< Revelation 9 >

1 The fifth angel blew his trumpet. I watched a star fall from heaven to earth. He was given the key to the opening of the Abyss. (Abyssos g12)
ܘܕܚܡܫܐ ܙܥܩ ܘܚܙܝܬ ܟܘܟܒܐ ܕܢܦܠ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܩܠܝܕܐ ܕܒܐܪܘܗܝ ܕܬܗܘܡܐ (Abyssos g12)
2 He opened the entrance to the Abyss, and smoke came up out of the Abyss like the smoke of a huge furnace. The sun and the atmosphere became dark because of the smoke from the Abyss. (Abyssos g12)
ܘܤܠܩ ܬܢܢܐ ܡܢ ܒܐܪܐ ܐܝܟ ܬܢܢܐ ܕܐܬܘܢܐ ܪܒܐ ܕܡܫܬܓܪ ܘܚܫܟ ܫܡܫܐ ܘܐܐܪ ܡܢ ܬܢܢܐ ܕܒܐܪܐ (Abyssos g12)
3 Locusts came out of the smoke onto the earth, and they were given power like that possessed by scorpions.
ܘܡܢ ܬܢܢܐ ܢܦܩܘ ܩܡܨܐ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܥܩܪܒܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ
4 They were told not to harm the grass or any vegetation or any trees, only those who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
ܘܐܬܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܗܪܘܢ ܠܥܤܒܗ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܘܠܟܠ ܝܘܪܩ ܐܦܠܐ ܠܐܝܠܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܚܬܡܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܝܬ ܥܝܢܝܗܘܢ
5 They were not allowed to kill, but they could torture these people for five months. The torture was like that of a scorpion when it stings someone.
ܘܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܩܛܠܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܢܫܬܢܩܘܢ ܝܪܚܐ ܚܡܫܐ ܘܬܫܢܝܩܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܬܫܢܝܩܐ ܕܥܩܪܒܐ ܡܐ ܕܢܦܠܐ ܥܠ ܐܢܫ
6 During that time people will look for death, but won't find it; they will want to die, but death will run away from them!
ܘܒܝܘܡܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܢܒܥܘܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܠܡܘܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܫܟܚܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܢܬܪܓܪܓܘܢ ܠܡܡܬ ܘܢܥܪܘܩ ܡܘܬܐ ܡܢܗܘܢ
7 The locusts looked like war-horses. They wore what seemed to be golden crowns on their heads, and their faces looked human.
ܘܕܡܘܬܐ ܕܩܡܨܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܕܪܟܫܐ ܕܡܛܝܒܝܢ ܠܩܪܒܐ ܘܥܠ ܪܫܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܟܠܝܠܐ ܕܕܡܘܬܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܘܐܦܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܐܦܐ ܕܐܢܫܐ
8 They had long hair like women and had teeth like lions.
ܘܤܥܪܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܤܥܪܐ ܕܢܫܐ ܘܫܢܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܪܝܘܬܐ
9 Their breastplates looked like they were made of iron, and the noise made by their wings sounded like many horses and chariots racing into battle.
ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܪܝܢܐ ܐܝܟ ܫܪܝܢܐ ܕܦܪܙܠܐ ܘܩܠܐ ܕܓܦܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܩܠܐ ܕܡܪܟܒܬܐ ܕܪܟܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܪܗܛܝܢ ܠܩܪܒܐ
10 They had tails like scorpions, complete with stingers. They had the power to hurt people for five months with their tails.
ܘܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܘܢܒܝܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܕܥܩܪܒܐ ܘܥܘܩܤܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܕܘܢܒܝܬܗܘܢ ܘܫܘܠܛܢܗܘܢ ܠܡܗܪܘ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܝܪܚܐ ܚܡܫܐ
11 Ruling over them as their king was the angel of the Abyss who is called Abaddon in Hebrew and Apollyon in Greek. (Abyssos g12)
ܘܐܝܬ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܡܠܟܐ ܡܠܐܟܗ ܕܬܗܘܡܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܥܒܪܐܝܬ ܥܒܕܘ ܘܐܪܡܐܝܬ ܫܡܐ ܠܗ ܐܝܬ ܫܪܐ (Abyssos g12)
12 The first Disaster is over, but there are still two more to come.
ܘܝ ܚܕ ܐܙܠ ܗܐ ܬܘܒ ܐܬܝܢ ܬܪܝܢ ܘܝ
13 The sixth angel blew his trumpet. I heard a voice come from the horns of the golden altar that stands in front of God
ܒܬܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܫܬܐ ܙܥܩ ܘܫܡܥܬ ܩܠܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܐܪܒܥ ܩܪܢܬܗ ܕܡܕܒܚܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܕܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ
14 speaking to the sixth angel that had the trumpet: “Release the four angels that are tied up beside the great River Euphrates.”
ܕܐܡܪ ܠܡܠܐܟܐ ܫܬܝܬܝܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܫܝܦܘܪܐ ܫܪܝ ܠܐܪܒܥܐ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܐܤܝܪܝܢ ܥܠ ܢܗܪܐ ܪܒܐ ܦܪܬ
15 The four angels who had been kept ready for this particular hour, day, month and year were released to kill one third of humanity.
ܘܐܫܬܪܝܘ ܐܪܒܥܐ ܡܠܐܟܝܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܛܝܒܝܢ ܠܫܥܬܐ ܘܠܝܘܡܐ ܘܠܝܪܚܐ ܘܠܫܢܬܐ ܕܢܩܛܠܘܢ ܬܘܠܬܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ
16 I was told the number of the army of soldiers on horseback: it was 200 million.
ܘܡܢܝܢܐ ܕܚܝܠܘܬܐ ܕܦܪܫܐ ܬܪܬܝܢ ܪܒܘ ܪܒܘܢ ܫܡܥܬ ܡܢܝܢܗܘܢ
17 In my vision I saw the horses and their riders who wore breastplates as red as fire, and dark blue and yellow. The heads of the horses looked like lions, and fire and smoke and sulfur streamed out of their mouths.
ܘܗܟܢܐ ܚܙܝܬ ܪܟܫܐ ܒܚܙܘܐ ܘܠܕܝܬܒܝܢ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܬ ܫܪܝܢܐ ܕܢܘܪܐ ܘܩܪܟܕܢܐ ܕܟܒܪܝܬܐ ܘܩܪܩܦܬܐ ܕܪܟܫܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܩܪܩܦܬܐ ܕܐܪܝܘܬܐ ܘܡܢ ܦܘܡܗܘܢ ܢܦܩܐ ܢܘܪܐ ܘܟܒܪܝܬܐ ܘܬܢܢܐ
18 One third of humanity was killed by these three plagues, by the fire and smoke and sulfur streaming out of their mouths.
ܘܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܬܠܬ ܡܚܘܢ ܐܬܩܛܠܘ ܬܘܠܬܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܘܡܢ ܢܘܪܐ ܘܡܢ ܟܒܪܝܬܐ ܘܡܢ ܬܢܢܐ ܕܢܦܩ ܡܢ ܦܘܡܗܘܢ
19 The horses' power was in their tails as well as their mouths, for their tails were like serpents' heads that they used to hurt people.
ܡܛܠ ܕܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܕܪܟܫܐ ܒܦܘܡܗܘܢ ܘܐܦ ܒܕܘܢܒܝܬܗܘܢ
20 But the rest of humanity who were not killed by these plagues did not repent of what they were doing. They did not stop worshiping demons and idols of gold, silver, bronze, and stone—which can't see or hear or walk!
ܘܫܪܟܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܕܠܐ ܐܬܩܛܠܘ ܒܡܚܘܬܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܬܒܘ ܡܢ ܥܒܕ ܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܤܓܕܘܢ ܠܕܝܘܐ ܘܠܦܬܟܪܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܘܕܤܐܡܐ ܘܕܢܚܫܐ ܘܕܩܝܤܐ ܘܕܟܐܦܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܠܡܚܙܐ ܘܠܐ ܠܡܫܡܥ ܡܨܝܢ ܐܘ ܠܡܗܠܟܘ
21 They did not repent of their murders, their witchcraft, their sexual sins, or their thefts.
ܘܠܐ ܬܒܘ ܡܢ ܩܛܠܝܗܘܢ ܘܡܢ ܚܪܫܝܗܘܢ ܘܡܢ ܙܢܝܘܬܗܘܢ
