Revelation 9

9 ¹Di fifth angel blow im trumpet, and I see one star wey don fall from heaven come for ground, and dem give am di key of di shaft wey dey go down inside di abyss. ²E open di shaft of di abyss, and smoke come dey rise like smoke from big furnace; di smoke from di shaft make di sun and di air come dark. ³And locust come comot from di smoke enter di ground, and dem give dem power like di power wey scorpion for ground get. ⁴Dem tell dem say make dem no spoil di grass for ground, or any green plant, or tree—na only di people wey no get di seal of our Papa for dem forehead. ^a a v4 Di seal dey show say person na our Papa own — na di same way wey dem seal im servants wey dem tok about for chapter 7. ⁵Dem no gree make dem kill di people, but say make dem torment dem for five months—torment wey be like wen scorpion sting person. ⁶For dem days, people go dey find death but dem no go see am, dem go wish say make dem die, but death go run comot from dem.

⁷Di locust dem be like horse wey ready for war; for dem head na something like crown of gold dey, and dem face be like human being face. ⁸Dem get hair like woman hair, and dem teeth be like lion teeth. ⁹Dem get breastplate like iron, and di sound of dem wings be like plenty horse and chariot wey dey rush go war. ¹⁰Dem tail be like scorpion and get sting; na inside dem tail di power dey to spoil people for five months. ¹¹Dem king na di angel of di abyss—im name na Destruction for Hebrew, and Apollyon for Greek. ^b b v11 Di two names mean "Destroyer."

¹²Di first woe don pass; look, two more woe still dey come after dis tins.

¹³Den di sixth angel blow im trumpet, and I hear one voice wey comot from di four horns of di gold altar wey dey before our Papa, ¹⁴e tell di sixth angel wey hold di trumpet say, "Loose di four angel wey dem tie for di big river Euphrates."

¹⁵So dem release di four angel wey dem don ready for dat very hour, day, month, and year, so dem go kill one out of every three person for di whole earth. ¹⁶Di number of di soldier wey dey ride horse na 200 million; I hear dem number. ¹⁷Na so I see di horse dem for di vision and di people wey dey ride dem: dem breastplate colour be like fire, and sapphire, and sulfur; di horse head be like lion head, and fire, smoke, and sulfur dey comot from dem mouth. ¹⁸Dis three plague—di fire, di smoke, and di sulfur wey dey comot from dem mouth—kill one out of every three person. ¹⁹Di power of di horse dey for dem mouth and for dem tail—dem tail be like snake wey get head, and na wit dem dem dey spoil people.

²⁰Di rest of di people wey dis plague no kill still refuse to turn from wetin dem hand don make—dem still dey worship demon and idol of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood, wey no fit see, no fit hear, no fit waka. ²¹And dem no repent from di people wey dem don kill, or dem juju, or dem sexual immorality, or dem stealing.
