Revelation 9

1 And the fifth messenger did sound, and I saw a star out of the heaven having fallen to the earth, and there was given to it the key of the pit of the abyss, (Abyssos g12)

And the fifth angel sounded; and I saw a star fall from heaven to the earth; and there was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss; (Abyssos g12)

2 and he did open the pit of the abyss, and there came up a smoke out of the pit as smoke of a great furnace, and darkened was the sun and the air, from the smoke of the pit. (Abyssos g12)

and he opened the pit of the abyss; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, like the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke of the pit. (Abyssos g12)

3 And out of the smoke came forth locusts to the earth, and there was given to them authority, as scorpions of the earth have authority,

And out of the smoke there came locusts upon the earth; and power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

4 and it was said to them that they may not injure the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but — the men only who have not the seal of God upon their foreheads,

And they were commanded not to hurt the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but the men who have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

5 and it was given to them that they may not kill them, but that they may be tormented five months, and their torment [is] as the torment of a scorpion, when it may strike a man;

And they were permitted, not to kill them, but to torment them five months; and the torment inflicted by them was like the torment inflicted by a scorpion, when he stings a man.

6 and in those days shall men seek the death, and they shall not find it, and they shall desire to die, and the death shall flee from them.

And in those days men will seek for death, and shall not find it; and they will desire to die, and death shall flee from them.

7 And the likenesses of the locusts [are] like to horses made ready to battle, and upon their heads as crowns like gold, and their faces as faces of men,

And the shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared for battle; and on their heads were, as it were, crowns of gold; and their faces were like the faces of men.

8 and they had hair as hair of women, and their teeth were as [those] of lions,

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

9 and they had breastplates as breastplates of iron, and the noise of their wings [is] as the noise of chariots of many horses running to battle;

And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.

10 and they have tails like to scorpions, and stings were in their tails; and their authority [is] to injure men five months;

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

11 and they have over them a king — the messenger of the abyss — a name [is] to him in Hebrew, Abaddon, and in the Greek he hath a name, Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)

And they had over them a king, the angel of the abyss: his name, in Hebrew, is Abaddon, and, in Greek, he has the name Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)

12 The first woe did go forth, lo, there come yet two woes after these things.

The first woe is past: behold, there are coming, after this, two woes more.

13 And the sixth messenger did sound, and I heard a voice out of the four horns of the altar of gold that is before God,

And the sixth angel sounded: and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar that is before God,

14 saying to the sixth messenger who had the trumpet, 'Loose the four messengers who are bound at the great river Euphrates;'

saying to the sixth angel, who had the trumpet: Loose the four angels that are bound at the great river Euphrates.

15 and loosed were the four messengers, who have been made ready for the hour, and day, and month, and year, that they may kill the third of men;

And the four angels were loosed, who were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, to slay the third part of men.

16 and the number of the forces of the horsemen [is] two myriads of myriads, and I heard the number of them.

And the number of the armies of horsemen was two myriads of myriads: I heard the number of them.

17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those sitting upon them, having breastplates of fire, and jacinth, and brimstone; and the heads of the horses [are] as heads of lions, and out of their mouths proceedeth fire, and smoke, and brimstone;

And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those who sat on them; they had breastplates, fiery, and hyacinthine, and sulphurous: and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.

18 by these three were the third of men killed, from the fire, and from the smoke, and from the brimstone, that is proceeding out of their mouth,

By these three plagues was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and the smoke, and the brimstone that issued out of their mouths.

19 for their authorities are in their mouth, and in their tails, for their tails [are] like serpents, having heads, and with them they do injure;

For their power was in their mouth and in their tails; for their tails were like serpents, and had heads, and with them they do injury.

20 and the rest of men, who were not killed in these plagues, neither did reform from the works of their hands, that they may not bow before the demons, and idols, those of gold, and those of silver, and those of brass, and those of stone, and those of wood, that are neither able to see, nor to hear, nor to walk,

And the rest of men that were not killed by these plagues, repented not of the works of their hands, that they might not 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;

21 yea they did not reform from their murders, nor from their sorceries, nor from their whoredoms, nor from their thefts.

and they repented not of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their lewdness, nor of their thefts.
