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)
tataḥ paraṁ saptamadūtena tūryyāṁ vāditāyāṁ gaganāt pṛthivyāṁ nipatita ekastārako mayā dṛṣṭaḥ, tasmai rasātalakūpasya kuñjikādāyi| (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)
tena rasātalakūpe mukte mahāgnikuṇḍasya dhūma iva dhūmastasmāt kūpād udgataḥ| tasmāt kūpadhūmāt sūryyākāśau timirāvṛtau| (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.
tasmād dhūmāt pataṅgeṣu pṛthivyāṁ nirgateṣu naralokasthavṛścikavat balaṁ tebhyo'dāyi|
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.
aparaṁ pṛthivyāstṛṇāni haridvarṇaśākādayo vṛkṣāśca tai rna siṁhitavyāḥ kintu yeṣāṁ bhāleṣvīśvarasya mudrāyā aṅko nāsti kevalaṁ te mānavāstai rhiṁsitavyā idaṁ ta ādiṣṭāḥ|
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.
parantu teṣāṁ badhāya nahi kevalaṁ pañca māsān yāvat yātanādānāya tebhyaḥ sāmarthyamadāyi| vṛścikena daṣṭasya mānavasya yādṛśī yātanā jāyate tairapi tādṛśī yātanā pradīyate|
6 In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, but death will escape them.
tasmin samaye mānavā mṛtyuṁ mṛgayiṣyante kintu prāptuṁ na śakṣyanti, te prāṇān tyaktum abhilaṣiṣyanti kintu mṛtyustebhyo dūraṁ palāyiṣyate|
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.
teṣāṁ pataṅgānām ākāro yuddhārthaṁ susajjitānām aśvānām ākārasya tulyaḥ, teṣāṁ śiraḥsu suvarṇakirīṭānīva kirīṭāni vidyante, mukhamaṇḍalāni ca mānuṣikamukhatulyāni,
8 They had hair like that of women, and teeth like those of lions.
keśāśca yoṣitāṁ keśānāṁ sadṛśāḥ, dantāśca siṁhadantatulyāḥ,
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.
lauhakavacavat teṣāṁ kavacāni santi, teṣāṁ pakṣāṇāṁ śabdo raṇāya dhāvatāmaśvarathānāṁ samūhasya śabdatulyaḥ|
10 They had tails with stingers like scorpions, which had the power to injure people for five months.
vṛścikānāmiva teṣāṁ lāṅgūlāni santi, teṣu lāṅgūleṣu kaṇṭakāni vidyante, aparaṁ pañca māsān yāvat mānavānāṁ hiṁsanāya te sāmarthyaprāptāḥ|
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)
teṣāṁ rājā ca rasātalasya dūtastasya nāma ibrīyabhāṣayā abaddon yūnānīyabhāṣayā ca apalluyon arthato vināśaka iti| (Abyssos g12)
12 The first woe has passed. Behold, two woes are still to follow.
prathamaḥ santāpo gatavān paśya itaḥ paramapi dvābhyāṁ santāpābhyām upasthātavyaṁ|
13 Then the sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God
tataḥ paraṁ ṣaṣṭhadūtena tūryyāṁ vāditāyām īśvarasyāntike sthitāyāḥ suvarṇavedyāścatuścūḍātaḥ kasyacid ravo mayāśrāvi|
14 saying to the sixth angel with the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.”
sa tūrīdhāriṇaṁ ṣaṣṭhadūtam avadat, pharātākhye mahānade ye catvāro dūtā baddhāḥ santi tān mocaya|
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.
tatastaddaṇḍasya taddinasya tanmāsasya tadvatsarasya ca kṛte nirūpitāste catvāro dūtā mānavānāṁ tṛtīyāṁśasya badhārthaṁ mocitāḥ|
16 And the number of mounted troops was two hundred million; I heard their number.
aparam aśvārohisainyānāṁ saṁkhyā mayāśrāvi, te viṁśatikoṭaya āsan|
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.
mayā ye 'śvā aśvārohiṇaśca dṛṣṭāsta etādṛśāḥ, teṣāṁ vahnisvarūpāṇi nīlaprastarasvarūpāṇi gandhakasvarūpāṇi ca varmmāṇyāsan, vājināñca siṁhamūrddhasadṛśā mūrddhānaḥ, teṣāṁ mukhebhyo vahnidhūmagandhakā nirgacchanti|
18 A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke, and sulfur that proceeded from their mouths.
etaistribhi rdaṇḍairarthatasteṣāṁ mukhebhyo nirgacchadbhi rvahnidhūmagandhakai rmānuṣāṇāṁ tutīyāṁśo 'ghāni|
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.
teṣāṁ vājināṁ balaṁ mukheṣu lāṅgūleṣu ca sthitaṁ, yatasteṣāṁ lāṅgūlāni sarpākārāṇi mastakaviśiṣṭāni ca taireva te hiṁsanti|
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.
aparam avaśiṣṭā ye mānavā tai rdaṇḍai rna hatāste yathā dṛṣṭiśravaṇagamanaśaktihīnān svarṇaraupyapittalaprastarakāṣṭhamayān vigrahān bhūtāṁśca na pūjayiṣyanti tathā svahastānāṁ kriyābhyaḥ svamanāṁsi na parāvarttitavantaḥ
21 Furthermore, they did not repent of their murder, sorcery, sexual immorality, and theft.
svabadhakuhakavyabhicāracauryyobhyo 'pi manāṁsi na parāvarttitavantaḥ|
