Αποκαλυψις Ιωαννου 19

1 μετα ταυτα ηκουσα ως φωνην μεγαλην οχλου πολλου εν τω ουρανω λεγοντων αλληλουια η σωτηρια και η δοξα και η δυναμις του θεου ημων

After this, I heard what seemed to be a great shout from a vast throng in Heaven, crying — ‘Hallelujah! To our God belong Salvation, and Glory, and Power,

2 οτι αληθιναι και δικαιαι αι κρισεις αυτου οτι εκρινεν την πορνην την μεγαλην ητις διεφθειρεν την γην εν τη πορνεια αυτης και εξεδικησεν το αιμα των δουλων αυτου εκ χειρος αυτης

for true and righteous are his judgments. For he has passed judgment upon the Great Harlot who was corrupting the earth by her licentiousness, and he has taken vengeance upon her for the blood of his servants.’

3 και δευτερον ειρηκαν αλληλουια και ο καπνος αυτης αναβαινει εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων (aiōn g165)

Again they cried — ‘Hallelujah!’ And the smoke from her ruins rises for ever and ever. (aiōn g165)

4 και επεσαν οι εικοσι και τεσσαρες πρεσβυτεροι και τα τεσσαρα ζωα και προσεκυνησαν τω θεω τω καθημενω επι τω θρονω λεγοντες αμην αλληλουια

Then the twenty-four Councillors and the Four Creatures prostrated themselves and worshiped God who was seated upon the throne, crying — ‘Amen, Hallelujah!’;

5 και φωνη απο του θρονου εξηλθεν λεγουσα αινειτε τον θεον ημων παντες οι δουλοι αυτου και οι φοβουμενοι αυτον οι μικροι και οι μεγαλοι

and from the throne there came a voice which said — ‘Praise our God all you who serve him, You who reverence him, both high and low.’

6 και ηκουσα ως φωνην οχλου πολλου και ως φωνην υδατων πολλων και ως φωνην βροντων ισχυρων λεγοντων αλληλουια οτι εβασιλευσεν κυριος ο θεος ο παντοκρατωρ

Then I heard ‘what seemed to be the shout of a vast throng, like the sound of many waters,’ and like the sound of loud peals of thunder, crying — ‘Hallelujah! For the Lord is King, our God, the Almighty.

7 χαιρωμεν και αγαλλιωμεθα και δωμεν την δοξαν αυτω οτι ηλθεν ο γαμος του αρνιου και η γυνη αυτου ητοιμασεν εαυτην

Let us rejoice and exalt; and we will pay him honour, for the hour for the Marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready.

8 και εδοθη αυτη ινα περιβαληται βυσσινον λαμπρον καθαρον το γαρ βυσσινον τα δικαιωματα των αγιων εστιν

And to her it has been granted to robe herself in fine linen, white and pure, for that linen is the good deeds of the People of Christ.’

9 και λεγει μοι γραψον μακαριοι οι εις το δειπνον του γαμου του αρνιου κεκλημενοι και λεγει μοι ουτοι οι λογοι αληθινοι του θεου εισιν

Then a voice said to me ‘Write — “Blessed are those who have been summoned to the marriage feast of the Lamb.”’ And the voice said — ‘These words of God are true.’

10 και επεσα εμπροσθεν των ποδων αυτου προσκυνησαι αυτω και λεγει μοι ορα μη συνδουλος σου ειμι και των αδελφων σου των εχοντων την μαρτυριαν ιησου τω θεω προσκυνησον η γαρ μαρτυρια του ιησου εστιν το πνευμα της προφητειας

I prostrated myself at the feet of him who spoke to worship him, but he said to me — ‘Forbear; I am your fellow-servant, and the fellow-servant of your Brothers who bear their testimony to Jesus. Worship God. For to bear testimony to Jesus needs the inspiration of the Prophets.’

11 και ειδον τον ουρανον ανεωγμενον και ιδου ιππος λευκος και ο καθημενος επ αυτον καλουμενος πιστος και αληθινος και εν δικαιοσυνη κρινει και πολεμει

Then I saw that Heaven lay open. There appears a white horse; its rider is called ‘Faithful’ and ‘True’; righteously does he judge and make war.

12 οι δε οφθαλμοι αυτου ως φλοξ πυρος και επι την κεφαλην αυτου διαδηματα πολλα εχων [ ονοματα γεγραμμενα και ] ονομα γεγραμμενον ο ουδεις οιδεν ει μη αυτος

His eyes are flaming fires; on his head there are many diadems, and he bears a name, written, which no one knows but himself;

13 και περιβεβλημενος ιματιον βεβαμμενον [ εν ] αιματι και κεκληται το ονομα αυτου ο λογος του θεου

he has been clothed in a garment sprinkled with blood; and the name by which he is called is ‘The Word of God.’

14 και τα στρατευματα [ τα ] εν τω ουρανω ηκολουθει αυτω επι ιπποις λευκοις ενδεδυμενοι βυσσινον λευκον καθαρον

The armies of Heaven followed him, mounted on white horses and clothed in fine linen, white and pure.

15 και εκ του στοματος αυτου εκπορευεται ρομφαια οξεια [ διστομος ] ινα εν αυτη πατασση τα εθνη και αυτος ποιμανει αυτους εν ραβδω σιδηρα και αυτος πατει την ληνον του οινου του θυμου της οργης του θεου του παντοκρατορος

From his mouth comes a sharp sword, with which ‘to smite the nations; and he will rule them with an iron rod.’ He ‘treads the grapes in the press’ of the maddening wine of the Wrath of Almighty God;

16 και εχει επι το ιματιον και επι τον μηρον αυτου ονομα γεγραμμενον βασιλευς βασιλεων και κυριος κυριων

and on his robe and on his thigh he has this name written — ‘KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.’

17 και ειδον ενα αγγελον εστωτα εν τω ηλιω και εκραξεν [ εν ] φωνη μεγαλη λεγων πασιν τοις ορνεοις τοις πετομενοις εν μεσουρανηματι δευτε συναχθητε εις το δειπνον το μεγα του θεου

Then I saw an angel standing on the sun. He cried in a loud voice to all the birds that fly in mid-heaven — ‘Gather and come to the great feast of God,

18 ινα φαγητε σαρκας βασιλεων και σαρκας χιλιαρχων και σαρκας ισχυρων και σαρκας ιππων και των καθημενων επ αυτων και σαρκας παντων ελευθερων [ τε ] και δουλων και μικρων [ τε ] και μεγαλων

to eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of commanders, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all freemen and slaves, and of high and low.’

19 και ειδον το θηριον και τους βασιλεις της γης και τα στρατευματα αυτων συνηγμενα ποιησαι τον πολεμον μετα του καθημενου επι του ιππου και μετα του στρατευματος αυτου

Then I saw the Beast and the kings of the earth and their armies, gathered together to fight with him who sat on the horse and with his army.

20 και επιασθη το θηριον και ο μετ αυτου ψευδοπροφητης ο ποιησας τα σημεια ενωπιον αυτου εν οις επλανησεν τους λαβοντας το χαραγμα του θηριου και τους προσκυνουντας τη εικονι αυτου ζωντες εβληθησαν οι δυο εις την λιμνην του πυρος την καιομενην εν θειω (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)

The Beast was captured, and with him was taken the false Prophet, who performed the marvels before the eyes of the Beast, with which he deceived those who had received the brand of the Beast and those who worshiped his image. Alive, they were thrown, both of them, into the fiery lake ‘of burning sulphur.’ (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)

21 και οι λοιποι απεκτανθησαν εν τη ρομφαια του καθημενου επι του ιππου τη εξελθουση εκ του στοματος αυτου και παντα τα ορνεα εχορτασθησαν εκ των σαρκων αυτων

The rest were killed by the sword which came out of the mouth of him who rode upon the horse; and all the birds fed upon their flesh.
