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, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. (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 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)

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 there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, 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 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.

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 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 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 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 shapes of the locusts [were] like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads [were] as it were crowns like gold, and their faces [were] 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 as 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 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.

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 unto 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, [which is] the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue [is] Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath [ his] name Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)

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

One woe is past; [and], behold, there come two woes more hereafter.

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, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,

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

Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in 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 loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay 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 the army of the horsemen [were] two hundred thousand thousand: and 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 sulphur yellow; and the horses’ heads resembled lions’ heads. Out of their mouths proceed fire, smoke, and sulphur.

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.

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

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.

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: for their tails [were] like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.

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 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:

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

Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
