1 ⲁ̅ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲛϣⲟϣⲧ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛϩⲁⲗⲩⲥⲓⲥ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉϥϭⲓϫ (Abyssos g12)
Then I saw an angel coming down from Heaven, with the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. (Abyssos g12)
He seized the Dragon, the primeval Serpent (who is the ‘Devil’ or ‘Satan’), and bound him in chains for a thousand years.
3 ⲅ̅ ⲁϥⲛⲟϫϥ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲛ ⲁϥϣⲧⲁⲙ ⲉⲣⲱϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲱⲃⲉ ⲉⲣⲱϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲡⲗⲁⲛⲁ ϭⲉ ⲛⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ϣⲁⲛⲧⲉⲧϣⲟ ⲛⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲃⲟⲗϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲕⲉⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ (Abyssos g12)
He flung him into the bottomless pit and locked it, and set his seal upon it; that he should not deceive the nations any more, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be let loose for a while. (Abyssos g12)
4 ⲇ̅ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲉϩⲉⲛⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ϩⲓϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲟⲩϩⲁⲡ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲯⲩⲭⲏ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲙⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲛⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲙⲡⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲉϥϩⲓⲕⲱⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲙⲡⲟⲩϫⲓ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲙⲁⲉⲓⲛ ⲉϫⲛ ⲧⲉⲩⲧⲉϩⲛⲉ ⲏ ⲉϫⲛ ⲛⲉⲩϭⲓϫ ⲁⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲣ ⲣⲣⲟ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲭⲣⲥ ⲛϣⲟ ⲛⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ
Then I saw thrones, and to those who took their seats upon them authority was given to act as judges. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the testimony to Jesus and because of the Message of God, for they had refused to worship the Beast or its image, and had not received the brand on their foreheads and on their hands. They were restored to life, and they reigned with the Christ for a thousand years.
(The rest of the dead were not restored to life till the thousand years were ended.) This is the First Resurrection.
6 ⲋ̅ ⲛⲁⲓⲁⲧϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛⲧϥ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ ϩⲛ ⲧϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲛⲁⲛⲁⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲙⲉϩⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲙⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲙ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲩⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲭⲣⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲣ ⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲙⲙⲁϥ ⲛⲧϣⲟ ⲛⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ
Blessed and holy will he be who shares in that First Resurrection. The second Death has no power over them; but they will be priests of God, and the Christ, and they will reign with him for the thousand years.
When the thousand years are ended, Satan will be let loose from his prison,
8 ⲏ̅ ⲛϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲡⲗⲁⲛⲁ ⲛⲧⲟⲓⲕⲟⲩⲙⲉⲛⲏ ⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲅⲱⲅ ⲙⲛ ⲙⲁⲅⲱⲅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲕⲟⲟϩ ⲙⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲡⲟⲗⲉⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲟ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲙⲡϣⲱ ⲛⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ
and he will come out to deceive the nations that live in ‘the four corners of the earth — Gog and Magog.’ He will come to gather them together for battle; and their number will be as great as the sand on the sea-shore.
9 ⲑ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲙ ⲡⲡⲱϫϭ ⲙⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲁⲩⲕⲱⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲡⲁⲣⲉⲙⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲙⲡⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ ⲁⲩⲕⲱϩⲧ ⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲟⲙⲟⲩ
They went up over the breadth of the whole earth, and surrounded the camp of Christ’s People and the beloved city. Then fire fell from the heavens and consumed them;
Then I saw a great white throne, and him who was seated on it. ‘The earth and the heavens fled from his presence; no place was left for them.’
12 ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲛⲛⲟϭ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲉⲩⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲡⲉⲣϣ ϩⲉⲛϫⲱⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲛⲕⲉϫⲱⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲡⲁ ⲡⲱⲛϩ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲥⲏϩ ⲉⲛϫⲱⲱⲙⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲛⲉⲩϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ
And I saw the dead, high and low, standing before the throne; and books were opened. Then another book was opened, the Book of Life; and the dead were judged, according to their actions, by what was written in the books.
13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ⲁⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ ϯ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲉⲧⲛϩⲏⲧⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲛ ⲁⲙⲛⲧⲉ ⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲉⲧⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲛⲉⲩϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ (Hadēs g86)
The sea gave up its dead, and Death and the Lord of the Place of Death gave up their dead; and they were judged, one by one, each according to his actions. (Hadēs g86)
