altar, which is before the eyes of God,
14 ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲙⲉϩⲥⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲧⲥⲁⲗⲡⲓⲅⲝ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ϫⲉ ⲃⲱⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲙⲏⲣ ϩⲓϫⲙⲡⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲉⲓⲉⲣⲟ ⲡⲉⲩⲫⲣⲁⲧⲏⲥ
saying to the sixth Angel who had the trumpet: “Release the four Angels who were bound at the great river Euphrates.”
15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲃⲱⲗ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲥⲃⲧⲱⲧ ⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲙⲛⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛⲡⲉⲃⲟⲧ ⲙⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲛϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲛⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ
And the four Angels were released, who had been prepared for that hour, and day, and month, and year, in order to kill one third part of men.
And the number of the army of horsemen was two hundred million. For I heard their number.
17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲛⲉϩⲧⲱⲱⲣ ⲙⲛⲛⲉⲧⲁⲗⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲛϩⲉⲛϩⲱⲕ ϩⲓⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲩⲁⲛ ⲛⲕⲱϩⲧ ϩⲓϩⲩⲁⲕⲓⲛⲑⲓⲛⲟⲛ ϩⲓⲑⲏⲛ ⲉⲣⲉⲛⲁⲡⲉⲩⲉ ⲛⲛⲉϩⲧⲱⲱⲣ ⲟ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲟⲩⲓ ⲉϥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓⲟⲩⲕⲱϩⲧ ⲙⲛⲟⲩⲕⲁⲡⲛⲟⲥ ⲙⲛⲟⲩⲑⲏⲛ
And I also saw the horses in the vision. And those who were sitting upon them had breastplates of fire and hyacinth and sulphur. And the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions. And from their mouths proceeded fire and smoke and sulphur.
18 ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲧⲉⲓϣⲟⲙⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲗⲩⲅⲏ ⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓⲡⲟⲩⲛϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲛⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϩⲙⲡⲕⲱϩⲧ ⲙⲛⲡⲕⲁⲡⲛⲟⲥ ⲙⲛⲡⲉⲑⲏⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲣⲱⲟⲩ
And one third part of men were slain by these three afflictions: by the fire and by the smoke and by the sulphur, which proceeded from their mouths.
19 ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲛⲉϩⲧⲱⲱⲣ ϩⲛⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲙⲛⲛⲉⲩⲥⲁⲧ ⲛⲉⲩⲥⲁⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲩⲟ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛϩⲉⲛϩⲟϥ ⲉⲣⲉϩⲉⲛⲁⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲩϫⲓ ⲛϭⲟⲛⲥ
For the power of these horses is in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails resemble serpents, having heads; and it is with these that they cause harm.
20 ⲕ̅ ⲡⲕⲉⲥⲉⲡⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲡⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩ ϩⲛⲛⲉⲡⲗⲩⲅⲏ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲩϭⲓϫ ⲉⲧⲙⲧⲣⲉⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⲛⲉⲛⲇⲁⲓⲙⲟⲛⲓⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲩⲃ ⲙⲛⲛϩⲁⲧ ⲙⲛⲛϩⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲙⲛⲛⲱⲛⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲛϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲛⲛϣⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲛϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲏ ⲉⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ
And the rest of men, who were not slain by these afflictions, did not repent from the works of their hands, so that they would not worship demons, or idols of gold and silver and brass and stone and wood, which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk.
And they did not repent from their murders, nor from their drugs, nor from their fornication, nor from their thefts.
