< Revelation 5 >
1 Then I saw a scroll in the right hand of the One seated on the throne. It had writing on both sides and was sealed with seven seals.
και ειδον επι την δεξιαν του καθημενου επι του θρονου βιβλιον γεγραμμενον εσωθεν και εξωθεν κατεσφραγισμενον σφραγισιν επτα
2 And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?”
και ειδον αγγελον ισχυρον κηρυσσοντα εν φωνη μεγαλη τισ αξιοσ εστιν ανοιξαι το βιβλιον και λυσαι τασ σφραγιδασ αυτου
3 But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or look inside it.
και ουδεισ εδυνατο εν τω ουρανω ανω ουτε επι τησ γησ ουτε υποκατω τησ γησ ανοιξαι το βιβλιον ουτε βλεπειν αυτο
4 And I began to weep bitterly, because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or look inside it.
και εγω εκλαιον πολυ οτι ουδεισ αξιοσ ευρεθη ανοιξαι το βιβλιον ουτε βλεπειν αυτο
5 Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed to open the scroll and its seven seals.”
και εισ εκ των πρεσβυτερων λεγει μοι μη κλαιε ιδου ενικησεν ο λεων ο εκ τησ φυλησ ιουδα η ριζα δαυιδ ο ανοιγων το βιβλιον και τασ επτα σφραγιδασ αυτου
6 Then I saw a Lamb who appeared to have been slain, standing in the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which represent the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth.
και ειδον εν μεσω του θρονου και των τεσσαρων ζωων και εν μεσω των πρεσβυτερων αρνιον εστηκοσ ωσ εσφαγμενον εχον κερατα επτα και οφθαλμουσ επτα α εισιν τα επτα πνευματα του θεου αποστελλομενα εισ πασαν την γην
7 And He came and took the scroll from the right hand of the One seated on the throne.
και ηλθεν και ειληφεν εκ τησ δεξιασ του καθημενου επι του θρονου
8 When He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp, and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
και οτε ελαβεν το βιβλιον τα τεσσαρα ζωα και οι εικοσι τεσσαρεσ πρεσβυτεροι επεσον ενωπιον του αρνιου εχοντεσ εκαστοσ κιθαραν και φιαλασ χρυσασ γεμουσασ θυμιαματων αι εισιν προσευχαι των αγιων
9 And they sang a new song: “Worthy are You to take the scroll and open its seals, because You were slain, and by Your blood You purchased for God those from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.
και αδουσιν ωδην καινην λεγοντεσ αξιοσ ει λαβειν το βιβλιον και ανοιξαι τασ σφραγιδασ αυτου οτι εσφαγησ και ηγορασασ τω θεω ημασ εν τω αιματι σου εκ πασησ φυλησ και γλωσσησ και λαου και εθνουσ
10 You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign upon the earth.”
και εποιησασ αυτουσ τω θεω ημων βασιλεισ και ιερεισ και βασιλευσουσιν επι τησ γησ
11 Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels and living creatures and elders encircling the throne, and their number was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands.
και ειδον και ηκουσα ωσ φωνην αγγελων πολλων κυκλω του θρονου και των ζωων και των πρεσβυτερων και ην ο αριθμοσ αυτων μυριαδεσ μυριαδων και χιλιαδεσ χιλιαδων
12 In a loud voice they were saying: “Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing!”
λεγοντεσ φωνη μεγαλη αξιον εστιν το αρνιον το εσφαγμενον λαβειν την δυναμιν και τον πλουτον και σοφιαν και ισχυν και τιμην και δοξαν και ευλογιαν
13 And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying: “To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power forever and ever!” (aiōn )
και παν κτισμα ο εν τω ουρανω και επι τησ γησ και υποκατω τησ γησ και επι τησ θαλασσησ εστιν και τα εν αυτοισ παντασ ηκουσα λεγοντασ τω καθημενω επι του θρονου και τω αρνιω η ευλογια και η τιμη και η δοξα και το κρατοσ εισ τουσ αιωνασ των αιωνων αμην (aiōn )
14 And the four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped.
και τα τεσσαρα ζωα λεγοντα το αμην και οι πρεσβυτεροι επεσον και προσεκυνησαν
