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 g12)
Then the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven upon the earth; and to him was given the key to the bottomless pit. (Abyssos g12)
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 g12)
And he opened the bottomless pit, and out of the pit there went up a smoke like the smoke of a great furnace. And the sun and the air grew dark, because of the smoke out of the pit. (Abyssos g12)
3 Aara sana keessaas hawwaannisa baayʼeetu lafatti yaaʼe; hawwaannisoota sanaafis taayitaan akka taayitaa torbaanqabaa lafaa ni kenname.
And out of the smoke came locusts upon the earth; they were given power like that of scorpions on 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 hurt the grass of the earth, nor any plant, nor any tree, but only those who have not 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.
Yet they were not permitted to kill them, but only to torture them for five months. Their torture was like the torture of a scorpion, when it stings a man.
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 ever flees from them.
7 Bifti hawwaannisoota sanaas fardeen duulaaf qopheeffaman fakkaata ture. Mataa isaaniittis waan akka gonfoo warqee kaaʼatanii turan; fuulli isaaniis fuula namaa fakkaata ture.
The appearance of the locusts was like horses equipped for battle. On their heads there was something like crowns of gold, and their faces were like men’s faces,
8 Rifeensi isaanii rifeensa mataa dubartootaa fakkaata ture; ilkaan isaaniis ilkaan leencaa fakkaata ture.
and they had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were like lion’s teeth,
9 Isaanis maddaa maddaa sibiilaa fakkaatu qabu turan; sagaleen qoochoo isaaniis sagalee fardeenii fi gaariiwwan baayʼee kanneen gara duulaatti didichanii fakkaata ture.
and they had breastplates something like breastplates of iron; and the noise of their wings was like the noise of chariots, of many horses rushing into battle.
10 Isaanis akkuma torbaanqabaa eegee fi ilkee qabu turan; eegee isaanii keessaa immoo taayitaa ittiin jiʼa shan nama dhiphisan qabu turan.
And they have tails like scorpions, and stings, and their power to torture men five months was in their tails.
11 Isaanis mootii qabu turan; innis ergamaa Boolla Qilee ti; maqaan isaas afaan Ibraayisxiitiin Abadoon, afaan Giriikiin immoo Aphooliyoon jedhama ture. (Abyssos g12)
They have a king over them, the angel of the bottomless pit. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon; in Greek he is called Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)
12 Wayyoon inni duraa darbeera; kunoo, wayyoowwan biraa lamatu dhufuuf jira.
"The first woe has passed; and still there are two woes 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 blew his trumpet; and I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God,
14 Sagaleen sunis ergamaa jaʼaffaa malakata qabu sanaan, “Ergamoota afran kanneen laga Efraaxiisi guddicha biratti hidhaman sana gad dhiisi” jedhe.
one saying to the sixth angel that had the trumpet, "Loose the four angels which 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.
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 Baayʼinni loltoota fardeeniin duulanii miliyoona dhibba lama ture. Anis baayʼina isaaniis nan dhagaʼe.
The number of the hosts of the horsemen was twice ten thousand times ten thousand. 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.
and thus I saw the horses in the vision and their riders. They had breastplates of fire, "red as fire, dark blue as jacinth, and yellow as sulphur." The heads of the horses were like lions’ heads, and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
18 Dhaʼicha sadan kanaan jechuunis ibidda, aaraa fi dinyii afaan isaaniitii baʼeen sanyiin namaa harka sadii keessaa harki tokko ni ajjeefame.
By these three plagues a third of mankind were killed; by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which issued 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 is in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails are like serpents with heads, and with them they work woe.
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.
And the rest of mankind who were not killed with these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands. They would not give up the worship of demons and of idols made of gold and silver, and brass, and stone, and wood, which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk.
21 Akkasumas gaabbanii nama ajjeesuu isaanii irraa yookaan falfala hojjechuu isaanii irraa yookaan halalummaa isaanii irraa yookaan hanna isaanii irraa hin deebine.
And they did not repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their immorality, nor of their thefts.
