Pahayag 9
Ang Salita ng Diyos

9 Hinipan ng panglimang anghel ang kaniyang trumpeta. At nakita ko ang isang bituin na nahulog sa lupa buhat sa langit. Ibinigay sa kaniya ang susi ng walang hanggang kala­liman. 2 At binuksan niya ang walang hanggang kalaliman. Pumailanlang ang usok na lumabas mula sa kalalim-lalimang hukay katulad ng usok na nagmumula sa isang napakalaking pugon. Ang araw at ang hangin ay dumilim dahil sa usok. 3 Buhat sa usok ay lumabas ang mga balang sa ibabaw ng lupa. Binigyan sila ng kapamahalaang katulad ng kapamahalaang taglay ng mga alakdan sa lupa. 4 At sinabi sa kanila na huwag nilang pipinsalain ang mga damo sa lupa o anumang bagay na luntian at ang mga punong-kahoy. Ang pipinsalain lamangnila ay ang mga taong walang tatak ng Diyos sa kanilang noo. 5 Hindi sila binigyan ng pahintulot na patayin ang mga tao. Pahihirapan lamang nila sila sa loob ng limang buwan. Ang pagpapahirap na ito ay katulad ng sakit na nararanasan ngtaong kinagat ng alakdan. 6 Sa mga araw na iyon, hahanapin ng mga tao ang kamatayan ngunit hindi nila matatagpuan. Magpapakamatay sila ngunit lalayuan sila ng kamatayan.

7 Ang anyo ng mga balang ay katulad ng mga kabayong inihanda para sa labanan. Sa kanilang mga ulo ay mayroong gantimpalang putong katulad ng ginto. Ang kanilang mga mukha ay katulad ng mga mukha ng tao. 8 May mga buhok silang katulad ng buhok ng babae. Ang kanilang mga ngipin ay katulad ng ngipin ng leon. 9 May mga baluti sila sa dibdib na katulad ng mga baluting bakal. Ang ugong ng kanilang mga pakpak ay katulad ng ugong ng mga karuwahe ng mga kabayong dumadaluhong sa labanan. 10 May mga buntot sila at tibo na katulad ng mga alakdan. May kapamahalaan silang saktan ang tao sa loob ng limang buwan. 11 Mayroon silang hari na namumuno sa kanila. Siya ay ang anghel sa walang hanggang kalaliman. Ang kaniyang pangalan sa wikang Hebreo ay Abadon.[a] Sa wikang Griyego ito ay Apolyon.

12 Natapos na ang unang kaabahan. Pagkatapos ng mga bagay na ito, dalawa pang kaabahan ang darating.

13 Hinipan ng pang-anim na anghel ang kaniyang trumpeta. Narinig ko ang isang tinig mula sa apat na sungay ng gintong dambana na nasa harapan ng Diyos. 14 Sinabi niya sa pang-anim na anghel na may trumpeta: Pakawalan mo ang apat na anghel na iginapos sa malaking ilog ng Eufrates. 15 At pinaka­walan niya ang apat na anghel na inihanda para sa oras, araw, buwan at taon upang pumatay sa ikatlong bahagi ng mga tao. 16 Ang bilang ng hukbong nangangabayo ay dalawang daang milyon. Narinig ko ang bilang nila.

17 Sa ganito ko nakita ang mga kabayo at ang mga sakay nila sa isang pangitain. Sila ay may suot na mga baluti sa dibdib na mapulang katulad ng apoy, matingkad na bughaw at dilaw na katulad ng asupre. Ang ulo ng mga kabayo ay katulad ng mga ulo ng mga leon. Apoy at usok at nagniningas na asupre ang lumalabas sa kanilang mga bibig. 18 Sa pamama­gitan ng tatlong ito, ang apoy, ang usok at ang nagniningas na asupre, ay pinatay nila ang ikatlong bahagi ng mga tao. Ang mga bagay na ito ay lumalabas mula sa kanilang mga bibig. 19 Ito ay sapagkat ang kanilang mga kapamahalaan ay nasa mga bibig at mga buntot katulad ng mga ahas na may mga ulong makakapanakit.

20 May mga nalalabing mga tao na hindi napatay ng mga salot na ito. Ngunit hindi nila pinagsisihan ang gawa ng kanilang mga kamay. At hindi sila nagsisi upang hindi sila sasamba sa mga demonyo at mga diyos-diyosang ginto, pilak, tanso, bato at kahoy. Hindi sila makakakita, ni makakarinig, ni makakalakad man. 21 Hindi sila nagsisisi sa kanilang mga pagpatay, sa kanilang mga panggagaway, sa kanilang mga pakikiapid at sa kanilang pagnanakaw.

Revelation 9
Legacy Standard Bible

9 Then the (A)fifth angel sounded. Then I saw a (B)star from heaven which had fallen to the earth, and the (C)key of the (D)pit of the abyss was given to him. 2 And he opened the pit of the abyss and (E)smoke went up out of the pit, like the smoke of a great furnace, and (F)the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke of the pit. 3 Then out of the smoke came (G)locusts [a]upon the earth, and power was given them, as the (H)scorpions of the earth have power. 4 And they were told not to (I)hurt the (J)grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but only the men who do not have the (K)seal of God on their foreheads. 5 And [b]they were not permitted to kill [c]anyone, but to torment for (L)five months, and their torment was like the torment of a (M)scorpion when it [d]stings a man. 6 And in those days (N)men will seek death and will never find it; they will long to die, and death flees from them.

7 And the [e](O)appearance of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. And on their heads appeared to be crowns like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men. 8 And they had hair like the hair of women, and their (P)teeth were like the teeth of lions. 9 And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the (Q)sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots, of many horses running to battle. 10 And they have tails like (R)scorpions, and stings; and in their (S)tails is their power to hurt men for (T)five months. 11 They have as king over them, the angel of the (U)abyss. His name in (V)Hebrew is [f](W)Abaddon, and in the Greek he has the name [g]Apollyon.

12 (X)One woe is past; behold, two woes are still coming after these things.

13 Then the sixth angel sounded, and I heard [h]a voice from the [i]four (Y)horns of the (Z)golden altar which is before God, 14 one saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the (AA)four angels who have been bound at the (AB)great river Euphrates.” 15 And the four angels were (AC)released, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, so that they would kill a (AD)third of [j]mankind. 16 And the number of the armies of the horsemen was (AE)two hundred million; (AF)I heard the number of them. 17 And [k]this is how I saw (AG)in the vision the horses and those who sit on them: the riders had breastplates the color of fire and of hyacinth and of [l](AH)brimstone; and the heads of the horses are like the heads of lions; and (AI)out of their mouths come fire and smoke and [m](AJ)brimstone. 18 A (AK)third of [n]mankind was killed by these three plagues, by the (AL)fire and the smoke and the [o]brimstone which came out of their mouths. 19 For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads, and with them they do harm.

20 And the rest of [p]mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, (AM)did not repent of (AN)the works of their hands, so as not to (AO)worship demons, and (AP)the idols of gold and of silver and of brass and of stone and of wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk. 21 And they (AQ)did not repent of their murders nor of their (AR)sorceries nor of their (AS)sexual immorality nor of their thefts.

Revelation 9
New English Translation

9 Then[a] the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky[b] to the earth, and he was given the key to the shaft of the abyss.[c] 2 He[d] opened the shaft of the abyss and smoke rose out of it[e] like smoke from a giant furnace. The[f] sun and the air were darkened with smoke from the shaft. 3 Then[g] out of the smoke came locusts onto the earth, and they were given power[h] like that of the scorpions of the earth. 4 They[i] were told[j] not to damage the grass of the earth, or any green plant or tree, but only those people[k] who did not have the seal of God on their[l] forehead. 5 The locusts[m] were not given permission[n] to kill[o] them, but only to torture[p] them[q] for five months, and their torture was like that[r] of a scorpion when it stings a person.[s] 6 In[t] those days people[u] will seek death, but[v] will not be able to[w] find it; they will long to die, but death will flee from them.

7 Now[x] the locusts looked like horses equipped for battle. On[y] their heads were something like crowns similar to gold,[z] and their faces looked like men’s[aa] faces. 8 They[ab] had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth. 9 They had breastplates[ac] like iron breastplates, and the sound of their wings was like the noise of many horse-drawn chariots charging into battle. 10 They have[ad] tails and stingers like scorpions, and their ability[ae] to injure people for five months is in their tails. 11 They have as king over them the angel of the abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon.[af]

12 The first woe has passed, but[ag] two woes are still coming after these things!

13 Then[ah] the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a single voice coming from the[ai] horns on the golden altar that is before God, 14 saying to the sixth angel, the one holding[aj] the trumpet, “Set free[ak] the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates!” 15 Then[al] the four angels who had been prepared for this[am] hour, day,[an] month, and year were set free to kill[ao] a third of humanity. 16 The[ap] number of soldiers on horseback was 200,000,000;[aq] I heard their number. 17 Now[ar] this is what the horses and their riders[as] looked like in my[at] vision: The riders had breastplates that were fiery red,[au] dark blue,[av] and sulfurous[aw] yellow in color.[ax] The[ay] heads of the horses looked like lions’ heads, and fire, smoke, and sulfur[az] came out of their mouths. 18 A third of humanity was killed by these three plagues, that is,[ba] by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur that came out of their mouths. 19 For the power[bb] of the horses resides[bc] in their mouths and in their tails, because their tails are like snakes, having heads that inflict injuries. 20 The rest of humanity, who had not been killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, so that they did not stop worshiping demons and idols made[bd] of gold, silver,[be] bronze, stone, and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk about. 21 Furthermore,[bf] they did not repent of their murders, of their magic spells,[bg] of their sexual immorality, or of their stealing.

Footnotes

  1. Revelation 9:1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.
  2. Revelation 9:1 tn Or “from heaven” (the same Greek word means both “heaven” and “sky”).
  3. Revelation 9:1 tn On this term BDAG 2 s.v. ἄβυσσος 2 states, “netherworld, abyss, esp. the abode of the dead Ro 10:7 (Ps 106:26) and of demons Lk 8:31; dungeon where the devil is kept Rv 20:3; abode of the θηρίον, the Antichrist 11:7; 17:8; of ᾿Αβαδδών (q.v.), the angel of the underworld 9:11…φρέαρ τῆς ἀ. 9:1f; capable of being sealed 9:1; 20:1, 3.”
  4. Revelation 9:2 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
  5. Revelation 9:2 tn Grk “the shaft,” but since this would be somewhat redundant in English, the pronoun “it” is used here.
  6. Revelation 9:2 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
  7. Revelation 9:3 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.
  8. Revelation 9:3 tn See BDAG 352 s.v. ἐξουσία 2, “potential or resource to command, control, or govern, capability, might, power.”
  9. Revelation 9:4 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
  10. Revelation 9:4 tn The dative indirect object (αὐταῖς, autais) was converted into the subject (“they”) as this more closely approximates English usage. The following ἵ῞να (hina) is taken as substantival, introducing a direct object clause. In this case, because it is reported speech, the ἵνα is similar to the declarative ὅτι (hoti).
  11. Revelation 9:4 tn Grk “men”; but ἄνθρωπος (anthrōpos) is used in a generic sense here of both men and women.
  12. Revelation 9:4 tn The article τῶν (tōn) has been translated as a possessive pronoun here (ExSyn 215).
  13. Revelation 9:5 tn Grk “It was not permitted to them”; the referent (the locusts) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  14. Revelation 9:5 tn The word “permission” is not in the Greek text, but is implied.
  15. Revelation 9:5 tn The two ἵνα (hina) clauses of 9:5 are understood to be functioning as epexegetical or complementary clauses related to ἐδόθη (edothē).
  16. Revelation 9:5 tn On this term BDAG 168 s.v. βασανισμός states, “1. infliction of severe suffering or pain associated with torture or torment, tormenting, torture Rv 9:5b.—2. the severe pain experienced through torture, torment vs. 5a; 14:11; 18:10, 15; (w. πένθος) vs. 7.”
  17. Revelation 9:5 tn The pronoun “them” is not in the Greek text but is picked up from the previous clause.
  18. Revelation 9:5 tn Grk “like the torture,” but this is redundant in contemporary English.
  19. Revelation 9:5 tn Grk “a man”; but ἄνθρωπος (anthrōpos) is used here in an individualized sense without being limited to the male gender.
  20. Revelation 9:6 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
  21. Revelation 9:6 tn Grk “men”; but ἄνθρωπος (anthrōpos) is used in a generic sense here of both men and women.
  22. Revelation 9:6 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.
  23. Revelation 9:6 tn The phrase “not be able to” was used in the translation to emphasize the strong negation (οὐ μή, ou mē) in the Greek text.
  24. Revelation 9:7 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the introduction of the description of the locusts, which is somewhat parenthetical in the narrative.
  25. Revelation 9:7 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
  26. Revelation 9:7 tn The translation attempts to bring out the double uncertainty in this clause in the Greek text, involving both the form (ὡς στέφανοι, hōs stephanoi, “like crowns”) and the material (ὅμοιοι χρυσῷ, homoioi chrusō, “similar to gold”).
  27. Revelation 9:7 tn Or “human faces.” The Greek term ἄνθρωπος (anthrōpos) is often used in a generic sense, referring to both men and women. However, because “women’s hair” in the next clause suggests a possible gender distinction here, “men’s” was retained.
  28. Revelation 9:8 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
  29. Revelation 9:9 tn Or perhaps, “scales like iron breastplates” (RSV, NRSV) although the Greek term θώραξ (thōrax) would have to shift its meaning within the clause, and elsewhere in biblical usage (e.g., Eph 6:14; 1 Thess 5:8) it normally means “breastplate.” See also L&N 8.38.
  30. Revelation 9:10 tn In the Greek text there is a shift to the present tense here; the previous verbs translated “had” are imperfects.
  31. Revelation 9:10 tn See BDAG 352 s.v. ἐξουσία 2, “potential or resource to command, control, or govern, capability, might, power.”
  32. Revelation 9:11 sn Both the Hebrew Abaddon and the Greek Apollyon mean “Destroyer.”
  33. Revelation 9:12 tn Grk “behold.” Here ἰδού (idou) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in the context.
  34. Revelation 9:13 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.
  35. Revelation 9:13 tc ‡ Several key mss (P47 א1 A 0207 1611 2053 2344 lat syh co) lack the word τεσσάρων (tessarōn, “four”) before κεράτων (keratōn, “horns”). The word seems to have been added by scribes because a “horned” altar (described in the OT [Exod 30:2, 10]) could have only four “horns” or projections at the corners. NA28 includes the word in brackets, indicating doubts as to its authenticity.
  36. Revelation 9:14 tn Grk “having.”
  37. Revelation 9:14 tn On λῦσον (luson) BDAG 606-7 s.v. λύω 2 states, “set free, loose, untie—a. lit. a pers., animal, or thing that is bound or tied…Angels that are bound Rv 9:14f.”
  38. Revelation 9:15 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.
  39. Revelation 9:15 tn The Greek article τήν (tēn) has been translated with demonstrative force here.
  40. Revelation 9:15 tn The Greek term καί (kai) has not been translated here and before the following term “month” since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
  41. Revelation 9:15 tn Grk “so that they might kill,” but the English infinitive is an equivalent construction to indicate purpose here.
  42. Revelation 9:16 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
  43. Revelation 9:16 tn Grk “twenty thousand of ten thousands.”
  44. Revelation 9:17 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the introduction of the description of the horses and riders, which is somewhat parenthetical in the narrative.
  45. Revelation 9:17 tn Grk “and those seated on them.”
  46. Revelation 9:17 tn Grk “the vision”; the Greek article has been translated as a possessive pronoun (ExSyn 215).
  47. Revelation 9:17 tn L&N 79.33 states, “‘fiery red’…. One may also render ‘fiery red’ as ‘red like fire’ or ‘the color of fire.’”
  48. Revelation 9:17 tn On this term BDAG 1022 s.v. ὑακίνθινος states, “hyacinth-colored, i.e., dark blue (dark red?) w. πύρινος Rv 9:17.”
  49. Revelation 9:17 tn On this term BDAG 446 s.v. θειώδης states, “sulphurous Rv 9:17.”
  50. Revelation 9:17 sn The colors of the riders’ breastplates parallel the three plagues of fire, smoke, and sulfur in v. 18.
  51. Revelation 9:17 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
  52. Revelation 9:17 tn Traditionally, “brimstone.”
  53. Revelation 9:18 tn The phrase ἐκ τοῦ πυρὸς καὶ τοῦ καπνοῦ καὶ τοῦ θείου τοῦ ἐκπορευομένου ἐκ τῶν στομάτων αὐτῶν (“by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur that came out of their mouths”) is taken as epexegetical (explanatory) to the phrase τῶν τριῶν πληγῶν τούτων (“these three plagues”).
  54. Revelation 9:19 tn See BDAG 352 s.v. ἐξουσία 2, “potential or resource to command, control, or govern, capability, might, power.”
  55. Revelation 9:19 tn Grk “is.”
  56. Revelation 9:20 tn The word “made” is not in the Greek text but is implied.
  57. Revelation 9:20 tn The Greek conjunction καί (kai) has not been translated here or before the following materials in this list, since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
  58. Revelation 9:21 tn Grk “and.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation, with “furthermore” used to indicate a continuation of the preceding.
  59. Revelation 9:21 tn On the term φαρμακεία (pharmakeia, “magic spells”) see L&N 53.100: “the use of magic, often involving drugs and the casting of spells upon people—‘to practice magic, to cast spells upon, to engage in sorcery, magic, sorcery.’ φαρμακεία: ἐν τῇ φαρμακείᾳ σου ἐπλανήθησαν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ‘with your magic spells you deceived all the peoples (of the world)’ Re 18:23.”
