< Αποκαλυψις Ιωαννου 9 >
1 και ο πεμπτος αγγελος εσαλπισεν και ειδον αστερα εκ του ουρανου πεπτωκοτα εις την γην και εδοθη αυτω η κλεις του φρεατος της αβυσσου (Abyssos )
AND the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven to the earth; and to him was given the key of the pit of the abyss of hell. (Abyssos )
2 [ και ηνοιξεν το φρεαρ της αβυσσου ] και ανεβη καπνος εκ του φρεατος ως καπνος καμινου καιομενης και εσκοτισθη ο ηλιος και ο αηρ εκ του καπνου του φρεατος (Abyssos )
And he opened the pit of the abyss; and a smoke ascended out of the pit like the smoke of a vast furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke of the pit. (Abyssos )
3 και εκ του καπνου εξηλθον ακριδες εις την γην και εδοθη αυταις εξουσια ως εχουσιν εξουσιαν οι σκορπιοι της γης
And out of the smoke came forth locusts upon the earth; and power was given to them, such power as the scorpions of the earth possess.
4 και ερρεθη αυταις ινα μη αδικησωσιν τον χορτον της γης ουδε παν χλωρον ουδε παν δενδρον ει μη τους ανθρωπους οιτινες ουκ εχουσιν την σφραγιδα του θεου επι των μετωπων αυτων
And it was told them, Hurt not the grass of the earth, nor any herb, nor any tree, but only those men who have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
5 και εδοθη αυταις ινα μη αποκτεινωσιν αυτους αλλ ινα βασανισθωσιν μηνας πεντε και ο βασανισμος αυτων ως βασανισμος σκορπιου οταν παιση ανθρωπον
And it was given them in charge that they should not kill these men outright, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment is as the torment of a scorpion when he striketh a man.
6 και εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις ζητησουσιν οι ανθρωποι τον θανατον και ου μη ευρησουσιν αυτον και επιθυμησουσιν αποθανειν και φευξεται απ αυτων ο θανατος
And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall earnestly desire to die, and death shall fly from them.
7 και τα ομοιωματα των ακριδων ομοια ιπποις ητοιμασμενοις εις πολεμον και επι τας κεφαλας αυτων ως στεφανοι ομοιοι χρυσιω και τα προσωπα αυτων ως προσωπα ανθρωπων
And the figures of the locusts were like horses equipped for war; and upon their heads there were as crowns, like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
8 και ειχον τριχας ως τριχας γυναικων και οι οδοντες αυτων ως λεοντων ησαν
And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were like the teeth of lions.
9 και ειχον θωρακας ως θωρακας σιδηρους και η φωνη των πτερυγων αυτων ως φωνη αρματων ιππων πολλων τρεχοντων εις πολεμον
And they had breastplates, as breastplates of iron: and the sound of their wings was as the rumbling of chariots of many horses rushing to battle.
10 και εχουσιν ουρας ομοιας σκορπιοις και κεντρα και εν ταις ουραις αυτων εξουσιαν [ εχουσιν ] του αδικησαι τους ανθρωπους μηνας πεντε
And they had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and they had power to hurt men five months.
11 εχουσιν βασιλεα επ αυτων [ τον ] αγγελον της αβυσσου ονομα αυτω εβραιστι αβαδδων εν δε τη ελληνικη ονομα εχει απολλυων (Abyssos )
And they had over them a king, the angel of the abyss of hell, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Appollyon. (Abyssos )
12 η ουαι η μια απηλθεν ιδου ερχονται ετι δυο ουαι μετα ταυτα
One woe is past; and, behold, there are coming yet two woes after these.
13 και ο εκτος αγγελος εσαλπισεν και ηκουσα φωνην μιαν εκ των τεσσαρων κερατων του θυσιαστηριου του χρυσου του ενωπιον του θεου
And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a great voice from the four horns of the altar of gold which is before God,
14 λεγοντος τω εκτω αγγελω ο εχων την σαλπιγγα λυσον τους τεσσαρας αγγελους τους δεδεμενους επι τω ποταμω τω μεγαλω ευφρατη
saying to the sixth angel who held the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound at the great river Euphrates.
15 και ελυθησαν οι τεσσαρες αγγελοι οι ητοιμασμενοι εις την ωραν και [ εις ] την ημεραν και μηνα και ενιαυτον ινα αποκτεινωσιν το τριτον των ανθρωπων
And the four angels were loosed, who were ready at the hour, and day, and month, and year, to kill the third part of mankind.
16 και ο αριθμος των στρατευματων του ιππου [ δυο ] μυριαδες μυριαδων ηκουσα τον αριθμον αυτων
And the number of the armies of cavalry was two myriads of myriads and I heard the number of them.
17 [ και ] ουτως ειδον τους ιππους εν τη ορασει και τους καθημενους επ αυτων εχοντας θωρακας πυρινους και υακινθινους και θειωδεις και αι κεφαλαι των ιππων ως κεφαλαι λεοντων και εκ των στοματων αυτων εκπορευεται πυρ και καπνος και θειον
And in this manner saw I the horses in the vision, and those who were mounted upon them, having breastplates of the colour of fire, and jacinth, and sulphur; and the horses’ heads were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths proceeded fire and smoke and brimstone.
18 απο των τριων πληγων τουτων απεκτανθησαν το τριτον των ανθρωπων εκ του πυρος και του καπνου και του θειου του εκπορευομενου εκ των στοματων αυτων
By these three were slain the third part of mankind, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the sulphur, which proceeded out of their mouths.
19 η γαρ εξουσια των ιππων εν τω στοματι αυτων εστιν και εν ταις ουραις αυτων αι γαρ ουραι αυτων ομοιαι οφεσιν εχουσαι κεφαλας και εν αυταις αδικουσιν
For their powers are in their mouth, and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads, and with them they do hurt.
20 και οι λοιποι των ανθρωπων οι ουκ απεκτανθησαν εν ταις πληγαις ταυταις ου μετενοησαν εκ των εργων των χειρων αυτων ινα μη προσκυνησωσιν τα δαιμονια και τα ειδωλα τα χρυσα και τα αργυρα και τα χαλκα και τα λιθινα και τα ξυλινα α ουτε βλεπειν δυναται ουτε ακουειν ουτε περιπατειν
And the residue of mankind, who were not slain by these plagues, repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of wood, and of stone: which can neither see nor hear, nor walk:
21 και ου μετενοησαν εκ των φονων αυτων ουτε εκ των φαρμακειων αυτων ουτε εκ της πορνειας αυτων ουτε εκ των κλεμματων αυτων
and they repented not of their murders, nor of their magical arts, nor of their whoredom, nor of their thefts.
