Revelation 9

KING JAMES BIBLEBIBLIA
1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.1 Tocó el quinto Angel... Entonces vi una estrella que había caído del cielo a la tierra. Se le dio la llave del pozo del Abismo.
2 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.2 Abrió el pozo del Abismo y subió del pozo una humareda como la de un horno grande, y el sol y el aire se oscurecieron con la humareda del pozo.
3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.3 De la humareda salieron langostas sobre la tierra, y se les dio un poder como el que tienen los escorpiones de la tierra.
4 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.4 Se les dijo que no causaran daño a la hierba de la tierra, ni a nada verde, ni a ningún árbol; sólo a los hombres que no llevaran en la frente el sello de Dios.
5 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 striketh a man.5 Se les dio poder, no para matarlos, sino para atormentarlos durante cinco meses. El tormento que producen es como el del escorpión cuando pica a alguien.
6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.6 En aquellos días, buscarán los hombres la muerte y no la encontrarán; desearán morir y la muerte huirá de ellos.
7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.7 La apariencia de estas langostas era parecida a caballos preparados para la guerra; sobre sus cabezas tenían como coronas que parecían de oro; sus rostros eran como rostros humanos;
8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.8 tenían cabellos como cabellos de mujer, y sus dientes eran como de león;
9 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.9 tenían corazas como corazas de hierro, y el ruido de sus alas como el estrépito de carros de muchos caballos que corren al combate;
10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.10 tienen colas parecidas a las de los escorpiones, con aguijones, y en sus colas, el poder de causar daño a los hombres durante cinco meses.
11 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 hath his name Apollyon.11 Tienen sobre sí, como rey, al Angel del Abismo, llamado en hebreo «Abaddón», y en griego «Apolíon».
12 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.12 El primer ¡Ay! ha pasado. Mira que detrás vienen todavía otros dos.
13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,13 Tocó el sexto Angel... Entonces oí una voz que salía de los cuatro cuernos del altar de oro que está delante de Dios;
14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.14 y decía al sexto Angel que tenía la trompeta: «Suelta a los cuatro Angeles atados junto al gran río Eufrates».
15 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.15 Y fueron soltados los cuatro Angeles que estaban preparados para la hora, el día, el mes y el año, para matar a la tercera parte de los hombres.
16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.16 El número de su tropa de caballería era de 200.000.000; pude oír su número.
17 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.17 Así vi en la visión los caballos y a los que los montaban: tenían corazas de color de fuego, de jacinto y de azufre; las cabezas de los caballos como cabezas de león y de sus bocas salía fuego y humo y azufre.
18 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.18 Y fue exterminada la tercera parte de los hombres por estas tres plagas: por el fuego, el humo y el azufre que salían de sus bocas.
19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.19 Porque el poder de los caballos está en su boca y en sus colas; pues sus colas, semejantes a serpientes, tienen cabezas y con ellas causan daño.
20 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:20 Pero los demás hombres, los no exterminados por estas plagas, no se convirtieron de las obras de sus manos; no dejaron de adorar a los demonios y a los ídolos de oro, de plata, de bronce, de piedra y de madera, que no pueden ver ni oír ni caminar.
21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.21 No se convirtieron de sus asesinatos ni de sus hechicerías ni de sus fornicaciones ni de sus rapiñas.
