Revelation 9

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Biblija Hrvatski
1 Then the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. It was given the key for the passage to the abyss.	1 Peti anđeo zatrubi. I vidjeh: zvijezda je s neba na zemlju pala i dani su joj ključi zjala Bezdanova.
2 It opened the passage to the abyss, and smoke came up out of the passage like smoke from a huge furnace. The sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the passage.	2 Ona otvori zjalo Bezdanovo i vinu se iz zjala dim kao dim iz peći goleme te pomrča sunce i zrak od dima iz zjala.
3 Locusts came out of the smoke onto the land, and they were given the same power as scorpions of the earth.	3 Iz dima pak iziđoše na zemlju skakavci i dana im je moć kakvu imaju štipavci zemaljski.
4 They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or any tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.	4 I zapovjeđeno im je da ne ude travi zemaljskoj nit ikojem zelenilu nit ikojem stablu, nego samo ljudima koji nemaju pečata Božjega na čelu.
5 They were not allowed to kill them but only to torment them for five months; the torment they inflicted was like that of a scorpion when it stings a person.	5 I dano im je ne da ih ubijaju, nego samo da ih muče pet mjeseci, a muka njihova da bude kao muka od uboda štipavaca.
6 During that time these people will seek death but will not find it, and they will long to die but death will escape them.	6 U one će dane ljudi iskati smrt, ali je neće naći; poželjet će umrijeti, ali smrt će bježati od njih.
7 The appearance of the locusts was like that of horses ready for battle. On their heads they wore what looked like crowns of gold; their faces were like human faces,	7 Skakavci bijahu izgledom nalik na konje za boj spremne. Na glavama im kao neki zlatni vijenci, lica im kao u ljudi,
8 and they had hair like women's hair. Their teeth were like lions' teeth,	8 kose kao u žena, a zubi kao u lavova.
9 and they had chests like iron breastplates. The sound of their wings was like the sound of many horse-drawn chariots racing into battle.	9 Imahu oklope kao od željeza, a šum krila njihovih kao štropot bojnih kola s mnogo konja što u boj jure.
10 They had tails like scorpions, with stingers; with their tails they had power to harm people for five months.	10 Repovi im kao u štipavaca, sa žalcima, a u repovima im moć da ude ljudima pet mjeseci.
11 They had as their king the angel of the abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon and in Greek Apollyon.	11 Nad njima je kralj, anđeo Bezdana, hebrejski mu ime Abadon, grčki Apolion – Upropastitelj.
12 The first woe has passed, but there are two more to come.	12 Prvi Jao prođe. Evo, za njim dolaze još dva druga Jao.
13 Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice coming from the [four] horns of the gold altar before God,	13 Šesti anđeo zatrubi. I začujem neki glas iz rogova zlatnoga žrtvenika pred Bogom.
14 telling the sixth angel who held the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound at the banks of the great river Euphrates."	14 Govoraše šestom anđelu koji je držao trublju: »Odriješi ona četiri anđela svezana na Rijeci velikoj, Eufratu.«
15 So the four angels were released, who were prepared for this hour, day, month, and year to kill a third of the human race.	15 I odriješena bijahu četiri anđela, spremna za taj čas i dan i mjesec i godinu, da pobiju trećinu ljudi.
16 The number of cavalry troops was two hundred million; I heard their number.	16 A broj četa konjaničkih, kako sam čuo, bijaše dvije mirijade mirijada.
17 Now in my vision this is how I saw the horses and their riders. They wore red, blue, and yellow breastplates, and the horses' heads were like heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and sulfur.	17 Ovako u viđenju vidjeh konje i njihove jahače: imahu oklope ognjene, plavetne i sumporne boje; glave im kao u lavova, iz usta im sukljao oganj, dim i sumpor.
18 By these three plagues of fire, smoke, and sulfur that came out of their mouths a third of the human race was killed.	18 Od ovih triju zála poginu trećina ljudi – od ognja, dima i sumpora što sukljahu konjima iz usta.
19 For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails; for their tails are like snakes, with heads that inflict harm.	19 Doista, snaga je ovim konjima u ustima i repovima: repovi im kao u zmija, s glavama kojima ude.
20 The rest of the human race, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, to give up the worship of demons and idols made from gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk.	20 Ipak, preostali ljudi, što ne poginuše od tih zála, ne obratiše se od djela ruku svojih, da se više ne klanjaju zlodusima i kumirima – ni zlatnima, ni srebrnima, ni mjedenima, ni kamenima, ni drvenima koji niti vide niti čuju nit hodaju –
21 Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic potions, their unchastity, or their robberies.	21 i ne obratiše se od svojih ubojstava ni od svojih čaranja ni od svoga bluda niti od svojih krađa.
