Fakahā 9

1And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit.

1PEA naʻe ifi ʻe hono nima ʻoe ʻāngelo, pea u mamata naʻe tō ʻae fetuʻu mei he langi ki he fonua; pea naʻe ʻatu kiate ia ʻae kī ʻoe luo taʻehanotakele.

2He opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and from the shaft rose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft.

2Pea naʻe fakaava ʻe ia ʻae luo taʻehanotakele; pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae kohu mei he luo, ʻo hangē ko e kohu ʻoe fuʻu luo afi; pea ko e meʻa ʻi he kohu ʻoe luo, naʻe fakapoʻuli ʻae laʻā mo e ʻatā.

3Then from the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth.

3Pea naʻe haʻu mei he kohu ʻae fanga heʻe ki he fonua: pea naʻe ʻatu ki ai ʻae mālohi, ʻo hangē ko e mālohi ʻoe fanga sikopio ʻoe fonua.

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

4Pea naʻe fekau kiate kinautolu ke ʻoua te nau maumau ʻae mohuku ʻoe fonua, pe ha meʻa mata ʻe taha, pe ha ʻakau; ka ko e kau tangata pe ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻi honau foʻi laʻē ʻae fakaʻilonga ʻae ʻOtua.

5They were allowed to torment them for five months, but not to kill them, and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings someone.

5Pea naʻe tuku kiate kinautolu ke ʻoua naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu, ka ke fakamamahiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he māhina ʻe nima: pea ko ʻenau mamahi naʻe tatau mo e mamahi ʻoe tangata kuo taaʻi ʻe he sikopio.

6And in those days people will seek death and will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them.

6Pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, ʻe kumi ʻae kakai ki he mate, ka ʻe ʻikai ʻilo ia; pea te nau holi ke mate, ka ʻe puna ʻae mate meiate kinautolu.

7In appearance the locusts were like horses prepared for battle: on their heads were what looked like crowns of gold; their faces were like human faces,

7Pea ko e sino ʻoe fanga heʻe naʻe tatau mo e fanga hoosi kuo teuteu ki he tau; pea naʻe ʻi honau ʻulu ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi pale koula, pea ko honau mata naʻe tatau mo e mata ʻoe tangata.

8their hair like women’s hair, and their teeth like lions’ teeth;

8Pea naʻa nau louʻulu ʻo hangē ko e louʻulu ʻoe kau fefine, pea ko honau kau nifo naʻe hangē ko e nifo ʻoe fanga laione.

9they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the noise of their wings was like the noise of many chariots with horses rushing into battle.

9Pea naʻe ai honau ngaahi sifa fatafata, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi sifa fatafata ukamea; pea ko e patū ʻo honau kapakau naʻe tatau mo e longoaʻa. ʻOe ngaahi saliote, mo e fanga hoosi lahi ʻoku feleleʻi ki he tau.

10They have tails and stings like scorpions, and their power to hurt people for five months is in their tails.

10Pea naʻe ai honau ngaahi iku ʻo hangē ko e fanga sikopio, pea naʻe ʻi honau ngaahi iku ʻae ngaahi huhu: pea naʻa nau mālohi ke tautea ʻae kakai ʻi he māhina ʻe nima.

11They have as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Apollyon.

11Pea naʻe ai ʻae tuʻi kiate kinautolu, ko e ʻāngelo ʻoe luo taʻehanotakele, ko hono hingoa ʻi he lea fakaHepelū ko ʻApatoni, ka ko hono hingoa ʻi he lea fakaKiliki ko ʻApolione.

12The first woe has passed; behold, two woes are still to come.

12Kuo hili ange ʻae malaʻia ʻe taha; vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻamui ʻae malaʻia kehe ʻe ua,

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

13Pea naʻe ifi ʻe hono ono ʻoe ʻāngelo, pea u fanongo ki he leʻo mei he nifo ʻe fā ʻoe ʻesifeilaulau koula ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua,

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

14‌ʻOku pehē ki hono ono ʻoe ʻāngelo, naʻe ʻi ai ʻae meʻa lea, “Vevete ʻae kau ʻāngelo ʻe toko fā, ʻaia kuo haʻisia ʻi he vaitafe lahi ko ʻIufaleti.”

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

15Pea naʻe vete ange ʻae kau ʻāngelo ʻe toko fā, ʻakinautolu naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ki ha feituʻulaʻā, pea ki ha ʻaho, pea ki ha māhina, pea ki ha taʻu, koeʻuhi ke tāmateʻi ʻa hono tolu ʻoe vahe ʻoe kakai.

16The number of mounted troops was twice ten thousand times ten thousand; I heard their number.

16Pea ko hono lau ʻoe tau, ko e kau tangata heka hoosi ko e toko uangeau miliona: pea ne u fanongo ki honau lau.

17And this is how I saw the horses in my vision and those who rode them: they wore breastplates the color of fire and of sapphire and of sulfur, and the heads of the horses were like lions’ heads, and fire and smoke and sulfur came out of their mouths.

17Pea naʻe pehē pē ʻa ʻeku mamata ki he fanga hoosi, ʻi he meʻa naʻe hā mai, mo kinautolu naʻe heka ai, ko honau sifa fatafata naʻe lanu ki he afi, mo e lanu moana, mo e felofelo: pea ko e ʻulu ʻoe fanga hoosi naʻe tatau mo e ʻulu ʻoe fanga laione; pea naʻe ʻoho mei honau ngutu ʻae afi, mo e ʻohuafi, mo e sulifa.

18By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed, by the fire and smoke and sulfur coming out of their mouths.

18Ko e meʻa ko eni ʻe tolu naʻe tāmate ʻaki ʻa hono tolu ʻoe vahe ʻoe kakai, ʻae afi, mo e ʻohuafi, mo e sulifa, ʻaia naʻe ʻoho mei honau ngutu.

19For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails, for their tails are like serpents with heads, and by means of them they wound.

19He ko honau mālohi ʻoku ʻi honau ngutu, mo honau iku: he naʻe tatau honau iku mo e fanga ngata, pea naʻe fakaʻulu, pea ko ia ʻoku nau fai ʻaki ʻae maumau.

20The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands nor give up worshiping demons and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk,

20Pea ko hono toe ʻoe kakai naʻe ʻikai ke tāmateʻi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi fakamamahi ni, naʻe ʻikai te nau fakatomala ʻi he ngaahi ngāue ʻa honau nima, ke ʻoua te nau hū ki he kau tēvolo, mo e ngaahi tamapua koula, mo e siliva, mo e palasa, mo e maka, mo e ʻakau: ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai faʻa mamata, pe fanongo, pe ʻaʻeva:

21nor did they repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.

21Pea naʻe ʻikai tenau fakatomala ʻi he ʻenau ngaahi fakapō, mo ʻenau ngaahi fie mana, mo ʻenau feʻauaki, mo ʻenau faʻa kaihaʻa.
