KING JAMES BIBLEEL LIBRO DEL PUEBLO DE DIOS
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 Cuando el quinto Angel tocó la trompeta, vi una estrella que había caído del cielo a la tierra. La estrella recibió 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 y cuando abrió el pozo, comenzó a subir un humo, como el de un gran horno, que oscureció el sol y el aire.
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 Del humo salieron langostas que se expandieron por toda la tierra, y estas recibieron 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 ordenó que no dañaran las praderas ni las plantas ni los árboles, sino solamente a los hombres que no llevaran la marca de Dios sobre la frente.
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 permitió, no que los mataran, sino que los atormentaran durante cinco meses, con un dolor parecido al que produce la picadura del escorpión.
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 los hombres buscarán la muerte, y no la encontrarán; querrán morir, pero 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 Las langostas parecían caballos equipados para la guerra: tenían en su cabeza algo parecido a coronas doradas y su rostro era semejante al rostro humano.
8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.8 Su cabello era como el de las mujeres y sus dientes como dientes de leones.
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 Su tórax parecía una coraza de hierro; y el zumbido de sus alas era como el ruido de carros de muchos caballos corriendo 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 Tenían colas con un aguijón como los escorpiones, y en ellas residía el poder para dañar 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 Su rey era el Angel del Abismo, cuyo nombre es «Destructor»: «Abadón», en hebreo, y «Apolión», en griego.
12 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.12 La primera calamidad ha pasado, pero sepan que todavía faltan dos más.
13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,13 Cuando el sexto Angel tocó la trompeta, escuché una voz que provenía de los cuatro ángulos 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 esa voz dijo al sexto Angel, al que tenía la trompeta: «Suelta a los cuatro Angeles que están encadenados 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 en que debían exterminar a una 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 Su ejército constaba de doscientos millones de jinetes: yo pude oír este 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 En la visión vi así a los caballos y a los jinetes: los jinetes llevaban corazas de fuego, de jacinto y de azufre; la cabeza de los caballos se parecía a la de los leones, y su boca vomitaba fuego, 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 Una tercera parte de los hombres fue exterminada por estas tres plagas: el fuego, el humo y el azufre que salía de la boca de los caballos.
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 esos caballos reside en su boca y en sus colas: sus colas son como serpientes, que tienen cabezas con las cuales hacen 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 Y el resto de los hombres que no habían sido dañados por las plagas, no se arrepintieron de sus obras ni dejaron de adorar a los demonios y a los ídolos de oro, de plata, de bronce, de piedra y de madera, que son incapaces de ver, de oír y de caminar.
21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.21 No, ellos no se arrepintieron de sus homicidios, ni de sus maleficios, ni de sus fornicaciones, ni de sus robos.
