He opened the pit of the abyss, and smoke went up out of the pit, like the smoke from a burning furnace. The sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke from the pit.
9:3
ወእምነውእቱጢስወፅአአንበጣውስተምድርወወሀብዎሙሥልጣነይኩኑከመዐቃርብትውስተምድር።
有蝗蟲從煙中出來,飛到地上;有能力賜給牠們,好像地上蠍子的能力一樣,
Then out of the smoke came locusts on the earth, and power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
They were told that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only those people who don’t have God’s seal on their foreheads.
They were given power, not to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a person.
9:6
ወበውእቶንመዋዕልየኀሥሥሰብእመዊተወኢይረክብወይፈቱይሙትወይትኀጣእእምኔሁመዊት።
在那些日子,人要求死,決不得死;願意死,死卻遠避他們。
In those days people will seek death, and will in no way find it. They will desire to die, and death will flee from them.
The shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared for war. On their heads were something like golden crowns, and their faces were like people’s faces.
9:8
ወሥዕርቶሙከመሥዕርተአንስትወስነኒሆሙከመስነነአናብስት።
頭髮像女人的頭髮,牙齒像獅子的牙齒。
They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like those of lions.
9:9
ወቦሙጌራከመጌራኀጺንወድምፀእገሪሆሙከመድምፀሠረገላብዙኅዘያረውጹአፍራስውስተቀትል።
胸前有甲,好像鐵甲。牠們翅膀的聲音,好像許多車馬奔跑上陣的聲音。
They had breastplates like breastplates of iron. The sound of their wings was like the sound of many chariots and horses rushing to war.
Thus I saw the horses in the vision and those who sat on them, having breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the horses’ heads resembled lions’ heads. Out of their mouths proceed fire, smoke, and sulfur.
The rest of mankind, who were not killed with these plagues, didn’t repent of the works of their hands, that they wouldn’t worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood, which can’t see, hear, or walk.
9:21
ወኢነስሑዓዲእምነቀትሎሙወእምነሥራያቲሆሙወእምነዝሙቶሙወእምነስርቆሙ።
又不悔改他們那些凶殺、邪術、姦淫、偷竊的事。
They didn’t repent of their murders, their sorceries, their sexual immorality, or their thefts.
