Αποκαλυψις Ιωαννου 6
1 και ειδον οτι ηνοιξεν το αρνιον μιαν εκ των επτα σφραγιδων και ηκουσα ενος εκ των τεσσαρων ζωων λεγοντος ως φωνη βροντης ερχου
And I saw that the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living beings saying, like a voice of thunder, “Come!”
2 και ειδον και ιδου ιππος λευκος και ο καθημενος επ αυτον εχων τοξον και εδοθη αυτω στεφανος και εξηλθεν νικων και ινα νικηση
And I looked and, wow, a white horse! And he who sat on it had a bow. And a crown was given to him; and he went out conquering, that is, in order to conquer.
3 και οτε ηνοιξεν την σφραγιδα την δευτεραν ηκουσα του δευτερου ζωου λεγοντος ερχου
And when He opened the second seal I heard the second living being saying, “Come!”
4 και εξηλθεν αλλος ιππος πυρρος και τω καθημενω επ αυτον εδοθη αυτω λαβειν την ειρηνην εκ της γης και ινα αλληλους σφαξωσιν και εδοθη αυτω μαχαιρα μεγαλη
And another horse went out, fiery red, and it was granted to him who sat on it to take the peace from the earth, so that they would slaughter each other; also, a huge sword was given to him.
5 και οτε ηνοιξεν την σφραγιδα την τριτην ηκουσα του τριτου ζωου λεγοντος ερχου και ειδον και ιδου ιππος μελας και ο καθημενος επ αυτον εχων ζυγον εν τη χειρι αυτου
And when He opened the third seal I heard the third living being saying, “Come!” And I looked and, wow, a black horse! And he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand.
6 και ηκουσα [ ως ] φωνην εν μεσω των τεσσαρων ζωων λεγουσαν χοινιξ σιτου δηναριου και τρεις χοινικες κριθης δηναριου και το ελαιον και τον οινον μη αδικησης
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living beings saying: “A ‘quart’ of wheat for a denarius and three ‘quarts’ of barley for a denarius; but do not harm the olive oil and the wine.”
7 και οτε ηνοιξεν την σφραγιδα την τεταρτην ηκουσα [ φωνην ] του τεταρτου ζωου λεγοντος ερχου
And when He opened the fourth seal I heard a voice from the fourth living being saying, “Come!”
8 και ειδον και ιδου ιππος χλωρος και ο καθημενος επανω αυτου ονομα αυτω ο θανατος και ο αδης ηκολουθει μετ αυτου και εδοθη αυτω εξουσια επι το τεταρτον της γης αποκτειναι εν ρομφαια και εν λιμω και εν θανατω και υπο των θηριων της γης (Hadēs g86)
And I looked and, wow, a sickly pale horse! And as for the one sitting upon it, his name is Death, and Hades follows with him. And authority was given to him over a fourth of the earth, to kill by sword and by famine and by death, also by the wild animals of the earth. (Hadēs g86)
9 και οτε ηνοιξεν την πεμπτην σφραγιδα ειδον υποκατω του θυσιαστηριου τας ψυχας των εσφαγμενων δια τον λογον του θεου και δια την μαρτυριαν του αρνιου ην ειχον
And when He opened the fifth seal I saw underneath the altar the souls of the people who had been slaughtered on account of the Word of God and on account of the testimony of the Lamb which they held.
10 και εκραξαν φωνη μεγαλη λεγοντες εως ποτε ο δεσποτης ο αγιος και ο αληθινος ου κρινεις και εκδικεις το αιμα ημων εκ των κατοικουντων επι της γης
And they cried out with a loud voice saying: “How long, O Sovereign, Holy and True, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”
11 και εδοθη αυτοις [ εκαστω ] στολη λευκη και ερρεθη αυτοις ινα αναπαυσωνται ετι χρονον [ μικρον ] εως πληρωσωσιν και οι συνδουλοι αυτων και οι αδελφοι αυτων οι μελλοντες αποκτεννεσθαι ως και αυτοι
So a white robe was given to each of them, and they were told that they should rest a while longer, until both their fellow slaves and their brothers, who were about to be killed just like they were, should complete the number.
12 και ειδον οτε ηνοιξεν την σφραγιδα την εκτην και σεισμος μεγας εγενετο και ο ηλιος μελας εγενετο ως σακκος τριχινος και η σεληνη ολη εγενετο ως αιμα
And I saw, just when He opened the sixth seal—there was a severe earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood.
13 και οι αστερες του ουρανου επεσαν εις την γην ως συκη βαλλουσα τους ολυνθους αυτης υπο ανεμου μεγαλου σειομενη
And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, like a fig tree drops its late figs when shaken by a strong wind.
14 και ο ουρανος απεχωρισθη ως βιβλιον ελισσομενον και παν ορος και νησος εκ των τοπων αυτων εκινηθησαν
And the sky was split, like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place.
15 και οι βασιλεις της γης και οι μεγιστανες και οι χιλιαρχοι και οι πλουσιοι και οι ισχυροι και πας δουλος και ελευθερος εκρυψαν εαυτους εις τα σπηλαια και εις τας πετρας των ορεων
And the kings of the earth and the magnates and the generals and the rich and the mighty, and every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains.
16 και λεγουσιν τοις ορεσιν και ταις πετραις πεσατε εφ ημας και κρυψατε ημας απο προσωπου του καθημενου επι του θρονου και απο της οργης του αρνιου
And they said to the mountains and the rocks: “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!
17 οτι ηλθεν η ημερα η μεγαλη της οργης αυτου και τις δυναται σταθηναι
Because the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”
