Αποκαλυψις Ιωαννου 20

1 Και είδον άγγελον καταβαίνοντα εκ του ουρανού, όστις είχε το κλειδίον της αβύσσου και άλυσιν μεγάλην εν τη χειρί αυτού. (Abyssos g12)

Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, with the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. (Abyssos g12)

2 Και επίασε τον δράκοντα, τον όφιν τον αρχαίον, όστις είναι Διάβολος και Σατανάς, και έδεσεν αυτόν χίλια έτη,

He seized the Dragon, the primeval snake (who is the “devil” or “Satan”), and bound him in chains for a thousand years.

3 και έρριψεν αυτόν εις την άβυσσον και έκλεισεν αυτόν και εσφράγισεν επάνω αυτού, διά να μη πλανήση τα έθνη πλέον, εωσού πληρωθώσι τα χίλια έτη· και μετά ταύτα πρέπει να λυθή ολίγον καιρόν. (Abyssos g12)

He flung him into the bottomless pit and locked it, and set his seal on it; that he should not deceive the nations any more, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be let loose for a while. (Abyssos g12)

4 Και είδον θρόνους, και εκάθησαν επ' αυτών, και κρίσις εδόθη εις αυτούς και είδον τας ψυχάς των πεπελεκισμένων διά την μαρτυρίαν του Ιησού και διά τον λόγον του Θεού, και οίτινες δεν προσεκύνησαν το θηρίον ούτε την εικόνα αυτού, και δεν έλαβον το χάραγμα επί το μέτωπον αυτών και επί την χείρα αυτών· και έζησαν και εβασίλευσαν μετά του Χριστού τα χίλια έτη.

Then I saw thrones, and to those who took their seats on them authority was given to act as judges. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the testimony to Jesus and because of the message of God, for they had refused to worship the Beast or its image, and had not received the brand on their foreheads and on their hands. They were restored to life, and they reigned with the Christ for a thousand years.

5 Οι δε λοιποί των νεκρών δεν ανέζησαν, εωσού πληρωθώσι τα χίλια έτη. Αύτη είναι η ανάστασις η πρώτη.

(The rest of the dead were not restored to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection.

6 Μακάριος και άγιος, όστις έχει μέρος εις την πρώτην ανάστασιν· επί τούτων ο θάνατος ο δεύτερος δεν έχει εξουσίαν, αλλά θέλουσιν είσθαι ιερείς του Θεού και του Χριστού και θέλουσι βασιλεύσει μετ' αυτού χίλια έτη.

Blessed and holy will he be who shares in that first resurrection. The second Death has no power over them; but they will be priests of God, and the Christ, and they will reign with him for the thousand years.

7 Και όταν πληρωθώσι τα χίλια έτη, θέλει λυθή ο Σατανάς εκ της φυλακής αυτού,

When the thousand years are ended, Satan will be let loose from his prison,

8 και θέλει εξέλθει, διά να πλανήση τα έθνη τα εις τας τέσσαρας γωνίας της γης, τον Γωγ και τον Μαγώγ, διά να συνάξη αυτούς εις πόλεμον, των οποίων ο αριθμός είναι ως η άμμος της θαλάσσης.

and he will come out to deceive the nations that live in the four corners of the earth – Gog and Magog. He will come to gather them together for battle; and their number will be as great as the sand on the sea-shore.

9 Και ανέβησαν επί το πλάτος της γης και περιεκύκλωσαν το στρατόπεδον των αγίων και την πόλιν την ηγαπημένην· και κατέβη πυρ από του Θεού εκ του ουρανού και κατέφαγεν αυτούς·

They went up over the breadth of the whole earth, and surrounded the camp of Christ’s people and the city that he loves. Then fire fell from the heavens and consumed them;

10 και ο διάβολος ο πλανών αυτούς ερρίφθη εις την λίμνην του πυρός και του θείου, όπου είναι το θηρίον και ο ψευδοπροφήτης, και θέλουσι βασανίζεσθαι ημέραν και νύκτα εις τους αιώνας των αιώνων. (aiōn g165, Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)

and the devil, their deceiver, was hurled into the lake of fire and sulphur, where the Beast and the false prophet already were, and they will be tortured day and night for ever and ever. (aiōn g165, Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)

11 Και είδον θρόνον λευκόν μέγαν και τον καθήμενον επ' αυτού, από προσώπου του οποίου έφυγεν η γη και ο ουρανός, και δεν ευρέθη τόπος δι' αυτά.

Then I saw a great white throne, and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence; no place was left for them.

12 Και είδον τους νεκρούς, μικρούς και μεγάλους, ισταμένους ενώπιον του Θεού, και τα βιβλία ηνοίχθησαν· και βιβλίον άλλο ηνοίχθη, το οποίον είναι της ζωής· και εκρίθησαν οι νεκροί εκ των γεγραμμένων εν τοις βιβλίοις κατά τα έργα αυτών.

And I saw the dead, high and low, standing before the throne; and books were opened. Then another book was opened, the book of life; and the dead were judged, according to their actions, by what was written in the books.

13 Και έδωκεν η θάλασσα τους εν αυτή νεκρούς, και ο θάνατος και ο άδης έδωκαν τους εν αυτοίς νεκρούς, και εκρίθησαν έκαστος κατά τα έργα αυτών. (Hadēs g86)

The sea gave up its dead, and Death and Hades gave up their dead; and they were judged, one by one, each according to his actions. (Hadēs g86)

14 Και ο θάνατος και ο άδης ερρίφθησαν εις την λίμνην του πυρός· ούτος είναι ο δεύτερος θάνατος. (Hadēs g86, Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)

Then Death and Hades were hurled into the lake of fire. This is the Second Death – the lake of fire; (Hadēs g86, Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)

15 Και όστις δεν ευρέθη γεγραμμένος εν τω βιβλίω της ζωής, ερρίφθη εις την λίμνην του πυρός. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)

and all whose names were not found written in the book of life were hurled into the lake of fire. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
