Apocalisse 9

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Et quintus angelus tuba cecinit. Et vidi stellam de caelo cecidis se interram, et data est illi clavis putei abyssi.	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.
2 Et aperuit puteum abyssi, etascendit fumus ex puteo sicut fumus fornacis magnae; et obscuratus est sol etaer de fumo putei.	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.
3 Et de fumo exierunt locustae in terram, et data est illispotestas, sicut habent potestatem scorpiones terrae.	3 Locusts came out of the smoke onto the land, and they were given the same power as scorpions of the earth.
4 Et dictum est illis, nelaederent fenum terrae neque omne viride neque omnem arborem, nisi tantumhomines, qui non habent signum Dei in frontibus.	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.
5 Et datum est illis, neocciderent eos, sed ut cruciarentur mensibus quinque; et cruciatus eorum utcruciatus scorpii, cum percutit hominem.	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.
6 Et in diebus illis quaerent hominesmortem et non invenient eam; et desiderabunt mori, et fugit mors ab ipsis.	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.
7 Et similitudines locustarum similes equis paratis in proelium, et super capitaearum tamquam coronae similes auro, et facies earum sicut facies hominum;	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,
8 ethabebant capillos sicut capillos mulierum, et dentes earum sicut leonum erant,	8 and they had hair like women's hair. Their teeth were like lions' teeth,
9 et habebant loricas sicut loricas ferreas, et vox alarum earum sicut vox curruumequorum multorum currentium in bellum.	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.
10 Et habent caudas similes scorpionibuset aculeos, et in caudis earum potestas earum nocere hominibus mensibus quinque.	10 They had tails like scorpions, with stingers; with their tails they had power to harm people for five months.
11 Habent super se regem angelum abyssi, cui nomen Hebraice Abaddon et Graecenomen habet Apollyon.	11 They had as their king the angel of the abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon and in Greek Apollyon.
12 Vae unum abiit. Ecce veniunt adhuc duo vae post haec.	12 The first woe has passed, but there are two more to come.
13 Et sextus angelus tuba cecinit. Et audivi vocem unam ex cornibus altarisaurei, quod est ante Deum,	13 Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice coming from the [four] horns of the gold altar before God,
14 dicentem sexto angelo, qui habebat tubam: “Solve quattuor angelos, qui alligati sunt super flumen magnum Euphraten ”.	14 telling the sixth angel who held the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound at the banks of the great river Euphrates."
15 Et soluti sunt quattuor angeli, qui parati erant in horam et diem et mensem etannum, ut occiderent tertiam partem hominum.	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.
16 Et numerus equestris exercitusvicies milies dena milia; audivi numerum eorum.	16 The number of cavalry troops was two hundred million; I heard their number.
17 Et ita vidi equos in visioneet, qui sedebant super eos, habentes loricas igneas et hyacinthinas etsulphureas; et capita equorum erant tamquam capita leonum, et de ore ipsorumprocedit ignis et fumus et sulphur.	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.
18 Ab his tribus plagis occisa est tertiapars hominum, de igne et fumo et sulphure, quod procedebat ex ore ipsorum.	18 By these three plagues of fire, smoke, and sulfur that came out of their mouths a third of the human race was killed.
19 Potestas enim equorum in ore eorum est et in caudis eorum; nam caudae illorumsimiles serpentibus habentes capita, et in his nocent.	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.
20 Et ceteri homines, qui non sunt occisi in his plagis neque paenitentiamegerunt de operibus manuum suarum, ut non adorarent daemonia et simulacra aureaet argentea et aerea et lapidea et lignea, quae neque videre possunt nequeaudire neque ambulare,	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.
21 et non egerunt paenitentiam ab homicidiis suis neque aveneficiis suis neque a fornicatione sua neque a furtis suis.	21 Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic potions, their unchastity, or their robberies.
