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 was given to him. (Abyssos g12)

ܘܕܚܡܫܐ ܙܥܩ ܘܚܙܝܬ ܟܘܟܒܐ ܕܢܦܠ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܩܠܝܕܐ ܕܒܐܪܘܗܝ ܕܬܗܘܡܐ (Abyssos g12)

2 He opened the pit of the abyss, 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. (Abyssos g12)

ܘܤܠܩ ܬܢܢܐ ܡܢ ܒܐܪܐ ܐܝܟ ܬܢܢܐ ܕܐܬܘܢܐ ܪܒܐ ܕܡܫܬܓܪ ܘܚܫܟ ܫܡܫܐ ܘܐܐܪ ܡܢ ܬܢܢܐ ܕܒܐܪܐ (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.

ܘܡܢ ܬܢܢܐ ܢܦܩܘ ܩܡܨܐ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܥܩܪܒܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ

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 don’t have God’s seal 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 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.

ܘܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܩܛܠܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܢܫܬܢܩܘܢ ܝܪܚܐ ܚܡܫܐ ܘܬܫܢܝܩܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܬܫܢܝܩܐ ܕܥܩܪܒܐ ܡܐ ܕܢܦܠܐ ܥܠ ܐܢܫ

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.

ܘܒܝܘܡܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܢܒܥܘܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܠܡܘܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܫܟܚܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܢܬܪܓܪܓܘܢ ܠܡܡܬ ܘܢܥܪܘܩ ܡܘܬܐ ܡܢܗܘܢ

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.

ܘܕܡܘܬܐ ܕܩܡܨܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܕܪܟܫܐ ܕܡܛܝܒܝܢ ܠܩܪܒܐ ܘܥܠ ܪܫܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܟܠܝܠܐ ܕܕܡܘܬܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܘܐܦܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܐܦܐ ܕܐܢܫܐ

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

ܘܤܥܪܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܤܥܪܐ ܕܢܫܐ ܘܫܢܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܪܝܘܬܐ

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.

ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܪܝܢܐ ܐܝܟ ܫܪܝܢܐ ܕܦܪܙܠܐ ܘܩܠܐ ܕܓܦܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܩܠܐ ܕܡܪܟܒܬܐ ܕܪܟܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܪܗܛܝܢ ܠܩܪܒܐ

10 They have tails like those of scorpions, with stingers. In their tails they have power to harm men for five months.

ܘܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܘܢܒܝܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܕܥܩܪܒܐ ܘܥܘܩܤܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܕܘܢܒܝܬܗܘܢ ܘܫܘܠܛܢܗܘܢ ܠܡܗܪܘ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܝܪܚܐ ܚܡܫܐ

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

ܘܐܝܬ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܡܠܟܐ ܡܠܐܟܗ ܕܬܗܘܡܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܥܒܪܐܝܬ ܥܒܕܘ ܘܐܪܡܐܝܬ ܫܡܐ ܠܗ ܐܝܬ ܫܪܐ (Abyssos g12)

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

ܘܝ ܚܕ ܐܙܠ ܗܐ ܬܘܒ ܐܬܝܢ ܬܪܝܢ ܘܝ

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

ܒܬܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܫܬܐ ܙܥܩ ܘܫܡܥܬ ܩܠܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܐܪܒܥ ܩܪܢܬܗ ܕܡܕܒܚܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܕܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ

14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates!”

ܕܐܡܪ ܠܡܠܐܟܐ ܫܬܝܬܝܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܫܝܦܘܪܐ ܫܪܝ ܠܐܪܒܥܐ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܐܤܝܪܝܢ ܥܠ ܢܗܪܐ ܪܒܐ ܦܪܬ

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.

ܘܐܫܬܪܝܘ ܐܪܒܥܐ ܡܠܐܟܝܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܛܝܒܝܢ ܠܫܥܬܐ ܘܠܝܘܡܐ ܘܠܝܪܚܐ ܘܠܫܢܬܐ ܕܢܩܛܠܘܢ ܬܘܠܬܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ

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

ܘܡܢܝܢܐ ܕܚܝܠܘܬܐ ܕܦܪܫܐ ܬܪܬܝܢ ܪܒܘ ܪܒܘܢ ܫܡܥܬ ܡܢܝܢܗܘܢ

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.

ܘܗܟܢܐ ܚܙܝܬ ܪܟܫܐ ܒܚܙܘܐ ܘܠܕܝܬܒܝܢ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܬ ܫܪܝܢܐ ܕܢܘܪܐ ܘܩܪܟܕܢܐ ܕܟܒܪܝܬܐ ܘܩܪܩܦܬܐ ܕܪܟܫܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܩܪܩܦܬܐ ܕܐܪܝܘܬܐ ܘܡܢ ܦܘܡܗܘܢ ܢܦܩܐ ܢܘܪܐ ܘܟܒܪܝܬܐ ܘܬܢܢܐ

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.

ܘܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܬܠܬ ܡܚܘܢ ܐܬܩܛܠܘ ܬܘܠܬܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܘܡܢ ܢܘܪܐ ܘܡܢ ܟܒܪܝܬܐ ܘܡܢ ܬܢܢܐ ܕܢܦܩ ܡܢ ܦܘܡܗܘܢ

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.

ܡܛܠ ܕܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܕܪܟܫܐ ܒܦܘܡܗܘܢ ܘܐܦ ܒܕܘܢܒܝܬܗܘܢ

20 The rest of mankind, who were not killed with these plagues, didn’t repent of the works of their hands, that they wouldn’t worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood, which can’t see, 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 didn’t repent of their murders, their sorceries, their sexual immorality, or their thefts.

ܘܠܐ ܬܒܘ ܡܢ ܩܛܠܝܗܘܢ ܘܡܢ ܚܪܫܝܗܘܢ ܘܡܢ ܙܢܝܘܬܗܘܢ
