Revelation 9

1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. (Abyssos g12)

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)

2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. (Abyssos g12)

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)

3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

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.

4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

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 to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.

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.

6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.

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 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.

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.

8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.

They had hair like a woman's and their teeth were like a lion's.

9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.

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.

10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.

And, they have tails like scorpions and stingers precisely in those tails! They have the capability to hurt the populace five months,

11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)

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)

12 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.

The first woe is past, but, two woes are still coming, after these things.

13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,

So the sixth angel trumpeted, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar that is before God

14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.

saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.”

15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.

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.

16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.

And the number of the mounted troops was a hundred million (I heard their number).

17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.

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.

18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.

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 their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.

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.

20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:

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;

21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

and they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their fornication or their thefts.
