Revelasyon 9
1 Answit, senkyèm zanj lan te sone, e mwen te wè yon zetwal nan syèl la ki te tonbe sou tè a. Epi kle a fòs labim nan te bay a li menm. (Abyssos g12)
And the fifth Angel sounded the trumpet. And I saw upon the earth, a star that had fallen from heaven, and the key to the well of the abyss was given to him. (Abyssos g12)
2 Li te ouvri labim nan, e lafimen te sòti nan fòs la tankou lafimen a yon gwo founo. Solèy la avèk lè a te vin tounwa akoz lafimen ki sòti nan labim nan. (Abyssos g12)
And he opened the well of the abyss. And the smoke of the well ascended, like the smoke of a great furnace. And the sun and the air were obscured by the smoke of the well. (Abyssos g12)
3 Answit, krikèt te sòti nan lafimen an pou vini sou latè, epi yo te resevwa pouvwa, jan eskòpyon sou latè yo gen pouvwa a.
And locusts went forth from the smoke of the well into the earth. And power was given to them, like the power that the scorpions of the earth have.
4 Yo te di yo pou yo pa fè zèb latè yo mal, ni okenn bagay vèt, ni okenn pyebwa, men sèlman moun ki pa gen so Bondye a parèt sou fon yo.
And it was commanded of them that they must not harm the plants of the earth, nor anything green, nor any tree, but only those men who do not have the Seal of God upon their foreheads.
5 Konsa, yo pa t pèmèt yo touye pèsòn, men toumante yo pandan senk mwa. Epi toumant yo te tankou toumant a yon eskòpyon lè l pike yon moun.
And it was given to them that they would not kill them, but that they would torture them for five months. And their torture was like the torture of a scorpion, when he strikes a man.
6 Nan jou sa yo, moun va cheche lanmò, e yo p ap twouve l. Yo va anvi mouri e lanmò va sove ale kite yo.
And in those days, men will seek death and they will not find it. And they will desire to die, and death will flee from them.
7 Aparans a krikèt yo te tankou cheval ki prepare pou batay. Sou tèt yo te gen bagay tankou kouwòn an lò, e figi yo te tankou figi a moun.
And the likenesses of the locusts resembled horses prepared for battle. And upon their heads were something like crowns similar to gold. And their faces were like the faces of men.
8 Yo te gen cheve ki te tankou cheve a fanm, e dan yo te tankou dan lyon.
And they had hair like the hair of women. And their teeth were like the teeth of lions.
9 Yo te gen pwotèj lestonmak tankou pwotèj an fè, e bri a zèl yo te tankou bri cha a anpil cheval k ap kouri nan batay.
And they had breastplates like iron breastplates. And the noise of their wings was like the noise of many running horses, rushing to battle.
10 Yo gen ke tankou eskòpyon, ak pikan. Epi nan ke yo, te gen pouvwa pou fè moun mal pandan senk mwa.
And they had tails similar to scorpions. And there were stingers in their tails, and these had the power to harm men for five months.
11 Yo gen kòm wa sou yo, zanj labim nan. Non li an Ebre se Abaddon, e an Grèk, li rele Apollon. (Abyssos g12)
And they had over them a king, the Angel of the abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Doom; in Greek, Destroyer; in Latin, Exterminator. (Abyssos g12)
12 Premye malè a te gen tan fin pase. Gade byen, de malè ap toujou vini apre bagay sa yo.
One woe has gone out, but behold, there are still two woes approaching afterward.
13 Answit, sizyèm zanj lan te sone. Mwen te tande yon vwa ki sòti nan kat kòn lotèl an lò ki devan Bondye a.
And the sixth Angel sounded the trumpet. And I heard a lone voice from the four horns of the golden altar, which is before the eyes of God,
14 Youn t ap di a sizyèm zanj ki te gen twonpèt la: “Lage kat zanj ki mare bò kote gwo Larivyè Euphrate la.”
saying to the sixth Angel who had the trumpet: “Release the four Angels who were bound at the great river Euphrates.”
15 Epi kat zanj yo, ki te prepare ojis pou lè a, mwa a, jou ak lane a, te lage pou yo ta kapab touye yon tyè nan limanite.
And the four Angels were released, who had been prepared for that hour, and day, and month, and year, in order to kill one third part of men.
16 Kantite lame ki te sou cheval yo te de-san-milyon. Mwen te tande kantite yo a.
And the number of the army of horsemen was two hundred million. For I heard their number.
17 Konsa, mwen te wè nan vizyon an, cheval ak sila ki te chita sou yo a. Chevalye yo te gen pwotèj lestomak menm koulè ak dife, jasent, ak souf, e tèt cheval yo tankou tèt lyon. E se dife, lafimen ak souf ki t ap sòti nan bouch yo.
And I also saw the horses in the vision. And those who were sitting upon them had breastplates of fire and hyacinth and sulphur. And the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions. And from their mouths proceeded fire and smoke and sulphur.
18 Yon tyè limanite te vin touye pa twa fleyo sa yo; pa dife, lafimen, ak souf ki t ap sòti nan bouch yo a.
And one third part of men were slain by these three afflictions: by the fire and by the smoke and by the sulphur, which proceeded from their mouths.
19 Paske pouvwa a cheval yo se nan bouch yo ak nan ke yo. Paske ke yo tankou sèpan e yo gen tèt; e avèk yo, yo fè mal yo.
For the power of these horses is in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails resemble serpents, having heads; and it is with these that they cause harm.
20 Rès limanite a ki pa t touye pa fleyo sa yo, pa t repanti de zèv a men yo, pou yo pa adore demon, ak zidòl an lò, an ajan, an bwonz, an wòch, ak bwa, ki pa kapab ni wè, ni tande, ni mache yo.
And the rest of men, who were not slain by these afflictions, did not repent from the works of their hands, so that they would not worship demons, or idols of gold and silver and brass and stone and wood, which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk.
21 Ni yo pa t repanti nan asasine moun, ni nan fè wanga, ni imoralite, ni vòl yo te fè yo.
And they did not repent from their murders, nor from their drugs, nor from their fornication, nor from their thefts.
