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)

And, the fifth messenger, sounded; and I saw a star, out of heaven, fallen unto the earth, and there was given unto him the key of the shaft of the abyss. (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)

And he opened the shaft of the abyss; and there came up a smoke out of the shaft, as the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened, by reason of the smoke of the shaft. (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.

And, out of the smoke, came forth, locusts, upon the earth; and there was given unto them licence, as the scorpions of the earth have licence.

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 bidden them that they should not injure the herbage of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, —but only the men who have not the seal of God upon 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 unto them, that they should not slay them, but that they should be tormented five months; and, the torture of them, was as of a scorpion’s torture, whensoever it smiteth 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 in nowise shall find it, and shall covet to die, and death fleeth 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 likenesses of the locusts, were like unto horses prepared for battle; and, upon their heads, as it were crowns, like unto 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, as 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 sound of chariots of many horses, running into 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 have tails like unto scorpions, and stings, and, in their tails, is their licence to injure men five months.

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)

They have over them, as king, the messenger of the abyss, whose name, in Hebrew, is Abaddon, and, in the Greek, he hath for name, Destroyer. (Abyssos g12)

12 The first woe is past. Look, there are still two woes coming after this.

The first, Woe, hath passed away, lo! there come, yet, two, Woes, after these things.

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

And, the sixth messenger, sounded; and I heard one voice, from among the 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 Euphrates."

saying unto the sixth messenger, who was holding the trumpet—Loose the four messengers, who 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 messengers were loosed, who had been prepared for the hour, and day, and month, and year, that they should slay the third of men.

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 the horsemen, was twice ten thousand times ten thousand—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, thus, saw I the horses in the vision, —and them who were sitting upon them, having breastplates as of fire and hyacinth and brimstone; —and, the heads of the horses, were as heads of lions, and, out of their mouths, come forth 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 plagues, were slain, the third part of mankind, by reason of the fire and the smoke and the brimstone, that proceedeth 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, the licence of the horses, is, in their mouth, and in their tails, for, their tails, are like unto serpents, having heads, and, with them, they injure.

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 rest of mankind who were not slain by these plagues, repented not of the works of their hands, —that they should not do homage unto the demons, nor unto the idols of gold and of silver and of copper and of stone and of wood, 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.

Neither repented they of their murders, or of their sorceries, or of their lewdnesses, or of their thefts.
