Revelation 9:15

Then ¹  the four angels who had been prepared for this ²  hour, day, ³  month, and year were set free to kill ⁴  a third of humanity.

And the four angels who had been kept ready for this very hour and day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind.

And the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released, so that they would kill a third of mankind.

And the four angels who had been prepared for this hour and day and month and year were turned loose to kill one–third of all the people on earth.

The Four Angels were untied and let loose, Four Angels all prepared for the exact year, month, day, and even hour when they were to kill a third of the human race.

And the four angels were made free, who were ready for the hour and day and month and year, that they might put to death a third part of men.

So the four angels were released, who had been held ready for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, to kill a third of humankind.

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

Then ¹  the four angels who had been prepared for this ²  hour, day, ³  month, and year were set free to kill ⁴  a third of humanity.

¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

² tn The Greek article τήν (thn) has been translated with demonstrative force here.

³ tn The Greek term καί (kai) has not been translated here and before the following term “month” since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

⁴ tn Grk “so that they might kill,” but the English infinitive is an equivalent construction to indicate purpose here.
