Apocalipse 9

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 O quinto anjo tocou a trombeta. Vi então uma estrela cair do céu na terra, e foi-lhe dada a chave do poço do abismo;	1 And the fifth Angel sounded the trumpet. And I saw upon the earth, a star that had fallen from heaven, and the key to the well of the abyss was given to him.
2 ela o abriu e saiu do poço uma fumaça como a de uma grande fornalha. O sol e o ar obscureceram-se com a fumaça do poço.	2 And he opened the well of the abyss. And the smoke of the well ascended, like the smoke of a great furnace. And the sun and the air were obscured by the smoke of the well.
3 Da fumaça saíram gafanhotos pela terra, e foi-lhes dado poder semelhante ao dos escorpiões da terra.	3 And locusts went forth from the smoke of the well into the earth. And power was given to them, like the power that the scorpions of the earth have.
4 Mas foi-lhes dito que não causassem dano à erva, verdura, ou árvore alguma, mas somente aos homens que não têm o selo de Deus na fronte.	4 And it was commanded of them that they must not harm the plants of the earth, nor anything green, nor any tree, but only those men who do not have the Seal of God upon their foreheads.
5 Foi-lhes ordenado que não os matassem, mas os afligissem por cinco meses. Seu tormento era como o da picada do escorpião.	5 And it was given to them that they would not kill them, but that they would torture them for five months. And their torture was like the torture of a scorpion, when he strikes a man.
6 Naqueles dias, os homens buscarão a morte e não a conseguirão; desejarão morrer, e a morte fugirá deles.	6 And in those days, men will seek death and they will not find it. And they will desire to die, and death will flee from them.
7 O aspecto desses gafanhotos era o de cavalos aparelhados para a guerra. Nas suas cabeças havia uma espécie de coroa com reflexos dourados. Seus rostos eram como rostos de homem,	7 And the likenesses of the locusts resembled horses prepared for battle. And upon their heads were something like crowns similar to gold. And their faces were like the faces of men.
8 seus cabelos como os de mulher e seus dentes, como os dentes de leão.	8 And they had hair like the hair of women. And their teeth were like the teeth of lions.
9 Seus tórax pareciam envoltos em ferro, e o ruído de suas asas era como o ruído de carros de muitos cavalos, correndo para a guerra.	9 And they had breastplates like iron breastplates. And the noise of their wings was like the noise of many running horses, rushing to battle.
10 Tinham caudas semelhantes à do escorpião, com ferrões e o poder de afligir os homens por cinco meses.	10 And they had tails similar to scorpions. And there were stingers in their tails, and these had the power to harm men for five months.
11 Têm eles por rei o anjo do abismo; chama-se em hebraico Abadon, e em grego, Apolion.	11 And they had over them a king, the Angel of the abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Doom; in Greek, Destroyer; in Latin, Exterminator.
12 Terminado assim o primeiro ai, eis que, depois dele, vêm ainda dois outros.	12 One woe has gone out, but behold, there are still two woes approaching afterward.
13 O sexto anjo tocou a trombeta. Ouvi então uma voz que vinha dos quatro cantos do altar de ouro, que está diante de Deus,	13 And the sixth Angel sounded the trumpet. And I heard a lone voice from the four horns of the golden altar, which is before the eyes of God,
14 e que dizia ao sexto anjo que tinha a trombeta: Solta os quatro Anjos que estão acorrentados à beira do grande rio Eufrates.	14 saying to the sixth Angel who had the trumpet: “Release the four Angels who were bound at the great river Euphrates.”
15 Então foram soltos os quatro Anjos que se conservavam preparados para a hora, o dia, o mês e o ano da matança da terça parte dos homens...	15 And the four Angels were released, who had been prepared for that hour, and day, and month, and year, in order to kill one third part of men.
16 O número de soldados desta cavalaria era de duzentos milhões. Eu ouvi o seu número.	16 And the number of the army of horsemen was two hundred million. For I heard their number.
17 E foi assim que eu vi os cavalos e os que os montavam: estes últimos eram couraçados de uma chama sulfurosa azul. Os cavalos tinham crina como uma juba de leão e de suas narinas saíam fogo, fumaça e enxofre.	17 And I also saw the horses in the vision. And those who were sitting upon them had breastplates of fire and hyacinth and sulphur. And the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions. And from their mouths proceeded fire and smoke and sulphur.
18 E uma terça parte dos homens foi morta por esses três flagelos {fogo, fumaça e enxofre} que lhes saíam das narinas.	18 And one third part of men were slain by these three afflictions: by the fire and by the smoke and by the sulphur, which proceeded from their mouths.
19 Porque o poder nocivo dos cavalos estava também nas caudas; tinham cabeças como serpentes e causavam dano com elas.	19 For the power of these horses is in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails resemble serpents, having heads; and it is with these that they cause harm.
20 Mas o restante dos homens, que não foram mortos por esses três flagelos, não se arrependeu das obras de suas mãos. Não cessaram de adorar o demônio e os ídolos de ouro, de prata, de bronze, de pedra e de madeira, que não podem ver, nem ouvir, nem andar.	20 And the rest of men, who were not slain by these afflictions, did not repent from the works of their hands, so that they would not worship demons, or idols of gold and silver and brass and stone and wood, which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk.
21 Não se arrependeram de seus homicídios, seus malefícios, suas imundícies e furtos.	21 And they did not repent from their murders, nor from their drugs, nor from their fornication, nor from their thefts.
