Revelation 9

1 And the fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star fall from heaven to the earth: and the key of the bottomless pit 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 And he opened the bottomless pit: and there came up smoke out of the pit as the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke of 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 And out of the smoke there came forth locusts upon the earth; and power was given them, even 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 And order was given them, not to hurt the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree; but only the men, who had not the seal of God 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 And to them was given power, not to kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it striketh a man.

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 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it: and they shall desire to die, and death shall 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 And the resemblance of the locusts was like horses prepared for war; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces as the faces of men.

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 And they had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.

and, they had hair, as the hair of women, and, their teeth, were, as of lions,

9 And they had breast-plates like breast-plates of iron; and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots, with many horses running to 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 into battle;

10 And they had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.

and they have tails like unto scorpions, and stings, and, in their tails, is their licence to injure men five months.

11 And they had a king over them, the angel of the bottomless pit; whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek tongue 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 Thus one wo is past, but behold two woes more are coming after.

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

13 And the sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a certain 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 the trumpet, Let loose the four angels, that are bound by 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 And the four angels were let loose; who were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, to kill the third part of men.

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 And the number of their armies was two hundred millions: for 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 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those that sat on them, that is, having breast-plates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire, and smoke, and brimstone.

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 And by these three things, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which came out of their mouths, the third part of men were killed.

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 their power is in their mouth, and in their tails also; for their tails are like serpents, having heads: and with these likewise they do mischief.

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 And the rest of the men, who were not killed by these plagues, yet repented not of the works of their hands, so as not to worship demons, and idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, 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 neither did they repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their whoredom, nor of their thefts.

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