Revelation 9
1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven to the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. (Abyssos g12)
Lalu malaikat kelima meniup trompetnya, dan saya melihat sebuah bintang jatuh dari langit ke atas bumi. Bintang itu diberi kunci jurang maut. (Abyssos g12)
2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. (Abyssos g12)
Maka bintang itu membuka jurang maut itu, lalu asap keluar dari dalamnya seperti asap dari tungku yang besar. Matahari dan angkasa menjadi gelap oleh asap dari jurang itu. (Abyssos g12)
3 And there came out of the smoke locusts on the earth: and to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
Lalu dari dalam asap itu keluarlah belalang-belalang yang turun ke bumi. Belalang-belalang itu diberi kuasa yang sama seperti yang diberi kepada kalajengking.
4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
Mereka dilarang merusak rumput, atau pohon-pohon, atau tanaman-tanaman lainnya. Mereka hanya boleh menyerang orang-orang yang pada dahinya tidak ada tanda segel dari Allah.
5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he strikes a man.
Belalang-belalang itu tidak diizinkan membunuh orang-orang itu, melainkan hanya menyiksa mereka selama lima bulan. Nyeri yang diakibatkan oleh siksaan belalang-belalang itu sama seperti nyeri yang diakibatkan oleh sengat kalajengking.
6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
Selama lima bulan itu, orang-orang itu berusaha supaya mati, tetapi mereka tidak bisa mati; mereka ingin mati, tetapi maut jauh dari mereka.
7 And the shapes of the locusts were like to horses prepared to battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
Rupa belalang itu seperti kuda yang siap untuk berperang. Di kepala mereka ada sesuatu yang kelihatan seperti mahkota emas. Muka mereka seperti muka manusia.
8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
Rambut mereka seperti rambut wanita, dan gigi mereka seperti gigi singa.
9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
Dada mereka ditutupi dengan sesuatu yang mirip baju besi. Suara sayap mereka seperti suara sejumlah besar kereta-kereta kuda yang sedang menyerbu dalam peperangan.
10 And they had tails like to scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
Mereka mempunyai ekor dan sengat seperti kalajengking. Dan di dalam ekor mereka itulah terdapat kekuatan mereka untuk menyiksa manusia selama lima bulan.
11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue has his name Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)
Mereka mempunyai raja yang memerintah mereka, dan raja itu ialah malaikat yang bertanggung jawab atas jurang maut. Namanya di dalam bahasa Ibrani ialah Abadon; dan di dalam bahasa Yunani Apolion (yang artinya "Perusak"). (Abyssos g12)
12 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
Celaka yang pertama telah lalu. Sesudah itu ada dua celaka lagi yang harus datang.
13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
Kemudian malaikat yang keenam meniup trompetnya. Maka saya mendengar suara datang dari keempat sudut mezbah emas yang terdapat di depan Allah.
14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
Suara itu berkata kepada malaikat keenam itu, "Lepaskanlah keempat malaikat yang terikat di Sungai Efrat itu!"
15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
Keempat malaikat itu pun dilepaskan. Mereka sudah disiapkan khusus bagi jam, hari, bulan dan tahun itu untuk membunuh sepertiga dari seluruh umat manusia.
16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
Saya diberitahukan bahwa jumlah pasukan-pasukan berkuda itu adalah sebanyak dua ratus juta.
17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
Dan dalam penglihatan, saya melihat kuda-kuda itu dan penunggang-penunggan Penunggang-penunggangnya memakai baju besi yang berwarna merah menyala, biru seperti batu nilam, dan kuning belerang. Kepala kuda-kuda itu seperti kepala singa, dan dari mulutnya keluar api, asap, dan belerang.
18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
Sepertiga dari umat manusia terbunuh oleh tiga bencana itu; yaitu api, asap, dan belerang yang keluar dari mulut kuda-kuda itu.
19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like to serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
Kekuatan kuda-kuda itu terdapat pada mulutnya dan juga pada ekornya. Ekor-ekornya seperti ular berkepala. Dengan ekornya itu, kuda-kuda itu menyiksa manusia.
20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
Tetapi sisa dari umat manusia yang tidak terbunuh oleh bencana-bencana itu pun, tidak pula meninggalkan perbuatan tangan mereka sendiri. Mereka tidak berhenti menyembah roh-roh jahat dan berhala-berhala emas, perak, tembaga, batu dan kayu yang tidak dapat melihat atau mendengar, ataupun berjalan.
21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
Mereka tidak pula meninggalkan perbuatan-perbuatan mereka yang jahat, yaitu pembunuhan, ilmu-ilmu gaib, percabulan dan pencurian.
