1 त्यसपछि पाँचौ स्वर्गदूतले आफ्नो तुरही फुके । अनि मैले स्वर्गबाट पृथ्वीमा एउटा तारा खशिरहेको देखेँ । त्यो तारालाई अतल कुण्डको साँचो दिइयो । (Abyssos )
AND the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven to the earth; and to him was given the key of the pit of the abyss of hell. (Abyssos )
2 त्यसले अतल कुण्ड खोल्यो, अनि त्यस कुण्डबाट धुवाँको मुस्लोजस्तो माथि गइरहेको थियो । त्यसले सूर्य र वायुलाई अँध्यारो बनाइदियो । (Abyssos )
And he opened the pit of the abyss; and a smoke ascended out of the pit like the smoke of a vast furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke of the pit. (Abyssos )
3 धुवाँबाट पृथ्वीमा सलहहरू निस्केर आए । अनि पृथ्वीमा बिच्छीहरूको जस्तो शक्ति तिनीहरूलाई दिइयो ।
And out of the smoke came forth locusts upon the earth; and power was given to them, such power as the scorpions of the earth possess.
4 पृथ्वीमा भएका घाँस वा कुनै पनि हरियो बोट बिरुवा वा रुखलाई हानि नगर्नू भनी तिनीहरूलाई भनियो । तर तिनीहरूलाई निधारमा परमेश्वरको मोहर नभएका मानिसहरूलाई मात्र हानि गर्नू भनियो ।
And it was told them, Hurt not the grass of the earth, nor any herb, nor any tree, but only those men who have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
5 तिनीहरूलाई पाँच महिना मात्र यातना दिनू, तर ती मानिसहरूलाई नमार्नू भन्ने अनुमति दिइयो । अनि तिनीहरूको पीडा एक जना व्यक्तिलाई बिच्छीले डसेको जस्तो हुनेछ ।
And it was given them in charge that they should not kill these men outright, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment is as the torment of a scorpion when he striketh a man.
6 ती दिनहरूमा मानिसहरूले मृत्यु खोज्नेछन्, तर यसलाई भेट्टाउनेछैनन् । तिनीहरूले मर्न ठुलो इच्छा गर्नेछन्, तर मृत्यु तिनीहरूबाट भाग्नेछ ।
And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall earnestly desire to die, and death shall fly from them.
7 सलहहरू लडाइँका निम्ति तयार गरिएका घोडाहरूजस्ता देखिन्थे । तिनीहरूका शिरमा सुनको जस्ता मुकुट र तिनीहरूका अनुहार मानवको अनुहारहरूजस्ता देखिन्थे ।
And the figures of the locusts were like horses equipped for war; and upon their heads there were as crowns, like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
8 तिनीहरूका कपाल स्त्रीहरूका कपालजस्तै र तिनीहरूका दाँत सिंहका दाँतजस्ता थिए ।
And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were like the teeth of lions.
9 तिनीहरूका छाती-पाता, फलामका छाती-पाताजस्तै अनि तिनीहरूका पखेटाहरूको आवाज युद्धमा दगुर्ने धेरै रथ र घोडाहरूका जस्तै थिए ।
And they had breastplates, as breastplates of iron: and the sound of their wings was as the rumbling of chariots of many horses rushing to battle.
10 तिनीहरूका पुच्छर र खिल बिच्छीका जस्तै थिए, र तिनीहरूका पुच्छरमा पाँच महिनासम्म मनिसहरूलाई हानि गर्ने शक्ति थियो ।
And they had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and they had power to hurt men five months.
11 गहिरो अतल कुण्डका स्वर्गदूत तिनीहरूका राजाजस्तै थिए । हिब्रू भाषामा त्यसको नाउँ एबाड्डोन थियो र ग्रिक भाषामा त्यसको नाउँ अपोल्लियोन थियो । (Abyssos )
And they had over them a king, the angel of the abyss of hell, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Appollyon. (Abyssos )
12 पहिलो विपत्ति बितिहाल्यो । हेर, यसपछि दुईवटा विपत्ति आउन बाँकी नै छन् ।
One woe is past; and, behold, there are coming yet two woes after these.
13 छैटौँ स्वर्गदूतले आफ्नो तुरही फुके । मैले परमेश्वरको अगाडि भएको सुनको वेदीका सिङहरूबाट एउटा आवाज आइरहेको सुने ।
And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a great voice from the four horns of the altar of gold which is before God,
14 तुरही बोक्ने छैठौँ स्वर्गदूतलाई आवाजले यसो भन्यो, “ठुलो नदी यूफ्रेटिसमा बाँधिराखेका चार जना स्वर्गदूतलाई छोडिदेऊ ।”
saying to the sixth angel who held the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound at the great river Euphrates.
15 मानव-जातिको एक-तिहाइ भागलाई मार्न त्यस घडी, त्यस दिन, त्यस महिना, त्यस वर्षका निम्ति तयार पारिराखेका चार स्वर्गदूत छाडिए ।
And the four angels were loosed, who were ready at the hour, and day, and month, and year, to kill the third part of mankind.
16 घोडामा सवार भएका सिपाहीहरूको सङ्ख्या बिस करोड थियो । मैले तिनाहरूको सङ्ख्या सुनेँ ।
And the number of the armies of cavalry was two myriads of myriads and I heard the number of them.
17 यसरी मैले दर्शनमा घोडाहरू र ती घोडाहरूमाथि सवार हुनेहरूलाई देखेँ । तिनीहरूका छाती-पाता आगोजस्तै रातो, गाडा निलो र गन्धकजस्तो पहेँलो थियो । घोडाहरूका टाउका सिंहहरूका टाउकाजस्तै थिए, अनि तिनीहरूका मुखबाट आगो, धुवाँ र गन्धक निस्कन्थे ।
And in this manner saw I the horses in the vision, and those who were mounted upon them, having breastplates of the colour of fire, and jacinth, and sulphur; and the horses’ heads were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths proceeded fire and smoke and brimstone.
18 तिनीहरूका मुखबाट निस्केका आगो, धुवाँ र गन्धकको यी विपत्तिहरूद्वारा मानिसको एक-तिहाइ भागलाई मारियो ।
By these three were slain the third part of mankind, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the sulphur, which proceeded out of their mouths.
19 किनभने घोडाहरूको शक्ति तिनीहरूका मुख र पुच्छरमा थियो, किनकि तिनीहरूका पुच्छर सर्पको जस्तै थियो; तिनीहरूका टाउकोले हानेर मानिसहरूलाई चोट पुर्याएका थिए ।
For their powers are in their mouth, and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads, and with them they do hurt.
20 बाँकी रहेका मानव-जाति जो यी विपत्तिहरूद्वारा मारिएका थिएनन्, तिनीहरूले आफूले गरेका कामहरूबाट पश्चात्ताप गरेनन् । तिनीहरूको सुन, चाँदी, काँसा, ढुङ्गा र काठहरू अनि देख्न, सुन्न वा हिँड्न नसक्ने थोकहरूका मूर्तिहरू र भूतहरूलाई पुज्न छोडेनन्;
And the residue of mankind, who were not slain by these plagues, repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of wood, and of stone: which can neither see nor hear, nor walk:
21 न त तिनीहरूले गरेको हत्या, जादुगरी, अनैतिक यौन वा चोरीजस्ता कामदेखि पश्चात्ताप गरे ।
and they repented not of their murders, nor of their magical arts, nor of their whoredom, nor of their thefts.
