啟示錄 9
And the fifth messenger sounded the trumpet, and I saw a star having fallen to the earth out of Heaven, and there was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss, (Abyssos g12)
and [he] opened the pit of the abyss, and there came up a smoke out of the pit as smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened from the smoke of the pit. (Abyssos g12)
3 遂有蝗蟲從煙裏，來到地上；又賦給了牠們，好似地上的蠍子具有的權柄，
And out of the smoke came forth locusts to the earth, and there was given to them authority, as scorpions of the earth have authority,
4 且吩咐牠們不可傷害地上的草：凡青物，凡樹木都不可傷害，只可傷害那些在額上沒有天主印號的人；
and it was said to them that they may not injure the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but only the men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads,
5 並且吩咐蝗蟲不可殺死他們，但要使他們受痛苦五個月，他們所受的痛苦，就如人被蠍子螫著時所受的痛苦。
and it was given to them that they may not kill them, but that they may be tormented five months, and their torment—as the torment of a scorpion—when it may strike a man;
6 在那日期內，人求死而不得；渴望死，死卻避開他們。
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 蝗蟲的形狀彷彿準備上陣的戰馬，牠們的頭上好似有像黃金的榮冠，面貌有如人的面貌；
And the likenesses of the locusts—like to horses made ready to battle, and on their heads [something] as garlands like gold, and their faces as faces of men,
8 牠們的頭髮好似女人的頭髮，牙好似獅子的牙；
and they had hair as hair of women, and their teeth were as [those] of lions,
9 牠們的胸甲有如鐵甲，牠們翅膀的響聲，有如許多馬車奔馳上陣的響聲；
and they had breastplates as breastplates of iron, and the noise of their wings—as the noise of chariots of many horses running to battle;
10 牠們有好似蠍子的尾和刺；牠們的尾能傷害世人，五個月之久。
and they have tails like to scorpions, and stings were in their tails; and their authority [is] to injure men five months;
and they have over them a king—the messenger of the abyss—a name [is] to him in Hebrew, Abaddon, and in the Greek he has a name, Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)
12 第一種災禍過去了，看，還有兩種災禍隨後而來。
The first woe went forth, behold, there yet come two woes after these things.
13 第六位天使一吹了號角，我聽見有一種聲音，由天主前的金祭壇四角發出，
And the sixth messenger sounded the trumpet, and I heard a voice out of the four horns of the altar of gold that is before God,
14 向那持有號角的第六位天使說：「放開那在幼發拉的大河所捆著的四位天使罷！」
saying to the sixth messenger who had the trumpet, “Loose the four messengers who are bound at the great river Euphrates”;
15 於是那四位天使被放開了；他們已準備於某年、某月、某日、某時，把世人殺死三分之一。
and the four messengers were loosed, who have been made ready for the hour, and day, and month, and year, that they may kill the third of mankind;
16 那馬隊的數目共有兩萬萬；我也聽見了他們的這個數目。
and the number of the forces of the horsemen—twice ten thousand ten thousands, and I heard the number of them.
17 我在異像中看見的馬和騎馬的是這樣：他們穿著火紅、紫青和硫磺色的鎧甲；馬頭像獅子頭，從牠們的口中射出火、煙和硫磺。
And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those sitting on them, having breastplates of fire, and jacinth, and brimstone; and the heads of the horses [are] as heads of lions, and out of their mouths proceed fire, and smoke, and brimstone;
18 由於從牠們口中所射出的火、煙和硫磺這三種災害，世人被殺死了三分之一。
by these three plagues the third of mankind was killed, from the fire, and from the smoke, and from the brimstone, that is proceeding out of their mouths,
19 馬的能力就在牠們的口和牠們的尾上；牠們的尾相似蛇，並且有害人的頭。
for the power of the horses are in their mouth, and in their tails, for their tails [are] like serpents, having heads, and they injure with them.
20 可是，其餘沒有被災害殺死的人，仍然沒有悔改，離開他們手所作的，仍舊去崇拜邪魔和那看不見，聽不見，走不動的金、銀、銅、石、木神像；
And the rest of mankind, who were not killed in these plagues, neither converted from the works of their hands, that they may not worship the demons, and idols, those of gold, and those of silver, and those of brass, and those of stone, and those of wood, that are neither able to see, nor to hear, nor to walk,
21 他們也沒有悔改，放棄各種兇殺、邪術、姦淫和偷竊。
and they did not convert from their murders, nor from their sorceries, nor from their whoredoms, nor from their thefts.
