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)

And the fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star fall from heaven to the earth: and the key of the bottomless pit was given to him. (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)

And he opened the bottomless pit: and there came up smoke out of the pit as the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke of the pit. (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.

And out of the smoke there came forth locusts upon the earth; and power was given them, even as the scorpions of the earth have power.

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.

And order was given them, not to hurt the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree; but only the men, who had not the seal of God 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.

And to them was given power, not to kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it striketh a man.

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.

And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it: and they shall desire to die, and death shall 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.

And the resemblance of the locusts was like horses prepared for war; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces as the faces of men.

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

And they had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.

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.

And they had breast-plates like breast-plates of iron; and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots, with many horses running to battle.

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

And they had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.

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)

And they had a king over them, the angel of the bottomless pit; whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek tongue Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)

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

Thus one wo is past, but behold two woes more are coming after.

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

And the sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a certain voice from the four horns of the golden altar, which is before God,

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

saying to the sixth angel, who had the trumpet, Let loose the four angels, that are bound by the great river Euphrates.

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.

And the four angels were let loose; who were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, to kill the third part of men.

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

And the number of their armies was two hundred millions: for I heard the number of them.

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.

And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those that sat on them, that is, having breast-plates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire, and smoke, and brimstone.

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.

And by these three things, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which came out of their mouths, the third part of men were killed.

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.

For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails also; for their tails are like serpents, having heads: and with these likewise they do mischief.

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.

And the rest of the men, who were not killed by these plagues, yet repented not of the works of their hands, so as not to worship demons, and idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood; which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk:

21 They didn’t repent of their murders, their sorceries, their sexual immorality, or their thefts.

neither did they repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their whoredom, nor of their thefts.
