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 g12)
第五位天使吹號，我就看見一個星從天落到地上，有無底坑的鑰匙賜給它。 (Abyssos g12)
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 g12)
它開了無底坑，便有煙從坑裏往上冒，好像大火爐的煙；日頭和天空都因這煙昏暗了。 (Abyssos g12)
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.
有蝗蟲從煙中出來，飛到地上；有能力賜給牠們，好像地上蠍子的能力一樣，
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.
並且吩咐牠們說，不可傷害地上的草和各樣青物，並一切樹木，惟獨要傷害額上沒有上帝印記的人。
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.
但不許蝗蟲害死他們，只叫他們受痛苦五個月。這痛苦就像蠍子螫人的痛苦一樣。
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.
在那些日子，人要求死，決不得死；願意死，死卻遠避他們。
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.
蝗蟲的形狀，好像預備出戰的馬一樣，頭上戴的好像金冠冕，臉面好像男人的臉面，
8 They had hair like women's hair, and their teeth were like those of lions.
頭髮像女人的頭髮，牙齒像獅子的牙齒。
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.
胸前有甲，好像鐵甲。牠們翅膀的聲音，好像許多車馬奔跑上陣的聲音。
10 They have tails like those of scorpions, and stings. In their tails is their power to harm people for five months.
有尾巴像蠍子，尾巴上的毒鉤能傷人五個月。
11 They have over them as king the angel of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is "Abaddon," and in Greek, he has the name "Apollyon." (Abyssos g12)
有無底坑的使者作牠們的王，按着希伯來話，名叫亞巴頓，希臘話，名叫亞玻倫。 (Abyssos g12)
12 The first woe is past. Look, there are still two woes coming after this.
第一樣災禍過去了，還有兩樣災禍要來。
13 The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
第六位天使吹號，我就聽見有聲音從上帝面前金壇的四角出來，
14 saying to the sixth angel who had one trumpet, "Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates."
吩咐那吹號的第六位天使，說：「把那捆綁在幼發拉底大河的四個使者釋放了。」
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.
那四個使者就被釋放；他們原是預備好了，到某年某月某日某時，要殺人的三分之一。
16 The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million. I heard the number of them.
馬軍有二萬萬；他們的數目我聽見了。
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.
我在異象中看見那些馬和騎馬的，騎馬的胸前有甲如火，與紫瑪瑙並硫磺。馬的頭好像獅子頭，有火、有煙、有硫磺從馬的口中出來。
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.
口中所出來的火與煙並硫磺，這三樣災殺了人的三分之一。
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.
這馬的能力是在口裏和尾巴上；因這尾巴像蛇，並且有頭用以害人。
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.
其餘未曾被這些災所殺的人仍舊不悔改自己手所做的，還是去拜鬼魔和那些不能看、不能聽、不能走，金、銀、銅、木、石的偶像，
21 They did not repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their sexual immorality, nor of their thefts.
又不悔改他們那些凶殺、邪術、姦淫、偷竊的事。
