Revelation 9

1 And the fifth angel sounded; and I saw a star fall from heaven to the earth; and there was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss; (Abyssos g12)

The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to earth, and the star was given the key to the pit of the abyss. (Abyssos g12)

2 and he opened the pit of the abyss; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, like the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke of the pit. (Abyssos g12)

He opened the pit of the abyss, and from the pit rose smoke like the smoke of a burning furnace. The sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the pit. (Abyssos g12)

3 And out of the smoke there came locusts upon the earth; and power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

Then out of the smoke locusts descended upon the earth, and they were given power like that of the scorpions of the earth.

4 And they were commanded not to hurt the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but the men who have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green thing or any tree, but only those who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.

5 And they were permitted, not to kill them, but to torment them five months; and the torment inflicted by them was like the torment inflicted by a scorpion, when he stings a man.

They were permitted to torment them for five months, but not to kill them, and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings someone.

6 And in those days men will seek for death, and shall not find it; and they will desire to die, and death shall flee from them.

In those days people will seek death but will certainly not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them.

7 And the shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared for battle; and on their heads were, as it were, crowns of gold; and their faces were like the faces of men.

The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle, and on their heads they wore something like golden crowns; their faces were like human faces.

8 And they had hair like the hair of women; and their teeth were like the teeth of lions.

They had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were like the teeth of lions.

9 And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.

They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of many horses and chariots rushing into battle.

10 And they had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails; and they had power to hurt men five months.

They have tails and stingers like scorpions, and in their tails they have the power to harm people for five months.

11 And they had over them a king, the angel of the abyss: his name, in Hebrew, is Abaddon, and, in Greek, he has the name Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)

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

12 The first woe is past: behold, there are coming, after this, two woes more.

The first woe has passed. Behold, two woes are still to come after this.

13 And the sixth angel sounded: and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar that is before God,

Then the sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a single voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God

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

saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.”

15 And the four angels were loosed, who were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, to slay the third part of men.

So the four angels who were prepared for this hour, day, month, and year were released to kill a third of mankind.

16 And the number of the armies of horsemen was two myriads of myriads: I heard the number of them.

The number of the troops on horse was ten thousand times ten thousand; I heard their number.

17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those who sat on them; they had breastplates, fiery, and hyacinthine, and sulphurous: and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.

Now this is what the horses and their riders looked like in my vision: The riders had breastplates that were fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow. The heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and sulfur.

18 By these three plagues was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and the smoke, and the brimstone that issued out of their mouths.

By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed—by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur that came out of the horses' mouths.

19 For their power was in their mouth and in their tails; for their tails were like serpents, and had heads, and with them they do injury.

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

20 And the rest of men that were not killed by these plagues, repented not of the works of their hands, that they might not worship demons, and idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood, which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk;

The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent from the works of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood, which cannot see, hear, or walk.

21 and they repented not of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their lewdness, nor of their thefts.

Nor did they repent of their murders, sorceries, fornication, or thefts.
