Revelation 9
1 So the fifth angel trumpeted, and I saw a ‘star’ that had fallen out of the sky to the earth. And to him was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss. (Abyssos g12)
Tu se ozvala polnice pátého anděla. Z nebe spadla na zem jiná hvězda. Dostala klíč od propasti, (Abyssos g12)
2 So he opened the shaft of the Abyss and smoke went up out of the shaft, like the smoke of a burning furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke from the shaft. (Abyssos g12)
otevřela její jícen a z propasti se vyvalil dým jako z velké pece, zakryl slunce a za-mořil vzduch. (Abyssos g12)
3 And ‘locusts’ exited from the smoke into the earth. And to them was given a capability just like the scorpions of the earth have capability.
Z dýmu se pak vyrojila mračna hmyzu s jedovatými žihadly. Byly to kobylky, jež však nenapadaly rostliny, ale lidi, kteří neměli Boží znamení na čele.
4 And they were told not to harm the grass of the earth, nor any green plant, nor any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
5 And it was designated to them [locusts], not to kill them [men] but, to torment them five months. And their torment is like the torment of a scorpion whenever it strikes a person.
Nesměly je usmrcovat, ale mohly je pět měsíců trápit. Bodání toho hmyzu bude tak bolestivé, že mnozí se budou chtít sami zabít, avšak nepodaří se jim to, budou toužit po smrti, ale marně.
6 And in those days the people will seek death but not find it; they will want to die but death will run away from them.
7 Now the appearance of the ‘locusts’ was like horses prepared for battle, and something like a golden crown was on their heads, and their faces were like human faces.
Zblízka ty kobylky vypadaly jako koně vystrojení do boje. Jejich hlavy ozdobené zlatými korunami měly lidské tváře,
8 They had hair like a woman's and their teeth were like a lion's.
hřívy vlající jako rozpuštěné ženské vlasy, zuby jako lev.
9 They had breastplates like breastplates of iron and the noise of their wings was like the noise of many chariots with horses rushing into battle.
Hruď měly jako okovanou pancířem a zvuk jejich křídel připomínal rachot útočící vozby.
10 And, they have tails like scorpions and stingers precisely in those tails! They have the capability to hurt the populace five months,
Ocasy měly jako štíři a v nich žihadla, která po pět měsíců trápila lidi.
11 having as king over them the angel of the Abyss—his name in Hebrew is Abbaddon, while in Greek he has the name Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)
Vedl je král propasti zvaný hebrejsky Abaddon, řecky Apollyon, to znamená Zhoubce. (Abyssos g12)
12 The first woe is past, but, two woes are still coming, after these things.
Zdálo se, že první hrůza končí, ale už se valí další.
13 So the sixth angel trumpeted, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar that is before God
Zatroubil šestý anděl a od čtyř rohů Božího oltáře se ozval hlas.
14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.”
Poručil šestému trubači: „Rozvaž pouta čtyř démonů od velké řeky Eufratu!“
15 So the four angels were released—they had been prepared for the hour and the day and month and year—so that they might kill a third of mankind.
Tak byli osvobozeni čtyři spoutaní démoni, kteří čekali na svou hodinu, aby vyhladili třetinu lidstva.
16 And the number of the mounted troops was a hundred million (I heard their number).
Vyrazili s jízdou v počtu dvě stě miliónů jezdců (to číslo mi bylo přesně sděleno):
17 And in the vision I saw the horses like this: those who rode them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue and sulfur yellow; the heads of the horses were like lions' heads; out of their mouths came fire, smoke and brimstone.
Jezdci měli na sobě ohnivě rudé, hyacintově modré a sírově žluté pancíře. Hlavy jejich koní byly jako hlavy lvů a z tlam jim šlehal oheň, vycházel kouř a čpěla síra. Právě tím – ohněm, kouřem a sírou – zabíjeli.
18 By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed—by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone that came out of their mouths.
19 For the capability of the horses is in their mouths—and in their tails, because their tails are like snakes, having heads, and with them they do harm.
Vražedná moc těch koní nevycházela jenom z jejich tlam, ale i z ocasů; měli totiž místo nich jedovaté hady a ti lidi kousali.
20 Yet the rest of the people, those who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, so as to stop worshiping the demons, even the idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk;
Avšak lidé, kteří přežili tyto katastrofy, se přesto nezměnili a nečinili pokání. Boha nectili, ale dál uctívali svoje zlaté, stříbrné, měděné, kamenné nebo dokonce jen dřevěné modly, slepé, hluché a bezmocné.
21 and they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their fornication or their thefts.
Ne, lidé se vůbec nezměnili, nepřestali se vraždit neustoupili od svých pověr, cizoložství a krádeží.
