Revelation 9

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

And the fifth Angel sounded the trumpet. And I saw upon the earth, a star that had fallen from heaven, and the key to the well of the abyss was given to him. (Abyssos g12)

2 The star opened the pit of the Abyss, and smoke rose out of it like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the pit. (Abyssos g12)

And he opened the well of the abyss. And the smoke of the well ascended, like the smoke of a great furnace. And the sun and the air were obscured by the smoke of the well. (Abyssos g12)

3 And out of the smoke, locusts descended on the earth, and they were given power like that of the scorpions of the earth.

And locusts went forth from the smoke of the well into the earth. And power was given to them, like the power that the scorpions of the earth have.

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

And it was commanded of them that they must not harm the plants of the earth, nor anything green, nor any tree, but only those men who do not have the Seal of God upon their foreheads.

5 The locusts were not given power to kill them, but only to torment them for five months, and their torment was like the stinging of a scorpion.

And it was given to them that they would not kill them, but that they would torture them for five months. And their torture was like the torture of a scorpion, when he strikes a man.

6 In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, but death will escape them.

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 And the locusts looked like horses prepared for battle, with something like crowns of gold on their heads, and faces like the faces of men.

And the likenesses of the locusts resembled horses prepared for battle. And upon their heads were something like crowns similar to gold. And their faces were like the faces of men.

8 They had hair like that of women, and teeth like those of lions.

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

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

And they had breastplates like iron breastplates. And the noise of their wings was like the noise of many running horses, rushing to battle.

10 They had tails with stingers like scorpions, which had the power to injure people for five months.

And they had tails similar to scorpions. And there were stingers in their tails, and these had the power to harm men for five months.

11 They were ruled by a king, the angel of the Abyss. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek it is Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)

And they had over them a king, the Angel of the abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Doom; in Greek, Destroyer; in Latin, Exterminator. (Abyssos g12)

12 The first woe has passed. Behold, two woes are still to follow.

One woe has gone out, but behold, there are still two woes approaching afterward.

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

And the sixth Angel sounded the trumpet. And I heard a lone voice from the four horns of the golden altar, which is before the eyes of God,

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

saying to the sixth Angel who had the trumpet: “Release the four Angels who were bound at the great river Euphrates.”

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

And the four Angels were released, who had been prepared for that hour, and day, and month, and year, in order to kill one third part of men.

16 And the number of mounted troops was two hundred million; I heard their number.

And the number of the army of horsemen was two hundred million. For I heard their number.

17 Now the horses and riders in my vision looked like this: The riders had breastplates the colors of fire, sapphire, and sulfur. The heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths proceeded fire, smoke, and sulfur.

And I also saw the horses in the vision. And those who were sitting upon them had breastplates of fire and hyacinth and sulphur. And the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions. And from their mouths proceeded fire and smoke and sulphur.

18 A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke, and sulfur that proceeded from their mouths.

And one third part of men were slain by these three afflictions: by the fire and by the smoke and by the sulphur, which proceeded from their mouths.

19 For the power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails; indeed, their tails were like snakes, having heads with which to inflict harm.

For the power of these horses is in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails resemble serpents, having heads; and it is with these that they cause harm.

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

And the rest of men, who were not slain by these afflictions, did not repent from the works of their hands, so that they would not worship demons, or idols of gold and silver and brass and stone and wood, which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk.

21 Furthermore, they did not repent of their murder, sorcery, sexual immorality, and theft.

And they did not repent from their murders, nor from their drugs, nor from their fornication, nor from their thefts.
