Revelation 9
1 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)
tataḥ paraṁ saptamadūtena tūryyāṁ vāditāyāṁ gaganāt pṛthivyāṁ nipatita ekastārako mayā dṛṣṭaḥ, tasmai rasātalakūpasya kuñjikādāyi| (Abyssos g12)
2 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)
tena rasātalakūpe mukte mahāgnikuṇḍasya dhūma iva dhūmastasmāt kūpād udgataḥ| tasmāt kūpadhūmāt sūryyākāśau timirāvṛtau| (Abyssos g12)
3 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.
tasmād dhūmāt pataṅgeṣu pṛthivyāṁ nirgateṣu naralokasthavṛścikavat balaṁ tebhyo'dāyi|
4 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.
aparaṁ pṛthivyāstṛṇāni haridvarṇaśākādayo vṛkṣāśca tai rna siṁhitavyāḥ kintu yeṣāṁ bhāleṣvīśvarasya mudrāyā aṅko nāsti kevalaṁ te mānavāstai rhiṁsitavyā idaṁ ta ādiṣṭāḥ|
5 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.
parantu teṣāṁ badhāya nahi kevalaṁ pañca māsān yāvat yātanādānāya tebhyaḥ sāmarthyamadāyi| vṛścikena daṣṭasya mānavasya yādṛśī yātanā jāyate tairapi tādṛśī yātanā pradīyate|
6 And, in those days, shall men seek death, and in nowise shall find it, and shall covet to die, and death fleeth from them.
tasmin samaye mānavā mṛtyuṁ mṛgayiṣyante kintu prāptuṁ na śakṣyanti, te prāṇān tyaktum abhilaṣiṣyanti kintu mṛtyustebhyo dūraṁ palāyiṣyate|
7 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,
teṣāṁ pataṅgānām ākāro yuddhārthaṁ susajjitānām aśvānām ākārasya tulyaḥ, teṣāṁ śiraḥsu suvarṇakirīṭānīva kirīṭāni vidyante, mukhamaṇḍalāni ca mānuṣikamukhatulyāni,
8 and, they had hair, as the hair of women, and, their teeth, were, as of lions,
keśāśca yoṣitāṁ keśānāṁ sadṛśāḥ, dantāśca siṁhadantatulyāḥ,
9 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;
lauhakavacavat teṣāṁ kavacāni santi, teṣāṁ pakṣāṇāṁ śabdo raṇāya dhāvatāmaśvarathānāṁ samūhasya śabdatulyaḥ|
10 and they have tails like unto scorpions, and stings, and, in their tails, is their licence to injure men five months.
vṛścikānāmiva teṣāṁ lāṅgūlāni santi, teṣu lāṅgūleṣu kaṇṭakāni vidyante, aparaṁ pañca māsān yāvat mānavānāṁ hiṁsanāya te sāmarthyaprāptāḥ|
11 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)
teṣāṁ rājā ca rasātalasya dūtastasya nāma ibrīyabhāṣayā abaddon yūnānīyabhāṣayā ca apalluyon arthato vināśaka iti| (Abyssos g12)
12 The first, Woe, hath passed away, lo! there come, yet, two, Woes, after these things.
prathamaḥ santāpo gatavān paśya itaḥ paramapi dvābhyāṁ santāpābhyām upasthātavyaṁ|
13 And, the sixth messenger, sounded; and I heard one voice, from among the horns of the altar of gold which is before God,
tataḥ paraṁ ṣaṣṭhadūtena tūryyāṁ vāditāyām īśvarasyāntike sthitāyāḥ suvarṇavedyāścatuścūḍātaḥ kasyacid ravo mayāśrāvi|
14 saying unto the sixth messenger, who was holding the trumpet—Loose the four messengers, who are bound at the great river Euphrates.
sa tūrīdhāriṇaṁ ṣaṣṭhadūtam avadat, pharātākhye mahānade ye catvāro dūtā baddhāḥ santi tān mocaya|
15 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.
tatastaddaṇḍasya taddinasya tanmāsasya tadvatsarasya ca kṛte nirūpitāste catvāro dūtā mānavānāṁ tṛtīyāṁśasya badhārthaṁ mocitāḥ|
16 And, the number of the armies of the horsemen, was twice ten thousand times ten thousand—I heard the number of them.
aparam aśvārohisainyānāṁ saṁkhyā mayāśrāvi, te viṁśatikoṭaya āsan|
17 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:
mayā ye 'śvā aśvārohiṇaśca dṛṣṭāsta etādṛśāḥ, teṣāṁ vahnisvarūpāṇi nīlaprastarasvarūpāṇi gandhakasvarūpāṇi ca varmmāṇyāsan, vājināñca siṁhamūrddhasadṛśā mūrddhānaḥ, teṣāṁ mukhebhyo vahnidhūmagandhakā nirgacchanti|
18 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;
etaistribhi rdaṇḍairarthatasteṣāṁ mukhebhyo nirgacchadbhi rvahnidhūmagandhakai rmānuṣāṇāṁ tutīyāṁśo 'ghāni|
19 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.
teṣāṁ vājināṁ balaṁ mukheṣu lāṅgūleṣu ca sthitaṁ, yatasteṣāṁ lāṅgūlāni sarpākārāṇi mastakaviśiṣṭāni ca taireva te hiṁsanti|
20 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;
aparam avaśiṣṭā ye mānavā tai rdaṇḍai rna hatāste yathā dṛṣṭiśravaṇagamanaśaktihīnān svarṇaraupyapittalaprastarakāṣṭhamayān vigrahān bhūtāṁśca na pūjayiṣyanti tathā svahastānāṁ kriyābhyaḥ svamanāṁsi na parāvarttitavantaḥ
21 Neither repented they of their murders, or of their sorceries, or of their lewdnesses, or of their thefts.
svabadhakuhakavyabhicāracauryyobhyo 'pi manāṁsi na parāvarttitavantaḥ|
