Apocalypsis 9
1 Et quintus Angelus tuba cecinit: et vidi stellam de caelo cecidisse in terram, et data est ei clavis putei abyssi. (Abyssos g12)
The fifth angel blew his trumpet. I watched a star fall from heaven to earth. He was given the key to the opening of the Abyss. (Abyssos g12)
2 Et aperuit puteum abyssi: et ascendit fumus putei, sicut fumus fornacis magnae: et obscuratus est sol, et aer de fumo putei: (Abyssos g12)
He opened the entrance to the Abyss, and smoke came up out of the Abyss like the smoke of a huge furnace. The sun and the atmosphere became dark because of the smoke from the Abyss. (Abyssos g12)
3 Et de fumo putei exierunt locustae in terram, et data est illis potestas, sicut habent potestatem scorpiones terrae:
Locusts came out of the smoke onto the earth, and they were given power like that possessed by scorpions.
4 et praeceptum est illis ne laederent foenum terrae, neque omne viride, neque omnem arborem: nisi tantum homines, qui non habent signum Dei in frontibus suis.
They were told not to harm the grass or any vegetation or any trees, only those who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
5 Et datum est illis ne occiderent eos: sed ut cruciarent mensibus quinque: et cruciatus eorum, ut cruciatus scorpii cum percutit hominem.
They were not allowed to kill, but they could torture these people for five months. The torture was like that of a scorpion when it stings someone.
6 Et in diebus illis quaerent homines mortem, et non invenient eam: et desiderabunt mori, et fugiet mors ab eis.
During that time people will look for death, but won't find it; they will want to die, but death will run away from them!
7 Et similitudines locustarum, similes equis paratis in proelium: et super capita earum tamquam coronae similes auro: et facies earum tamquam facies hominum.
The locusts looked like war-horses. They wore what seemed to be golden crowns on their heads, and their faces looked human.
8 Et habebant capillos sicut capillos mulierum: et dentes earum, sicut dentes leonum erant:
They had long hair like women and had teeth like lions.
9 et habebant loricas sicut loricas ferreas, et vox alarum earum sicut vox curruum equorum multorum currentium in bellum:
Their breastplates looked like they were made of iron, and the noise made by their wings sounded like many horses and chariots racing into battle.
10 et habebant caudas similes scorpionum, et aculei erant in caudis earum: et potestas earum nocere hominibus mensibus quinque:
They had tails like scorpions, complete with stingers. They had the power to hurt people for five months with their tails.
11 et habebant super se regem angelum abyssi, cui nomen Hebraice Abaddon, Graece autem Apollyon, Latine habens nomen Exterminans. (Abyssos g12)
Ruling over them as their king was the angel of the Abyss who is called Abaddon in Hebrew and Apollyon in Greek. (Abyssos g12)
12 Vae unum abiit, et ecce veniunt adhuc duo vae post haec.
The first Disaster is over, but there are still two more to come.
13 Et sextus Angelus tuba cecinit: et audivi vocem unam ex quattuor cornibus altaris aurei, quod est ante oculos Dei,
The sixth angel blew his trumpet. I heard a voice come from the horns of the golden altar that stands in front of God
14 dicentem sexto Angelo, qui habebat tubam: Solve quattuor angelos, qui alligati sunt in flumine magno Euphrate.
speaking to the sixth angel that had the trumpet: “Release the four angels that are tied up beside the great River Euphrates.”
15 Et soluti sunt quattuor Angeli, qui parati erant in horam, et diem, et mensem, et annum: ut occiderent tertiam partem hominum.
The four angels who had been kept ready for this particular hour, day, month and year were released to kill one third of humanity.
16 Et numerus equestris exercitus vicies millies dena millia. Et audivi numerum eorum.
I was told the number of the army of soldiers on horseback: it was 200 million.
17 Et ita vidi equos in visione: et qui sedebant super eos, habebant loricas igneas, et hyacinthinas, et sulphureas, et capita equorum erant tamquam capita leonum: et de ore eorum procedit ignis, et fumus, et sulphur.
In my vision I saw the horses and their riders who wore breastplates as red as fire, and dark blue and yellow. The heads of the horses looked like lions, and fire and smoke and sulfur streamed out of their mouths.
18 Et ab his tribus plagis occisa est tertia pars hominum de igne, et de fumo, et sulphure, quae procedebant de ore ipsorum.
One third of humanity was killed by these three plagues, by the fire and smoke and sulfur streaming out of their mouths.
19 Potestas enim equorum in ore eorum est, et in caudis eorum. nam caudae eorum similes serpentibus, habentes capita: et in his nocent.
The horses' power was in their tails as well as their mouths, for their tails were like serpents' heads that they used to hurt people.
20 Et ceteri homines, qui non sunt occisi in his plagis, neque poenitentiam egerunt de operibus manuum suarum, ut non adorarent daemonia, et simulachra aurea, et argentea, et aerea, et lapidea, et lignea, quae neque videre possunt, neque audire, neque ambulare,
But the rest of humanity who were not killed by these plagues did not repent of what they were doing. They did not stop worshiping demons and idols of gold, silver, bronze, and stone—which can't see or hear or walk!
21 et non egerunt poenitentiam ab homicidiis suis, neque a veneficiis suis, neque a fornicatione sua, neque a furtis suis.
They did not repent of their murders, their witchcraft, their sexual sins, or their thefts.
