Fakahā 9

1 Pea naʻe ifi ʻe hono nima ʻoe ʻāngelo, pea u mamata naʻe tō ʻae fetuʻu mei he langi ki he fonua; pea naʻe ʻatu kiate ia ʻae kī ʻoe luo taʻehanotakele. (Abyssos g12)

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)

2 Pea naʻe fakaava ʻe ia ʻae luo taʻehanotakele; pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae kohu mei he luo, ʻo hangē ko e kohu ʻoe fuʻu luo afi; pea ko e meʻa ʻi he kohu ʻoe luo, naʻe fakapoʻuli ʻae laʻā mo e ʻatā. (Abyssos g12)

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)

3 Pea naʻe haʻu mei he kohu ʻae fanga heʻe ki he fonua: pea naʻe ʻatu ki ai ʻae mālohi, ʻo hangē ko e mālohi ʻoe fanga sikopio ʻoe fonua.

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

4 Pea naʻe fekau kiate kinautolu ke ʻoua te nau maumau ʻae mohuku ʻoe fonua, pe ha meʻa mata ʻe taha, pe ha ʻakau; ka ko e kau tangata pe ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻi honau foʻi laʻē ʻae fakaʻilonga ʻae ʻOtua.

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.

5 Pea naʻe tuku kiate kinautolu ke ʻoua naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu, ka ke fakamamahiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he māhina ʻe nima: pea ko ʻenau mamahi naʻe tatau mo e mamahi ʻoe tangata kuo taaʻi ʻe he sikopio.

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.

6 Pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, ʻe kumi ʻae kakai ki he mate, ka ʻe ʻikai ʻilo ia; pea te nau holi ke mate, ka ʻe puna ʻae mate meiate kinautolu.

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.

7 Pea ko e sino ʻoe fanga heʻe naʻe tatau mo e fanga hoosi kuo teuteu ki he tau; pea naʻe ʻi honau ʻulu ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi pale koula, pea ko honau mata naʻe tatau mo e mata ʻoe tangata.

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.

8 Pea naʻa nau louʻulu ʻo hangē ko e louʻulu ʻoe kau fefine, pea ko honau kau nifo naʻe hangē [ko e nifo ]ʻoe fanga laione.

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

9 Pea naʻe ai honau ngaahi sifa fatafata, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi sifa fatafata ukamea; pea ko e patū ʻo honau kapakau naʻe tatau mo e longoaʻa. ʻOe ngaahi saliote, mo e fanga hoosi lahi ʻoku feleleʻi ki he tau.

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

10 Pea naʻe ai honau ngaahi iku ʻo hangē ko e fanga sikopio, pea naʻe ʻi honau ngaahi iku ʻae ngaahi huhu: pea naʻa nau mālohi ke tautea ʻae kakai ʻi he māhina ʻe nima.

They have tails like those of scorpions, with stingers. In their tails they have power to harm men for five months.

11 Pea naʻe ai ʻae tuʻi kiate kinautolu, ko e ʻāngelo ʻoe luo taʻehanotakele, ko hono hingoa ʻi he lea fakaHepelū ko ʻApatoni, ka ko hono hingoa ʻi he lea fakaKiliki ko ʻApolione. (Abyssos g12)

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)

12 Kuo hili ange ʻae malaʻia ʻe taha; vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻamui ʻae malaʻia kehe ʻe ua,

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

13 Pea naʻe ifi ʻe hono ono ʻoe ʻāngelo, pea u fanongo ki he leʻo mei he nifo ʻe fā ʻoe ʻesifeilaulau koula ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua,

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

14 ‌ʻOku pehē ki hono ono ʻoe ʻāngelo, naʻe ʻi ai ʻae meʻa lea, “Vevete ʻae kau ʻāngelo ʻe toko fā, ʻaia kuo haʻisia ʻi he vaitafe lahi ko ʻIufaleti.”

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

15 Pea naʻe vete ange ʻae kau ʻāngelo ʻe toko fā, ʻakinautolu naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ki ha feituʻulaʻā, pea ki ha ʻaho, pea ki ha māhina, pea ki ha taʻu, koeʻuhi ke tāmateʻi ʻa hono tolu ʻoe vahe ʻoe kakai.

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.

16 Pea ko hono lau ʻoe tau, ko e kau tangata heka hoosi ko e toko uangeau miliona: pea ne u fanongo ki honau lau.

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

17 Pea naʻe pehē pē ʻa ʻeku mamata ki he fanga hoosi, ʻi he meʻa naʻe hā mai, mo kinautolu naʻe heka ai, ko honau sifa fatafata naʻe lanu ki he afi, mo e lanu moana, mo e felofelo: pea ko e ʻulu ʻoe fanga hoosi naʻe tatau mo e ʻulu ʻoe fanga laione; pea naʻe ʻoho mei honau ngutu ʻae afi, mo e ʻohuafi, mo e sulifa.

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.

18 Ko e meʻa ko eni ʻe tolu naʻe tāmate ʻaki ʻa hono tolu ʻoe vahe ʻoe kakai, ʻae afi, mo e ʻohuafi, mo e sulifa, ʻaia naʻe ʻoho mei honau ngutu.

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

19 He ko honau mālohi ʻoku ʻi honau ngutu, mo honau iku: he naʻe tatau honau iku mo e fanga ngata, pea naʻe fakaʻulu, pea ko ia ʻoku nau fai ʻaki ʻae maumau.

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.

20 Pea ko hono toe ʻoe kakai naʻe ʻikai ke tāmateʻi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi fakamamahi ni, naʻe ʻikai te nau fakatomala ʻi he ngaahi ngāue ʻa honau nima, ke ʻoua te nau hū ki he kau tēvolo, mo e ngaahi tamapua koula, mo e siliva, mo e palasa, mo e maka, mo e ʻakau: ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai faʻa mamata, pe fanongo, pe ʻaʻeva:

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.

21 Pea naʻe ʻikai tenau fakatomala ʻi he ʻenau ngaahi fakapō, mo ʻenau ngaahi fie mana, mo ʻenau feʻauaki, mo ʻenau faʻa kaihaʻa.

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