Revelation 9

1 AND the Fifth angel sounded. And I saw a star which fell from heaven unto the earth and there was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss. (Abyssos g12)

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 was given to him. (Abyssos g12)

2 And he opened the pit of the abyss, and smoke ascended from the pit, as the smoke of a burning furnace; and the sun was darkened, and the air, from the smoke of the pit. (Abyssos g12)

He opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and smoke went up out of the shaft, like the smoke from a great furnace. The sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke from the pit. (Abyssos g12)

3 And from the smoke came forth locusts upon the earth. And there was given to them power such as scorpions have upon the earth.

Then out of the smoke came forth locusts on the earth, and power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

4 And it was told them, that they should not hurt the herbage of the earth, nor any green (thing), nor any tree, but only those men who had not the seal of Aloha upon their foreheads.

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 And it was given them, that they should not kill them, but torture them five months. And their torture was as the torture of a scorpion when he striketh a man.

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.

6 And in those days men shall seek death, and shall not find; and shall desire to die, and death will flee from them.

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 And the likeness of those locusts (was this): they resemble the appearance of horses prepared for battle. And upon their heads (was) a crown of the likeness of gold; and their faces (were) as the faces of men.

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.

8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as of lions;

They had hair like women's hair, and their teeth were like those of lions.

9 and they had breast-plates as breast-plates of iron, and the sound of their wings was as the sound of the chariots of many horses running to battle.

They had breastplates, like breastplates of iron. The sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots, or of many horses rushing to war.

10 And they had tails like those of scorpions, and stings; and in their tails they have power to hurt men five months.

They have tails like those of scorpions, and stings. In their tails is their power to harm people for five months.

11 And they had a king over them, the angel of the abyss, and his name in Hebrew is Abadon; but in Javanith his name is Apolon. (Abyssos g12)

They have over them as king the angel of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is "Abaddon," and in Greek, he has the name "Apollyon." (Abyssos g12)

12 One woe hath gone. Behold, two woes yet come after it.

The first woe is past. Look, there are still two woes coming after this.

13 And the Sixth angel sounded. And I heard one voice from the horns of the altar of gold which was before Aloha,

The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,

14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, Release the four angels which are bound in the great river Phraat.

saying to the sixth angel who had one trumpet, "Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates."

15 And the four angels were released, they who were prepared for an hour, and for a day, and for a month, and for a year, to kill the third (part) of men.

The four angels were freed who had been prepared for this hour and day and month and year, so that they might kill one third of humanity.

16 And the number of the host of the horsemen was two myriads of myriads. I heard the number of them.

The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million. I heard the number of them.

17 And as I beheld those horses in the vision, and those who sat upon them, (I saw that) they had breast-plates of fire, and jacinth, and sulphur; and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions, and from their mouths went out fire, and smoke, and sulphur.

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 heads of lions. Out of their mouths proceed fire, smoke, and sulfur.

18 And by these three plagues were the third of men killed; from the fire, and from the smoke, and from the sulphur which went out of their mouths.

By these three plagues were one third of humanity killed: from the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur, which proceeded out of their mouths.

19 For the power of the horses is in their mouth and in their tails: for their tails were like serpents which had heads, and with them they wound.

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.

20 And the rest of men who were not killed by those plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons and idols of gold and of silver and of brass and of stone and of wood, which can neither see nor hear;

The rest of humanity, 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 bronze, and of stone, and of wood; which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk.

21 nor repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornications, nor of their robberies.

They did not repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their sexual immorality, nor of their thefts.
