Revelation 9

1 The fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from the sky which had fallen to the earth. The key to the pit of the Abyss (Abyssos g12) was given to him.

And the fifth angel sounded [his] trumpet: and I saw a star out of the heaven fallen to the earth; and there was given to it the key of the pit of the abyss. (Abyssos g12)

2 He opened the pit of the Abyss (Abyssos g12), and smoke went up out of the pit, like the smoke from a burning furnace. The sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke from the pit.

And it opened the pit of the abyss; and there went up smoke out of the pit as [the] smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke of the pit. (Abyssos g12)

3 Then out of the smoke came locusts on the earth, and power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

And out of the smoke came forth locusts on the earth, and power was given to them as the scorpions of the earth have power;

4 They were told that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only those people who do not have God’s seal on their foreheads.

and it was said to them, that they should not injure the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but the men who have not the seal of God on their foreheads:

5 They were given power, not to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a person.

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 it strikes a man.

6 In those days people will seek death, and will in no way find it. They will desire to die, and death will flee from them.

And in those days shall men seek death, and shall in no way find it; and shall desire to die, and death flees from them.

7 The shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared for war. On their heads were something like golden crowns, and their faces were like people’s faces.

And the likenesses of the locusts [were] like to horses prepared for war; and upon their heads as crowns like gold, and their faces as faces of men;

8 They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like those of lions.

and they had hair as women's hair, and their teeth were as of lions,

9 They had breastplates like breastplates of iron. The sound of their wings was like the sound of many chariots and horses rushing to war.

and they had breastplates as breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings [was] as the sound of chariots of many horses running to war;

10 They have tails like those of scorpions, with stingers. In their tails they have power to harm men for five months.

and they have tails like scorpions, and stings; and their power [was] in their tails to hurt men five months.

11 They have over them as king the angel of the Abyss (Abyssos g12). His name in Hebrew is "Abaddon", and in Greek, he has the name "Apollyon".

They have a king over them, the angel of the abyss: his name in Hebrew, Abaddon, and in Greek he has [for] name Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)

12 The first woe is past. Behold, there are still two woes coming after this.

The first woe has passed. Behold, there come yet two woes after these things.

13 The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God,

And the sixth angel sounded [his] trumpet: and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which [is] before God,

14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates!”

saying to the sixth angel that had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound at the great river Euphrates.

15 The four angels were freed who had been prepared for that hour and day and month and year, so that they might kill one third of mankind.

And the four angels were loosed, who are prepared for the hour and day and month and year, that they might slay the third part of men;

16 The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million. I heard the number of them.

and the number of the hosts of horse [was] twice ten thousand times ten thousand. I heard their number.

17 Thus I saw the horses in the vision and those who sat on them, having breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the horses’ heads resembled lions’ heads. Out of their mouths proceed fire, smoke, and sulfur.

And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those that sat upon them, having breastplates of fire and jacinth and brimstone; and the heads of the horses [were] as heads of lions, and out of their mouths goes out fire and smoke and brimstone.

18 By these three plagues, one third of mankind was killed: by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur, which proceeded out of their mouths.

By these three plagues were the third part of men killed, by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which goes out of their mouths.

19 For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails are like serpents, and have heads; and with them they harm.

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 injure.

20 The rest of mankind, who were not killed with these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they would not worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood, which cannot see, hear, or walk.

And the rest of men who were not killed with these plagues repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and the golden and silver and brazen and stone and wooden idols, which can neither see nor hear nor walk.

21 They did not repent of their murders, their sorceries, their sexual immorality, or their thefts.

And they repented not of their murders, nor of their witchcrafts, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
