Hoikeana 9
1 A PUHI ae la ka anela elima, a ike aku la au i kekahi hoku i haule, mai ka lani mai a i ka honua. A ua haawiia mai nana, ke ki o ka lua hohonu. (Abyssos g12)
The fifth angel blew his trumpet. Then I saw [an evil angel. He was like] a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. He was given {[Someone] gave him} the key to the shaft [that descended] ([to] the underworld/[to] the deep dark pit). (Abyssos g12)
2 Wehe ae la oia i ka lua hohonu; a punohu aku la ka uahi, mai ka lua aku, e like me ka uahi o ka umu nui hoohehee hao; pouli iho la ka la a me ka lewa no ka uahi o ka lua. (Abyssos g12)
When he opened that shaft, smoke arose from it like smoke from a huge burning furnace. The smoke prevented [anyone from seeing] the sky and the light of the sun. (Abyssos g12)
3 A mai loko mai o ka uahi i hele mai ai maluna o ka honua na uhini; a ua haawiia mai na lakou ka mana, e like me ka mana o na moohueloawa o ka honua.
Locusts came out of the smoke onto the earth. [They were given] {[God] gave them} power [to sting people], like scorpions [sting people].
4 A ua kauohaia mai lakou, aole e hana ino i ka mauu o ka honua, aole hoi i kekahi mea uliuli, aole hoi i kekahi laau; i na kanaka wale no, i ka poe aole i loaa ka hoailona o ke Akua ma ko lakou lae.
[God] told the locusts that they should not harm grass, nor any plants, nor any tree. [God said that they should harm only] those people who did not have a mark on the forehead [to show that they belonged to God].
5 Ua haawiia mai, aole e pepehi, aka, e hoomainoino ia lakou i na malama elima. A o ko lakou eha, ua like ia me ka eha a ka moohueloawa, ke hahau mai ia i ke kanaka.
[God] did not allow the locusts to kill those people. Instead, [he] allowed them to continue torturing people for five months. When they tortured people, the pain those people felt was like the pain a scorpion causes when it stings someone.
6 Ia mau la e imi no na kanaka i ka make, aole e loaa; a e ake no lakou e make, a e holo no ka make mai o lakou aku.
During the time [when the locusts torture rebellious people, the pain will be so bad that] people will want to find a way to die, but they will not be able to [PRS].
7 A o ke ano o na uhini, ua like ia me na lio i makaukau i ke kaua; a ma ko lakou poo, he mea e like me ka leialii gula, a o ko lakou mau maka ua like me na maka kanaka.
The locusts looked like horses that are ready for battle. They had on their heads what looked like golden crowns. Their faces were like the faces of people.
8 A he lauoho ko lakou, ua like hoi me ka lauoho wahine, a o ko lakou niho, ua like me ko ka liona.
They had [long] hair like the [long] hair of women. Their teeth were [strong], like lions’ teeth.
9 He paleumauma no hoi ko lakou, me he paleumauma hao la ke ano. A o ke kani ana o ko lakou poe eheu, ua like ia me ka halulu ana o na kaakaua lio nui, e holo ana i ke kaua.
They wore metal breastplates. [When they were flying], their wings made a noise like the roar when many horses [pull chariots as they are] rushing into battle.
10 He huelo ko lakou e like me ko ka moohueloawa, a he mea ooi ma ko lakou huelo: a he mana ko lakou e hoomainoino i kanaka no na malama elima.
They had tails like scorpions have. With their tails they stung [people] for five months.
11 He alii no hoi ko lakou, oia no ka anela o ka lua hohonu. A o kona inoa Hebera, o Abadona, a ma ka olelo Helene, o Apoluona kona inoa. (Abyssos g12)
The king who ruled over them was the angel of the underworld. His name in the Hebrew language is Abaddon. In the Greek language it is Apollyon. [Both of] those names [mean ‘Destroyer’]. (Abyssos g12)
12 Ua hala kekahi auwe; aia hoi, elua auwe i koe mahope aku.
That was the end of the first terrible event. [Be aware that] two tragic events are still to come.
13 Puhi ae la ka anela aono, a lohe aku la au i ka leo, mai na kihi eha o ke kuahu gula mai, aia ma ke alo o ke Akua,
The sixth angel blew his trumpet. Then I heard a voice from the four corners of the golden altar that is in God’s presence.
14 I mai la i ka anela aono e paa ana i ka pu, E wehe oe i na anela eha i hikiiia ma ka muliwai nui ma Euperate.
It was saying to the sixth angel, the one who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels whom [I] have bound at the great river Euphrates!”
15 Kuuia aku la ua mau anela la eha, ka poe i makaukau no ka hora, a no ka la, a no ka malama, a no ka makahiki, i pepehi aku lakou i ka hapakolu o na Kanaka.
The four angels were released, those who had been {[He] released the four angels, whom [God] had} kept ready for that [exact] hour of that day, of that month, of that year. They were released {[He] released them} in order that they might enable [their soldiers to] kill a third of the [rebellious] people.
16 A o ka huina helu o na puali holohololio, elua haneri tausani o na tausani lakou. A lohe au i ko lakou heluia ana.
The number of the soldiers riding on horses who did that was 200 million. I heard [someone say] how many there were.
17 A ike aku la au ma ka hihio, i na lio a me ka poe i noho iluna o lakou, he ahi no ko lakou paleumauma, a he huakineto, a he luaipele. A o na poo o na lio, ua like me na poo liona; a mai loko mai o ko lakou waha i puka mai ai ke ahi a me ka uahi a me ka luaipele.
In the vision I saw what the horses and the [beings] that rode them looked like. They [wore] breastplates that were [red] like fire, [dusky blue] like smoke, and [yellow] like sulfur. The heads of the horses were like the heads of lions. From their mouths came fire, smoke, and [fumes of burning] sulfur.
18 I keia mau mea ino ekolu, i make ai ka hapakolu o kanaka, i ke ahi, a i ka uahi a me ka luaipele i puka mai iwaho o ko lakou waha.
Those three things—the fire, the smoke, and the [burning] sulfur from [the horses’] mouths—killed a third of the [rebellious] people.
19 O ka mana o ia poe lio, aia ma ko lakou waha a me ko lakou huelo; no ka mea, ua like ko lakou huelo me na nahesa, a he poo ko lakou, a oia ko lakou mea e hooeha aku ai.
The horses had power with their mouths and with their tails. Their tails have heads like snakes by which they harm people.
20 A o kanaka i koe, ka poe i make ole i keia mau mea ino, aole lakou i mihi i na hana a ko lakou mau lima, i ole ai lakou e hoomana aku i na daimonio, a me na'kua kii, o ke gula, a me ke kala, a me ke keleawe, a me ka pohaku, a me ka laau; na mea aole hiki ke nana, aole hoi ke lohe, aole hoi ke hele.
The rest of the [rebellious] people, those who were not killed by these plagues of [fire and smoke and burning sulfur], did not turn from their sinful behavior. [They did not stop worshipping] the idols that they had made with their own hands. They did not stop worshipping demons and idols [that were made] of gold, of silver, of bronze, of stone, and of wood, [even though they are idols] that can neither see nor hear nor walk.
21 Aole hoi lakou i mihi i ko lakou pepehi kanaka ana, aole hoi i ko lakou pule anaana, aole hoi i ko lakou moe kolohe, aole hoi i ko lakou aihue.
They did not stop murdering people, or practicing sorcery, or acting in sexually immoral ways, or stealing [things].
