1Und der fünfte Engel stieß in die Posaune; und ich sah einen Stern, der vom Himmel auf die Erde gefallen war, und es wurde ihm der Schlüssel zum Schlund des Abgrunds gegeben. (1Mo 3,17; Jes 14,12; Lk 8,31; Lk 10,18; Offb 8,10; Offb 8,13; Offb 12,12; Offb 20,1)2Und er öffnete den Schlund des Abgrunds, und ein Rauch stieg empor aus dem Schlund, wie der Rauch eines großen Schmelzofens, und die Sonne und die Luft wurden verfinstert von dem Rauch des Schlundes. (Joe 2,2; Joe 2,10; Offb 16,10)3Und aus dem Rauch kamen Heuschrecken hervor auf die Erde; und es wurde ihnen Vollmacht gegeben, wie die Skorpione der Erde Vollmacht haben. (2Mo 10,12; 5Mo 28,38; Nah 3,17)4Und es wurde ihnen gesagt, dass sie dem Gras der Erde keinen Schaden zufügen sollten, auch nicht irgendetwas Grünem, noch irgendeinem Baum, sondern nur den Menschen, die das Siegel Gottes nicht an ihrer Stirn haben. (2Mo 12,23; Offb 7,3)5Und es wurde ihnen gegeben, sie nicht zu töten, sondern sie sollten fünf Monate lang gequält werden. Und ihre Qual war wie die Qual von einem Skorpion, wenn er einen Menschen sticht. (Offb 9,3; Offb 13,5; Offb 13,7)6Und in jenen Tagen werden die Menschen den Tod suchen und ihn nicht finden; und sie werden begehren zu sterben, und der Tod wird von ihnen fliehen. (Hi 3,21; Jer 8,3; Offb 6,16)7Und die Gestalten der Heuschrecken glichen Pferden, die zum Kampf gerüstet sind, und auf ihren Köpfen [trugen sie] etwas wie Kronen, dem Gold gleich, und ihre Angesichter waren wie menschliche Angesichter. (Joe 2,4)8Und sie hatten Haare wie Frauenhaare, und ihre Zähne waren wie die der Löwen. (Joe 1,6)9Und sie hatten Panzer wie eiserne Panzer, und das Getöse ihrer Flügel war wie das Getöse vieler Wagen und Pferde, die zur Schlacht eilen. (Hi 39,24; Hi 40,18; Hi 41,18; Nah 2,4; Offb 9,17)10Und sie hatten Schwänze wie Skorpione, und Stacheln waren in ihren Schwänzen, und ihre Vollmacht bestand darin, den Menschen Schaden zuzufügen fünf Monate lang. (Offb 9,3; Offb 9,5)11Und sie haben als König über sich den Engel des Abgrunds; sein Name ist auf Hebräisch Abaddon, und im Griechischen hat er den Namen Apollyon. (Joh 8,44; 2Petr 2,4; Offb 9,1)12Das erste Wehe ist vorüber; siehe, es kommen noch zwei Wehe nach diesem! (Offb 8,13; Offb 11,14)
Die sechste Posaune
13Und der sechste Engel stieß in die Posaune, und ich hörte eine Stimme aus den vier Hörnern des goldenen Altars, der vor Gott steht, (Offb 8,3)14die sprach zu dem sechsten Engel, der die Posaune hatte: Löse die vier Engel, die gebunden sind an dem großen Strom Euphrat! (1Mo 15,18; Jos 1,4; Jos 24,2; Jos 24,14; Offb 16,12)15Und die vier Engel wurden losgebunden, die auf Stunde und Tag und Monat und Jahr bereitstanden, den dritten Teil der Menschen zu töten. (Offb 8,7; Offb 8,9)16Und die Zahl des Reiterheeres war zweimal zehntausendmal zehntausend; und ich hörte ihre Zahl. (Ps 68,18; Dan 7,10; Offb 5,11)17Und so sah ich in dem Gesicht[1] die Pferde und die darauf saßen: Sie hatten feurige und violette und schwefelgelbe Panzer, und die Köpfe der Pferde waren wie Löwenköpfe; und aus ihren Mäulern ging Feuer und Rauch und Schwefel hervor. (Jes 5,29; Hes 41,19)18Durch diese drei wurde der dritte Teil der Menschen getötet: von dem Feuer und von dem Rauch und von dem Schwefel, die aus ihren Mäulern hervorkamen. (Offb 9,15)19Denn ihre Macht liegt in ihrem Maul; und ihre Schwänze gleichen Schlangen und haben Köpfe, und auch mit diesen fügen sie Schaden zu. (Jes 9,15; Eph 4,14; 2Thess 2,9; Offb 9,10)20Und die übrigen Menschen, die durch diese Plagen nicht getötet wurden, taten nicht Buße über die Werke ihrer Hände, sodass sie nicht mehr die Dämonen und die Götzen aus Gold und Silber und Erz und Stein und Holz angebetet hätten, die weder sehen noch hören noch gehen können. (Ps 115,4; Jer 8,5; 1Kor 10,20; 2Thess 2,11; Offb 16,9; Offb 16,11)21Und sie taten nicht Buße, weder über ihre Mordtaten noch über ihre Zaubereien noch über ihre Unzucht noch über ihre Diebereien. (2Kor 12,21; Offb 3,21; Offb 9,20)
Offenbarung 9
King James Version
1And 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.2And 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.3And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.4And 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.5And 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.6And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.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.8And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.9And 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.10And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.11And 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.12One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.13And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,14Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.15And 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.16And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.17And 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.18By 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.19For 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.20And 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:21Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
Offenbarung 9
English Standard Version
von Crossway1And 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.[1] (Lk 8,31; Lk 10,18; Röm 10,7; Offb 1,18; Offb 8,10; Offb 9,2; Offb 9,11; Offb 11,7; Offb 12,9; Offb 17,8; Offb 20,1; Offb 20,3)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. (1Mo 19,28; Jes 34,10; Joe 2,10)3Then from the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth. (2Mo 10,4)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. (Offb 6,6; Offb 7,2; Offb 7,3; Offb 8,7)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. (Offb 9,10)6And in those days people will seek death and will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them. (Hi 3,21; Hi 7,15; Jer 8,3)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, (Dan 7,8; Joe 2,4; Nah 3,17)8their hair like women’s hair, and their teeth like lions’ teeth; (Joe 1,6)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. (Hi 39,21; Jer 8,6; Joe 2,5)10They have tails and stings like scorpions, and their power to hurt people for five months is in their tails. (Offb 9,5)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.[2] (Hi 18,14; Hi 26,6; Spr 30,27; Eph 2,2)12The first woe has passed; behold, two woes are still to come. (Offb 8,13; Offb 11,14)13Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God, (2Mo 30,3)14saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” (Offb 7,1; Offb 16,12)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. (Offb 8,7)16The number of mounted troops was twice ten thousand times ten thousand; I heard their number. (Ps 68,17; Hes 38,4; Dan 7,10; Offb 7,4)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[3] and of sulfur, and the heads of the horses were like lions’ heads, and fire and smoke and sulfur came out of their mouths. (1Chr 12,8; Jes 5,28)18By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed, by the fire and smoke and sulfur coming out of their mouths.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.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, (5Mo 31,29; Ps 115,4; Ps 135,15; Jer 1,16; Jer 25,14; Dan 5,23; 1Kor 10,20; Offb 2,21)21nor did they repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts. (Gal 5,20; Offb 21,8; Offb 22,15)
Offenbarung 9
New International Reader’s Version
von Biblica1The fifth angel blew his trumpet. Then I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the tunnel leading down into a bottomless pit. The pit was called the Abyss.2The star opened the Abyss. Then smoke rose up from it like the smoke from a huge furnace. The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the Abyss.3Out of the smoke came locusts. They came down on the earth. They were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth.4They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree. They were supposed to harm only the people without God’s official seal on their foreheads.5The locusts were not allowed to kill these people. But the locusts could hurt them over and over for five months. The pain the people suffered was like the sting of a scorpion when it strikes.6In those days, people will look for a way to die but won’t find it. They will want to die, but death will escape them.7The locusts looked like horses ready for battle. On their heads they wore something like crowns of gold. Their faces looked like human faces.8Their hair was like women’s hair. Their teeth were like lions’ teeth.9Their chests were covered with something that looked like armour made out of iron. The sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle.10They had tails that could sting people as scorpions do. And in their tails they had power to hurt people over and over for five months.11Their king was the angel of the Abyss. In the Hebrew language his name is Abaddon. In Greek it is Apollyon. His name means Destroyer.12The first terrible judgment is past. Two others are still coming.13The sixth angel blew his trumpet. Then I heard a voice coming from the four corners of the golden altar. The altar stands in front of God.14The voice spoke to the sixth angel who had the trumpet. The voice said, ‘Set the four angels free who are held at the great river Euphrates.’15The four angels had been ready for this very hour and day and month and year. They were set free to kill a third of all people.16The number of troops on horseback was 200,000,000. I heard how many there were.17The horses and riders I saw in my vision had armour on their chests. It was red like fire, dark blue, and yellow like sulphur. The heads of the horses looked like lions’ heads. Out of their mouths came fire, smoke and sulphur.18A third of all people were killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke and sulphur that came out of the horses’ mouths.19The power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails. The tails were like snakes whose heads could bite.20There were people who were not killed by these plagues. But they still didn’t turn away from what they had been doing. They did not stop worshipping demons. They kept worshipping statues of gods made out of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood. These statues can’t see or hear or walk.21The people also did not turn away from their murders, witchcraft, sexual sins and stealing.
