Apocalypsis 9
1 et quintus angelus tuba cecinit et vidi stellam de caelo cecidisse in terram et data est illi 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 exierunt lucustae 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 faenum terrae neque omne viride neque omnem arborem nisi tantum homines qui non habent signum Dei in frontibus
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 cruciarentur 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 ipsis
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 lucustarum similes equis paratis in proelium et super capita earum tamquam coronae similes auro et facies earum sicut 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 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 in caudis earum 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 et latine habet 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 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 unum ex 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 Eufrate
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 milies dena milia 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 habentes loricas igneas et hyacinthinas et sulphureas et capita equorum erant tamquam capita leonum et de ore ipsorum 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 ab his tribus plagis occisa est tertia pars hominum de igne et fumo et sulphure qui procedebat ex 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 illorum 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 paenitentiam egerunt de operibus manuum suarum ut non adorarent daemonia et simulacra 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 paenitentiam 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.
