Hello!



I heard that Chernobyl is a Ukrainian name for Wormwood, and that Revelations 8:10-11 talks about a disaster by a star named wormwood. Is this translation correct?



One Bible translation website (http://www.maranatha.org.ua/bible/index.php?book=66&ch=8) uses a different Ukrainian word for Wormwood though, "Polyn."



11. Имя сей звезде `полынь'; и третья часть вод сделалась полынью, и многие из людей умерли от вод, потому что они стали горьки.

УПО: А ймення зорі тій Полин. І стала третина води, як полин, і багато з людей повмирали з води, бо згіркла вона...

KJV: And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
