Revelation 9
1 The fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from the sky which had fallen to the earth. The key to the pit of the Abyss (Abyssos g12) was given to him.
Tu se ozvala polnice pátého anděla. Z nebe spadla na zem jiná hvězda. Dostala klíč od propasti, (Abyssos g12)
2 He opened the pit of the Abyss (Abyssos g12), and smoke went up out of the pit, like the smoke from a burning furnace. The sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke from the pit.
otevřela její jícen a z propasti se vyvalil dým jako z velké pece, zakryl slunce a za-mořil vzduch. (Abyssos g12)
3 Then out of the smoke came locusts on the earth, and power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
Z dýmu se pak vyrojila mračna hmyzu s jedovatými žihadly. Byly to kobylky, jež však nenapadaly rostliny, ale lidi, kteří neměli Boží znamení na čele.
4 They were told that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only those people who do not have God’s seal on their foreheads.
5 They were given power, not to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a person.
Nesměly je usmrcovat, ale mohly je pět měsíců trápit. Bodání toho hmyzu bude tak bolestivé, že mnozí se budou chtít sami zabít, avšak nepodaří se jim to, budou toužit po smrti, ale marně.
6 In those days people will seek death, and will in no way find it. They will desire to die, and death will flee from them.
7 The shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared for war. On their heads were something like golden crowns, and their faces were like people’s faces.
Zblízka ty kobylky vypadaly jako koně vystrojení do boje. Jejich hlavy ozdobené zlatými korunami měly lidské tváře,
8 They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like those of lions.
hřívy vlající jako rozpuštěné ženské vlasy, zuby jako lev.
9 They had breastplates like breastplates of iron. The sound of their wings was like the sound of many chariots and horses rushing to war.
Hruď měly jako okovanou pancířem a zvuk jejich křídel připomínal rachot útočící vozby.
10 They have tails like those of scorpions, with stingers. In their tails they have power to harm men for five months.
Ocasy měly jako štíři a v nich žihadla, která po pět měsíců trápila lidi.
11 They have over them as king the angel of the Abyss (Abyssos g12). His name in Hebrew is "Abaddon", and in Greek, he has the name "Apollyon".
Vedl je král propasti zvaný hebrejsky Abaddon, řecky Apollyon, to znamená Zhoubce. (Abyssos g12)
12 The first woe is past. Behold, there are still two woes coming after this.
Zdálo se, že první hrůza končí, ale už se valí další.
13 The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God,
Zatroubil šestý anděl a od čtyř rohů Božího oltáře se ozval hlas.
14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates!”
Poručil šestému trubači: „Rozvaž pouta čtyř démonů od velké řeky Eufratu!“
15 The four angels were freed who had been prepared for that hour and day and month and year, so that they might kill one third of mankind.
Tak byli osvobozeni čtyři spoutaní démoni, kteří čekali na svou hodinu, aby vyhladili třetinu lidstva.
16 The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million. I heard the number of them.
Vyrazili s jízdou v počtu dvě stě miliónů jezdců (to číslo mi bylo přesně sděleno):
17 Thus I saw the horses in the vision and those who sat on them, having breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the horses’ heads resembled lions’ heads. Out of their mouths proceed fire, smoke, and sulfur.
Jezdci měli na sobě ohnivě rudé, hyacintově modré a sírově žluté pancíře. Hlavy jejich koní byly jako hlavy lvů a z tlam jim šlehal oheň, vycházel kouř a čpěla síra. Právě tím – ohněm, kouřem a sírou – zabíjeli.
18 By these three plagues, one third of mankind was killed: by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur, which proceeded out of their mouths.
19 For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails are like serpents, and have heads; and with them they harm.
Vražedná moc těch koní nevycházela jenom z jejich tlam, ale i z ocasů; měli totiž místo nich jedovaté hady a ti lidi kousali.
20 The rest of mankind, who were not killed with these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they would not worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood, which cannot see, hear, or walk.
Avšak lidé, kteří přežili tyto katastrofy, se přesto nezměnili a nečinili pokání. Boha nectili, ale dál uctívali svoje zlaté, stříbrné, měděné, kamenné nebo dokonce jen dřevěné modly, slepé, hluché a bezmocné.
21 They did not repent of their murders, their sorceries, their sexual immorality, or their thefts.
Ne, lidé se vůbec nezměnili, nepřestali se vraždit neustoupili od svých pověr, cizoložství a krádeží.
