Apocalypsis Ioannis

Apocalypsis, chapter 9, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 9 Vulgate

   1 Et quintus angelus tuba cecinit. Et vidi stellam de caelo cecidis se in terram, et data est illi clavis putei abyssi.
   2 Et aperuit puteum abyssi, et ascendit fumus ex puteo sicut fumus fornacis magnae; et obscuratus est sol et aer de fumo putei.
   3 Et de fumo exierunt locustae in terram, et data est illis potestas, sicut habent potestatem scorpiones terrae.
   4 Et dictum est illis, ne laederent fenum terrae neque omne viride neque omnem arborem, nisi tantum homines, qui non habent signum Dei in frontibus.
   5 Et datum est illis, ne occiderent eos, sed ut cruciarentur mensibus quinque; et cruciatus eorum ut cruciatus scorpii, cum percutit hominem.
   6 Et in diebus illis quaerent homines mortem et non invenient eam; et desiderabunt mori, et fugit mors ab ipsis.
   7 Et similitudines locustarum similes equis paratis in proelium, et super capita earum tamquam coronae similes auro, et facies earum sicut facies hominum;
   8 et habebant capillos sicut capillos mulierum, et dentes earum sicut leonum erant,
   9 et habebant loricas sicut loricas ferreas, et vox alarum earum sicut vox curruum equorum multorum currentium in bellum.
   10 Et habent caudas similes scorpionibus et aculeos, et in caudis earum potestas earum nocere hominibus mensibus quinque.
   11 Habent super se regem angelum abyssi, cui nomen Hebraice Abaddon et Graece nomen habet Apollyon.
   12 Vae unum abiit. Ecce veniunt adhuc duo vae post haec.
   13 Et sextus angelus tuba cecinit. Et audivi vocem unam ex cornibus altaris aurei, quod est ante Deum,
   14 dicentem sexto angelo, qui habebat tubam: "Solve quattuor angelos, qui alligati sunt super flumen magnum Euphraten".
   15 Et soluti sunt quattuor angeli, qui parati erant in horam et diem et mensem et annum, ut occiderent tertiam partem hominum.
   16 Et numerus equestris exercitus vicies milies dena milia; audivi numerum eorum.
   17 Et ita vidi equos in visione et, qui sedebant super eos, habentes loricas igneas et hyacinthinas et sulphureas; et capita equorum erant tamquam capita leonum, et de ore ipsorum procedit ignis et fumus et sulphur.
   18 Ab his tribus plagis occisa est tertia pars hominum, de igne et fumo et sulphure, quod procedebat ex ore ipsorum.
   19 Potestas enim equorum in ore eorum est et in caudis eorum; nam caudae illorum similes serpentibus habentes capita, et in his nocent.
   20 Et ceteri homines, qui non sunt occisi in his plagis neque paenitentiam egerunt de operibus manuum suarum, ut non adorarent daemonia et simulacra aurea et argentea et aerea et lapidea et lignea, quae neque videre possunt neque audire neque ambulare,
   21 et non egerunt paenitentiam ab homicidiis suis neque a veneficiis suis neque a fornicatione sua neque a furtis suis.

King James Version

   1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
   2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
   3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
   4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
   5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
   6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
   7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
   8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
   9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
   10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
   11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
   12 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
   13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
   14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
   15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
   16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
   17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
   18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
   19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
   20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
   21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
