< Αποκαλυψις Ιωαννου 10 >
1 και ειδον αγγελον ισχυρον καταβαινοντα εκ του ουρανου περιβεβλημενον νεφελην και η ιρισ επι τησ κεφαλησ αυτου και το προσωπον αυτου ωσ ο ηλιοσ και οι ποδεσ αυτου ωσ στυλοι πυροσ
[In the vision] I saw another mighty angel that was coming down out of heaven. A cloud [surrounded him]. There was a rainbow over his head. His face [shone] [SIM] like the sun. His legs looked like pillars of fire.
2 και εχων εν τη χειρι αυτου βιβλιον ανεωγμενον και εθηκεν τον ποδα αυτου τον δεξιον επι τησ θαλασσησ τον δε ευωνυμον επι τησ γησ
He had in his hand a small scroll that was open. He set his right foot on the ocean and his left foot on the land.
3 και εκραξεν φωνη μεγαλη ωσπερ λεων μυκαται και οτε εκραξεν ελαλησαν αι επτα βρονται τασ εαυτων φωνασ
He shouted something with a loud voice, a voice like the roar of a lion. When he shouted this, it thundered seven [times], speaking [words that I could understand].
4 και οτε ελαλησαν αι επτα βρονται εμελλον γραφειν και ηκουσα φωνην εκ του ουρανου λεγουσαν σφραγισον α ελαλησαν αι επτα βρονται και μη αυτα γραψησ
When it thundered [like that], I was about to write [the words that I] heard, but a voice from heaven said to me, “Keep secret what the thunder said! Do not write it down!”
5 και ο αγγελοσ ον ειδον εστωτα επι τησ θαλασσησ και επι τησ γησ ηρεν την χειρα αυτου την δεξιαν εισ τον ουρανον
Then the angel whom I had seen standing on the ocean and the land raised his right hand toward heaven,
6 και ωμοσεν τω ζωντι εισ τουσ αιωνασ των αιωνων οσ εκτισεν τον ουρανον και τα εν αυτω και την γην και τα εν αυτη και την θαλασσαν και τα εν αυτη οτι χρονοσ ουκετι εσται (aiōn )
and he asked the one who lives forever, the one who created heaven and everything that is in it, [who created] the earth and everything that is in it, and [who created] the ocean and everything that is in it, to affirm that what he said was true. [He said that he] would surely no longer delay [what he had planned to do]. (aiōn )
7 αλλ εν ταισ ημεραισ τησ φωνησ του εβδομου αγγελου οταν μελλη σαλπιζειν και ετελεσθη το μυστηριον του θεου ωσ ευηγγελισεν τουσ δουλουσ αυτου τουσ προφητασ
He said that when the time [came] for the seventh angel to blow his trumpet, [he] would complete what God had secretly planned, just like he announced [long ago] to his servants, the prophets.
8 και η φωνη ην ηκουσα εκ του ουρανου παλιν λαλουσα μετ εμου και λεγουσα υπαγε λαβε το βιβλιδαριον το ανεωγμενον εν τη χειρι του αγγελου του εστωτοσ επι τησ θαλασσησ και επι τησ γησ
The one whose voice I had heard from heaven spoke to me again. He said, “Go and take the open scroll from the hand of the angel who is standing on the ocean and on the land.”
9 και απηλθον προσ τον αγγελον λεγων αυτω δουναι μοι το βιβλιδαριον και λεγει μοι λαβε και καταφαγε αυτο και πικρανει σου την κοιλιαν αλλ εν τω στοματι σου εσται γλυκυ ωσ μελι
So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He said to me, “Take it and eat it. In your mouth it will [taste] sweet like honey, but it will make your stomach bitter.”
10 και ελαβον το βιβλιον εκ τησ χειροσ του αγγελου και κατεφαγον αυτο και ην εν τω στοματι μου ωσ μελι γλυκυ και οτε εφαγον αυτο επικρανθη η κοιλια μου
I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it. In my mouth it [tasted] sweet like honey, but when I had eaten it, [it] made my stomach turn sour.
11 και λεγουσιν μοι δει σε παλιν προφητευσαι επι λαοισ και επι εθνεσιν και γλωσσαισ και βασιλευσιν πολλοισ
The one whose [voice spoke from heaven said to me], “You must (prophesy again/proclaim again what I will reveal to you) about many people-[groups], many nations, [speakers of] many languages [MTY], and many kings.”
