Αποκαλυψις Ιωαννου 9

1 Καὶ ὁ πέμπτος ἄγγελος ἐσάλπισεν, καὶ εἶδον ἀστέρα ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ πεπτωκότα εἰς τὴν γῆν, καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ ἡ κλεὶς τοῦ φρέατος τῆς ἀβύσσου, (Abyssos g12)

The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to earth, and the star was given the key to the pit of the abyss. (Abyssos g12)

2 καὶ ἤνοιξεν τὸ φρέαρ τῆς ἀβύσσου· καὶ ἀνέβη καπνὸς ἐκ τοῦ φρέατος ὡς καπνὸς καμίνου (μεγάλης, *NK(o)*) καὶ (ἐσκοτώθη *N(k)O*) ὁ ἥλιος καὶ ὁ ἀὴρ ἐκ τοῦ καπνοῦ τοῦ φρέατος. (Abyssos g12)

He opened the pit of the abyss, and from the pit rose smoke like the smoke of a burning furnace. The sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the pit. (Abyssos g12)

3 καὶ ἐκ τοῦ καπνοῦ ἐξῆλθον ἀκρίδες εἰς τὴν γῆν, καὶ ἐδόθη αὐταῖς ἐξουσία, ὡς ἔχουσιν ἐξουσίαν οἱ σκορπίοι τῆς γῆς.

Then out of the smoke locusts descended upon the earth, and they were given power like that of the scorpions of the earth.

4 καὶ ἐρρέθη αὐταῖς ἵνα μὴ (ἀδικήσουσιν *N(k)O*) τὸν χόρτον τῆς γῆς οὐδὲ πᾶν χλωρὸν οὐδὲ πᾶν δένδρον, εἰ μὴ τοὺς ἀνθρώπους (μόνους *k*) οἵτινες οὐκ ἔχουσιν τὴν σφραγῖδα τοῦ θεοῦ ἐπὶ τῶν μετώπων (αὐτῶν. *k*)

They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green thing or any tree, but only those who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.

5 καὶ ἐδόθη (αὐτοῖς *N(k)O*) ἵνα μὴ ἀποκτείνωσιν αὐτούς, ἀλλ᾽ ἵνα (βασανισθήσονται *N(k)O*) μῆνας πέντε, καὶ ὁ βασανισμὸς αὐτῶν ὡς βασανισμὸς σκορπίου ὅταν παίσῃ ἄνθρωπον.

They were permitted to torment them for five months, but not to kill them, and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings someone.

6 Καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις ζητήσουσιν οἱ ἄνθρωποι τὸν θάνατον καὶ οὐ μὴ εὑρήσουσιν αὐτόν· καὶ ἐπιθυμήσουσιν ἀποθανεῖν, καὶ (φεύγει *N(k)O*) ὁ θάνατος ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν.

In those days people will seek death but will certainly not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them.

7 καὶ τὰ ὁμοιώματα τῶν ἀκρίδων ὅμοια ἵπποις ἡτοιμασμένοις εἰς πόλεμον, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν ὡς στέφανοι ὅμοιοι (χρυσῷ, *NK(o)*) καὶ τὰ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν ὡς πρόσωπα ἀνθρώπων.

The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle, and on their heads they wore something like golden crowns; their faces were like human faces.

8 καὶ εἶχον τρίχας ὡς τρίχας γυναικῶν, καὶ οἱ ὀδόντες αὐτῶν ὡς λεόντων ἦσαν.

They had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were like the teeth of lions.

9 καὶ εἶχον θώρακας ὡς θώρακας σιδηροῦς, καὶ ἡ φωνὴ τῶν πτερύγων αὐτῶν ὡς φωνὴ ἁρμάτων ἵππων πολλῶν τρεχόντων εἰς πόλεμον.

They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of many horses and chariots rushing into battle.

10 καὶ ἔχουσιν οὐρὰς ὁμοίας σκορπίοις καὶ κέντρα (ἦν, *k*) καὶ ἐν ταῖς οὐραῖς αὐτῶν (καὶ *k*) ἡ (ἐξουσία *NK(o)*) (ἔχουσιν *O*) (αὐτῶν *NK(O)*) ἀδικῆσαι τοὺς ἀνθρώπους μῆνας πέντε.

They have tails and stingers like scorpions, and in their tails they have the power to harm people for five months.

11 (καὶ *k*) (ἔχουσιν *NK(o)*) ἐπ᾽ αὐτῶν βασιλέα τὸν ἄγγελον τῆς ἀβύσσου· ὄνομα αὐτῷ Ἑβραϊστὶ Ἀβαδδών, (καὶ *NK(o)*) ἐν τῇ Ἑλληνικῇ ὄνομα ἔχει Ἀπολλύων. (Abyssos g12)

They have as king over them the angel of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek his name is Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)

12 ἡ οὐαὶ ἡ μία ἀπῆλθεν· ἰδοὺ (ἔρχεται *N(k)O*) ἔτι δύο οὐαὶ μετὰ ταῦτα.

The first woe has passed. Behold, two woes are still to come after this.

13 Καὶ ὁ ἕκτος ἄγγελος ἐσάλπισεν, καὶ ἤκουσα φωνὴν μίαν ἐκ τῶν τεσσάρων κεράτων τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου τοῦ χρυσοῦ τοῦ ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ

Then the sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a single voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God

14 (λέγοντα *N(k)O*) τῷ ἕκτῳ ἀγγέλῳ (ὁ ἔχων *N(k)O*) τὴν σάλπιγγα· λῦσον τοὺς τέσσαρας ἀγγέλους τοὺς δεδεμένους ἐπὶ τῷ ποταμῷ τῷ μεγάλῳ Εὐφράτῃ.

saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.”

15 καὶ ἐλύθησαν οἱ τέσσαρες ἄγγελοι οἱ ἡτοιμασμένοι εἰς τὴν ὥραν καὶ (εἰς τὴν *o*) ἡμέραν καὶ μῆνα καὶ ἐνιαυτὸν ἵνα ἀποκτείνωσιν τὸ τρίτον τῶν ἀνθρώπων.

So the four angels who were prepared for this hour, day, month, and year were released to kill a third of mankind.

16 καὶ ὁ ἀριθμὸς τῶν στρατευμάτων τοῦ (ἱππικοῦ *NK(o)*) (δισμυριάδες δισμυριάδες *N(k)O*) μυριάδων· (καὶ *k*) ἤκουσα τὸν ἀριθμὸν αὐτῶν.

The number of the troops on horse was ten thousand times ten thousand; I heard their number.

17 Καὶ οὕτως εἶδον τοὺς ἵππους ἐν τῇ ὁράσει καὶ τοὺς καθημένους ἐπ᾽ αὐτῶν ἔχοντας θώρακας πυρίνους καὶ ὑακινθίνους καὶ θειώδεις. καὶ αἱ κεφαλαὶ τῶν ἵππων ὡς κεφαλαὶ λεόντων, καὶ ἐκ τῶν στομάτων αὐτῶν ἐκπορεύεται πῦρ καὶ καπνὸς καὶ θεῖον.

Now this is what the horses and their riders looked like in my vision: The riders had breastplates that were fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow. The heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and sulfur.

18 (ἀπὸ *N(k)O*) τῶν τριῶν (πληγῶν *NO*) τούτων ἀπεκτάνθησαν τὸ τρίτον τῶν ἀνθρώπων, (ἐκ *NK(o)*) τοῦ πυρὸς καὶ (ἐκ *k*) τοῦ καπνοῦ καὶ (ἐκ *k*) τοῦ θείου τοῦ ἐκπορευομένου ἐκ τῶν στομάτων αὐτῶν.

By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed—by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur that came out of the horses' mouths.

19 (ἡ *N(k)O*) γὰρ (ἐξουσία τῶν *N(k)O*) (ἵππων *NO*) ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν (ἐστιν *N(k)O*) καὶ ἐν ταῖς οὐραῖς αὐτῶν. αἱ γὰρ οὐραὶ αὐτῶν ὅμοιαι (ὄφεσιν *NK(o)*) ἔχουσαι κεφαλὰς καὶ ἐν αὐταῖς ἀδικοῦσιν.

For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails, because their tails have heads like serpents, and with them they inflict harm.

20 καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων, οἳ οὐκ ἀπεκτάνθησαν ἐν ταῖς πληγαῖς ταύταις, (οὐδὲ *N(k)(o)*) μετενόησαν ἐκ τῶν ἔργων τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν, ἵνα μὴ (προσκυνήσουσιν *N(k)O*) τὰ δαιμόνια καὶ τὰ εἴδωλα τὰ χρυσᾶ καὶ τὰ ἀργυρᾶ καὶ τὰ χαλκᾶ καὶ τὰ λίθινα καὶ τὰ ξύλινα, ἃ οὔτε βλέπειν (δύνανται *N(k)O*) οὔτε ἀκούειν οὔτε περιπατεῖν,

The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent from the works of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons and idols of gold, silver, stone, and wood, which cannot see, hear, or walk.

21 καὶ οὐ μετενόησαν ἐκ τῶν φόνων αὐτῶν οὔτε ἐκ τῶν (φαρμάκων *N(k)O*) αὐτῶν οὔτε ἐκ τῆς πορνείας αὐτῶν οὔτε ἐκ τῶν κλεμμάτων αὐτῶν.

Nor did they repent of their murders, sorceries, fornication, or thefts.
