9 — Apocalisse

1And the fifth angel sounded the trumpet: and I saw a star fall from heaven upon the earth. And there was given to him the key of the bottomless pit.E il quinto Angelo diè fiato alla tromba: e vidi la stella caduta dal cielo sopra la terra, e a lui fu data la chiave del pozzo dell'abisso.AND the fifth Angel sounded vvith the trompet, and I savv a starre to haue fallen from heauen vpon the earth, and there vvas giuen to him the key of the pitte of bottomles depth.Et quintus angelus tuba cecinit: et vidi stellam de cælo cecidisse in terram, et data est ei clavis putei abyssi. 2And he opened the bottomless pit: and the smoke of the pit arose, as the smoke of a great furnace. And the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke of the pit.Ed aprì il pozzo dell'abisso: e sali il fumo del pozzo, come il fumo di gran fornace: e il sole, e l'aria si oscurò pel fumo del pozzo:And he opened the pitte of the bottomles depth: and the smoke of the pitte ascended, as the smoke of a great fornace: and the sunne vvas darkened & the aier vvith the smoke of the pitte.Et aperuit puteum abyssi: et ascendit fumus putei, sicut fumus fornacis magnæ: et obscuratus est sol, et aër de fumo putei: 3And from the smoke of the pit there came out locusts upon the earth. And power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.E dal fumo del pezzo uscirono locuste per la terra, alle quali fu dato potere, quale lo hanno gli scorpioni della terra:And from the smoke of the pitte there issued forth locustes into the earth and povver vvas giuen to them, as the scorpions of the earth haue povver:et de fumo putei exierunt locustæ in terram, et data est illis potestas, sicut habent potestatem scorpiones terræ: 4And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth nor any green thing nor any tree: but only the men who have not the sign of God on their foreheads.E fu loro ordinato di non far male all'erbe della terra, né a nulla di verde, né ad alcuna pianta: ma solo agli uomini, i quali non hanno la marca di Dio sulle loro fronti:and it vvas commaunded them that they should not hurt the grasse of the earth • not any greene thing, nor any tree: but onely men vvhich haue not the signe of God in their foreheads.et præceptum est illis ne læderent fœnum terræ, neque omne viride, neque omnem arborem: nisi tantum homines, qui non habent signum Dei in frontibus suis: 5And it was given unto them that they should not kill them: but that they should torment them five months. And their torment was as the torment of a scorpion when he striketh a man.E fu dato loro non di ammazzargli, ma che fossero tormentati per cinque mesi: e il tormento di essi (sia) come il tormento, che da lo scorpione, quando morde un uomo.and it vvas giuen vnto them that they should not kil them: but that they should be tormented fiue monethes: and their tormentes as the tormentes of a scorpion vvhen he striketh a man.et datum est illis ne occiderent eos: sed ut cruciarent mensibus quinque: et cruciatus eorum, ut cruciatus scorpii cum percutit hominem.

6And in those days, men shall seek death and shall not find it. And they shall desire to die: and death shall fly from them.Ed in que' giorni cercheran gli uomini la morte, né la troveranno: e bramaran di morire, e fuggirà da loro la morte.And in those daies men shal seeke for death, and shal not finde it: and they shal desire to die, & death shal flee from them.Et in diebus illis quærent homines mortem, et non invenient eam: et desiderabunt mori, et fugiet mors ab eis. 7And 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.E le figure delle locuste, simili a cavalli messi in punto per la battaglia: e sulle teste di esse una specie di corone simili a all'oro: e i loro volti simili al volto dell'uomo.And the similitudes of the locustes, like to horses prepared into battel: and vpō their heades as it vvere crovvnes like to gold: & their faces as the faces of men.Et similitudines locustarum, similes equis paratis in prælium: et super capita earum tamquam coronæ similes auro: et facies earum tamquam facies hominum. 8And they had hair as the hair of women: and their teeth were as lions.E avevano i capelli simili a' capelli delle donne, e i loro denti eran come di leoni:And they had heare as the heare of vvomen: & their teeth vvere as of lions.Et habebant capillos sicut capillos mulierum. Et dentes earum, sicut dentes leonum erant: 9And they had breastplates as breastplates of iron: and the noise of their wings was as the noise of chariots and many horses running to battle.E avean corazze simili alle corazze di ferro, e il rumore, che facevan coll'ali, simile al rumore de' cocchi a più cavalli correnti alla guerra:And they had habbergions as habbergions of yron, and the voice of their vvinges as the voice of the chariotes of many horses running into battel.et habebant loricas sicut loricas ferreas, et vox alarum earum sicut vox curruum equorum multorum currentium in bellum: 10And they had tails like to scorpions: and there were stings in their tails. And their power was to hurt men, five months. And they had over themE avevan le code simili a quelle degli scorpioni, e i loro pungiglioni gli avevano nelle code, e il lor potere (è) di far male agli uomini per cinque mesi: e avevano sopra di loroand they had tailes like to scorpions, and stinges vvere in their tailes: and their povver vvas to hurt men fiue monethes.et habebant caudas similes scorpionum, et aculei erant in caudis earum: et potestas earum nocere hominibus mensibus quinque: 11A king, the angel of the bottomless pit (whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon and in Greek Apollyon, in Latin Exterminans).Per re l'angelo dell'abisso, chiamato in Ebreo Abaddon, in Greco Apollyon, in latino Sterminatore.and they had ouer them a king, the Angel of the bottomles depth, vvhose name in Hebrevv is Abaddon, and in Greeke Apollyon: in Latin hauing the name Exterminans.et habebant super se regem angelum abyssi cui nomen hebraice Abaddon, græce autem Apollyon, latine habens nomen Exterminans.

12One woe is past: and behold there come yet two woes more hereafter.Un guai è passato, ed ecco, che ne vengono due guai in appresso.One vvoe is gone, & behold two vvoes come yet after these.Væ unum abiit, et ecce veniunt adhuc duo væ post hæc. 13And the sixth angel sounded the trumpet: and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before the eyes of God,E il sesto angelo diè fiato alla tromba, e udii una voce da' quattro angoli dell'altare d'oro, che è dinanzi agli occhi di Dio,And the sixt Angel sounded vvith the trompet: and I heard one voice from the foure hornes of the golden altar, vvhich is before the eies of God,Et sextus angelus tuba cecinit: et audivi vocem unam ex quatuor cornibus altaris aurei, quod est ante oculos Dei, 14Saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet: Loose the four angels who are bound in the great river Euphrates.La quale diceva al sesto angelo che aveva la tromba: sciogli i quattro angeli, che sono legati presso il fiume, grande Eufrate.saying to the sixt Angel which had the trōpet, Loose the foure Angels which are boūd in the great riuer Euphrates.dicentem sexto angelo, qui habebat tubam: Solve quatuor angelos, qui alligati sunt in flumine magno Euphrate. 15And the four angels were loosed, who were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year: for to kill the third part of men.E furono sciolti i quattro angeli preparati per l'ora, il giorno, il mese e l'anno a uccidere la terza parte degli uomini.And the foure Angels vvere loosed, vvho vvere prepared for an houre, and a day and a moneth and a yere: that they might kil the third part of men.Et soluti sunt quatuor angeli, qui parati erant in horam, et diem, et mensem, et annum, ut occiderent tertiam partem hominum. 16And the number of the army of horsemen was twenty thousand times ten thousand. And I heard the number of them.E il numero dell'esercito a cavallo venti mila volte dugento mila. Imperocché udii il numero di essi.And the number of the armie of horsemen vvas tvventie thousand times ten thousand. And I heard the nūber of them.Et numerus equestris exercitus vicies millies dena millia. Et audivi numerum eorum. 17And thus I saw the horses in the vision. And they that sat on them had breastplates of fire and of hyacinth and of brimstone. And the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions: and from their mouths proceeded fire and smoke and brimstone.Similmente vidi nella visione i cavalli: e quegli, che vi stavan sopra, e avevano corazze fiammanti, e di color ceruleo, e di colore di zolfo, e le teste de' cavalli erano come teste di leoni; e dalla lor bocca usciva fuoco, e fumo, e zolfo.And so I savv the horses in the vision: & they that sate vpō them, had habbergiōs of fire and of hyacinth and brimstone. & the heades of the horses were as it were the heads of lions: & from their mouth procedeth fire, & smoke, and brimstone.Et ita vidi equos in visione: et qui sedebant super eos, habebant loricas igneas, et hyacinthinas, et sulphureas, et capita eorum erant tamquam capita leonum: et de ore eorum procedit ignis, et fumus, et sulphur.

18And by these three plagues was slain the third part of men, by the fire and by the smoke and by the brimstone which issued out of their mouths.E da queste tre piaghe fu uccisa la terza parte degli uomini col fuoco, e, col fumo, e col zolfo, che uscivano dal le loro bocche.And by these three plagues vvas slaine the third part of men, of the fire and of the smoke and of the brimstone, vvhich proceded from their mouth.Et ab his tribus plagis occisa est tertia pars hominum de igne, et de fumo, et sulphure, quæ procedebant de ore ipsorum. 19For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails. For, their tails are like to serpents and have heads: and with them they hurt.Imperocché il potere de' cavalli sta nelle loro bocche, e nelle loro code. Attesoché le code di esiti (sono) simili, ai serpenti, ed hanno teste, colle quali, offendono.For the povver of the horses is in their mouth, and in their tailes for, their tailes be like to serpents, hauing heads: and in these they hurt.Potestas enim equorum in ore eorum est, et in caudis eorum, nam caudæ eorum similes serpentibus, habentes capita: et in his nocent. 20And the rest of the men, who were not slain by these plagues, did not do penance from the works of their hands, that they should not adore devils and idols of gold and silver and brass and stone and wood, which neither can see nor hear nor walk:E il resto degli uomini, che non furono uccisi da queste piaghe, neppur fecero penitenza delle opere delle lor mani, per non adorare i demoni, e i simulacri d'oro, e d'argento, e di bronzo, e di pietra, e di legno, i quali non hanno né vista, né udito, né movimento:And the rest of men vvhich vvere not slaine vvith these plagues, neither haue done penance from the vvorkes of their hands, not to adore Deuils and Idols of gold and siluer and brasse and stone and vvood, vvhich neither can see, not heare, nor vvalke,Et ceteri homines, qui non sunt occisi in his plagis, neque pœnitentiam egerunt de operibus manuum suarum, ut non adorarent dæmonia, et simulacra aurea, et argentea, et ærea, et lapidea, et lignea, quæ neque videre possunt, neque audire, neque ambulare, 21Neither did they penance from their murders nor from their sorceries nor from their fornication nor from their thefts.Né fecero penitenza de' loro omicidj, né de' loro veneficj, né de' loro adulterj, né de' loro ladronecci.& haue not done penāce from their murders, nor from their sorceries, nor from their fornication, nor from their theftes.et non egerunt pœnitentiam ab homicidiis suis, neque a veneficiis suis, neque a fornicatione sua, neque a furtis suis.
