Revelasyon 9
1 Apre sa, senkièm zanj lan kònen klewon l' lan. Mwen wè yon zetwal soti nan sièl la tonbe sou latè. Yo ba l' kle pou louvri pi ki mennen desann nan gwo twou san fon an. (Abyssos g12)
Then the fifth angel blew; and I saw a star that had fallen on the earth from the heavens, and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. (Abyssos g12)
2 Zetwal la louvri pi ki mennen nan gwo twou san fon an. Yon gwo lafimen soti ladan l', tankou lafimen yon gwo fou k'ap boule. Lafimen ki t'ap soti nan pi a bouche solèy la. Sièl la vin tou nwa. (Abyssos g12)
He opened the bottomless pit, and from the pit rose a smoke like the smoke of a great furnace. The sun and the air grew dark because of the smoke from the pit. (Abyssos g12)
3 Yon bann krikèt vèt soti nan lafimen an, yo mache ale toupatou sou latè. Yo te ba yo menm pouvwa ak eskòpyon.
Out of the smoke locusts descended on the earth, and they received the same power as that possessed by scorpions.
4 Yo te di yo pou yo pa t' fè malè sou okenn zèb, ni sou okenn piebwa ni sou okenn lòt plant. Se sou moun sèlman pou yo te fè malè. Epi se pa sou tout moun non, sèlman sou moun ki pa t' pote mak letanp Bondye a sou fwon yo.
They were told not to harm the grass, or any plant, or any tree, but only those who have not the seal of God on their foreheads.
5 Krikèt yo pa t' gen dwa touye moun sa yo. Men, pandan senk mwa yo te gen dwa fè yo soufri. Krikèt yo fè moun yo soufri tankou si se eskòpyon ki te mòde yo.
Yet they were not allowed to kill them, but it was ordered that those men should be tortured for five months. Their torture was like the torture caused by a scorpion when it stings a person.
6 Pandan senk mwa sa yo, moun va chache lanmò, men yo p'ap jwenn lanmò. Y'a anvi mouri, men lanmò va pase lwen yo.
In those days people will seek Death and will not find it; They will long to die, but Death flees from them.
7 Krikèt yo te sanble ak chwal ki pare pou al nan batay. Sou tèt yo chak te gen yon bagay ki sanble ak yon kouwòn lò. Figi yo menm te tankou figi moun.
In appearance the locusts were like horses equipped for battle. On their heads there were what appeared to be crowns that shone like gold, their faces resembled human faces,
8 Yo te gen cheve sou tèt yo tankou cheve fi. Dan yo menm te tankou dan lyon.
and they had hair like the hair of a woman, their teeth were like lions’ teeth,
9 Sou lestonmak yo, yo te gen yon plak an fè pou pwoteje yo. Lè yo bat zèl yo, yo fè bri tankou yon bann kabwèt chwal ki pral nan batay.
and they had what seemed to be iron breastplates, while the noise of their wings was like the noise of chariots drawn by many horses, galloping into battle.
10 Yo gen menm ke ak eskòpyon, ak yon pikan nan pwent ke a. Se avèk ke yo yo te gen pouvwa fè moun mechanste pandan senk mwa.
They have tails like scorpions, and stings, and in their tails lies their power to harm people for five months.
11 Yo te gen yon wa alatèt yo. Se zanj gwo twou san fon an. Nan lang ebre yo rele l': Abadon. Nan lang grèk yo rele l': Apolyon, ki vle di: moun k'ap krase brize a. (Abyssos g12)
They have as their king the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name, in Hebrew, is “Abaddon,” while, in Greek, his name is “Apollyon” (the Destroyer). (Abyssos g12)
12 Premie malè a te pase. Te gen de (2) lòt malè ankò ki te gen pou vini apre sa.
The first Woe has passed; and still there are two Woes to follow!
13 Lè sa a, sizièm zanj lan kònen klewon l' lan. Mwen tande yon vwa ki t'ap soti nan kat kwen lotèl an lò ki te devan Bondye a.
Then the sixth angel blew; and I heard a voice proceeding from the corners of the golden altar that stood before God.
14 Vwa a pale ak sizièm zanj ki te kenbe klewon an. Li di li konsa: Lage kat zanj ki mare nan chenn bò gwo larivyè Lefrat la.
It spoke to the sixth angel – the angel with the trumpet – and said “Let loose the four angels that are in chains at the great river Euphrates.”
15 Yo lage kat zanj yo. Yo te pare yo pou sa menm, pou lè sa a, pou jou sa a, nan mwa sa a, nan lanne sa a, pou yo te ka touye yon moun sou chak twa moun ki sou latè.
Then the four angels, that were held in readiness for that hour and day and month and year, were let loose, to destroy a third of mankind.
16 Yo di m' kantite sòlda sou chwal ki te genyen: Te gen desan milyon (200.000.000).
The number of the hosts of cavalry was ten thousand times ten thousand, twice told; I heard their number.
17 Men ki jan mwen te wè chwal yo ak kavalie yo nan vizyon an: Kavalie yo te gen yon kalite chemiz an fè pou pwoteje lestonmak yo. Chemiz yo te wouj kou dife, ble kou digo, jòn kou safran. Tèt chwal yo menm te tankou tèt lyon. Dife ansanm ak lafimen epi souf t'ap soti nan bouch yo.
And this is what the horses and their riders appeared to be like in my vision: They had breastplates of fire, blood-red and sulphurous, and the heads of the horses were like lions’ heads, while out of their mouths issue fire, and smoke, and sulphur.
18 Twa bagay sa yo ki t'ap soti nan bouch chwal yo, se te twa kalamite ki te touye yon moun sou chak twa moun sou latè.
Through these three curses a third of humanity perished – because of the fire, and the smoke, and the sulphur that issued from their mouths;
19 Paske se nan bouch yo chwal yo te gen tout pouvwa sa a ansanm ak nan ke yo. Baton ke yo menm te sanble ak sèpan: yo te gen yon tèt pou yo te fè moun mechanste.
for the power of the horses lies in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails are like snakes, with heads, and it is with them that they do harm.
20 Malgre sa, rès moun sou latè yo, sa ki pa t' mouri anba kalamite sa yo, pa t' sispann adore Satan ak zidòl fèt an lò, an ajan, an bwonz, an wòch oswa an bwa, zidòl ki pa ka wè, ki pa ka tande, ki pa ka mache.
But those who were left of humanity, who had not perished through these curses, did not repent and turn away from what their own hands had made; they would not abandon the worship of demons, and of idols made of gold or silver or brass or stone or wood, which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk;
21 Wi, atousa, moun sa yo pa t' chanje jan yo t'ap viv la, yo pa t' sispann touye moun, fè maji, lage kò yo nan imoralite ak vòlò zafè moun.
and they did not repent of their murders, or their sorceries, or their licentiousness, or their thefts.
