< Αποκαλυψις Ιωαννου 4 >
1 μετα ταυτα ειδον και ιδου θυρα ανεωγμενη εν τω ουρανω και η φωνη η πρωτη ην ηκουσα ωσ σαλπιγγοσ λαλουσησ μετ εμου λεγων αναβα ωδε και δειξω σοι α δει γενεσθαι μετα ταυτα
After this I saw, and lo! an open door in heaven; and the former voice, which I heard as of a trumpet speaking with me, said, Come up hither, and I will show thee what things must take place after these.
2 και ευθεωσ εγενομην εν πνευματι και ιδου θρονοσ εκειτο εν τω ουρανω και επι τον θρονον καθημενοσ
Immediately I was in the Spirit; and lo! a throne was set ha heaven, and one sat on the throne.
3 ομοιοσ ορασει λιθω ιασπιδι και σαρδιω και ιρισ κυκλοθεν του θρονου ομοιωσ ορασισ σμαραγδινων
And he who sat was in appearance like a jasper stone and a sardius; and there was a rainbow around the throne like in appearance to an emerald.
4 και κυκλοθεν του θρονου θρονοι εικοσι τεσσαρεσ και επι τουσ θρονουσ τουσ εικοσι τεσσαρασ πρεσβυτερουσ καθημενουσ περιβεβλημενουσ εν ιματιοισ λευκοισ και επι τασ κεφαλασ αυτων στεφανουσ χρυσουσ
And around the throne were twenty-four thrones; and upon the thrones I saw the twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white garments, and on their heads crowns of gold.
5 και εκ του θρονου εκπορευονται αστραπαι και φωναι και βρονται και επτα λαμπαδεσ πυροσ καιομεναι ενωπιον του θρονου αυτου αι εισιν επτα πνευματα του θεου
And out of the throne proceed lightnings, and voices and thunders; and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God;
6 και ενωπιον του θρονου ωσ θαλασσα υαλινη ομοια κρυσταλλω και εν μεσω του θρονου και κυκλω του θρονου τεσσαρα ζωα γεμοντα οφθαλμων εμπροσθεν και οπισθεν
and before the throne there was as it were a sea of glass like to crystal; and in the middle before the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes before and behind.
7 και το ζωον το πρωτον ομοιον λεοντι και το δευτερον ζωον ομοιον μοσχω και το τριτον ζωον εχον προσωπον ανθρωπου και το τεταρτον ζωον ομοιον αετω πετομενω
And the first living creature was like a lion, and the second living creature like a calf, and the third living creature had the face of a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle.
8 και τα τεσσαρα ζωα εν καθ εν εχον ανα πτερυγασ εξ κυκλοθεν και εσωθεν γεμουσιν οφθαλμων και αναπαυσιν ουκ εχουσιν ημερασ και νυκτοσ λεγοντεσ αγιοσ αγιοσ αγιοσ κυριοσ ο θεοσ ο παντοκρατωρ ο ην και ο ων και ο ερχομενοσ
And the four living creatures, having each of them six wings, around and within are full of eyes; and they have no rest day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was, and who is, and who is to come.
9 και οταν δωσιν τα ζωα δοξαν και τιμην και ευχαριστιαν τω καθημενω επι του θρονου τω ζωντι εισ τουσ αιωνασ των αιωνων (aiōn )
And when the living creatures give glory, and honor, and thanksgiving to him that sitteth on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, (aiōn )
10 πεσουνται οι εικοσι τεσσαρεσ πρεσβυτεροι ενωπιον του καθημενου επι του θρονου και προσκυνησουσιν τω ζωντι εισ τουσ αιωνασ των αιωνων και βαλουσιν τουσ στεφανουσ αυτων ενωπιον του θρονου λεγοντεσ (aiōn )
the twenty-four elders fall down before him that sitteth on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, (aiōn )
11 αξιοσ ει ο κυριοσ και ο θεοσ ημων ο αγιοσ λαβειν την δοξαν και την τιμην και την δυναμιν οτι συ εκτισασ παντα και δια το θελημα σου ησαν και εκτισθησαν
Worthy art thou, O Lord, and our God, to receive the glory, and the honor, and the power; for thou didst create all things, and on account of thy will they were, and were created.
