Zjevení Janovo 9
1 Tu se ozvala polnice pátého anděla. Z nebe spadla na zem jiná hvězda. Dostala klíč od propasti, (Abyssos g12)
And the fifth angel sounded; and I saw a star having fallen from the heaven to the earth; and the key of the pit of the abyss was given to him. (Abyssos g12)
2 otevřela její jícen a z propasti se vyvalil dým jako z velké pece, zakryl slunce a za-mořil vzduch. (Abyssos g12)
And he opened the pit of the abyss, and smoke came out of the pit, like the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened from the smoke of the pit. (Abyssos g12)
3 Z dýmu se pak vyrojila mračna hmyzu s jedovatými žihadly. Byly to kobylky, jež však nenapadaly rostliny, ale lidi, kteří neměli Boží znamení na čele.
And locusts came out of the smoke into the earth: and power was given unto them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
And it was said to them that they shall not hurt the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree; only the men who have not the seal of God upon their foreheads.
5 Nesměly je usmrcovat, ale mohly je pět měsíců trápit. Bodání toho hmyzu bude tak bolestivé, že mnozí se budou chtít sami zabít, avšak nepodaří se jim to, budou toužit po smrti, ale marně.
And it was given to them that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he may strike a man.
And in those days men will seek death, and will not find it; and they will desire to die, and death flies from them.
7 Zblízka ty kobylky vypadaly jako koně vystrojení do boje. Jejich hlavy ozdobené zlatými korunami měly lidské tváře,
And the shapes of the locusts are like horses having been made ready for war; and upon their heads as it were crowns like gold, and their faces are like the faces of men.
8 hřívy vlající jako rozpuštěné ženské vlasy, zuby jako lev.
And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
9 Hruď měly jako okovanou pancířem a zvuk jejich křídel připomínal rachot útočící vozby.
And they had breastplates as breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses rushing to war.
10 Ocasy měly jako štíři a v nich žihadla, která po pět měsíců trápila lidi.
And they have tails like scorpions, and stings: and their power is in their tails, to hurt men five months:
and they have over them a king, the angel of the bottomless pit, to him the name is Abaddon in Hebrew, and in Greek he has the name Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)
12 Zdálo se, že první hrůza končí, ale už se valí další.
One Woe is past; behold two Woes come yet after these things.
13 Zatroubil šestý anděl a od čtyř rohů Božího oltáře se ozval hlas.
And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard one voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
14 Poručil šestému trubači: „Rozvaž pouta čtyř démonů od velké řeky Eufratu!“
saying to the sixth angel the one having the trumpet, Loose the four angels which have been bound at the great river Euphrates.
15 Tak byli osvobozeni čtyři spoutaní démoni, kteří čekali na svou hodinu, aby vyhladili třetinu lidstva.
And the four angels were loosed, who were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, that they should slay the third part of the men.
16 Vyrazili s jízdou v počtu dvě stě miliónů jezdců (to číslo mi bylo přesně sděleno):
And the number of the armies of the cavalry was two myriads of myriads: I heard the number of them.
17 Jezdci měli na sobě ohnivě rudé, hyacintově modré a sírově žluté pancíře. Hlavy jejich koní byly jako hlavy lvů a z tlam jim šlehal oheň, vycházel kouř a čpěla síra. Právě tím – ohněm, kouřem a sírou – zabíjeli.
And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those sitting on them, having breastplates as of fire, and of hyacinth, and of brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as of the heads of lions; and out of their mouths proceeds fire and smoke and brimstone.
And from these three plagues the third of the men were slain, from the fire, and from the smoke, and from the brimstone, coming out of their mouth.
19 Vražedná moc těch koní nevycházela jenom z jejich tlam, ale i z ocasů; měli totiž místo nich jedovaté hady a ti lidi kousali.
For the power of the horses is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails are like serpents, having heads, and with them they do hurt.
20 Avšak lidé, kteří přežili tyto katastrofy, se přesto nezměnili a nečinili pokání. Boha nectili, ale dál uctívali svoje zlaté, stříbrné, měděné, kamenné nebo dokonce jen dřevěné modly, slepé, hluché a bezmocné.
And the rest of the men who were not slain by these plagues did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and wood; which are neither able to see, nor to hear, nor to walk:
21 Ne, lidé se vůbec nezměnili, nepřestali se vraždit neustoupili od svých pověr, cizoložství a krádeží.
and they did not repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
