Notes on this text (3)
- The digital source has no accents or capitals (as Robinson distributes it); 1912 base text, movable nu regularised.
- Double square brackets [[ ]] are marks in the digital source; at 1 John 5:7–8 they enclose the words the 1904 edition prints in smaller type.

1 και ειδον οτι ηνοιξεν το αρνιον μιαν εκ των επτα σφραγιδων· και ηκουσα ενος εκ των τεσσαρων ζωων λεγοντος, ως φωνη βροντης· ερχου.
1 I saw that the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as with a voice of thunder, “Come and see!”
2 και ειδον, και ιδου ιππος λευκος, και ο καθημενος επ αυτον εχων τοξον· και εδοθη αυτω στεφανος, και εξηλθεν νικων και ινα νικηση.
2 Then a white horse appeared, and he who sat on it had a bow. A crown was given to him, and he came out conquering, and to conquer.
3 και οτε ηνοιξεν την σφραγιδα την δευτεραν, ηκουσα του δευτερου ζωου λεγοντος· ερχου.
3 When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come!”
4 και εξηλθεν αλλος ιππος πυρρος, και τω καθημενω επ αυτον εδοθη αυτω λαβειν την ειρηνην εκ της γης και ινα αλληλους σφαξωσιν, και εδοθη αυτω μαχαιρα μεγαλη.
4 Another came out, a red horse. To him who sat on it was given power to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another. There was given to him a great sword.
5 και οτε ηνοιξεν την σφραγιδα την τριτην, ηκουσα του τριτου ζωου λεγοντος, ερχου. και ειδον, και ιδου ιππος μελας, και ο καθημενος επ αυτον εχων ζυγον εν τη χειρι αυτου·
5 When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, “Come and see!” And behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a balance in his hand.
6 και ηκουσα [ως] φωνην εν μεσω των τεσσαρων ζωων λεγουσαν· χοινιξ σιτου δηναριου, και τρεις χοινικες κριθης δηναριου· και το ελαιον και τον οινον μη αδικησης.
6 I heard a voice in the middle of the four living creatures saying, “A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three choenix of barley for a denarius! Don’t damage the oil and the wine!”
7 και οτε ηνοιξεν την σφραγιδα την τεταρτην, ηκουσα [φωνην] του τεταρτου ζωου λεγοντος· ερχου.
7 When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see!”
8 και ειδον, και ιδου ιππος χλωρος, και ο καθημενος επανω αυτου, ονομα αυτω ο θανατος, και ο αδης ηκολουθει μετ αυτου· και εδοθη αυτω εξουσια επι το τεταρτον της γης, αποκτειναι εν ρομφαια και εν λιμω και εν θανατω και υπο των θηριων της γης.
8 And behold, a pale horse, and the name of he who sat on it was Death. Hades followed with him. Authority over one fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword, with famine, with death, and by the wild animals of the earth was given to him.
9 και οτε ηνοιξεν την πεμπτην σφραγιδα, ειδον υποκατω του θυσιαστηριου τας ψυχας των εσφαγμενων δια τον λογον του θεου και δια την μαρτυριαν του αρνιου ην ειχον·
9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed for the Word of God, and for the testimony of the Lamb which they had.
10 και εκραξαν φωνη μεγαλη λεγοντες· εως ποτε, ο δεσποτης ο αγιος και ο αληθινος, ου κρινεις και εκδικεις το αιμα ημων εκ των κατοικουντων επι της γης;
10 They cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, Master, the holy and true, until you judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”
11 και εδοθη αυτοις [εκαστω] στολη λευκη, και ερρεθη αυτοις ινα αναπαυσωνται ετι χρονον [μικρον], εως πληρωσωσιν και οι συνδουλοι αυτων και οι αδελφοι αυτων οι μελλοντες αποκτεννεσθαι ως και αυτοι.
11 A long white robe was given to each of them. They were told that they should rest yet for a while, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who would also be killed even as they were, should complete their course.
12 και ειδον οτε ηνοιξεν την σφραγιδα την εκτην, και σεισμος μεγας εγενετο, και ο ηλιος μελας εγενετο ως σακκος τριχινος, και η σεληνη ολη εγενετο ως αιμα,
12 I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. The sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became as blood.
13 και οι αστερες του ουρανου επεσαν εις την γην, ως συκη βαλλουσα τους ολυνθους αυτης, υπο ανεμου μεγαλου σειομενη,
13 The stars of the sky fell to the earth, like a fig tree dropping its unripe figs when it is shaken by a great wind.
14 και ο ουρανος απεχωρισθη ως βιβλιον ελισσομενον, και παν ορος και νησος εκ των τοπων αυτων εκινηθησαν·
14 The sky was removed like a scroll when it is rolled up. Every mountain and island was moved out of its place.
15 και οι βασιλεις της γης και οι μεγιστανες και οι χιλιαρχοι και οι πλουσιοι και οι ισχυροι και πας δουλος και ελευθερος εκρυψαν εαυτους εις τα σπηλαια και εις τας πετρας των ορεων,
15 The kings of the earth, the princes, the commanding officers, the rich, the strong, and every slave and free person, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains.
16 και λεγουσιν τοις ορεσιν και ταις πετραις· πεσατε εφ ημας και κρυψατε ημας απο προσωπου του καθημενου επι του θρονου και απο της οργης του αρνιου,
16 They told the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb,
17 οτι ηλθεν η ημερα η μεγαλη της οργης αυτου, και τις δυναται σταθηναι;
17 for the great day of his wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”
