< Αποκαλυψις Ιωαννου 8 >
1 και οτε ηνοιξεν την σφραγιδα την εβδομην εγενετο σιγη εν τω ουρανω ωσ ημιωριον
And, as soon as he opened the seventh seal, there came to be silence in heaven, as it were half an hour.
2 και ειδον τουσ επτα αγγελουσ οι ενωπιον του θεου εστηκασιν και εδοθησαν αυτοισ επτα σαλπιγγεσ
And I saw the seven messengers which, before God, do stand; and there were given unto them seven trumpets.
3 και αλλοσ αγγελοσ ηλθεν και εσταθη επι του θυσιαστηριου εχων λιβανωτον χρυσουν και εδοθη αυτω θυμιαματα πολλα ινα δωση ταισ προσευχαισ των αγιων παντων επι το θυσιαστηριον το χρυσουν το ενωπιον του θρονου
And, another messenger, came, and took his stand at the altar, having a censer of gold: and there was given unto him much incense, that he might give [it] unto the prayers of all the saints, upon the altar of gold that is before the throne.
4 και ανεβη ο καπνοσ των θυμιαματων ταισ προσευχαισ των αγιων εκ χειροσ του αγγελου ενωπιον του θεου
And the smoke of the incense went up, with the prayers of the saints, out of the hand of the messenger before God.
5 και ειληφεν ο αγγελοσ τον λιβανωτον και εγεμισεν αυτον εκ του πυροσ του θυσιαστηριου και εβαλεν εισ την γην και εγενοντο βρονται και φωναι και αστραπαι και σεισμοσ
And the messenger at once took the censer, and filled it from the fire of the altar, and cast unto the earth; and there came to be thunderings, and voices, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
6 και οι επτα αγγελοι οι εχοντεσ τασ επτα σαλπιγγασ ητοιμασαν εαυτουσ ινα σαλπισωσιν
And, the seven messengers who had the seven trumpets, prepared themselves, that they might sound.
7 και ο πρωτοσ εσαλπισεν και εγενετο χαλαζα και πυρ μεμιγμενα εν αιματι και εβληθη εισ την γην και το τριτον τησ γησ κατεκαη και το τριτον των δενδρων κατεκαη και πασ χορτοσ χλωροσ κατεκαη
And, the first, sounded; and there came to be hail and fire mingled with blood, and it was cast unto the earth; and, the third of the earth, was burned up, and, the third of the trees, was burned up, and, all green herbage, was burned up.
8 και ο δευτεροσ αγγελοσ εσαλπισεν και ωσ οροσ μεγα καιομενον εβληθη εισ την θαλασσαν και εγενετο το τριτον τησ θαλασσησ αιμα
And, the second messenger, sounded; and, as it were a great mountain burning with fire, was cast into the sea; and the third of the sea became blood,
9 και απεθανεν το τριτον των κτισματων εν τη θαλασση τα εχοντα ψυχασ και το τριτον των πλοιων διεφθαρη
and the third of the creatures which were in the sea, which had life, died, the third of the ships, was destroyed.
10 και ο τριτοσ αγγελοσ εσαλπισεν και επεσεν εκ του ουρανου αστηρ μεγασ καιομενοσ ωσ λαμπασ και επεσεν επι το τριτον των ποταμων και επι τασ πηγασ των υδατων
And, the third messenger, sounded; and there fell, out of heaven, a great star, burning as a torch, and it fell upon the third of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters.
11 και το ονομα του αστεροσ λεγεται ο αψινθοσ και εγενετο το τριτον των υδατων εισ αψινθον και πολλοι των ανθρωπων απεθανον εκ των υδατων οτι επικρανθησαν
And, the name of the star, is called Wormwood; and the third of the waters became wormwood, and many of the men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
12 και ο τεταρτοσ αγγελοσ εσαλπισεν και επληγη το τριτον του ηλιου και το τριτον τησ σεληνησ και το τριτον των αστερων ινα σκοτισθη το τριτον αυτων και το τριτον αυτησ μη φανη η ημερα και η νυξ ομοιωσ
And, the fourth messenger, sounded; and the third of the sun was smitten, and the third of the moon, and the third of the stars, —in order that the third of them might be darkened, and the day might not shine for the third of it, and the night, in like manner.
13 και ειδον και ηκουσα ενοσ αετου πετομενου εν μεσουρανηματι λεγοντοσ φωνη μεγαλη ουαι ουαι ουαι τοισ κατοικουσιν επι τησ γησ εκ των λοιπων φωνων τησ σαλπιγγοσ των τριων αγγελων των μελλοντων σαλπιζειν
And I saw, and I heard one eagle, flying in mid-heaven, saying with a loud voice—Woe! woe! woe! unto them that are dwelling upon the earth, by reason of the remaining voices of the trumpet, of the three messengers who are about to sound.
