Αποκαλυψις Ιωαννου 5

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

And I saw upon the right hand of Him who is sitting upon the throne a scroll, written within and on the back, 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 messenger crying with a great voice, 'Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose the seals of it?'

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 was able in the heaven, nor upon the earth, nor under the earth, to open the scroll, nor to behold it.

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

And I was weeping much, because no one was found worthy to open and to read the scroll, nor to behold 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.

and one of the elders saith to me, 'Weep not; lo, overcome did the Lion, who is of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, to open the scroll, and to loose the seven seals of it;

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.

and I saw, and lo, in the midst of the throne, and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb hath stood as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the Seven Spirits of God, which are sent to all the earth,

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

and he came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who is sitting upon 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.

And when he took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell before the Lamb, having each one harps and golden vials full of perfumes, 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 sing a new song, saying, 'Worthy art thou to take the scroll, and to open the seals of it, because thou wast slain, and didst redeem us to God in thy blood, 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.

and didst make us to our God kings and priests, and we shall reign upon the 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

And I saw, and I heard the voice of many messengers round the throne, and the living creatures, and the elders — and the number of them was myriads of myriads, 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.

saying with a great voice, 'Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, 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 every creature that is in the heaven, and in the earth, and under the earth, and the things that are upon the sea, and the all things in them, heard I saying, 'To Him who is sitting upon the throne, and to the Lamb, [is] the blessing, and the honour, and the glory, and the might — to the ages of the ages!' (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 said, 'Amen!' and the twenty-four elders fell down and they bow before Him who is living to the ages of the ages.
