Apokalypsy 9
1 Nitioke i anjely faha limey, le nitreako ty vasiañe nigodoiñe an-tane eo hirik’ andindìñe ey, vaho natolotse aze ty lahin-dakilè’ i vovon-tsikeokeokey. (Abyssos g12)
Then the fifth angel blew; and I saw a Star that had fallen upon the earth from the heavens, and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. (Abyssos g12)
2 Sinoka’e i tsikeokeokey, le niforoake hirik’ an-koboñ’ao ty hatoeñe hoe boak’ an-toñake jabajaba. Nimaie’ i hatoeñe naporoa’ i Tsikeokeokeiy i àndroy naho i tiokey. (Abyssos g12)
He opened the bottomless pit, and from the pit rose a smoke like the smoke of a great furnace. The sun and the air grew dark because of the smoke from the pit. (Abyssos g12)
3 Le niboak’ amy hatoeñey mb’an-tane atoy ty valala vaho nitoloran-dily hambañe ami’ty lily amo halafia’ ty tane toio.
Out of the smoke locusts descended upon the earth, and they received the same power as that possessed by scorpions.
4 Nitsaraeñe te tsy ho joieñe ty ahets’ an-tane atoy, ndra ze raha antsetra naho ze hatae, fa ondaty tsy minday i vilon’ Añaharey an-dahara’e eo avao.
They were told not to harm the grass, or any plant, or any tree, but only those who have not ‘the seal of God upon their foreheads.’
5 Le nimean-dily iereo tsy hanjamañe iareo, fa t’ie hampisoañeñe lime volañe. Ty fanaintaiña’ iareo le ty fanaintaiña’ ty kalengo mamantike ondaty.
Yet they were not allowed to kill them, but it was ordered that those men should be tortured for five months. Their torture was like the torture caused by a scorpion when it stings a man.
6 Hipay hikenkañe ondatio amy andro rezay, fe tsy hahaoniñe; hisalala hibanìtse, fe handifiha’ ty havilasy.
In those days men ‘will seek Death and will not find it’; They will long to die, but Death flees from them.
7 Nanahake soavala veka’e hialy ty vinta’ i valala rey, naho hoe sabakam-bolamena ty an-doha’ iareo vaho nanahake tarehe ondaty ty tarehe’ iareo.
In appearance the locusts were like horses equipped for battle. On their heads there were what appeared to be crowns that shone like gold, their faces resembled human faces,
8 Nanahake maroin-drakemba ty volo’ iareo, vaho hoe nifen-diona ty nife’ iareo.
and they had hair like the hair of a woman, their teeth were like lions’ teeth,
9 Hoe fikalañan’ arañañe viñe o fikala’ iareoo, le nanahake ty fikorokodoin-tsoavalan-tsarete maro mioratse mb’añ’aly ty fikofaokofaon’ ela’ iareo.
and they had what seemed to be iron breastplates, while the noise of their wings was like the noise of chariots drawn by many horses, galloping into battle.
10 Hambañe amo kalengoo ty solo’ iareo naho minipoke; toe aman-dily hañehetse ondaty añate’ ty lime volañe o solo’ iareoo.
They have tails like scorpions, and stings, and in their tails lies their power to harm men for five months.
11 Amam-panjaka mifehe iereo, ty anjeli’ i Tsikeokeokey: i Abadona ty añara’e ami’ty Hebreo, naho Apoliona ty añara’e ami’ty Grika. (Abyssos g12)
They have as their king the Angel of the bottomless pit, whose name, in Hebrew, is ‘Abaddon,’ while, in Greek, his name is ‘Apollyon’ (the Destroyer). (Abyssos g12)
12 Heneke i hankàñe raikey, Inao! fa hizo hankàñe roe henane zao.
The first Woe has passed; and still there are two Woes to follow!
13 Nitioke i anjely fah’ eneñey, le tsinanoko ty feo boak’ an-tsifa efa’ i kitrely volamena añatrefan’ Añaharey
Then the sixth angel blew; and I heard a voice proceeding from the corners of the golden altar that stood before God.
14 nanao ty hoe amy anjely fah’ eneñe nitintiñe i antsivaiy, Hahao i anjely efatse mirohy amy saka jabajaba Eofratay rey.
It spoke to the sixth angel — the angel with the trumpet — and said ‘Let loose the four angels that are in chains at the great river Euphrates.’
15 Le navotsotse ty anjely efatse nihentseñeñe ho ami’ty ora naho àndro naho volañe vaho taoñe, hanjamañe ty faha-telo’ ondatio.
Then the four angels, that were held in readiness for that hour and day and month and year, were let loose, to destroy a third of mankind.
16 Ro’arivo-hetse ty iam-piningi-tsoavala nirimboñe. Tsinanoko ty ia’ iareo.
The number of the hosts of horsemen was ten thousand times ten thousand, twice told; I heard their number.
17 Zao ty vinta’ o soavalao naho o mpiningitse ama’e nitreako amy aroñaroñeio: amañ’afo naho manga antetse vaho vaton-tsolifara o fikalañ’ araña’ iareoo; naho hoe lohan-diona ty loha’ o soavalao, naho miforoak’ am-bava’ iareo ty afo naho hatoeñe vaho solifara.
And this is what the horses and their riders appeared to be like in my vision: — They had breastplates of fire, blood-red and sulphurous, and the heads of the horses were like lions’ heads, while out of their mouths issue fire, and smoke, and sulphur.
18 Nanjamañe ty faha-telo’ ondaty an-tane atoy i telo rezay, i afoy naho i hatoeñey vaho i solifara niforoake boak’ am-bava’ iareoy.
Through these three Curses a third of mankind perished — because of the fire, and the smoke, and the sulphur that issued from their mouths;
19 Amy te am-bava’ o soavalao naho amo ohi’eo ty haozara’ iareo; fa hoe mereñe aman-doha’e, ty ohi’ iareo le irezay ty fijoia’ iareo.
for the power of the horses lies in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails are like snakes, with heads, and it is with them that they do harm.
20 Mbe tsy nisoloho amo satan-taña’ iareoo o sehanga’ ondaty tsy nizamane’ i angorosy rezaio; tsy nijihetse ami’ty filokolokoañe amo kokolampao naho amo samposampo volamena naho volafoty naho torisìke naho vato vaho hataeo, ie tsy mahatrea naho tsy mahatsanoñe vaho tsy mahilala;
But those who were left of mankind, who had not perished through these Curses, did not repent and turn away from what their own hands had made; they would not abandon the worship of ‘demons, and of idols made of gold or silver or brass or stone or wood, which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk’;
21 vaho tsy nibaboha’ iareo o fañohofan-dozao ndra o famorehañeo ndra o hakarapiloañeo ndra o fampikamerañeo. Fa amo andro’ i fiarañanaña’ i anjely faha-fitoio, ie vaho hitioke i antsivaiy, le ho heneke i tafatoñon’ Añahare nitaroñe’e amo mpitoky mpitoro’eoy.
and they did not repent of their murders, or their sorceries, or their licentiousness, or their thefts.
