Αποκαλυψις Ιωαννου 4

1 Μετὰ ταῦτα εἶδον, καὶ ἰδοὺ θύρα ἠνεῳγμένη ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ, καὶ ἡ φωνὴ ἡ πρώτη ἣν ἤκουσα ὡς σάλπιγγος λαλούσης μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ (λέγων· *N(k)O*) ἀνάβα ὧδε, καὶ δείξω σοι ἃ δεῖ γενέσθαι μετὰ ταῦτα.

After these things I looked and saw a door opened in heaven; and the first voice that I heard, like a trumpet speaking with me, was one saying, “Come up here, and I will show you the things which must happen after this.”

2 (καὶ *k*) εὐθέως ἐγενόμην ἐν πνεύματι καὶ ἰδοὺ θρόνος ἔκειτο ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ, καὶ ἐπὶ (τὸν θρόνον *N(k)O*) καθήμενος.

Immediately I was in the Spirit. Behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting on the throne

3 καὶ ὁ καθήμενος (ἦν *k*) ὅμοιος ὁράσει λίθῳ ἰάσπιδι καὶ σαρδίῳ καὶ ἶρις κυκλόθεν τοῦ θρόνου (ὅμοιος ὁράσει *NK(o)*) (σμαραγδίνῳ. *N(k)O*)

that looked like a jasper stone and a sardius. There was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald to look at.

4 καὶ κυκλόθεν τοῦ θρόνου (θρόνους *N(k)O*) εἴκοσι (καὶ *k*) τέσσαρες, καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς θρόνους (εἴδον *K*) (τοὺς *k*) εἴκοσι (καὶ *k*) τέσσαρας πρεσβυτέρους καθημένους, περιβεβλημένους ἐν ἱματίοις λευκοῖς, καὶ (ἔσχον *k*) ἐπὶ τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν στεφάνους χρυσοῦς.

Around the throne were twenty-four thrones. On the thrones were twenty-four elders sitting, dressed in white garments, with crowns of gold on their heads.

5 καὶ ἐκ τοῦ θρόνου ἐκπορεύονται ἀστραπαὶ καὶ φωναὶ καὶ βρονταί, καὶ ἑπτὰ λαμπάδες πυρὸς καιόμεναι ἐνώπιον τοῦ θρόνου (αὐτοῦ *O*) (ἅ *N(k)O*) εἰσιν τὰ ἑπτὰ πνεύματα τοῦ θεοῦ,

Out of the throne proceed lightnings, sounds, and thunders. There were seven lamps of fire burning before his throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

6 καὶ ἐνώπιον τοῦ θρόνου (ὡς *NO*) θάλασσα ὑαλίνη, ὁμοία κρυστάλλῳ, καὶ ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ θρόνου καὶ κύκλῳ τοῦ θρόνου τέσσαρα ζῷα γέμοντα ὀφθαλμῶν ἔμπροσθεν καὶ ὄπισθεν.

Before the throne was something like a sea of glass, similar to crystal. In the middle of the throne, and around the throne were four living creatures full of eyes before and behind.

7 καὶ τὸ ζῷον τὸ πρῶτον ὅμοιον λέοντι, καὶ τὸ δεύτερον ζῷον ὅμοιον μόσχῳ, καὶ τὸ τρίτον ζῷον (ἔχων *N(k)O*) τὸ πρόσωπον ὡς (ἀνθρώπου, *N(k)O*) καὶ τὸ τέταρτον ζῷον ὅμοιον ἀετῷ πετομένῳ.

The first creature was like a lion, the second creature like a calf, the third creature had a face like a man, and the fourth was like a flying eagle.

8 καὶ τὰ τέσσαρα ζῷα, ἓν καθ᾽ (ἓν *n(o)*) (αὐτῶν *N(k)O*) (ἔχων *N(k)(o)*) ἀνὰ πτέρυγας ἕξ κυκλόθεν καὶ ἔσωθεν (γέμουσιν *N(k)O*) ὀφθαλμῶν καὶ ἀνάπαυσιν οὐκ ἔχουσιν ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτὸς (λέγοντες· *N(k)O*) ἅγιος ἅγιος ἅγιος κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὁ παντοκράτωρ, ὁ ἦν καὶ ὁ ὢν καὶ ὁ ἐρχόμενος.

The four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within. They have no rest day and night, saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come!”

9 καὶ ὅταν (δώσουσιν *NK(o)*) τὰ ζῷα δόξαν καὶ τιμὴν καὶ εὐχαριστίαν τῷ καθημένῳ ἐπὶ (τῷ θρόνῳ, *N(k)O*) τῷ ζῶντι εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων, (aiōn g165)

When the living creatures give glory, honour, and thanks to him who sits on the throne, to him who lives forever and ever, (aiōn g165)

10 πεσοῦνται οἱ εἴκοσι (καὶ *k*) τέσσαρες πρεσβύτεροι ἐνώπιον τοῦ καθημένου ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου καὶ (προσκυνήσουσιν *N(k)O*) τῷ ζῶντι εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων καὶ (βαλοῦσιν *N(k)O*) τοὺς στεφάνους αὐτῶν ἐνώπιον τοῦ θρόνου λέγοντες· (aiōn g165)

the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever, and throw their crowns before the throne, saying, (aiōn g165)

11 ἄξιος εἶ, ὁ κύριος (καὶ ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν, *NO*) (ὁ ἅγιος, *O*) λαβεῖν τὴν δόξαν καὶ τὴν τιμὴν καὶ τὴν δύναμιν. ὅτι σὺ ἔκτισας τὰ πάντα, καὶ διὰ τὸ θέλημά σου (ἦσαν *N(k)O*) καὶ ἐκτίσθησαν.

“Worthy are you, our Lord and God, the Holy One, to receive the glory, the honour, and the power, for you created all things, and because of your desire they existed and were created!”
