مکاشفهٔ یوحنا 9

۱ 1 و چون فرشته پنجم نواخت، ستاره‌ای رادیدم که بر زمین افتاده بود و کلید چاه هاویه بدو داده شد. (Abyssos g12)

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)

۲ 2 و چاه هاویه را گشاد ودودی چون دود تنوری عظیم از چاه بالا آمد وآفتاب و هوا از دود چاه تاریک گشت. (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)

۳ 3 و از میان دود، ملخها به زمین برآمدند و به آنها قوتی چون قوت عقربهای زمین داده شد

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.

۴ 4 و بدیشان گفته شدکه ضرر نرسانند نه به گیاه زمین و نه به هیچ سبزی و نه به درختی بلکه به آن مردمانی که مهر خدا رابر پیشانی خود ندارند.

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.

۵ 5 و به آنها داده شد که ایشان را نکشند بلکه تا مدت پنج ماه معذب بدارند و اذیت آنها مثل اذیت عقرب بود، وقتی که کسی را نیش زند.

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.

۶ 6 و در آن ایام، مردم طلب موت خواهند کرد و آن را نخواهند یافت و تمنای موت خواهند داشت، اما موت از ایشان خواهدگریخت.

And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.

۷ 7 و صورت ملخها چون اسبهای آراسته شده برای جنگ بود و بر سر ایشان مثل تاجهای شبیه طلا، و چهره های ایشان شبیه صورت انسان بود.

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.

۸ 8 و مویی داشتند چون موی زنان، و دندانهایشان مانند دندانهای شیران بود.

And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.

۹ 9 و جوشنها داشتند، چون جوشنهای آهنین و صدای بالهای ایشان، مثل صدای ارابه های اسبهای بسیار که به جنگ همی تازند.

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.

۱۰ 10 و دمها چون عقربها با نیشهاداشتند؛ و در دم آنها قدرت بود که تا مدت پنج ماه مردم را اذیت نمایند.

And they had tails like to scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.

۱۱ 11 و بر خود، پادشاهی داشتند که ملک الهاویه است که در عبرانی به ابدون مسمی است و در یونانی او را اپلیون خوانند. (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 has his name Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)

۱۲ 12 یک وای گذشته است. اینک دو وای دیگر بعد از این می‌آید.

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

۱۳ 13 و فرشته ششم بنواخت که ناگاه آوازی از میان چهار شاخ مذبح طلایی که در حضور خداست شنیدم

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

۱۴ 14 که به آن فرشته ششم که صاحب کرنابود می‌گوید: «آن چهار فرشته را که بر نهر عظیم فرات بسته‌اند، خلاص کن.»

Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.

۱۵ 15 پس آن چهارفرشته که برای ساعت و روز و ماه و سال معین مهیا شده‌اند تا اینکه ثلث مردم را بکشند، خلاصی یافتند.

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.

۱۶ 16 و عدد جنود سواران، دویست هزار هزار بود که عدد ایشان را شنیدم.

And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.

۱۷ 17 و به اینطور اسبان و سواران ایشان را دررویا دیدم که جوشنهای آتشین و آسمانجونی وکبریتی دارند و سرهای اسبان چون سر شیران است و از دهانشان آتش و دود و کبریت بیرون می‌آید.

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.

۱۸ 18 از این سه بلا یعنی آتش و دود وکبریت که از دهانشان برمی آید، ثلث مردم هلاک شدند.

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.

۱۹ 19 زیرا که قدرت اسبان در دهان و دم ایشان است، زیرا که دمهای آنها چون مارهاست که سرها دارد و به آنها اذیت می‌کنند.

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.

۲۰ 20 و سایرمردم که به این بلایا کشته نگشتند، از اعمال دستهای خود توبه نکردند تا آنکه عبادت دیوها وبتهای طلا و نقره و برنج و سنگ و چوب را که طاقت دیدن و شنیدن و خرامیدن ندارند، ترک کنند؛

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:

۲۱ 21 و از قتل‌ها و جادوگریها و زنا و دزدیهای خود توبه نکردند.

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