ܓܠܝܢܐ 9

1 ܘܕܚܡܫܐ ܙܥܩ ܘܚܙܝܬ ܟܘܟܒܐ ܕܢܦܠ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܩܠܝܕܐ ܕܒܐܪܘܗܝ ܕܬܗܘܡܐ (Abyssos g12)

And at the sounding of the fifth angel I saw a star falling from heaven to the earth: and there was given to him the key of the great deep. (Abyssos g12)

2 ܘܤܠܩ ܬܢܢܐ ܡܢ ܒܐܪܐ ܐܝܟ ܬܢܢܐ ܕܐܬܘܢܐ ܪܒܐ ܕܡܫܬܓܪ ܘܚܫܟ ܫܡܫܐ ܘܐܐܪ ܡܢ ܬܢܢܐ ܕܒܐܪܐ (Abyssos g12)

And he made the great deep open and a smoke went up from it, like the smoke of a great oven; and the sun and the air were made dark because of the smoke. (Abyssos g12)

3 ܘܡܢ ܬܢܢܐ ܢܦܩܘ ܩܡܨܐ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܥܩܪܒܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ

And from the smoke locusts came out on the earth; and power was given them, like the power of scorpions.

4 ܘܐܬܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܗܪܘܢ ܠܥܤܒܗ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܘܠܟܠ ܝܘܪܩ ܐܦܠܐ ܠܐܝܠܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܚܬܡܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܝܬ ܥܝܢܝܗܘܢ

And they were ordered to do no damage to the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only to such men as have not the mark of God on their brows.

5 ܘܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܩܛܠܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܢܫܬܢܩܘܢ ܝܪܚܐ ܚܡܫܐ ܘܬܫܢܝܩܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܬܫܢܝܩܐ ܕܥܩܪܒܐ ܡܐ ܕܢܦܠܐ ܥܠ ܐܢܫ

And orders were given them not to put them to death, but to give them great pain for five months: and their pain was as the pain from the wound of a scorpion.

6 ܘܒܝܘܡܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܢܒܥܘܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܠܡܘܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܫܟܚܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܢܬܪܓܪܓܘܢ ܠܡܡܬ ܘܢܥܪܘܩ ܡܘܬܐ ܡܢܗܘܢ

And in those days men will be hoping for death, and it will not come to them; and they will have a great desire for death, and death will go in flight from them.

7 ܘܕܡܘܬܐ ܕܩܡܨܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܕܪܟܫܐ ܕܡܛܝܒܝܢ ܠܩܪܒܐ ܘܥܠ ܪܫܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܟܠܝܠܐ ܕܕܡܘܬܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܘܐܦܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܐܦܐ ܕܐܢܫܐ

And the forms of the locusts were like horses made ready for war; and on their heads they had crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.

8 ܘܤܥܪܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܤܥܪܐ ܕܢܫܐ ܘܫܢܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܪܝܘܬܐ

And they had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.

9 ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܪܝܢܐ ܐܝܟ ܫܪܝܢܐ ܕܦܪܙܠܐ ܘܩܠܐ ܕܓܦܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܩܠܐ ܕܡܪܟܒܬܐ ܕܪܟܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܪܗܛܝܢ ܠܩܪܒܐ

And they had breastplates like iron, and the sound of their wings was as the sound of carriages, like an army of horses rushing to the fight.

10 ܘܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܘܢܒܝܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܕܥܩܪܒܐ ܘܥܘܩܤܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܕܘܢܒܝܬܗܘܢ ܘܫܘܠܛܢܗܘܢ ܠܡܗܪܘ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܝܪܚܐ ܚܡܫܐ

And they have pointed tails like scorpions; and in their tails is their power to give men wounds for five months.

11 ܘܐܝܬ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܡܠܟܐ ܡܠܐܟܗ ܕܬܗܘܡܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܥܒܪܐܝܬ ܥܒܕܘ ܘܐܪܡܐܝܬ ܫܡܐ ܠܗ ܐܝܬ ܫܪܐ (Abyssos g12)

They have over them as king the angel of the great deep: his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek language Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)

12 ܘܝ ܚܕ ܐܙܠ ܗܐ ܬܘܒ ܐܬܝܢ ܬܪܝܢ ܘܝ

The first Trouble is past: see, there are still two Troubles to come.

13 ܒܬܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܫܬܐ ܙܥܩ ܘܫܡܥܬ ܩܠܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܐܪܒܥ ܩܪܢܬܗ ܕܡܕܒܚܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܕܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ

And at the sounding of the sixth angel a voice came to my ears from the horns of the gold altar which is before God,

14 ܕܐܡܪ ܠܡܠܐܟܐ ܫܬܝܬܝܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܫܝܦܘܪܐ ܫܪܝ ܠܐܪܒܥܐ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܐܤܝܪܝܢ ܥܠ ܢܗܪܐ ܪܒܐ ܦܪܬ

Saying to the sixth angel who had the horn, Make free the four angels who are chained at the great river Euphrates.

15 ܘܐܫܬܪܝܘ ܐܪܒܥܐ ܡܠܐܟܝܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܛܝܒܝܢ ܠܫܥܬܐ ܘܠܝܘܡܐ ܘܠܝܪܚܐ ܘܠܫܢܬܐ ܕܢܩܛܠܘܢ ܬܘܠܬܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ

And the four angels were made free, who were ready for the hour and day and month and year, that they might put to death a third part of men.

16 ܘܡܢܝܢܐ ܕܚܝܠܘܬܐ ܕܦܪܫܐ ܬܪܬܝܢ ܪܒܘ ܪܒܘܢ ܫܡܥܬ ܡܢܝܢܗܘܢ

And the number of the armies of the horsemen was twice ten thousand times ten thousand: the number of them came to my ears.

17 ܘܗܟܢܐ ܚܙܝܬ ܪܟܫܐ ܒܚܙܘܐ ܘܠܕܝܬܒܝܢ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܬ ܫܪܝܢܐ ܕܢܘܪܐ ܘܩܪܟܕܢܐ ܕܟܒܪܝܬܐ ܘܩܪܩܦܬܐ ܕܪܟܫܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܩܪܩܦܬܐ ܕܐܪܝܘܬܐ ܘܡܢ ܦܘܡܗܘܢ ܢܦܩܐ ܢܘܪܐ ܘܟܒܪܝܬܐ ܘܬܢܢܐ

And so I saw the horses in the vision, and those who were seated on them, having breastplates of fire and glass and of burning stone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire and smoke and a smell of burning.

18 ܘܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܬܠܬ ܡܚܘܢ ܐܬܩܛܠܘ ܬܘܠܬܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܘܡܢ ܢܘܪܐ ܘܡܢ ܟܒܪܝܬܐ ܘܡܢ ܬܢܢܐ ܕܢܦܩ ܡܢ ܦܘܡܗܘܢ

By these evils a third part of men was put to death, by the fire, and the smoke, and the burning smell which came out of their mouths.

19 ܡܛܠ ܕܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܕܪܟܫܐ ܒܦܘܡܗܘܢ ܘܐܦ ܒܕܘܢܒܝܬܗܘܢ

For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails: because their tails are like snakes, and have heads, and with them they give wounds.

20 ܘܫܪܟܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܕܠܐ ܐܬܩܛܠܘ ܒܡܚܘܬܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܬܒܘ ܡܢ ܥܒܕ ܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܤܓܕܘܢ ܠܕܝܘܐ ܘܠܦܬܟܪܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܘܕܤܐܡܐ ܘܕܢܚܫܐ ܘܕܩܝܤܐ ܘܕܟܐܦܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܠܡܚܙܐ ܘܠܐ ܠܡܫܡܥ ܡܨܝܢ ܐܘ ܠܡܗܠܟܘ

And the rest of the people, who were not put to death by these evils, were not turned from the works of their hands, but went on giving worship to evil spirits, and images of gold and silver and brass and stone and wood which have no power of seeing or hearing or walking:

21 ܘܠܐ ܬܒܘ ܡܢ ܩܛܠܝܗܘܢ ܘܡܢ ܚܪܫܝܗܘܢ ܘܡܢ ܙܢܝܘܬܗܘܢ

And they had no regret for putting men to death, or for their use of secret arts, or for the evil desires of the flesh, or for taking the property of others.
