New Testament

Revelation 9

1Then the fifth angel sounded: And I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit.

και ο πεμπτος αγγελος εσαλπισεν· και ειδον αστερα εκ του ουρανου πεπτωκοτα εις την γην, και εδοθη αυτω η κλεις του φρεατος της αβυσσου,

2And he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. So the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit.

[και ηνοιξεν το φρεαρ της αβυσσου,] και ανεβη καπνος εκ του φρεατος ως καπνος καμινου καιομενης, και εσκοτισθη ο ηλιος και ο αηρ εκ του καπνου του φρεατος.

3Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

και εκ του καπνου εξηλθον ακριδες εις την γην, και εδοθη αυταις εξουσια ως εχουσιν εξουσιαν οι σκορπιοι της γης·

4They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.

και ερρεθη αυταις ινα μη αδικησωσιν τον χορτον της γης ουδε παν χλωρον ουδε παν δενδρον, ει μη τους ανθρωπους οιτινες ουκ εχουσιν την σφραγιδα του θεου επι των μετωπων αυτων.

5And they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man.

και εδοθη αυταις ινα μη αποκτεινωσιν αυτους, αλλ ινα βασανισθωσιν μηνας πεντε· και ο βασανισμος αυτων ως βασανισμος σκορπιου, οταν παιση ανθρωπον.

6In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them.

και εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις ζητησουσιν οι ανθρωποι τον θανατον και ου μη ευρησουσιν αυτον, και επιθυμησουσιν αποθανειν, και φευξεται απ αυτων ο θανατος.

7The shape of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were crowns of something like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men.

και τα ομοιωματα των ακριδων ομοια ιπποις ητοιμασμενοις εις πολεμον, και επι τας κεφαλας αυτων ως στεφανοι ομοιοι χρυσιω, και τα προσωπα αυτων ως προσωπα ανθρωπων,

8They had hair like women's hair, and their teeth were like lions' teeth.

και ειχον τριχας ως τριχας γυναικων, και οι οδοντες αυτων ως λεοντων ησαν,

9And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots with many horses running into battle.

και ειχον θωρακας ως θωρακας σιδηρους, και η φωνη των πτερυγων αυτων ως φωνη αρματων ιππων πολλων τρεχοντων εις πολεμον.

10They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men five months.

και εχουσιν ουρας ομοιας σκορπιοις και κεντρα, και εν ταις ουραις αυτων εξουσιαν [εχουσιν] του αδικησαι τους ανθρωπους μηνας πεντε.

11And they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon.

εχουσιν βασιλεα επ αυτων [τον] αγγελον της αβυσσου· ονομα αυτω εβραιστι αβαδδων, εν δε τη ελληνικη ονομα εχει απολλυων.

12One woe is past. Behold, still two more woes are coming after these things.

η ουαι η μια απηλθεν· ιδου ερχονται ετι δυο ουαι μετα ταυτα.

13Then the sixth angel sounded: And I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,

και ο εκτος αγγελος εσαλπισεν· και ηκουσα φωνην μιαν εκ των τεσσαρων κερατων του θυσιαστηριου του χρυσου του ενωπιον του θεου,

14saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, 'Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.'

λεγοντος τω εκτω αγγελω· ο εχων την σαλπιγγα, λυσον τους τεσσαρας αγγελους τους δεδεμενους επι τω ποταμω τω μεγαλω ευφρατη.

15So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind.

και ελυθησαν οι τεσσαρες αγγελοι οι ητοιμασμενοι εις την ωραν και [εις] την ημεραν και μηνα και ενιαυτον, ινα αποκτεινωσιν το τριτον των ανθρωπων.

16Now the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them.

και ο αριθμος των στρατευματων του ιππου [δυο] μυριαδες μυριαδων· ηκουσα τον αριθμον αυτων.

17And thus I saw the horses in the vision: those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone.

[και] ουτως ειδον τους ιππους εν τη ορασει και τους καθημενους επ αυτων, εχοντας θωρακας πυρινους και υακινθινους και θειωδεις· και αι κεφαλαι των ιππων ως κεφαλαι λεοντων, και εκ των στοματων αυτων εκπορευεται πυρ και καπνος και θειον.

18By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed—by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their mouths.

απο των τριων πληγων τουτων απεκτανθησαν το τριτον των ανθρωπων, εκ του πυρος και του καπνου και του θειου του εκπορευομενου εκ των στοματων αυτων.

19For their power is in their mouth and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads; and with them they do harm.

η γαρ εξουσια των ιππων εν τω στοματι αυτων εστιν και εν ταις ουραις αυτων· αι γαρ ουραι αυτων ομοιαι οφεσιν, εχουσαι κεφαλας, και εν αυταις αδικουσιν.

20But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk.

και οι λοιποι των ανθρωπων, οι ουκ απεκτανθησαν εν ταις πληγαις ταυταις, ου μετενοησαν εκ των εργων των χειρων αυτων, ινα μη προσκυνησωσιν τα δαιμονια και τα ειδωλα τα χρυσα και τα αργυρα και τα χαλκα και τα λιθινα και τα ξυλινα, α ουτε βλεπειν δυναται ουτε ακουειν ουτε περιπατειν,

21And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.

και ου μετενοησαν εκ των φονων αυτων ουτε εκ των φαρμακειων αυτων ουτε εκ της πορνειας αυτων ουτε εκ των κλεμματων αυτων.
