< 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 )
AND the Fifth angel sounded. And I saw a star which fell from heaven unto the earth and there was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss. (Abyssos )
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 )
And he opened the pit of the abyss, and smoke ascended from the pit, as the smoke of a burning furnace; and the sun was darkened, and the air, from the smoke of the pit. (Abyssos )
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 from the smoke came forth locusts upon the earth. And there was given to them power such as scorpions have upon 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.
And it was told them, that they should not hurt the herbage of the earth, nor any green (thing), nor any tree, but only those men who had not the seal of Aloha 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 them, that they should not kill them, but torture them five months. And their torture was as the torture of a scorpion when he striketh 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 shall seek death, and shall not find; and shall 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 likeness of those locusts (was this): they resemble the appearance of horses prepared for battle. And upon their heads (was) a crown of the likeness of gold; and their faces (were) as the faces of men.
8 They had hair like that of women, and teeth like those of lions.
And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as 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 breast-plates as breast-plates of iron, and the sound of their wings was as the sound of the chariots of many horses running to battle.
10 They had tails with stingers like scorpions, which had the power to injure people for five months.
And they had tails like those of scorpions, and stings; and in their tails they have power to hurt men 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 )
And they had a king over them, the angel of the abyss, and his name in Hebrew is Abadon; but in Javanith his name is Apolon. (Abyssos )
12 The first woe has passed. Behold, two woes are still to follow.
One woe hath gone. Behold, two woes yet come after it.
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. And I heard one voice from the horns of the altar of gold which was before Aloha,
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 which are bound in the great river Phraat.
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, they who were prepared for an hour, and for a day, and for a month, and for a year, to kill the third (part) of men.
16 And the number of mounted troops was two hundred million; I heard their number.
And the number of the host of the horsemen was two myriads of myriads. I heard the number of them.
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 as I beheld those horses in the vision, and those who sat upon them, (I saw that) they had breast-plates of fire, and jacinth, and sulphur; and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions, and from their mouths went out 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 by these three plagues were the third of men killed; from the fire, and from the smoke, and from the sulphur which went out of 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 mouth and in their tails: for their tails were like serpents which had heads, and with them they wound.
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 killed by those plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should 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;
21 Furthermore, they did not repent of their murder, sorcery, sexual immorality, and theft.
nor repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornications, nor of their robberies.
