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)

ⲁ̅ⲡⲙⲉϩϯⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲥⲁⲗⲡⲓⲍⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲥⲓⲟⲩ ⲁϥϩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲧⲡⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲙⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⲙⲡϣⲟϣⲧ ⲛⲧϣⲱⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲛ (Abyssos g12)

2 He opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and smoke went up out of the shaft, like the smoke from a great furnace. The sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke from the pit. (Abyssos g12)

ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲛⲧϣⲱⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲛ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛⲧϣⲱⲧⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲟⲩⲕⲁⲡⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲁⲡⲛⲟⲥ ⲛϩⲣⲱ ⲛⲟϭ ⲁϥⲣⲕⲁⲕⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲡⲣⲏ ⲙⲛⲡⲁⲏⲣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙⲡⲕⲁⲡⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲧϣⲱⲧⲉ (Abyssos g12)

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

ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϩⲉⲛϣϫⲉ ⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲙⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁⲩⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛϭⲓⲛⲟⲩⲱϩⲉ ⲙⲡⲕⲁϩ

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 do not have God's seal on their foreheads.

ⲇ̅ⲁⲩϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲧⲁⲕⲉⲡⲉⲭⲟⲣⲧⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲁⲩⲱ ϣⲏⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲉⲓ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲛⲧⲁⲩ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲧⲉⲥⲫⲣⲁⲅⲓⲥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉϫⲛⲧⲉⲩⲧⲉϩⲛⲉ

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.

ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲧⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧⲟⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲉⲃⲁⲥⲁⲛⲓⲍⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϯⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲃⲟⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲩⲧⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲟ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲕⲁⲥ ⲛⲉⲛⲟⲩⲱϩⲉ ⲉⲩϣⲁⲛϫⲉⲕⲉⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ

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.

ⲋ̅ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛⲛⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲁϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲛⲥⲉⲧⲙϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲥⲉⲉⲡⲉⲑⲩⲙⲉⲓ ⲉⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲡⲱⲧ ⲛⲉϥⲕⲁⲁⲩ

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.

ⲍ̅ⲡⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲛⲉϣϫⲏⲩ ⲉϥⲟ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛϩⲉⲛϩⲧⲱⲱⲣ ⲉⲩⲥⲃⲧⲱⲧ ⲉⲡⲡⲟⲗⲩⲙⲟⲥ ⲉϣϫⲉⲉⲣⲉϩⲉⲛⲕⲗⲟⲙ ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲃ ϩⲓϫⲛⲛⲉⲩⲁⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲛⲉⲩϩⲟ ⲟ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛϩⲉⲛϩⲟ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ

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

ⲏ̅ⲉⲩⲛϩⲉⲛϥⲱ ϩⲓϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲙⲡϥⲱ ⲛⲛⲉϩⲓⲟⲟⲙⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲛⲉⲩⲟⲃϩⲉ ⲟ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲛⲉⲓⲙⲟⲩⲓ

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

ⲑ̅ⲉⲩⲛϩⲉⲛϩⲱⲕ ϩⲓⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛϩⲉⲛϩⲱⲕ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲓⲡⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉϩⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲧⲛϩ ⲟ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲙⲡⲉϩⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϩⲉⲛϩⲁⲣⲙⲁ ⲙⲛϩⲉⲛϩⲧⲱⲱⲣ ⲉⲛⲁϣⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲡⲏⲧ ⲉⲡⲡⲟⲗⲩⲙⲟⲥ

10 They have tails like those of scorpions, and stings. In their tails is their power to harm people for five months.

ⲓ̅ⲉⲟⲩⲛϩⲉⲛⲥⲁⲧ̅ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲟ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲛⲓⲟⲩⲱϩⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲉⲛⲉⲓⲃ ϩⲛⲛⲉⲩⲥⲁⲧ ⲧⲉⲩⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲙⲟⲩⲕϩ ⲛⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛϯⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲃⲟⲧ

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

ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁⲩ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲩⲣⲣⲟ ⲡⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲙⲙⲛⲧϩⲉⲃⲣⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲃⲁⲧⲧⲱⲛ ⲙⲙⲛⲧⲟⲩⲉⲉⲛⲓⲛ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲧⲁⲕⲟ (Abyssos g12)

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

ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲓⲥⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲏⲩ ⲛϭⲓⲕⲉⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁⲛⲁⲓ

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

ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲡⲙⲉϩⲥⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲥⲁⲗⲡⲓⲍⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲓⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲩⲥⲙⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲛⲧⲁⲡ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲃ ⲉⲧⲙⲡⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ

14 saying to the sixth angel who had one trumpet, "Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates."

ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲙⲉϩⲥⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲧⲥⲁⲗⲡⲓⲅⲝ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ϫⲉ ⲃⲱⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲙⲏⲣ ϩⲓϫⲙⲡⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲉⲓⲉⲣⲟ ⲡⲉⲩⲫⲣⲁⲧⲏⲥ

15 The four angels were freed who had been prepared for this hour and day and month and year, so that they might kill one third of humanity.

ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲃⲱⲗ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲥⲃⲧⲱⲧ ⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲙⲛⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛⲡⲉⲃⲟⲧ ⲙⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲛϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲛⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ

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

ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲏⲡⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲥⲧⲣⲁⲧⲉⲩⲙⲁ ⲛⲛⲉϩⲧⲱⲱⲣ ⲡⲉ ⲧⲃⲁ ⲛⲧⲃⲁ ⲛⲥⲉⲡⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲁⲓⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲩⲏⲡⲉ

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 heads of lions. Out of their mouths proceed fire, smoke, and sulfur.

ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲛⲉϩⲧⲱⲱⲣ ⲙⲛⲛⲉⲧⲁⲗⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲛϩⲉⲛϩⲱⲕ ϩⲓⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲩⲁⲛ ⲛⲕⲱϩⲧ ϩⲓϩⲩⲁⲕⲓⲛⲑⲓⲛⲟⲛ ϩⲓⲑⲏⲛ ⲉⲣⲉⲛⲁⲡⲉⲩⲉ ⲛⲛⲉϩⲧⲱⲱⲣ ⲟ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲟⲩⲓ ⲉϥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓⲟⲩⲕⲱϩⲧ ⲙⲛⲟⲩⲕⲁⲡⲛⲟⲥ ⲙⲛⲟⲩⲑⲏⲛ

18 By these three plagues were one third of humanity killed: from the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur, which proceeded out of their mouths.

ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲧⲉⲓϣⲟⲙⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲗⲩⲅⲏ ⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓⲡⲟⲩⲛϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲛⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϩⲙⲡⲕⲱϩⲧ ⲙⲛⲡⲕⲁⲡⲛⲟⲥ ⲙⲛⲡⲉⲑⲏⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲣⲱⲟⲩ

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.

ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲛⲉϩⲧⲱⲱⲣ ϩⲛⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲙⲛⲛⲉⲩⲥⲁⲧ ⲛⲉⲩⲥⲁⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲩⲟ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛϩⲉⲛϩⲟϥ ⲉⲣⲉϩⲉⲛⲁⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲩϫⲓ ⲛϭⲟⲛⲥ

20 The rest of humanity, who were not killed with these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they would not worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of bronze, and of stone, and of wood; which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk.

21 They did not repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their sexual immorality, nor of their thefts.
