Revelation 9

1 Then the fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to earth, and it was given the key to the pit of the Abyss.

1 第五位天使吹号的时候，我见有一颗星从天上坠落到地上，有无底坑的钥匙赐给它。

2 The star opened the pit of the Abyss, and smoke rose out of it like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the pit.

2 它打开无底坑时，浓烟从坑里冒出来，好像大火炉的烟一样，太阳和天空都变得昏暗了。

3 And out of the smoke, locusts descended on the earth, and they were given power like that of the scorpions of the earth.

3 有蝗虫从烟里飞出来，落到地上，有地上蝎子的能力赐给它们。

4 They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.

4 它们奉命不得毁坏地上的青草、树木和其他植物，只伤害额上没有上帝印记的人，

5 The locusts were not given power to kill them, but only to torment them for five months, and their torment was like the stinging of a scorpion.

5 但不可杀死他们，只折磨他们五个月。他们受的折磨就像被蝎子蛰到一样。

6 In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, but death will escape them.

6 那时候，人求死，却求不到；想死，死却躲避他们。

7 And the locusts looked like horses prepared for battle, with something like crowns of gold on their heads; and their faces were like the faces of men.

7 那些蝗虫好像预备出征的战马一样，头上好像戴了金冠，面孔好像人脸，

8 They had hair like that of women, and teeth like those of lions.

8 毛发好像女人的头发，牙齿好像狮子的牙，

9 They also had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the roar of many horses and chariots rushing into battle.

9 胸前有甲，如同铁甲，鼓动翅膀时声音如同许多战马战车奔赴战场。

10 They had tails with stingers like scorpions, which had the power to injure people for five months.

10 它们像蝎子一样有带毒钩的尾巴，能够折磨人五个月。

11 They were ruled by a king, the angel of the Abyss. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek it is Apollyon.

11 它们的王是无底坑的天使，希伯来文名叫亚巴顿，希腊文名叫亚玻伦 。

12 The first woe has passed. Behold, two woes are still to follow.

12 第一样灾祸过去了，另外两样接踵而来。

13 Then the sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God

13 第六位天使吹号的时候，我听见从上帝面前的金祭坛的四角传出一个声音，

14 saying to the sixth angel with the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.”

14 对刚才吹号的第六位天使说：“释放那捆绑在幼发拉底大河的四位天使！”

15 So the four angels who had been prepared for this hour and day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind.

15 那四位天使就被释放了，他们为了此年、此月、此日、此刻已经预备好了，要杀掉人类的三分之一。

16 And the number of mounted troops was two hundred million; I heard their number.

16 我听见他们共有二亿骑兵。

17 Now the horses and riders in my vision looked like this: The riders had breastplates the colors of fire, sapphire, and sulfur. The heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths proceeded fire, smoke, and sulfur.

17 我在异象中看见了马和骑士。骑士胸甲的颜色像火焰、紫玛瑙和硫磺。马的头像狮子的头，口中喷出火、烟和硫磺。

18 A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke, and sulfur that proceeded from their mouths.

18 马口中喷出的这三样灾害杀死了世上三分之一的人口。

19 For the power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails; indeed, their tails were like snakes, having heads with which to inflict harm.

19 这些马的杀伤力不只在口，也在尾巴。它们的尾巴像蛇，有头能咬伤人。

20 Now the rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the works of their hands. They did not stop worshiping demons and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk.

20 其余没有被这些灾害所杀的人仍怙恶不悛，继续拜鬼魔和那些用金、银、铜、石、木所造，不能看、不能听、不能行走的偶像。

21 Furthermore, they did not repent of their murder, sorcery, sexual immorality, and theft.

21 他们也不肯为自己所犯的凶杀、邪术、淫乱和偷盗悔改。
