< Mulʼata 9 >
1 Ergamaan shanaffaan malakata isaa afuufe; anis urjii samii irraa lafa dhaʼe tokko nan arge. Urjii sanaafis furtuun “Boolla Qilee” ni kenname. (Abyssos )
Then the fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to earth, and it was given the key to the pit of the Abyss. (Abyssos )
2 Yommuu inni Boolla Qilee sana banettis aarri tokko akkuma aara boolla ibiddaa guddaa keessaa baʼuutti ol baʼe. Aduu fi samiinis aara Boolla Qilee keessaa baʼu sanaan ni dukkanaaʼan. (Abyssos )
The star opened the pit of the Abyss, and smoke rose out of it like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the pit. (Abyssos )
3 Aara sana keessaas hawwaannisa baayʼeetu lafatti yaaʼe; hawwaannisoota sanaafis taayitaan akka taayitaa torbaanqabaa lafaa ni kenname.
And out of the smoke, locusts descended on the earth, and they were given power like that of the scorpions of the earth.
4 Isaanis akka marga lafaa yookaan biqiltuu yookaan muka tokko illee miidhan utuu hin taʼin akka namoota adda isaanii irraa chaappaa Waaqaa hin qabaatin qofa miidhan ajajaman.
They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
5 Isaanis akka namoota sana jiʼa shan dhiphisaniif eeyyamameef malee akka jara ajjeesaniif miti. Dhiphinni kunis akkuma dhiphina isa yommuu torbaanqabaan nama iddutti dhiphatanii ti.
The locusts were not given power to kill them, but only to torment them for five months, and their torment was like the stinging of a scorpion.
6 Guyyoota sana keessa namoonni duʼa barbaadu; garuu hin argatan. Duʼuus ni hawwu; duuti garuu isaan baqata.
In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, but death will escape them.
7 Bifti hawwaannisoota sanaas fardeen duulaaf qopheeffaman fakkaata ture. Mataa isaaniittis waan akka gonfoo warqee kaaʼatanii turan; fuulli isaaniis fuula namaa fakkaata ture.
And the locusts looked like horses prepared for battle, with something like crowns of gold on their heads, and faces like the faces of men.
8 Rifeensi isaanii rifeensa mataa dubartootaa fakkaata ture; ilkaan isaaniis ilkaan leencaa fakkaata ture.
They had hair like that of women, and teeth like those of lions.
9 Isaanis maddaa maddaa sibiilaa fakkaatu qabu turan; sagaleen qoochoo isaaniis sagalee fardeenii fi gaariiwwan baayʼee kanneen gara duulaatti didichanii fakkaata ture.
They also had thoraxes like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the roar of many horses and chariots rushing into battle.
10 Isaanis akkuma torbaanqabaa eegee fi ilkee qabu turan; eegee isaanii keessaa immoo taayitaa ittiin jiʼa shan nama dhiphisan qabu turan.
They had tails with stingers like scorpions, which had the power to injure people for five months.
11 Isaanis mootii qabu turan; innis ergamaa Boolla Qilee ti; maqaan isaas afaan Ibraayisxiitiin Abadoon, afaan Giriikiin immoo Aphooliyoon jedhama ture. (Abyssos )
They were ruled by a king, the angel of the Abyss. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek it is Apollyon. (Abyssos )
12 Wayyoon inni duraa darbeera; kunoo, wayyoowwan biraa lamatu dhufuuf jira.
The first woe has passed. Behold, two woes are still to follow.
13 Ergamaan jaʼaffaanis malakata isaa afuufe; anis gaanfa afran kanneen iddoo aarsaa warqee irraa hojjetamee fuula Waaqaa dura jiru irraa sagalee tokko nan dhagaʼe.
Then the sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God
14 Sagaleen sunis ergamaa jaʼaffaa malakata qabu sanaan, “Ergamoota afran kanneen laga Efraaxiisi guddicha biratti hidhaman sana gad dhiisi” jedhe.
saying to the sixth angel with the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.”
15 Ergamoonni afran saʼaatii kanaaf, guyyaa kanaaf, jiʼaa fi waggaa kanaaf qopheeffamanii turanis sanyii namaa harka sadii keessaa harka tokko fixuuf gad dhiifaman.
So the four angels who had been prepared for this hour and day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind.
16 Baayʼinni loltoota fardeeniin duulanii miliyoona dhibba lama ture. Anis baayʼina isaaniis nan dhagaʼe.
And the number of mounted troops was two hundred million; I heard their number.
17 Anis mulʼata koo keessatti fardeenii fi namoota farda yaabbatan nan arge: Isaanis maddaa diimaa akka ibiddaa, sanpeerii fi keelloo akka dinyii qabu turan. Mataan fardeen sanaas mataa leencaa fakkaata ture; afaan isaanii keessaas ibidda, aaraa fi dinyiitu baʼe.
Now the horses and riders in my vision looked like this: The riders had breastplates the colors of fire, sapphire, and sulfur. The heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths proceeded fire, smoke, and sulfur.
18 Dhaʼicha sadan kanaan jechuunis ibidda, aaraa fi dinyii afaan isaaniitii baʼeen sanyiin namaa harka sadii keessaa harki tokko ni ajjeefame.
A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke, and sulfur that proceeded from their mouths.
19 Taayitaan fardeen sanaas afaan isaaniitii fi eegee isaanii keessa ture; eegeen isaanii akkuma bofaa mataa qaba tureetii; isaanis mataa sanaan nama miidhu turan.
For the power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails; indeed, their tails were like snakes, having heads with which to inflict harm.
20 Namoonni dhaʼicha sanaan ajjeefamuu jalaa baʼanis amma iyyuu qalbii jijjiirratanii hojii harka isaanii irraa hin deebine; hafuurota hamoo waaqeffachuu fi waaqota tolfamoo warqee irraa, meetii irraa, naasii irraa, dhagaa fi muka irraa hojjetaman kanneen arguu yookaan dhagaʼuu yookaan deemuu hin dandeenye waaqeffachuu hin dhiifne.
Now the rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the works of their hands. They did not stop worshiping demons and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk.
21 Akkasumas gaabbanii nama ajjeesuu isaanii irraa yookaan falfala hojjechuu isaanii irraa yookaan halalummaa isaanii irraa yookaan hanna isaanii irraa hin deebine.
Furthermore, they did not repent of their murder, sorcery, sexual immorality, and theft.
