Revelation 9
1 And the fifth Angel blew the trumpet, and I saw a starre fall from heauen vnto the earth, and to him was giuen the key of the bottomlesse pit. (Abyssos g12)
The fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from the sky which had fallen to the earth. The key to the pit of the Abyss (Abyssos g12) was given to him.
2 And he opened the bottomlesse pit, and there arose the smoke of the pit, as the smoke of a great fornace, and the sunne, and the ayre were darkened by the smoke of the pit. (Abyssos g12)
He opened the pit of the Abyss (Abyssos g12), and smoke went up out of the pit, like the smoke from a burning furnace. The sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke from the pit.
3 And there came out of the smoke Locustes vpon the earth, and vnto them was giuen power, as the scorpions of the earth haue power.
Then out of the smoke came locusts on the earth, and power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4 And it was comanded them, that they should not hurt the grasse of the earth, neither any greene thing, neither any tree: but onely those men which haue not the seale of God in their foreheads.
They were told that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only those people who do not have God’s seal on their foreheads.
5 And to them was comanded that they should not kill them, but that they should be vexed fiue moneths, and that their paine should be as the paine that commeth of a scorpion, when he hath stung a man.
They were given power, not to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a person.
6 Therefore in those dayes shall men seeke death, and shall not finde it, and shall desire to die, and death shall flie from them.
In those days people will seek death, and will in no way find it. They will desire to die, and death will flee from them.
7 And the forme of the locustes was like vnto horses prepared vnto battel, and on their heads were as it were crownes, like vnto golde, and their faces were like the faces of men.
The shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared for war. On their heads were something like golden crowns, and their faces were like people’s faces.
8 And they had heare as the heare of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lyons.
They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like those of lions.
9 And they had habbergions, like to habbergions of yron: and the soud of their wings was like the sound of charets whe many horses runne vnto battel.
They had breastplates like breastplates of iron. The sound of their wings was like the sound of many chariots and horses rushing to war.
10 And they had tailes like vnto scorpions, and there were stings in their tailes, and their power was to hurt men fiue moneths.
They have tails like those of scorpions, with stingers. In their tails they have power to harm men for five months.
11 And they haue a King ouer them, which is the Angel of the bottomlesse pit, whose name in Hebrewe is Abaddon, and in Greeke he is named Apollyon, that is, destroying. (Abyssos g12)
They have over them as king the angel of the Abyss (Abyssos g12). His name in Hebrew is "Abaddon", and in Greek, he has the name "Apollyon".
12 One woe is past, and beholde, yet two woes come after this.
The first woe is past. Behold, there are still two woes coming after this.
13 Then the sixt Angel blew the trumpet, and I heard a voyce from the foure hornes of the golden altar, which is before God,
The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God,
14 Saying to the sixt Angel, which had the trumpet, Loose the foure Angels, which are bound in the great riuer Euphrates.
saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates!”
15 And the foure Angels were loosed, which were prepared at an houre, at a day, at a moneth, and at a yeere, to slay the thirde part of men.
The four angels were freed who had been prepared for that hour and day and month and year, so that they might kill one third of mankind.
16 And the nomber of horsemen of warre were twentie thousand times ten thousand: for I heard the nomber of them.
The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million. I heard the number of them.
17 And thus I saw the horses in a vision, and them that sate on them, hauing firie habbergions, and of Iacinth, and of brimstone, and the heads of the horses were as the heades of lyons: and out of their mouthes went foorth fire and smoke and brimstone.
Thus I saw the horses in the vision and those who sat on them, having breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the horses’ heads resembled lions’ heads. Out of their mouths proceed fire, smoke, and sulfur.
18 Of these three was the thirde part of men killed, that is, of the fire, and of the smoke, and of the brimstone, which came out of their mouthes.
By these three plagues, one third of mankind was killed: by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur, which proceeded out of their mouths.
19 For their power is in their mouths, and in their tailes: for their tailes were like vnto serpents, and had heades, wherewith they hurt.
For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails are like serpents, and have heads; and with them they harm.
20 And the remnant of the men which were not killed by these plagues, repented not of the works of their handes that they should not worship deuils, and idoles of golde and of siluer, and of brasse, and of stone, and of wood, which neither can see, neither heare nor goe.
The rest of mankind, who were not killed with these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they would not worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood, which cannot see, hear, or walk.
21 Also they repented not of their murder, and of their sorcerie, neither of their fornication, nor of their theft.
They did not repent of their murders, their sorceries, their sexual immorality, or their thefts.
