< Revelasyon 9 >
1 Apre sa, senkièm zanj lan kònen klewon l' lan. Mwen wè yon zetwal soti nan sièl la tonbe sou latè. Yo ba l' kle pou louvri pi ki mennen desann nan gwo twou san fon an. (Abyssos )
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 )
2 Zetwal la louvri pi ki mennen nan gwo twou san fon an. Yon gwo lafimen soti ladan l', tankou lafimen yon gwo fou k'ap boule. Lafimen ki t'ap soti nan pi a bouche solèy la. Sièl la vin tou nwa. (Abyssos )
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 )
3 Yon bann krikèt vèt soti nan lafimen an, yo mache ale toupatou sou latè. Yo te ba yo menm pouvwa ak eskòpyon.
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 Yo te di yo pou yo pa t' fè malè sou okenn zèb, ni sou okenn piebwa ni sou okenn lòt plant. Se sou moun sèlman pou yo te fè malè. Epi se pa sou tout moun non, sèlman sou moun ki pa t' pote mak letanp Bondye a sou fwon yo.
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 Krikèt yo pa t' gen dwa touye moun sa yo. Men, pandan senk mwa yo te gen dwa fè yo soufri. Krikèt yo fè moun yo soufri tankou si se eskòpyon ki te mòde yo.
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 Pandan senk mwa sa yo, moun va chache lanmò, men yo p'ap jwenn lanmò. Y'a anvi mouri, men lanmò va pase lwen yo.
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 Krikèt yo te sanble ak chwal ki pare pou al nan batay. Sou tèt yo chak te gen yon bagay ki sanble ak yon kouwòn lò. Figi yo menm te tankou figi moun.
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 Yo te gen cheve sou tèt yo tankou cheve fi. Dan yo menm te tankou dan lyon.
and, they had hair, as the hair of women, and, their teeth, were, as of lions,
9 Sou lestonmak yo, yo te gen yon plak an fè pou pwoteje yo. Lè yo bat zèl yo, yo fè bri tankou yon bann kabwèt chwal ki pral nan batay.
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 Yo gen menm ke ak eskòpyon, ak yon pikan nan pwent ke a. Se avèk ke yo yo te gen pouvwa fè moun mechanste pandan senk mwa.
and they have tails like unto scorpions, and stings, and, in their tails, is their licence to injure men five months.
11 Yo te gen yon wa alatèt yo. Se zanj gwo twou san fon an. Nan lang ebre yo rele l': Abadon. Nan lang grèk yo rele l': Apolyon, ki vle di: moun k'ap krase brize a. (Abyssos )
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 )
12 Premie malè a te pase. Te gen de (2) lòt malè ankò ki te gen pou vini apre sa.
The first, Woe, hath passed away, lo! there come, yet, two, Woes, after these things.
13 Lè sa a, sizièm zanj lan kònen klewon l' lan. Mwen tande yon vwa ki t'ap soti nan kat kwen lotèl an lò ki te devan Bondye a.
And, the sixth messenger, sounded; and I heard one voice, from among the horns of the altar of gold which is before God,
14 Vwa a pale ak sizièm zanj ki te kenbe klewon an. Li di li konsa: Lage kat zanj ki mare nan chenn bò gwo larivyè Lefrat la.
saying unto the sixth messenger, who was holding the trumpet—Loose the four messengers, who are bound at the great river Euphrates.
15 Yo lage kat zanj yo. Yo te pare yo pou sa menm, pou lè sa a, pou jou sa a, nan mwa sa a, nan lanne sa a, pou yo te ka touye yon moun sou chak twa moun ki sou latè.
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 Yo di m' kantite sòlda sou chwal ki te genyen: Te gen desan milyon (200.000.000).
And, the number of the armies of the horsemen, was twice ten thousand times ten thousand—I heard the number of them.
17 Men ki jan mwen te wè chwal yo ak kavalie yo nan vizyon an: Kavalie yo te gen yon kalite chemiz an fè pou pwoteje lestonmak yo. Chemiz yo te wouj kou dife, ble kou digo, jòn kou safran. Tèt chwal yo menm te tankou tèt lyon. Dife ansanm ak lafimen epi souf t'ap soti nan bouch yo.
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 Twa bagay sa yo ki t'ap soti nan bouch chwal yo, se te twa kalamite ki te touye yon moun sou chak twa moun sou latè.
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 Paske se nan bouch yo chwal yo te gen tout pouvwa sa a ansanm ak nan ke yo. Baton ke yo menm te sanble ak sèpan: yo te gen yon tèt pou yo te fè moun mechanste.
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 Malgre sa, rès moun sou latè yo, sa ki pa t' mouri anba kalamite sa yo, pa t' sispann adore Satan ak zidòl fèt an lò, an ajan, an bwonz, an wòch oswa an bwa, zidòl ki pa ka wè, ki pa ka tande, ki pa ka mache.
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 Wi, atousa, moun sa yo pa t' chanje jan yo t'ap viv la, yo pa t' sispann touye moun, fè maji, lage kò yo nan imoralite ak vòlò zafè moun.
Neither repented they of their murders, or of their sorceries, or of their lewdnesses, or of their thefts.
