Wahyu 9:10-11

9:10 They have ⁴  tails and stingers like scorpions, and their ability ⁵  to injure people for five months is in their tails. 9:11 They have as king over them the angel of the abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon. ⁶ 

[9:2]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[9:2]  ² tn Grk “the shaft,” but since this would be somewhat redundant in English, the pronoun “it” is used here.

[9:2]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[9:10]  ⁴ tn In the Greek text there is a shift to the present tense here; the previous verbs translated “had” are imperfects.

[9:10]  ⁵ tn See BDAG 352 s.v. ἐξουσία 2, “potential or resource to command, control, or govern, capability, might, power.”

[9:11]  ⁶ sn Both the Hebrew Abaddon and the Greek Apollyon mean “Destroyer.”
