The Revelation to John
9. fejezet
1. vers
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.
2. vers
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.
3. vers
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. vers
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. vers
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. vers
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. vers
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. vers
They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like those of lions.
9. vers
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. vers
They have tails like those of scorpions, with stingers. In their tails they have power to harm men for five months.
11. vers
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”.
12. vers
The first woe is past. Behold, there are still two woes coming after this.
13. vers
The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God,
14. vers
saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates!”
15. vers
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. vers
The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million. I heard the number of them.
17. vers
Thus I saw the horses in the vision and those who sat on them, having breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the horses’ heads resembled lions’ heads. Out of their mouths proceed fire, smoke, and sulfur.
18. vers
By these three plagues, one third of mankind was killed: by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur, which proceeded out of their mouths.
19. vers
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. vers
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. vers
They didn’t repent of their murders, their sorceries, their sexual immorality, or their thefts.
