< 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 )
και ο πεμπτος αγγελος εσαλπισεν και ειδον αστερα εκ του ουρανου πεπτωκοτα εις την γην και εδοθη αυτω η κλεις του φρεατος της αβυσσου (Abyssos )
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 )
[και ηνοιξεν το φρεαρ της αβυσσου] και ανεβη καπνος εκ του φρεατος ως καπνος καμινου καιομενης και εσκοτισθη ο ηλιος και ο αηρ εκ του καπνου του φρεατος (Abyssos )
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.
και εκ του καπνου εξηλθον ακριδες εις την γην και εδοθη αυταις εξουσια ως εχουσιν εξουσιαν οι σκορπιοι της γης
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.
και ερρεθη αυταις ινα μη αδικησωσιν τον χορτον της γης ουδε παν χλωρον ουδε παν δενδρον ει μη τους ανθρωπους οιτινες ουκ εχουσιν την σφραγιδα του θεου επι των μετωπων αυτων
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.
και εδοθη αυταις ινα μη αποκτεινωσιν αυτους αλλ ινα βασανισθωσιν μηνας πεντε και ο βασανισμος αυτων ως βασανισμος σκορπιου οταν παιση ανθρωπον
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.
και εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις ζητησουσιν οι ανθρωποι τον θανατον και ου μη ευρησουσιν αυτον και επιθυμησουσιν αποθανειν και φευξεται απ αυτων ο θανατος
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.
και τα ομοιωματα των ακριδων ομοια ιπποις ητοιμασμενοις εις πολεμον και επι τας κεφαλας αυτων ως στεφανοι χρυσοι και τα προσωπα αυτων ως προσωπα ανθρωπων
8 They had hair like a woman's and their teeth were like a lion's.
και ειχον τριχας ως τριχας γυναικων και οι οδοντες αυτων ως λεοντων ησαν
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.
και ειχον θωρακας ως θωρακας σιδηρους και η φωνη των πτερυγων αυτων ως φωνη αρματων ιππων πολλων τρεχοντων εις πολεμον
10 And, they have tails like scorpions and stingers precisely in those tails! They have the capability to hurt the populace five months,
και εχουσιν ουρας ομοιας σκορπιοις και κεντρα και εν ταις ουραις αυτων εξουσιαν εχουσιν του αδικησαι τους ανθρωπους μηνας πεντε
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 )
εχουσαι βασιλεα επ αυτων αγγελον της αβυσσου ονομα αυτω εβραιστι αββαδων εν δε τη ελληνικη ονομα εχει απολλυων (Abyssos )
12 The first woe is past, but, two woes are still coming, after these things.
η ουαι η μια απηλθεν ιδου ερχεται ετι δυο ουαι μετα ταυτα
13 So the sixth angel trumpeted, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar that is before God
και ο εκτος αγγελος εσαλπισεν και ηκουσα φωνην μιαν εκ των τεσσαρων κερατων του θυσιαστηριου του χρυσου του ενωπιον του θεου
14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.”
λεγουσαν τω εκτω αγγελω ο εχων την σαλπιγγα λυσον τους τεσσαρας αγγελους τους δεδεμενους επι τω ποταμω τω μεγαλω ευφρατη
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.
και ελυθησαν οι τεσσαρες αγγελοι οι ητοιμασμενοι εις την ωραν και [εις] την ημεραν και μηνα και ενιαυτον ινα αποκτεινωσιν το τριτον των ανθρωπων
16 And the number of the mounted troops was a hundred million (I heard their number).
και ο αριθμος των στρατευματων του ιππου μυριαδες μυριαδων ηκουσα τον αριθμον αυτων
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.
και ουτως ειδον τους ιππους εν τη ορασει και τους καθημενους επ αυτων εχοντας θωρακας πυρινους και υακινθινους και θειωδεις και αι κεφαλαι των ιππων ως κεφαλαι λεοντων και εκ των στοματων αυτων εκπορευεται πυρ και καπνος και θειον
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.
απο των τριων πληγων τουτων απεκτανθησαν το τριτον των ανθρωπων απο του πυρος και του καπνου και του θειου του εκπορευομενου εκ των στοματων αυτων
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.
η γαρ εξουσια των ιππων εν τω στοματι αυτων εστιν και εν ταις ουραις αυτων αι γαρ ουραι αυτων ομοιαι οφεων εχουσαι κεφαλας και εν αυταις αδικουσιν
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;
και οι λοιποι των ανθρωπων οι ουκ απεκτανθησαν εν ταις πληγαις ταυταις ου μετενοησαν εκ των εργων των χειρων αυτων ινα μη προσκυνησωσιν τα δαιμονια και τα ειδωλα τα χρυσα και τα αργυρα [και τα χαλκα] και τα λιθινα και τα ξυλινα α ουτε βλεπειν δυναται ουτε ακουειν ουτε περιπατειν
21 and they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their fornication or their thefts.
και ου μετενοησαν εκ των φονων αυτων ουτε εκ των φαρμακειων αυτων ουτε εκ της πορνειας αυτων ουτε εκ των κλεμματων αυτων
