Αποκαλυψις Ιωαννου 5

1 Καὶ εἶδον ἐπὶ τὴν δεξιὰν τοῦ καθημένου ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου βιβλίον γεγραμμένον ἔσωθεν καὶ (ὄπισθεν, *NK(o)*) κατεσφραγισμένον σφραγῖσιν ἑπτά.

Then I saw lying upon the right hand of Him who sat upon the throne, a book written within and on the back, close sealed with seven seals.

2 Καὶ εἶδον ἄγγελον ἰσχυρὸν κηρύσσοντα ἐν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ· τίς (ἐστιν *k*) ἄξιος ἀνοῖξαι τὸ βιβλίον καὶ λῦσαι τὰς σφραγῖδας αὐτοῦ;

And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose its seals."

3 καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐδύνατο ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ (ἄνω *O*) (οὐδὲ *NK(o)*) ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς (οὐδὲ *NK(o)*) ὑποκάτω τῆς γῆς ἀνοῖξαι τὸ βιβλίον (οὔτε *N(k)O*) βλέπειν αὐτό.

And no one in the heavens or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book, or to look into it.

4 καὶ (ἐγὼ *ko*) ἔκλαιον (πολὺ *N(k)O*) ὅτι οὐδεὶς ἄξιος εὑρέθη ἀνοῖξαι (καὶ ἀναγνῶναι *K*) τὸ βιβλίον οὔτε βλέπειν αὐτό.

so I began to weep bitterly because no one was found worthy to open the book, or to look into it.

5 καὶ εἷς ἐκ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων λέγει μοι· μὴ κλαῖε. ἰδοὺ ἐνίκησεν ὁ λέων ὁ (ὢν *k*) ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς Ἰούδα, ἡ ῥίζα Δαυίδ, (ὁ *o*) (ἀνοῖξαι *NK(o)*) τὸ βιβλίον καὶ (λῦσαι *K*) τὰς ἑπτὰ σφραγῖδας αὐτοῦ.

But one of the Elders said to me. "Do not weep! Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, and so can open the book with its seven seals."

6 καὶ εἶδον (καὶ ἰδού, *K*) ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ θρόνου καὶ τῶν τεσσάρων ζῴων καὶ ἐν μέσῳ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων ἀρνίον (ἑστηκὸς *NK(o)*) ὡς ἐσφαγμένον (ἔχων *N(k)O*) κέρατα ἑπτὰ καὶ ὀφθαλμοὺς ἑπτὰ (οἵ *NK(o)*) εἰσιν τὰ ἑπτὰ πνεύματα τοῦ θεοῦ (τὰ *k*) (ἀπεσταλμένοι *NK(o)*) εἰς πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν.

Then I beheld a Lamb standing as if slain in the midst of the throne and of the four Living Creatures, and in the midst of the Elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes (which are the seven Spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth).

7 καὶ ἦλθεν καὶ εἴληφεν (τὸ *k*) (βιβλίον *K*) ἐκ τῆς δεξιᾶς τοῦ καθημένου ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου.

And he went, and now he has taken the book out of the right hand of Him who was seated on the throne.

8 καὶ ὅτε ἔλαβεν τὸ βιβλίον, τὰ τέσσαρα ζῷα καὶ οἱ εἴκοσι τέσσαρες πρεσβύτεροι ἔπεσαν ἐνώπιον τοῦ ἀρνίου ἔχοντες ἕκαστος (κιθάραν *N(K)O*) καὶ φιάλας χρυσᾶς γεμούσας θυμιαμάτων αἵ εἰσιν αἱ προσευχαὶ τῶν ἁγίων.

When he took the book, the four Living Creatures and the four and twenty Elders fell down before the Lamb. And each had a harp and a golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

9 καὶ ᾄδουσιν ᾠδὴν καινὴν λέγοντες· ἄξιος εἶ λαβεῖν τὸ βιβλίον καὶ ἀνοῖξαι τὰς σφραγῖδας αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἐσφάγης καὶ ἠγόρασας τῷ θεῷ (ἡμᾶς *KO*) ἐν τῷ αἵματί σου ἐκ πάσης φυλῆς καὶ γλώσσης καὶ λαοῦ καὶ ἔθνους

And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy art thou to take the book And to open its seals; For thou wast slain and didst ransom for God Men out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation;

10 καὶ ἐποίησας (αὐτοὺς *N(K)O*) τῷ θεῷ ἡμῶν (βασιλείαν *N(K)O*) καὶ ἱερεῖς, καὶ (βασιλεύσουσιν *N(K)(o)*) ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.

Thou hast made them kings and priests unto our God, And they shall reign on earth."

11 Καὶ εἶδον καὶ ἤκουσα (ὡς *O*) φωνὴν ἀγγέλων πολλῶν (κύκλῳ *N(k)O*) τοῦ θρόνου καὶ τῶν ζῴων καὶ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων. (καὶ ἦν ὁ ἀριθμὸς αὐτῶν μυριάδες μυριάδων *NO*) καὶ χιλιάδες χιλιάδων

Then I looked and heard a voice of many angels encircling the throne and a voice of the Living Creatures and of the Elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands,

12 λέγοντες φωνῇ μεγάλῃ· ἄξιόν ἐστιν τὸ ἀρνίον τὸ ἐσφαγμένον λαβεῖν τὴν δύναμιν καὶ (τὸν *o*) πλοῦτον καὶ σοφίαν καὶ ἰσχὺν καὶ τιμὴν καὶ δόξαν καὶ εὐλογίαν.

singing aloud, "Worthy is the Lamb who has been slain, To receive power and riches and wisdom And might and honor and glory and blessing."

13 καὶ πᾶν κτίσμα ὃ (ἐστιν *k*) ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ καὶ (ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς *N(k)O*) καὶ ὑποκάτω τῆς γῆς καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς θαλάσσης (ἅ *k*) (ἐστὶν *ko*) καὶ τὰ ἐν αὐτοῖς (πάντα *N(k)O*) ἤκουσα λέγοντας· τῷ καθημένῳ ἐπὶ (τῷ θρόνῳ *N(k)O*) καὶ τῷ ἀρνίῳ ἡ εὐλογία καὶ ἡ τιμὴ καὶ ἡ δόξα καὶ τὸ κράτος εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων (ἀμήν. *O*) (aiōn g165)

And I heard every created thing that is in heaven, or on earth, or beneath the earth, or on the sea, and all things that are in them, saying, "To him who sits on the throne, And to the Lamb, Be the blessing and the honor, And the glory and the power, Forever and ever!" (aiōn g165)

14 καὶ τὰ τέσσαρα ζῷα (ἔλεγον· *NK(o)*) (τὸ *o*) ἀμήν. καὶ οἱ (εἴκοσιτέσσαρες εἴκοσιτέσσαρες *K*) πρεσβύτεροι ἔπεσαν καὶ προσεκύνησαν (ζῶντι εἰς τοὺς αἰωνας τῶν αἰώνων. *K*)

And the four Living Creatures kept saying, "Amen!" And the Elders fell down and worshiped.
