Otkrivenje 9
1 Peti anđeo zatrubi. I vidjeh: zvijezda je s neba na zemlju pala i dani su joj ključi zjala Bezdanova. (Abyssos g12)
Then the fifth angel blew; and I saw a star that had fallen on the earth from the heavens, and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. (Abyssos g12)
2 Ona otvori zjalo Bezdanovo i vinu se iz zjala dim kao dim iz peći goleme te pomrča sunce i zrak od dima iz zjala. (Abyssos g12)
He opened the bottomless pit, and from the pit rose a smoke like the smoke of a great furnace. The sun and the air grew dark because of the smoke from the pit. (Abyssos g12)
3 Iz dima pak iziđoše na zemlju skakavci i dana im je moć kakvu imaju štipavci zemaljski.
Out of the smoke locusts descended on the earth, and they received the same power as that possessed by scorpions.
4 I zapovjeđeno im je da ne ude travi zemaljskoj nit ikojem zelenilu nit ikojem stablu, nego samo ljudima koji nemaju pečata Božjega na čelu.
They were told not to harm the grass, or any plant, or any tree, but only those who have not the seal of God on their foreheads.
5 I dano im je ne da ih ubijaju, nego samo da ih muče pet mjeseci, a muka njihova da bude kao muka od uboda štipavaca.
Yet they were not allowed to kill them, but it was ordered that those men should be tortured for five months. Their torture was like the torture caused by a scorpion when it stings a person.
6 U one će dane ljudi iskati smrt, ali je neće naći; poželjet će umrijeti, ali smrt će bježati od njih.
In those days people will seek Death and will not find it; They will long to die, but Death flees from them.
7 Skakavci bijahu izgledom nalik na konje za boj spremne. Na glavama im kao neki zlatni vijenci, lica im kao u ljudi,
In appearance the locusts were like horses equipped for battle. On their heads there were what appeared to be crowns that shone like gold, their faces resembled human faces,
8 kose kao u žena, a zubi kao u lavova.
and they had hair like the hair of a woman, their teeth were like lions’ teeth,
9 Imahu oklope kao od željeza, a šum krila njihovih kao štropot bojnih kola s mnogo konja što u boj jure.
and they had what seemed to be iron breastplates, while the noise of their wings was like the noise of chariots drawn by many horses, galloping into battle.
10 Repovi im kao u štipavaca, sa žalcima, a u repovima im moć da ude ljudima pet mjeseci.
They have tails like scorpions, and stings, and in their tails lies their power to harm people for five months.
11 Nad njima je kralj, anđeo Bezdana, hebrejski mu ime Abadon, grčki Apolion - Upropastitelj. (Abyssos g12)
They have as their king the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name, in Hebrew, is “Abaddon,” while, in Greek, his name is “Apollyon” (the Destroyer). (Abyssos g12)
12 Prvi Jao prođe. Evo, za njim dolaze još dva druga Jao.
The first Woe has passed; and still there are two Woes to follow!
13 Šesti anđeo zatrubi. I začujem neki glas iz rogova zlatnoga žrtvenika pred Bogom.
Then the sixth angel blew; and I heard a voice proceeding from the corners of the golden altar that stood before God.
14 Govoraše šestom anđelu koji je držao trublju: “Odriješi ona četiri anđela svezana na Rijeci velikoj, Eufratu.”
It spoke to the sixth angel – the angel with the trumpet – and said “Let loose the four angels that are in chains at the great river Euphrates.”
15 I odriješena bijahu četiri anđela, spremna za taj čas i dan i mjesec i godinu, da pobiju trećinu ljudi.
Then the four angels, that were held in readiness for that hour and day and month and year, were let loose, to destroy a third of mankind.
16 A broj četa konjaničkih, kako sam čuo, bijaše dvije mirijade mirijada.
The number of the hosts of cavalry was ten thousand times ten thousand, twice told; I heard their number.
17 Ovako u viđenju vidjeh konje i njihove jahače: imahu oklope ognjene, plavetne i sumporne boje; glave im kao u lavova, iz usta im sukljao oganj, dim i sumpor.
And this is what the horses and their riders appeared to be like in my vision: They had breastplates of fire, blood-red and sulphurous, and the heads of the horses were like lions’ heads, while out of their mouths issue fire, and smoke, and sulphur.
18 Od ovih triju zala poginu trećina ljudi - od ognja, dima i sumpora što sukljahu konjima iz usta.
Through these three curses a third of humanity perished – because of the fire, and the smoke, and the sulphur that issued from their mouths;
19 Doista, snaga je ovim konjima u ustima i repovima: repovi im kao u zmija, s glavama kojima ude.
for the power of the horses lies in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails are like snakes, with heads, and it is with them that they do harm.
20 Ipak, preostali ljudi, što ne poginuše od tih zala, ne obratiše se od djela ruku svojih, da se više ne klanjaju zlodusima i kumirima - ni zlatnima, ni srebrnima, ni mjedenima, ni kamenima ni drvenima koji niti vide niti čuju nit hodaju -
But those who were left of humanity, who had not perished through these curses, did not repent and turn away from what their own hands had made; they would not abandon the worship of demons, and of idols made of gold or silver or brass or stone or wood, which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk;
21 i ne obratiše se od svojih ubojstava ni od svojih čaranja ni od svoga bluda niti od svojih krađa.
and they did not repent of their murders, or their sorceries, or their licentiousness, or their thefts.
