Revelation, 9

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.

1. Peti anðeo zatrubi. I vidjeh: zvijezda je s neba na zemlju pala i dani su joj kljuèi zjala Bezdanova.

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.

2. Ona otvori zjalo Bezdanovo i vinu se iz zjala dim kao dim iz peæi goleme te pomrèa sunce i zrak od dima iz zjala.

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.

3. Iz dima pak iziðoše na zemlju skakavci i dana im je moæ kakvu imaju štipavci zemaljski.

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.

4. I zapovjeðeno im je da ne ude travi zemaljskoj nit ikojem zelenilu nit ikojem stablu, nego samo ljudima koji nemaju peèata Božjega na èelu.

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.

5. I dano im je ne da ih ubijaju, nego samo da ih muèe pet mjeseci, a muka njihova da bude kao muka od uboda štipavaca.

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.

6. U one æe dane ljudi iskati smrt, ali je neæe naæi; poželjet æe umrijeti, ali smrt æe bježati od njih.

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.

7. Skakavci bijahu izgledom nalik na konje za boj spremne. Na glavama im kao neki zlatni vijenci, lica im kao u ljudi,

8. And they had hair like the hair of women. And their teeth were like the teeth of lions.

8. kose kao u žena, a zubi kao u lavova.

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.

9. Imahu oklope kao od željeza, a šum krila njihovih kao štropot bojnih kola s mnogo konja što u boj jure.

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.

10. Repovi im kao u štipavaca, sa žalcima, a u repovima im moæ da ude ljudima pet mjeseci.

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.

11. Nad njima je kralj, anðeo Bezdana, hebrejski mu ime Abadon, grèki Apolion - Upropastitelj.

12. One woe has gone out, but behold, there are still two woes approaching afterward.

12. Prvi Jao proðe. Evo, za njim dolaze još dva druga Jao.

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,

13. Šesti anðeo zatrubi. I zaèujem neki glas iz rogova zlatnoga žrtvenika pred Bogom.

14. saying to the sixth Angel who had the trumpet: “Release the four Angels who were bound at the great river Euphrates.”

14. Govoraše šestom anðelu koji je držao trublju: "Odriješi ona èetiri anðela svezana na Rijeci velikoj, Eufratu."

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.

15. I odriješena bijahu èetiri anðela, spremna za taj èas i dan i mjesec i godinu, da pobiju treæinu ljudi.

16. And the number of the army of horsemen was two hundred million. For I heard their number.

16. A broj èeta konjanièkih, kako sam èuo, bijaše dvije mirijade mirijada.

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.

17. Ovako u viðenju vidjeh konje i njihove jahaèe: imahu oklope ognjene, plavetne i sumporne boje; glave im kao u lavova, iz usta im sukljao oganj, dim i sumpor.

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.

18. Od ovih triju zala poginu treæina ljudi - od ognja, dima i sumpora što sukljahu konjima iz usta.

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.

19. Doista, snaga je ovim konjima u ustima i repovima: repovi im kao u zmija, s glavama kojima ude.

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.

20. Ipak, preostali ljudi, što ne poginuše od tih zala, ne obratiše se od djela ruku svojih, da se više ne klanjaju zlodusima i kumirima - ni zlatnima, ni srebrnima, ni mjedenima, ni kamenima ni drvenima koji niti vide niti èuju nit hodaju -

21. And they did not repent from their murders, nor from their drugs, nor from their fornication, nor from their thefts.

21. i ne obratiše se od svojih ubojstava ni od svojih èaranja ni od svoga bluda niti od svojih kraða.
