Revelation 9
1 The fifth angel blew his trumpet. Then I saw [an evil angel. He was like] a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. He was given {[Someone] gave him} the key to the shaft [that descended] ([to] the underworld/[to] the deep dark pit). (Abyssos g12)
Tu se ozvala polnice pátého anděla. Z nebe spadla na zem jiná hvězda. Dostala klíč od propasti, (Abyssos g12)
2 When he opened that shaft, smoke arose from it like smoke from a huge burning furnace. The smoke prevented [anyone from seeing] the sky and the light of the sun. (Abyssos g12)
otevřela její jícen a z propasti se vyvalil dým jako z velké pece, zakryl slunce a za-mořil vzduch. (Abyssos g12)
3 Locusts came out of the smoke onto the earth. [They were given] {[God] gave them} power [to sting people], like scorpions [sting people].
Z dýmu se pak vyrojila mračna hmyzu s jedovatými žihadly. Byly to kobylky, jež však nenapadaly rostliny, ale lidi, kteří neměli Boží znamení na čele.
4 [God] told the locusts that they should not harm grass, nor any plants, nor any tree. [God said that they should harm only] those people who did not have a mark on the forehead [to show that they belonged to God].
5 [God] did not allow the locusts to kill those people. Instead, [he] allowed them to continue torturing people for five months. When they tortured people, the pain those people felt was like the pain a scorpion causes when it stings someone.
Nesměly je usmrcovat, ale mohly je pět měsíců trápit. Bodání toho hmyzu bude tak bolestivé, že mnozí se budou chtít sami zabít, avšak nepodaří se jim to, budou toužit po smrti, ale marně.
6 During the time [when the locusts torture rebellious people, the pain will be so bad that] people will want to find a way to die, but they will not be able to [PRS].
7 The locusts looked like horses that are ready for battle. They had on their heads what looked like golden crowns. Their faces were like the faces of people.
Zblízka ty kobylky vypadaly jako koně vystrojení do boje. Jejich hlavy ozdobené zlatými korunami měly lidské tváře,
8 They had [long] hair like the [long] hair of women. Their teeth were [strong], like lions’ teeth.
hřívy vlající jako rozpuštěné ženské vlasy, zuby jako lev.
9 They wore metal breastplates. [When they were flying], their wings made a noise like the roar when many horses [pull chariots as they are] rushing into battle.
Hruď měly jako okovanou pancířem a zvuk jejich křídel připomínal rachot útočící vozby.
10 They had tails like scorpions have. With their tails they stung [people] for five months.
Ocasy měly jako štíři a v nich žihadla, která po pět měsíců trápila lidi.
11 The king who ruled over them was the angel of the underworld. His name in the Hebrew language is Abaddon. In the Greek language it is Apollyon. [Both of] those names [mean ‘Destroyer’]. (Abyssos g12)
Vedl je král propasti zvaný hebrejsky Abaddon, řecky Apollyon, to znamená Zhoubce. (Abyssos g12)
12 That was the end of the first terrible event. [Be aware that] two tragic events are still to come.
Zdálo se, že první hrůza končí, ale už se valí další.
13 The sixth angel blew his trumpet. Then I heard a voice from the four corners of the golden altar that is in God’s presence.
Zatroubil šestý anděl a od čtyř rohů Božího oltáře se ozval hlas.
14 It was saying to the sixth angel, the one who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels whom [I] have bound at the great river Euphrates!”
Poručil šestému trubači: „Rozvaž pouta čtyř démonů od velké řeky Eufratu!“
15 The four angels were released, those who had been {[He] released the four angels, whom [God] had} kept ready for that [exact] hour of that day, of that month, of that year. They were released {[He] released them} in order that they might enable [their soldiers to] kill a third of the [rebellious] people.
Tak byli osvobozeni čtyři spoutaní démoni, kteří čekali na svou hodinu, aby vyhladili třetinu lidstva.
16 The number of the soldiers riding on horses who did that was 200 million. I heard [someone say] how many there were.
Vyrazili s jízdou v počtu dvě stě miliónů jezdců (to číslo mi bylo přesně sděleno):
17 In the vision I saw what the horses and the [beings] that rode them looked like. They [wore] breastplates that were [red] like fire, [dusky blue] like smoke, and [yellow] like sulfur. The heads of the horses were like the heads of lions. From their mouths came fire, smoke, and [fumes of burning] sulfur.
Jezdci měli na sobě ohnivě rudé, hyacintově modré a sírově žluté pancíře. Hlavy jejich koní byly jako hlavy lvů a z tlam jim šlehal oheň, vycházel kouř a čpěla síra. Právě tím – ohněm, kouřem a sírou – zabíjeli.
18 Those three things—the fire, the smoke, and the [burning] sulfur from [the horses’] mouths—killed a third of the [rebellious] people.
19 The horses had power with their mouths and with their tails. Their tails have heads like snakes by which they harm people.
Vražedná moc těch koní nevycházela jenom z jejich tlam, ale i z ocasů; měli totiž místo nich jedovaté hady a ti lidi kousali.
20 The rest of the [rebellious] people, those who were not killed by these plagues of [fire and smoke and burning sulfur], did not turn from their sinful behavior. [They did not stop worshipping] the idols that they had made with their own hands. They did not stop worshipping demons and idols [that were made] of gold, of silver, of bronze, of stone, and of wood, [even though they are idols] that can neither see nor hear nor walk.
Avšak lidé, kteří přežili tyto katastrofy, se přesto nezměnili a nečinili pokání. Boha nectili, ale dál uctívali svoje zlaté, stříbrné, měděné, kamenné nebo dokonce jen dřevěné modly, slepé, hluché a bezmocné.
21 They did not stop murdering people, or practicing sorcery, or acting in sexually immoral ways, or stealing [things].
Ne, lidé se vůbec nezměnili, nepřestali se vraždit neustoupili od svých pověr, cizoložství a krádeží.
