Revelation 9

NEW JERUSALEM	GREEK BIBLE
1 Then the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fal en from heaven onto the earth, andthe angel was given the key to the shaft leading down to the Abyss.	1 Και ο πεμπτος αγγελος εσαλπισε? και ειδον οτι επεσεν εις την γην αστηρ εκ του ουρανου, και εδοθη εις αυτον το κλειδιον του φρεατος της αβυσσου.
2 When he unlocked the shaft of the Abyss, smoke rose out of the Abyss like the smoke from a hugefurnace so that the sun and the sky were darkened by the smoke from the Abyss,	2 Και ηνοιξε το φρεαρ της αβυσσου, και ανεβη καπνος εκ του φρεατος ως καπνος καμινου μεγαλης, και εσκοτισθη ο ηλιος και ο αηρ εκ του καπνου του φρεατος.
3 and out of the smoke dropped locusts onto the earth: they were given the powers that scorpions haveon the earth:	3 Και εκ του καπνου εξηλθον ακριδες εις την γην, και εδοθη εις αυτας εξουσια ως εχουσιν εξουσιαν οι σκορπιοι της γης?
4 they were forbidden to harm any fields or crops or trees and told to attack only those people who werewithout God's seal on their foreheads.	4 και ερρεθη προς αυτας να μη βλαψωσι τον χορτον της γης μηδε κανεν χλωρον μηδε κανεν δενδρον, ειμη τους ανθρωπους μονους, οιτινες δεν εχουσι την σφραγιδα του Θεου επι των μετωπων αυτων.
5 They were not to kil them, but to give them anguish for five months, and the anguish was to be theanguish of a scorpion's sting.	5 Και εδοθη εις αυτας να μη θανατωσωσιν αυτους, αλλα να βασανισθωσι πεντε μηνας? και ο βασανισμος αυτων ητο ως βασανισμος σκορπιου, οταν κτυπηση ανθρωπον.
6 When this happens, people wil long for death and not find it anywhere; they wil want to die and deathwil evade them.	6 Και εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις θελουσι ζητησει οι ανθρωποι τον θανατον και δεν θελουσιν ευρει αυτον, και θελουσιν επιθυμησει να αποθανωσι, και ο θανατος θελει φυγει απ' αυτων.
7 These locusts looked like horses armoured for battle; they had what looked like gold crowns on theirheads, and their faces looked human,	7 Και αι μορφαι των ακριδων ησαν ομοιαι με ιππους ητοιμασμενους εις πολεμον, και επι τας κεφαλας αυτων ησαν ως στεφανοι ομοιοι με χρυσον, και τα προσωπα αυτων ως προσωπα ανθρωπων.
8 and their hair was like women's hair, and teeth like lion's teeth.	8 Και ειχον τριχας ως τριχας γυναικων, και οι οδοντες αυτων ησαν ως λεοντων,
9 They had body-armour like iron breastplates, and the noise of their wings sounded like the racket ofchariots with many horses charging.	9 και ειχον θωρακας ως θωρακας σιδηρους, και η φωνη των πτερυγων αυτων ητο ως φωνη αμαξων ιππων πολλων τρεχοντων εις πολεμον.
10 Their tails were like scorpions' tails, with stings, and with their tails they were able to torture people forfive months.	10 Και ειχον ουρας ομοιας με σκορπιους και ησαν κεντρα εις τας ουρας αυτων, και η εξουσια αυτων ητο να βλαψωσι τους ανθρωπους πεντε μηνας.
11 As their leader they had their emperor, the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon,and in Greek Apol yon.	11 Και ειχον εφ' εαυτων βασιλεα τον αγγελον της αβυσσου, οστις Εβραιστι ονομαζεται Αβαδδων, και εις την Ελληνικην εχει ονομα Απολλυων.
12 That was the first of the disasters; there are stil two more to come.	12 Η ουαι η μια απηλθεν? ιδου, ερχονται ετι δυο ουαι μετα ταυτα.
13 The sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a single voice issuing from the four horns of the goldenaltar in God's presence.	13 Και ο εκτος αγγελος εσαλπισε? και ηκουσα μιαν φωνην εκ των τεσσαρων κερατων του θυσιαστηριου του χρυσου του ενωπιον του Θεου,
14 It spoke to the sixth angel with the trumpet, and said, 'Release the four angels that are chained up atthe great river Euphrates.'	14 λεγουσαν προς τον εκτον αγγελον, οστις ειχε την σαλπιγγα? Λυσον τους τεσσαρας αγγελους τους δεδεμενους εις τον μεγαν ποταμον Ευφρατην.
15 These four angels had been ready for this hour of this day of this month of this year, and ready todestroy a third of the human race.	15 Και ελυθησαν οι τεσσαρες αγγελοι, οι ητοιμασμενοι εις την ωραν και ημεραν και μηνα και ενιαυτον, δια να θανατωσωσι το τριτον των ανθρωπων.
16 I learnt how many there were in their army: twice ten thousand times ten thousand mounted men.	16 Και ο αριθμος των στρατευματων του ιππικου ητο δυο μυριαδες μυριαδων? και ηκουσα τον αριθμον αυτων.
17 In my vision I saw the horses, and the riders with their breastplates of flame colour, hyacinth-blue andsulphur-yel ow; the horses had lions' heads, and fire, smoke and sulphur were coming from their mouths.	17 Και ουτως ειδον τους ιππους εν τη ορασει και τους καθημενους επ' αυτων, οτι ειχον θωρακας πυρινους και υακινθινους και θειωδεις? και αι κεφαλαι των ιππων ησαν ως κεφαλαι λεοντων, και εκ των στοματων αυτων εξηρχετο πυρ και καπνος και θειον.
18 It was by these three plagues, the fire, the smoke and the sulphur coming from their mouths, that theone third of the human race was killed.	18 υπο των τριων τουτων εθανατωθησαν το τριτον των ανθρωπων? εκ του πυρος και εκ του καπνου και εκ του θειου του εξερχομενου εκ των στοματων αυτων.
19 Al the horses' power was in their mouths and their tails: their tails were like snakes, and had headswhich inflicted wounds.	19 Διοτι αι εξουσιαι αυτων ειναι εν τω στοματι αυτων, επειδη αι ουραι αυτων ειναι ομοιαι με οφεις, εχουσαι κεφαλας, και με αυτας βλαπτουσι.
20 But the rest of the human race, who escaped death by these plagues, refused either to abandon theirown handiwork or to stop worshipping devils, the idols made of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood that canneither see nor hear nor move.	20 Και οι λοιποι των ανθρωπων, οιτινες δεν εθανατωθησαν με τας πληγας ταυτας, ουτε μετενοησαν απο των εργων των χειρων αυτων, ωστε να μη προσκυνησωσι τα δαιμονια και τα ειδωλα τα χρυσα και τα αργυρα και τα χαλκινα και τα λιθινα και τα ξυλινα, τα οποια ουτε να βλεπωσι δυνανται ουτε να ακουωσιν ουτε να περιπατωσι,
21 Nor did they give up their murdering, or witchcraft, or fornication or stealing.	21 και δεν μετενοησαν εκ των φονων αυτων ουτε εκ των φαρμακειων αυτων ουτε εκ της πορνειας αυτων ουτε εκ των κλοπων αυτων.
