< Αποκαλυψις Ιωαννου 5 >
1 και ειδον επι την δεξιαν του καθημενου επι του θρονου βιβλιον γεγραμμενον εσωθεν και οπισθεν κατεσφραγισμενον σφραγισιν επτα
And I saw on the right hand of him that sat upon the throne a book, written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals.
2 και ειδον αγγελον ισχυρον κηρυσσοντα φωνη μεγαλη τις εστιν αξιος ανοιξαι το βιβλιον και λυσαι τας σφραγιδας αυτου
And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who [is] worthy to open the book, and to break its seals?
3 και ουδεις ηδυνατο εν τω ουρανω ουδε επι της γης ουδε υποκατω της γης ανοιξαι το βιβλιον ουδε βλεπειν αυτο
And no one was able in the heaven, or upon the earth, or underneath the earth, to open the book, or to regard it.
4 και εγω εκλαιον πολλα οτι ουδεις αξιος ευρεθη ανοιξαι και αναγνωναι το βιβλιον ουτε βλεπειν αυτο
And I wept much because no one had been found worthy to open the book nor to regard it.
5 και εις εκ των πρεσβυτερων λεγει μοι μη κλαιε ιδου ενικησεν ο λεων ο ων εκ της φυλης ιουδα η ριζα δαβιδ ανοιξαι το βιβλιον και λυσαι τας επτα σφραγιδας αυτου
And one of the elders says to me, Do not weep. Behold, the lion which [is] of the tribe of Juda, the root of David, has overcome [so as] to open the book, and its seven seals.
6 και ειδον και ιδου εν μεσω του θρονου και των τεσσαρων ζωων και εν μεσω των πρεσβυτερων αρνιον εστηκος ως εσφαγμενον εχον κερατα επτα και οφθαλμους επτα οι εισιν τα επτα του θεου πνευματα τα απεσταλμενα εις πασαν την γην
And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, as slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God [which are] sent into all the earth:
7 και ηλθεν και ειληφεν το βιβλιον εκ της δεξιας του καθημενου επι του θρονου
and it came and took [it] out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
8 και οτε ελαβεν το βιβλιον τα τεσσαρα ζωα και οι εικοσιτεσσαρες πρεσβυτεροι επεσον ενωπιον του αρνιου εχοντες εκαστος κιθαρας και φιαλας χρυσας γεμουσας θυμιαματων αι εισιν αι προσευχαι των αγιων
And when it took the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell before the Lamb, having each a harp and golden bowls full of incenses, which are the prayers of the saints.
9 και αδουσιν ωδην καινην λεγοντες αξιος ει λαβειν το βιβλιον και ανοιξαι τας σφραγιδας αυτου οτι εσφαγης και ηγορασας τω θεω ημας εν τω αιματι σου εκ πασης φυλης και γλωσσης και λαου και εθνους
And they sing a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open its seals; because thou hast been slain, and hast redeemed to God, by thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation,
10 και εποιησας ημας τω θεω ημων βασιλεις και ιερεις και βασιλευσομεν επι της γης
and made them to our God kings and priests; and they shall reign over the earth.
11 και ειδον και ηκουσα φωνην αγγελων πολλων κυκλοθεν του θρονου και των ζωων και των πρεσβυτερων και ην ο αριθμος αυτων μυριαδες μυριαδων και χιλιαδες χιλιαδων
And I saw, and I heard [the] voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and their number was ten thousands of ten thousands and thousands of thousands;
12 λεγοντες φωνη μεγαλη αξιον εστιν το αρνιον το εσφαγμενον λαβειν την δυναμιν και πλουτον και σοφιαν και ισχυν και τιμην και δοξαν και ευλογιαν
saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that has been slain, to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
13 και παν κτισμα ο εστιν εν τω ουρανω και εν τη γη και υποκατω της γης και επι της θαλασσης α εστιν και τα εν αυτοις παντα ηκουσα λεγοντας τω καθημενω επι του θρονου και τω αρνιω η ευλογια και η τιμη και η δοξα και το κρατος εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων (aiōn )
And every creature which is in the heaven and upon the earth and under the earth, and [those that are] upon the sea, and all things in them, heard I saying, To him that sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb, blessing, and honour, and glory, and might, to the ages of ages. (aiōn )
14 και τα τεσσαρα ζωα ελεγον αμην και οι εικοσιτεσσαρες πρεσβυτεροι επεσαν και προσεκυνησαν ζωντι εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων
And the four living creatures said, Amen; and the elders fell down and did homage.
