< 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 και ιδε
I looked when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice that sounded like thunder, “Come!”
2 και ιδου ιπποσ λευκοσ και ο καθημενοσ επ αυτον εχων τοξον και εδοθη αυτω στεφανοσ και εξηλθεν νικων και ινα νικηση
I looked and there was a white horse. Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown. He came out as a conqueror in order to conquer.
3 και οτε ηνοιξεν την δευτεραν σφραγιδα ηκουσα του δευτερου ζωου λεγοντοσ ερχου
When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!”
4 και εξηλθεν αλλοσ ιπποσ πυροσ και τω καθημενω επ αυτον εδοθη αυτω λαβειν την ειρηνην εκ τησ γησ ινα αλληλουσ σφαξωσιν και εδοθη αυτω μαχαιρα μεγαλη
Then another horse came out—fiery red. To its rider was given permission to take peace away from the earth, so that its people would slaughter one another. This rider was given a huge sword.
5 και οτε ηνοιξεν την σφραγιδα την τριτην ηκουσα του τριτου ζωου λεγοντοσ ερχου και ιδε και ιδου ιπποσ μελασ και ο καθημενοσ επ αυτον εχων ζυγον εν τη χειρι αυτου
When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I saw a black horse, and its rider held a pair of scales in his hand.
6 και ηκουσα φωνην εν μεσω των τεσσαρων ζωων λεγουσαν χοινιξ σιτου δηναριου και τρεισ χοινικεσ κριθησ δηναριου και το ελαιον και τον οινον μη αδικησησ
I heard what seemed to be a voice among the four living creatures say, “A choenix of wheat for one denarius, and three choenices of barley for a denarius. But do not harm the oil and the wine.”
7 και οτε ηνοιξεν την σφραγιδα την τεταρτην ηκουσα του τεταρτου ζωου λεγοντοσ ερχου και ιδε
When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!”
8 και ιδου ιπποσ χλωροσ και ο καθημενοσ επανω αυτου ονομα αυτω ο θανατοσ και ο αδησ ηκολουθει αυτω 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 )
Then I saw a pale horse. The rider on it was named Death, and Hades was following him. They were given authority over one-fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword, with famine and disease, and with the wild animals of the earth. (Hadēs )
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
When the Lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been killed because of the word of God and the testimony which they held.
10 και εκραξαν φωνη μεγαλη λεγοντεσ εωσ ποτε ο δεσποτησ ο αγιοσ και αληθινοσ ου κρινεισ και εκδικεισ το αιμα ημων εκ των κατοικουντων επι τησ γησ
They cried out with a loud voice, “How long, Ruler over all, holy and true, until you judge those who live on the earth, and until you avenge our blood?”
11 και εδοθη αυτοισ εκαστω στολη λευκη και ερρεθη αυτοισ ινα αναπαυσωνται ετι χρονον εωσ πληρωσωσιν και οι συνδουλοι αυτων και οι αδελφοι αυτων και οι μελλοντεσ αποκτενεσθαι ωσ και αυτοι
Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told that they should wait a little longer until the full number of their fellow servants and their brothers and sisters was reached who were to be killed, just as they had been killed.
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
When the Lamb opened the sixth seal, I watched and there was a great earthquake. The sun became as black as sackcloth, and the full moon became like blood.
13 και οι αστερεσ του ουρανου επεσον εισ την γην ωσ συκη βαλουσα τουσ ολυνθουσ αυτησ υπο ανεμου μεγαλου σειομενη
The stars in the heavens fell to the earth, just as a fig tree drops its unripe fruit when shaken by a stormy wind.
14 και ο ουρανοσ απεχωρισθη ωσ βιβλιον ελισσομενον και παν οροσ και νησοσ εκ των τοπων αυτων εκινηθησαν
The sky vanished like a scroll that was being rolled up. 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
Then the kings of the earth and the important people, and the generals, and the rich, and the powerful, and everyone else, slave and free, hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains.
16 και λεγουσιν τοισ ορεσιν και ταισ πετραισ πεσετε εφ ημασ και κρυψατε ημασ απο προσωπου του καθημενου επι του θρονου και απο τησ οργησ του αρνιου
They said to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us! Hide us from the face of the one who is seated on the throne and from the Lamb's wrath.
17 οτι ηλθεν η ημερα η μεγαλη τησ οργησ αυτου και τισ δυναται σταθηναι
For the great day of their wrath has come. Who is able to stand?”
