< Revelation 9 >
1 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 was given to him. (Abyssos )
AND the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven to the earth; and to him was given the key of the pit of the abyss of hell. (Abyssos )
2 He opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and smoke went up out of the shaft, like the smoke from a great furnace. The sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke from the pit. (Abyssos )
And he opened the pit of the abyss; and a smoke ascended out of the pit like the smoke of a vast furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke of the pit. (Abyssos )
3 Then out of the smoke came forth locusts on the earth, and power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
And out of the smoke came forth locusts upon the earth; and power was given to them, such power as the scorpions of the earth possess.
4 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.
And it was told them, Hurt not the grass of the earth, nor any herb, nor any tree, but only those men who have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
5 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.
And it was given them in charge that they should not kill these men outright, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment is as the torment of a scorpion when he striketh a man.
6 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.
And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall earnestly desire to die, and death shall fly from them.
7 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.
And the figures of the locusts were like horses equipped for war; and upon their heads there were as crowns, like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
8 They had hair like women's hair, and their teeth were like those of lions.
And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were like the teeth of lions.
9 They had breastplates, like breastplates of iron. The sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots, or of many horses rushing to war.
And they had breastplates, as breastplates of iron: and the sound of their wings was as the rumbling of chariots of many horses rushing to battle.
10 They have tails like those of scorpions, and stings. In their tails is their power to harm people for five months.
And they had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and they had power to hurt men five months.
11 They have over them as king the angel of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is "Avadu," and in Greek, he has the name "Apolon." (Abyssos )
And they had over them a king, the angel of the abyss of hell, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Appollyon. (Abyssos )
12 The first woe is past. Look, there are still two woes coming after this.
One woe is past; and, behold, there are coming yet two woes after these.
13 The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a great voice from the four horns of the altar of gold which is before God,
14 saying to the sixth angel who had one trumpet, "Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Pherath."
saying to the sixth angel who held the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound at the great river Euphrates.
15 The four angels were freed who had been prepared for this hour and day and month and year, so that they might kill one third of humanity.
And the four angels were loosed, who were ready at the hour, and day, and month, and year, to kill the third part of mankind.
16 The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million. I heard the number of them.
And the number of the armies of cavalry was two myriads of myriads and I heard the number of them.
17 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 heads of lions. Out of their mouths proceed fire, smoke, and sulfur.
And in this manner saw I the horses in the vision, and those who were mounted upon them, having breastplates of the colour of fire, and jacinth, and sulphur; and the horses’ heads were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths proceeded fire and smoke and brimstone.
18 By these three plagues were one third of humanity killed: from the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur, which proceeded out of their mouths.
By these three were slain the third part of mankind, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the sulphur, which proceeded out of their mouths.
19 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.
For their powers are in their mouth, and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads, and with them they do hurt.
20 The rest of humanity, 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 bronze, and of stone, and of wood; which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk.
And the residue of mankind, who were not slain by these plagues, repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of wood, and of stone: which can neither see nor hear, nor walk:
21 They did not repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their sexual immorality, nor of their thefts.
and they repented not of their murders, nor of their magical arts, nor of their whoredom, nor of their thefts.
