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)
Nitioke i anjely faha limey, le nitreako ty vasiañe nigodoiñe an-tane eo hirik’ andindìñe ey, vaho natolotse aze ty lahin-dakilè’ i vovon-tsikeokeokey. (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)
Sinoka’e i tsikeokeokey, le niforoake hirik’ an-koboñ’ao ty hatoeñe hoe boak’ an-toñake jabajaba. Nimaie’ i hatoeñe naporoa’ i Tsikeokeokeiy i àndroy naho i tiokey. (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].
Le niboak’ amy hatoeñey mb’an-tane atoy ty valala vaho nitoloran-dily hambañe ami’ty lily amo halafia’ ty tane toio.
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].
Nitsaraeñe te tsy ho joieñe ty ahets’ an-tane atoy, ndra ze raha antsetra naho ze hatae, fa ondaty tsy minday i vilon’ Añaharey an-dahara’e eo avao.
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.
Le nimean-dily iereo tsy hanjamañe iareo, fa t’ie hampisoañeñe lime volañe. Ty fanaintaiña’ iareo le ty fanaintaiña’ ty kalengo mamantike ondaty.
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].
Hipay hikenkañe ondatio amy andro rezay, fe tsy hahaoniñe; hisalala hibanìtse, fe handifiha’ ty havilasy.
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.
Nanahake soavala veka’e hialy ty vinta’ i valala rey, naho hoe sabakam-bolamena ty an-doha’ iareo vaho nanahake tarehe ondaty ty tarehe’ iareo.
8 They had [long] hair like the [long] hair of women. Their teeth were [strong], like lions’ teeth.
Nanahake maroin-drakemba ty volo’ iareo, vaho hoe nifen-diona ty nife’ iareo.
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.
Hoe fikalañan’ arañañe viñe o fikala’ iareoo, le nanahake ty fikorokodoin-tsoavalan-tsarete maro mioratse mb’añ’aly ty fikofaokofaon’ ela’ iareo.
10 They had tails like scorpions have. With their tails they stung [people] for five months.
Hambañe amo kalengoo ty solo’ iareo naho minipoke; toe aman-dily hañehetse ondaty añate’ ty lime volañe o solo’ iareoo.
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)
Amam-panjaka mifehe iereo, ty anjeli’ i Tsikeokeokey: i Abadona ty añara’e ami’ty Hebreo, naho Apoliona ty añara’e ami’ty Grika. (Abyssos g12)
12 That was the end of the first terrible event. [Be aware that] two tragic events are still to come.
Heneke i hankàñe raikey, Inao! fa hizo hankàñe roe henane zao.
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.
Nitioke i anjely fah’ eneñey, le tsinanoko ty feo boak’ an-tsifa efa’ i kitrely volamena añatrefan’ Añaharey
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!”
nanao ty hoe amy anjely fah’ eneñe nitintiñe i antsivaiy, Hahao i anjely efatse mirohy amy saka jabajaba Eofratay rey.
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.
Le navotsotse ty anjely efatse nihentseñeñe ho ami’ty ora naho àndro naho volañe vaho taoñe, hanjamañe ty faha-telo’ ondatio.
16 The number of the soldiers riding on horses who did that was 200 million. I heard [someone say] how many there were.
Ro’arivo-hetse ty iam-piningi-tsoavala nirimboñe. Tsinanoko ty ia’ iareo.
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.
Zao ty vinta’ o soavalao naho o mpiningitse ama’e nitreako amy aroñaroñeio: amañ’afo naho manga antetse vaho vaton-tsolifara o fikalañ’ araña’ iareoo; naho hoe lohan-diona ty loha’ o soavalao, naho miforoak’ am-bava’ iareo ty afo naho hatoeñe vaho solifara.
18 Those three things—the fire, the smoke, and the [burning] sulfur from [the horses’] mouths—killed a third of the [rebellious] people.
Nanjamañe ty faha-telo’ ondaty an-tane atoy i telo rezay, i afoy naho i hatoeñey vaho i solifara niforoake boak’ am-bava’ iareoy.
19 The horses had power with their mouths and with their tails. Their tails have heads like snakes by which they harm people.
Amy te am-bava’ o soavalao naho amo ohi’eo ty haozara’ iareo; fa hoe mereñe aman-doha’e, ty ohi’ iareo le irezay ty fijoia’ iareo.
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.
Mbe tsy nisoloho amo satan-taña’ iareoo o sehanga’ ondaty tsy nizamane’ i angorosy rezaio; tsy nijihetse ami’ty filokolokoañe amo kokolampao naho amo samposampo volamena naho volafoty naho torisìke naho vato vaho hataeo, ie tsy mahatrea naho tsy mahatsanoñe vaho tsy mahilala;
21 They did not stop murdering people, or practicing sorcery, or acting in sexually immoral ways, or stealing [things].
vaho tsy nibaboha’ iareo o fañohofan-dozao ndra o famorehañeo ndra o hakarapiloañeo ndra o fampikamerañeo. Fa amo andro’ i fiarañanaña’ i anjely faha-fitoio, ie vaho hitioke i antsivaiy, le ho heneke i tafatoñon’ Añahare nitaroñe’e amo mpitoky mpitoro’eoy.
