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 his trumpet, and I saw a star fall from heaven to the earth: and the key of the bottomless pit was given to him. (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 bottomless pit: and there came up smoke out of the pit as the smoke of a great 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 there came forth locusts upon the earth; and power was given them, even as the scorpions of the earth have power.
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 order was given them, not to hurt the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree; but only the men, who had not the seal of God on 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 to them was given power, not to kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it 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 they shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
7 सलहहरू लडाइँका निम्ति तयार गरिएका घोडाहरूजस्ता देखिन्थे । तिनीहरूका शिरमा सुनको जस्ता मुकुट र तिनीहरूका अनुहार मानवको अनुहारहरूजस्ता देखिन्थे ।
And the resemblance of the locusts was like horses prepared for war; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces as the faces of men.
8 तिनीहरूका कपाल स्त्रीहरूका कपालजस्तै र तिनीहरूका दाँत सिंहका दाँतजस्ता थिए ।
And they had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were as 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 breast-plates like breast-plates of iron; and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots, with many horses running 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 their power was 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 a king over them, the angel of the bottomless pit; whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek tongue Apollyon. (Abyssos )
12 पहिलो विपत्ति बितिहाल्यो । हेर, यसपछि दुईवटा विपत्ति आउन बाँकी नै छन् ।
Thus one wo is past, but behold two woes more are coming after.
13 छैटौँ स्वर्गदूतले आफ्नो तुरही फुके । मैले परमेश्वरको अगाडि भएको सुनको वेदीका सिङहरूबाट एउटा आवाज आइरहेको सुने ।
And the sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a certain voice from the four horns of the golden altar, 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 had the trumpet, Let loose the four angels, that are bound by 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 let loose; who were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, to kill the third part of men.
16 घोडामा सवार भएका सिपाहीहरूको सङ्ख्या बिस करोड थियो । मैले तिनाहरूको सङ्ख्या सुनेँ ।
And the number of their armies was two hundred millions: for 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 thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those that sat on them, that is, having breast-plates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire, and smoke, and brimstone.
18 तिनीहरूका मुखबाट निस्केका आगो, धुवाँ र गन्धकको यी विपत्तिहरूद्वारा मानिसको एक-तिहाइ भागलाई मारियो ।
And by these three things, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which came out of their mouths, the third part of men were killed.
19 किनभने घोडाहरूको शक्ति तिनीहरूका मुख र पुच्छरमा थियो, किनकि तिनीहरूका पुच्छर सर्पको जस्तै थियो; तिनीहरूका टाउकोले हानेर मानिसहरूलाई चोट पुर्याएका थिए ।
For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails also; for their tails are like serpents, having heads: and with these likewise they do mischief.
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 rest of the men, who were not killed by these plagues, yet repented not of the works of their hands, so as not to worship demons, and idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood; which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk:
21 न त तिनीहरूले गरेको हत्या, जादुगरी, अनैतिक यौन वा चोरीजस्ता कामदेखि पश्चात्ताप गरे ।
neither did they repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their whoredom, nor of their thefts.
