Apocalypsis 9
1 Et quintus Angelus tuba cecinit: et vidi stellam de caelo cecidisse in terram, et data est ei clavis putei abyssi. (Abyssos g12)
Then the fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to earth, and it was given the key to the pit of the Abyss. (Abyssos g12)
2 Et aperuit puteum abyssi: et ascendit fumus putei, sicut fumus fornacis magnae: et obscuratus est sol, et aer de fumo putei: (Abyssos g12)
The star opened the pit of the Abyss, and smoke rose out of it like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the pit. (Abyssos g12)
3 Et de fumo putei exierunt locustae in terram, et data est illis potestas, sicut habent potestatem scorpiones terrae:
And out of the smoke, locusts descended on the earth, and they were given power like that of the scorpions of the earth.
4 et praeceptum est illis ne laederent foenum terrae, neque omne viride, neque omnem arborem: nisi tantum homines, qui non habent signum Dei in frontibus suis.
They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
5 Et datum est illis ne occiderent eos: sed ut cruciarent mensibus quinque: et cruciatus eorum, ut cruciatus scorpii cum percutit hominem.
The locusts were not given power to kill them, but only to torment them for five months, and their torment was like the stinging of a scorpion.
6 Et in diebus illis quaerent homines mortem, et non invenient eam: et desiderabunt mori, et fugiet mors ab eis.
In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, but death will escape them.
7 Et similitudines locustarum, similes equis paratis in proelium: et super capita earum tamquam coronae similes auro: et facies earum tamquam facies hominum.
And the locusts looked like horses prepared for battle, with something like crowns of gold on their heads, and faces like the faces of men.
8 Et habebant capillos sicut capillos mulierum: et dentes earum, sicut dentes leonum erant:
They had hair like that of women, and teeth like those of lions.
9 et habebant loricas sicut loricas ferreas, et vox alarum earum sicut vox curruum equorum multorum currentium in bellum:
They also had thoraxes like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the roar of many horses and chariots rushing into battle.
10 et habebant caudas similes scorpionum, et aculei erant in caudis earum: et potestas earum nocere hominibus mensibus quinque:
They had tails with stingers like scorpions, which had the power to injure people for five months.
11 et habebant super se regem angelum abyssi, cui nomen Hebraice Abaddon, Graece autem Apollyon, Latine habens nomen Exterminans. (Abyssos g12)
They were ruled by a king, the angel of the Abyss. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek it is Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)
12 Vae unum abiit, et ecce veniunt adhuc duo vae post haec.
The first woe has passed. Behold, two woes are still to follow.
13 Et sextus Angelus tuba cecinit: et audivi vocem unam ex quattuor cornibus altaris aurei, quod est ante oculos Dei,
Then the sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God
14 dicentem sexto Angelo, qui habebat tubam: Solve quattuor angelos, qui alligati sunt in flumine magno Euphrate.
saying to the sixth angel with the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.”
15 Et soluti sunt quattuor Angeli, qui parati erant in horam, et diem, et mensem, et annum: ut occiderent tertiam partem hominum.
So the four angels who had been prepared for this hour and day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind.
16 Et numerus equestris exercitus vicies millies dena millia. Et audivi numerum eorum.
And the number of mounted troops was two hundred million; I heard their number.
17 Et ita vidi equos in visione: et qui sedebant super eos, habebant loricas igneas, et hyacinthinas, et sulphureas, et capita equorum erant tamquam capita leonum: et de ore eorum procedit ignis, et fumus, et sulphur.
Now the horses and riders in my vision looked like this: The riders had breastplates the colors of fire, sapphire, and sulfur. The heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths proceeded fire, smoke, and sulfur.
18 Et ab his tribus plagis occisa est tertia pars hominum de igne, et de fumo, et sulphure, quae procedebant de ore ipsorum.
A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke, and sulfur that proceeded from their mouths.
19 Potestas enim equorum in ore eorum est, et in caudis eorum. nam caudae eorum similes serpentibus, habentes capita: et in his nocent.
For the power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails; indeed, their tails were like snakes, having heads with which to inflict harm.
20 Et ceteri homines, qui non sunt occisi in his plagis, neque poenitentiam egerunt de operibus manuum suarum, ut non adorarent daemonia, et simulachra aurea, et argentea, et aerea, et lapidea, et lignea, quae neque videre possunt, neque audire, neque ambulare,
Now the rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the works of their hands. They did not stop worshiping demons and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk.
21 et non egerunt poenitentiam ab homicidiis suis, neque a veneficiis suis, neque a fornicatione sua, neque a furtis suis.
Furthermore, they did not repent of their murder, sorcery, sexual immorality, and theft.
