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 g12)
The fifth angel blew his trumpet; and I saw a Star which had fallen from Heaven to the earth; and to him was given the key of the depths of the bottomless pit, (Abyssos g12)
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 g12)
and he opened the depths of the bottomless pit. And smoke came up out of the pit resembling the smoke of a vast furnace, so that the sun was darkened, and the air also, by reason of the smoke of the pit. (Abyssos g12)
3 Yon bann krikèt vèt soti nan lafimen an, yo mache ale toupatou sou latè. Yo te ba yo menm pouvwa ak eskòpyon.
And from the midst of the smoke there came locusts on to the earth, and power was given to them resembling the power which earthly scorpions possess.
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 they were forbidden to injure the herbage of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree. They were only to injure human beings--those who have not the seal of God on 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.
Their mission was not to kill, but to cause awful agony for five months; and this agony was like that which a scorpion inflicts when it stings 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 at that time people will seek death, but will by no possibility find it, and will long to die, but death evades 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.
The appearance of the locusts was like that of horses equipped for war. On their heads they had wreaths which looked like gold.
8 Yo te gen cheve sou tèt yo tankou cheve fi. Dan yo menm te tankou dan lyon.
Their faces seemed human and they had hair like women's hair, but their teeth resembled those 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.
They had breast-plates which seemed to be made of steel; and the noise caused by their wings was like that of a vast number of horses and chariots hurrying 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.
They had tails like those of scorpions, and also stings; and in their tails lay their power of injuring mankind for 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 g12)
The locusts had a king over them--the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is 'Abaddon,' while in the Greek he is called 'Apollyon.' (Abyssos g12)
12 Premie malè a te pase. Te gen de (2) lòt malè ankò ki te gen pou vini apre sa.
The first woe is past; two other woes have still to come.
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.
The sixth angel blew his trumpet; and I heard a single voice speaking from among the horns of the golden incense altar which is in the presence of 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.
It said to the sixth angel--the angel who had the trumpet, "Set at liberty the four angels who are prisoners near 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 angels who had been kept in readiness for that hour, day, month, and year, were set at liberty, so that they might kill a third part of mankind.
16 Yo di m' kantite sòlda sou chwal ki te genyen: Te gen desan milyon (200.000.000).
The number of the cavalry was two hundred millions; I heard their number.
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 this was the appearance of the horses which I saw in my vision--and of their riders. The body-armour of the riders was red, blue and yellow; and the horses' heads were shaped like the heads of lions, while from their mouths there came fire and smoke and sulphur.
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 a third part of mankind were destroyed--by the fire and the smoke, and by the sulphur which came from 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 power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails; their tails being like serpents, and having heads, and it is with them that they inflict injury.
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.
But the rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues, did not even then repent and leave the things they had made, so as to cease worshipping the demons, and the idols of gold and silver, bronze, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear, nor move.
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.
Nor did they repent of their murders, their practice of magic, their fornication, or their thefts.
