The fifth angel’s trumpet, and the pit of the abyss and the locusts, which the speaker sees

다섯째 천사의 나팔과 말하는 이가 본 무저갱과 황충

Revelation 9:1–12: the speaker (“I”) says, “The fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from the sky which had fallen to the earth. The key to the pit of the abyss was given to him. 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. 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. 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. They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like those of lions. They had breastplates like breastplates of iron. The sound of their wings was like the sound of many chariots and horses rushing to war. They have tails like those of scorpions, with stingers. In their tails they have power to harm men for five months. They have over them as king the angel of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is ‘Abaddon’, but in Greek, he has the name ‘Apollyon’. The first woe is past. Behold, there are still two woes coming after this.” At 9:4 the Korean Revised Version reads 저희에게 이르시되 (said to them), and at 9:5 그들을 죽이지는 못하게 하시고 다섯달 동안 괴롭게만 하게 하시는데 (not letting them kill them, but only torment them five months), with no subject, where WEB reads “They were told” and “They were given power”; neither edition names anyone as the subject of these verbs. At 9:11 the Korean spells the two names 아바돈 and 아볼루온, where WEB reads “Abaddon” and “Apollyon”.
