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)

Then the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven upon the earth; and to him was given the key to the bottomless pit. (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 bottomless pit, and out of the pit there went up a smoke like the smoke of a great furnace. And the sun and the air grew dark, because of the smoke out of the pit. (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 out of the smoke came locusts upon the earth; they were given power like that of scorpions on the earth.

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.

They were told not to hurt the grass of the earth, nor any plant, nor any tree, but only those who have not the seal of God on 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.

Yet they were not permitted to kill them, but only to torture them for five months. Their torture was like the torture of a scorpion, when it stings 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.

In those days men will seek death, and will not find it; they will long to die, but death ever flees 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.

The appearance of the locusts was like horses equipped for battle. On their heads there was something like crowns of gold, and their faces were like men’s faces,

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 lion’s teeth,

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 something like breastplates of iron; and the noise of their wings was like the noise of chariots, of many horses rushing into battle.

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

And they have tails like scorpions, and stings, and their power to torture men five months was in their tails.

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)

They have a king over them, the angel of the bottomless pit. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon; in Greek he is called Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)

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

"The first woe has passed; and still there are two woes to follow."

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

Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet; and I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God,

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

one saying to the sixth angel that had the trumpet, "Loose the four angels which are 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.

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

The number of the hosts of the horsemen was twice ten thousand times ten thousand. 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 thus I saw the horses in the vision and their riders. They had breastplates of fire, "red as fire, dark blue as jacinth, and yellow as sulphur." The heads of the horses were like lions’ heads, and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.

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

By these three plagues a third of mankind were killed; by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which issued 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 the horses is in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails are like serpents with heads, and with them they work woe.

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 mankind who were not killed with these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands. They would not give up the worship of demons and of idols made 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 of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their immorality, nor of their thefts.
