Revelation 9 Apokalupsias Iōannou 9
1Kai tos pemptos angelos salpizata; kai horama asteron ek tou ouranou piptarēnton eis tan gēan, kai dōita auto tas kleidas teu freateu tau abussau;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. 2kai anoigata tem freatem tau abussau, kai anabainata kapnos ek teu freateu hōs kapnos kaminosau ⸀megau, kai ⸀skotita tos hēlios kai tos aeros ek tou kapnou teu freateu.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. 3kai ek tou kapnou exerchala akridais eis tan gēan, kai dōita autai exousias hōs echalō exousian tois skorpiois tau gēau.And out of the smoke, locusts descended on the earth, and they were given power like that of the scorpions of the earth. 4kai legita autai hina mē ⸀adikali ton chorton tau gēau oude pantem chlōrem oude pantem dendrem, ei mē toin anthrōpoin hotinois ouk echalō tan sfragidan tou theou epi teiu ⸀metōpeiu.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. 5kai dōita ⸀autoi hina mē apoktenaleia autoin, alla hina ⸀basanizili mēnoin pente; kai tos basanismos autaiu hōs basanismos skorpiou, hotan paiateia anthrōpon.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. 6kai en tai hēmerai ekeinai zētali tois anthrōpois ton thanaton kai ouk mē heuriskali auton, kai epithumali apothnēskara kai ⸀fugatō ⸂tos thanatos apo autoiu.⸃In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, but death will escape them.
7Kai teim homoiōmeim taiu akridaiu homoieim hippoi hetoimazorēntoi eis polemon, kai epi tain kefalain autaiu hōs stefanois ⸂homoiois chruso,⸃ kai teim prosōpeim autaiu hōs prosōpeim anthrōpoiu,And the locusts looked like horses prepared for battle, with something like crowns of gold on their heads; and their faces were like the faces of men. 8kai echale trichain hōs trichain gunaikaiu, kai tois odontois autaiu hōs leontoiu ale,They had hair like that of women, and teeth like those of lions. 9kai echale thōrakoin hōs thōrakoin sidērouoin, kai tas fōnas taiu pterugaiu autaiu hōs fōnas harmeiu hippoiu polloiu trecharōntoiu eis polemon;They also had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the roar of many horses and chariots rushing into battle. 10kai echalō ourain homoiain skorpioi kai kentreim, kai en tai ourai autaiu ⸂tas exousias autaiu⸃ adikara toin anthrōpoin mēnoin pente.They had tails with stingers like scorpions, which had the power to injure people for five months. 11⸂echalō epi autaiu basilevon ton⸃ angelon tau abussau; onomem auto Hebraisti Abaddōn ⸂kai en⸃ ta Hellēnika onomem echatō Apolluōnos.They were ruled by a king, the angel of the Abyss. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek it is Apollyon.
12Tas ouai tas henas aperchata; idou erchotō ēti duo ouai meta houteim.The first woe has passed. Behold, two woes are still to follow.
13Kai tos hektos angelos salpizata; kai akouama fōnan henan ek ⸀teiu kerateiu teu thusiastērieu teu chrusoueu teu enōpion tou theou,Then the sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God 14⸀legarōnton to hekto angelo, tos echarōntos tan salpingan; Luasar toin tessares angeloin toin dorēntoin epi to potamo to mego Eufrato.saying to the sixth angel with the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” 15kai luila tois tessares angelois tois hetoimazorēntois eis tan hōran ⸀kai hēmeran kai mēnon kai eniauton, hina apoktenaleia tem tritem toiu anthrōpoiu.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. 16kai tos arithmos teiu strateumeiu teu ⸀hippikeu ⸀dismuriadais muriadaiu; akouama ton arithmon auteiu.And the number of mounted troops was two hundred million; I heard their number. 17kai houtōs horama toin hippoin en ta horasia kai toin kathorōntoin epi autoiu, echarōntoin thōrakoin purinoin kai huakinthinoin kai theiōdoin; kai tais kefalais toiu hippoiu hōs kefalais leontoiu, kai ek teiu stomeiu autoiu ekporeuotō purem kai kapnos kai theiem.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. 18apo taiu treis plēgaiu houtaiu apoktenila tem tritem toiu anthrōpoiu, ⸀ek teu pureu kai tou kapnou kai teu theieu teu ekporeuorōnteu ek teiu stomeiu autoiu.A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke, and sulfur that proceeded from their mouths. 19tas gar exousias toiu hippoiu en te stome autoiu atō kai en tai ourai autoiu; tais gar ourais autoiu homoiais ⸀ofioi, echarōntais kefalain, kai en autai adikalō.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.
20Kai tois loipois toiu anthrōpoiu, hois ouk apoktenila en tai plēgai houtai, ⸀oude metanoala ek teiu ergeiu taiu cheiraiu autoiu, hina mē ⸀proskunali teim daimoneim kai teim eidōleim teim chrusoueim kai teim arguroueim kai teim chalkoueim kai teim lithineim kai teim xulineim, heim oute bleparō ⸀dunolō oute akouarō oute peripatarō,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. 21kai ouk metanoala ek toiu fonoiu autoiu oute ek teiu ⸀farmakeiu autoiu oute ek tau porneiau autoiu oute ek teiu klemmeiu autoiu.Furthermore, they did not repent of their murder, sorcery, sexual immorality, and theft.
