Revelation 9

1 And the fifth Angel sounded the trumpet. And I saw upon the earth, a star that had fallen from heaven, and the key to the well of the abyss was given to him. (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 well of the abyss. And the smoke of the well ascended, like the smoke of a great furnace. And the sun and the air were obscured by the smoke of the well. (Abyssos g12)

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)

3 And locusts went forth from the smoke of the well into the earth. And power was given to them, like the power that the scorpions of the earth have.

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

4 And it was commanded of them that they must not harm the plants of the earth, nor anything green, nor any tree, but only those men who do not have the Seal of God 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 don’t have God’s seal on their foreheads.

5 And it was given to them that they would not kill them, but that they would torture them for five months. And their torture was like the torture of a scorpion, when he strikes 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 will seek death and they will not find it. And they will 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 likenesses of the locusts resembled horses prepared for battle. And upon their heads were something like crowns similar to gold. And their faces were like 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 like the hair of women. And their teeth were like the teeth of lions.

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

9 And they had breastplates like iron breastplates. And the noise of their wings was like the noise of many running horses, rushing to battle.

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

10 And they had tails similar to scorpions. And there were stingers in their tails, and these had the power to harm men for five months.

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

11 And they had over them a king, the Angel of the abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Doom; in Greek, Destroyer; in Latin, Exterminator. (Abyssos g12)

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)

12 One woe has gone out, but behold, there are still two woes approaching afterward.

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

13 And the sixth Angel sounded the trumpet. And I heard a lone voice from the four horns of the golden altar, which is before the eyes of God,

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

14 saying to the sixth Angel who had the trumpet: “Release the four Angels who were bound at the great river Euphrates.”

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

15 And the four Angels were released, who had been prepared for that hour, and day, and month, and year, in order to kill one third part of men.

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.

16 And the number of the army of horsemen was two hundred million. For I heard their number.

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

17 And I also saw the horses in the vision. And those who were sitting upon them had breastplates of fire and hyacinth and sulphur. And the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions. And from their mouths proceeded 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 horses’ heads resembled lions’ heads. Out of their mouths proceed fire, smoke, and sulfur.

18 And one third part of men were slain by these three afflictions: by the fire and by the smoke and by the sulphur, which proceeded from their mouths.

By these three plagues, one third of mankind was killed: by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur, which proceeded out of their mouths.

19 For the power of these horses is in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails resemble serpents, having heads; and it is with these that they cause harm.

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 slain by these afflictions, did not repent from the works of their hands, so that they would not worship demons, or idols of gold and silver and brass and stone and wood, which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk.

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.

21 And they did not repent from their murders, nor from their drugs, nor from their fornication, nor from their thefts.

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