Revelation 9
1 Then the fifth angel blew; and I saw a star that had fallen on the earth from the heavens, and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. (Abyssos g12)
And the fifth angel sounded [his] trumpet: and I saw a star out of the heaven fallen to the earth; and there was given to it the key of the pit of the abyss. (Abyssos g12)
2 He opened the bottomless pit, and from the pit rose a smoke like the smoke of a great furnace. The sun and the air grew dark because of the smoke from the pit. (Abyssos g12)
And it opened the pit of the abyss; and there went up smoke out of the pit as [the] smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke of the pit. (Abyssos g12)
3 Out of the smoke locusts descended on the earth, and they received the same power as that possessed by scorpions.
And out of the smoke came forth locusts on the earth, and power was given to them as the scorpions of the earth have power;
4 They were told not to harm the grass, or any plant, or any tree, but only those who have not the seal of God on their foreheads.
and it was said to them, that they should not injure the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but the men who have not the seal of God on their foreheads:
5 Yet they were not allowed to kill them, but it was ordered that those men should be tortured for five months. Their torture was like the torture caused by a scorpion when it stings a person.
and it was given to them 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 it strikes a man.
6 In those days people will seek Death and will not find it; They will long to die, but Death flees from them.
And in those days shall men seek death, and shall in no way find it; and shall desire to die, and death flees from them.
7 In appearance the locusts were like horses equipped for battle. On their heads there were what appeared to be crowns that shone like gold, their faces resembled human faces,
And the likenesses of the locusts [were] like to horses prepared for war; and upon their heads as crowns like gold, and their faces as faces of men;
8 and they had hair like the hair of a woman, their teeth were like lions’ teeth,
and they had hair as women's hair, and their teeth were as of lions,
9 and they had what seemed to be iron breastplates, while the noise of their wings was like the noise of chariots drawn by many horses, galloping into battle.
and they had breastplates as breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings [was] as the sound of chariots of many horses running to war;
10 They have tails like scorpions, and stings, and in their tails lies their power to harm people for five months.
and they have tails like scorpions, and stings; and their power [was] in their tails to hurt men five months.
11 They have as their king the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name, in Hebrew, is ‘Abaddon,’ while, in Greek, his name is ‘Apollyon’ (the Destroyer). (Abyssos g12)
They have a king over them, the angel of the abyss: his name in Hebrew, Abaddon, and in Greek he has [for] name Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)
12 The first Woe has passed; and still there are two Woes to follow!
The first woe has passed. Behold, there come yet two woes after these things.
13 Then the sixth angel blew; and I heard a voice proceeding from the corners of the golden altar that stood before God.
And the sixth angel sounded [his] trumpet: and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which [is] before God,
14 It spoke to the sixth angel – the angel with the trumpet – and said ‘Let loose the four angels that are in chains at the great river Euphrates.’
saying to the sixth angel that had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound at the great river Euphrates.
15 Then the four angels, that were held in readiness for that hour and day and month and year, were let loose, to destroy a third of mankind.
And the four angels were loosed, who are prepared for the hour and day and month and year, that they might slay the third part of men;
16 The number of the hosts of cavalry was ten thousand times ten thousand, twice told; I heard their number.
and the number of the hosts of horse [was] twice ten thousand times ten thousand. I heard their number.
17 And this is what the horses and their riders appeared to be like in my vision: They had breastplates of fire, blood-red and sulphurous, and the heads of the horses were like lions’ heads, while out of their mouths issue fire, and smoke, and sulfur.
And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those that sat upon them, having breastplates of fire and jacinth and brimstone; and the heads of the horses [were] as heads of lions, and out of their mouths goes out fire and smoke and brimstone.
18 Through these three curses a third of humanity perished – because of the fire, and the smoke, and the sulfur that issued from their mouths;
By these three plagues were the third part of men killed, by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which goes out of their mouths.
19 for the power of the horses lies in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails are like snakes, with heads, and it is with them that they do harm.
For the power of the horses is in their mouth and in their tails: for their tails [are] like serpents, having heads, and with them they injure.
20 But those who were left of humanity, who had not perished through these curses, did not repent and turn away from what their own hands had made; they would not abandon the worship of demons, and of idols made of gold or silver or brass or stone or wood, which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk;
And the rest of men who were not killed with these plagues repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and the golden and silver and brazen and stone and wooden idols, which can neither see nor hear nor walk.
21 and they did not repent of their murders, or their sorceries, or their licentiousness, or their thefts.
And they repented not of their murders, nor of their witchcrafts, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
