PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Και μετά ταύτα είδον άγγελον καταβαίνοντα εκ του ουρανού, όστις είχεν εξουσίαν μεγάλην, και η γη εφωτίσθη εκ της δόξης αυτού,
1 After these things, I saw another angel coming down out of the sky, having great authority. The earth was illuminated with his glory.
1 Μετὰ ταῦτα εἶδον ἄλλον ἄγγελον καταβαίνοντα ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, ἔχοντα ἐξουσίαν μεγάλην, καὶ ἡ γῆ ἐφωτίσθη ἐκ τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ,
2 και έκραξε δυνατά μετά φωνής μεγάλης, λέγων· Έπεσεν, έπεσε Βαβυλών η μεγάλη, και έγεινε κατοικητήριον δαιμόνων και φυλακή παντός πνεύματος ακαθάρτου και φυλακή παντός ορνέου ακαθάρτου και μισητού·
2 He cried with a mighty voice, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and she has become a habitation of demons, a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hated bird!
2 καὶ ἔκραξεν ἐν ἰσχυρᾷ φωνῇ λέγων· ἔπεσεν, ἔπεσε Βαβυλὼν ἡ μεγάλη, καὶ ἐγένετο κατοικητήριον δαιμονίων καὶ φυλακὴ παντὸς πνεύματος ἀκαθάρτου καὶ φυλακὴ παντὸς ὀρνέου ἀκαθάρτου καὶ μεμισημένου·
3 διότι εκ του οίνου του θυμού της πορνείας αυτής έπιον πάντα τα έθνη, και οι βασιλείς της γης επόρνευσαν μετ' αυτής και οι έμποροι της γης επλούτησαν εκ της υπερβολής της εντρυφήσεως αυτής.
3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality, the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from the abundance of her luxury.”
3 ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ οἴνου τοῦ θυμοῦ τῆς πορνείας αὐτῆς πέπωκαν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς μετ᾽ αὐτῆς ἐπόρνευσαν, καὶ οἱ ἔμποροι τῆς γῆς ἐκ τῆς δυνάμεως τοῦ στρήνους αὐτῆς ἐπλούτησαν.
4 Και ήκουσα άλλην φωνήν εκ του ουρανού, λέγουσαν· Εξέλθετε εξ αυτής ο λαός μου, διά να μη συγκοινωνήσητε εις τας αμαρτίας αυτής, και να μη λάβητε εκ των πληγών αυτής·
4 I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you don’t receive of her plagues,
4 Καὶ ἤκουσα ἄλλην φωνὴν ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ λέγουσαν· ἔξελθε ἐξ αὐτῆς ὁ λαός μου, ἵνα μὴ συγκοινωνήσητε ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις αὐτῆς, καὶ ἵνα ἐκ τῶν πληγῶν αὐτῆς μὴ λάβητε·
5 διότι αι αμαρτίαι αυτής έφθασαν έως του ουρανού, και ενεθυμήθη ο Θεός τα αδικήματα αυτής.
5 for her sins have reached to the sky, and God has remembered her iniquities.
5 ὅτι ἐκολλήθησαν αὐτῆς αἱ ἁμαρτίαι ἄχρι τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἐμνημόνευσεν ὁ Θεὸς τὰ ἀδικήματα αὐτῆς.
6 Απόδοτε εις αυτήν ως και αυτή απέδωκεν εις εσάς, και διπλασιάσατε εις αυτήν διπλάσια κατά τα έργα αυτής· με το ποτήριον, με το οποίον εκέρασε, διπλάσιον κεράσατε εις αυτήν·
6 Return to her just as she returned, and repay her double as she did, and according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix to her double.
6 ἀπόδοτε αὐτῇ ὡς καὶ αὐτὴ ἀπέδωκε, καὶ διπλώσατε [αὐτῇ] διπλᾶ κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτῆς· ἐν τῷ ποτηρίῳ ᾧ ἐκέρασε, κεράσατε αὐτῇ διπλοῦν.
7 όσον εδόξασεν εαυτήν και κατετρύφησε, τόσον βασανισμόν και πένθος δότε εις αυτήν. Διότι λέγει εν τη καρδία αυτής, Κάθημαι βασίλισσα και χήρα δεν είμαι και πένθος δεν θέλω ιδεί,
7 However much she glorified herself and grew wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning. For she says in her heart, ‘I sit a queen, and am no widow, and will in no way see mourning.’
7 ὅσα ἐδόξασεν ἑαυτὴν καὶ ἐστρηνίασε, τοσοῦτον δότε αὐτῇ βασανισμὸν καὶ πένθος. ὅτι ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῆς λέγει, ὅτι κάθημαι [καθὼς] βασίλισσα καὶ χήρα οὐκ εἰμὶ καὶ πένθος οὐ μὴ ἴδω,
8 διά τούτο εν μιά ημέρα θέλουσιν ελθεί αι πληγαί αυτής, θάνατος και πένθος και πείνα, και θέλει κατακαυθή εν πυρί· διότι ισχυρός είναι Κύριος ο Θεός ο κρίνων αυτήν.
8 Therefore in one day her plagues will come: death, mourning, and famine; and she will be utterly burned with fire, for the Lord God who has judged her is strong.
8 διὰ τοῦτο ἐν μιᾷ ἡμέρᾳ ἥξουσιν αἱ πληγαὶ αὐτῆς, θάνατος καὶ πένθος καὶ λιμός, καὶ ἐν πυρὶ κατακαυθήσεται· ὅτι ἰσχυρὸς Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὁ κρίνας αὐτήν.
9 Και θέλουσι κλαύσει αυτήν και πενθήσει δι' αυτήν οι βασιλείς της γης, οι πορνεύσαντες και κατατρυφήσαντες μετ' αυτής, όταν βλέπωσι τον καπνόν της πυρπολήσεως αυτής,
9 The kings of the earth who committed sexual immorality and lived wantonly with her will weep and wail over her, when they look at the smoke of her burning,
9 καὶ κλαύσουσιν αὐτὴν καὶ κόψονται ἐπ᾽ αὐτῇ οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς οἱ μετ᾽ αὐτῆς πορνεύσαντες καὶ στρηνιάσαντες, ὅταν βλέπωσι τὸν καπνὸν τῆς πυρώσεως αὐτῆς,
10 από μακρόθεν ιστάμενοι διά τον φόβον του βασανισμού αυτής, λέγοντες· Ουαί, ουαί, η πόλις η μεγάλη, Βαβυλών, η πόλις η ισχυρά, διότι εν μιά ώρα ήλθεν η κρίσις σου.
10 standing far away for the fear of her torment, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For your judgment has come in one hour.’
10 ἀπὸ μακρόθεν ἑστηκότες διὰ τὸν φόβον τοῦ βασανισμοῦ αὐτῆς, λέγοντες· οὐαὶ οὐαί, ἡ πόλις ἡ μεγάλη Βαβυλών, ἡ πόλις ἡ ἰσχυρά, ὅτι μιᾷ ὥρᾳ ἦλθεν ἡ κρίσις σου.
11 Και οι έμποροι της γης κλαίουσι και πενθούσι δι' αυτήν, διότι ουδείς αγοράζει πλέον τας πραγματείας αυτών,
11 The merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise any more:
11 καὶ οἱ ἔμποροι τῆς γῆς κλαύσουσι καὶ πενθήσουσιν ἐπ᾽ αὐτῇ, ὅτι τὸν γόμον αὐτῶν οὐδεὶς ἀγοράζει οὐκέτι,
12 πραγματείας χρυσού και αργύρου και λίθων τιμίων και μαργαριτών και βύσσου και πορφύρας και μετάξης και κοκκίνου και παν ξύλον αρωματικόν και παν σκεύος ελεφάντινον και παν σκεύος εκ ξύλου πολυτίμου και χαλκού και σιδήρου και μαρμάρου,
12 merchandise of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple, silk, scarlet, all expensive wood, every vessel of ivory, every vessel made of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble;
12 γόμον χρυσοῦ καὶ ἀργύρου καὶ λίθου τιμίου καὶ μαργαρίτου, καὶ βυσσίνου καὶ πορφύρας καὶ σηρικοῦ καὶ κοκκίνου, καὶ πᾶν ξύλον θύϊνον καὶ πᾶν σκεῦος ἐλεφάντινον καὶ πᾶν σκεῦος ἐκ ξύλου τιμιωτάτου καὶ χαλκοῦ καὶ σιδήρου καὶ μαρμάρου,
13 και κινάμωμον και θυμιάματα και μύρον και λίβανον και οίνον και έλαιον και σεμίδαλιν και σίτον και κτήνη και πρόβατα και ίππους και αμάξας και ανδράποδα και ψυχάς ανθρώπων.
13 and cinnamon, incense, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, horses, chariots, and people’s bodies and souls.
13 καὶ κινάμωμον καὶ ἄμωμον καὶ θυμιάματα, καὶ μύρον καὶ λίβανον καὶ οἶνον καὶ ἔλαιον καὶ σεμίδαλιν καὶ σῖτον καὶ κτήνη καὶ πρόβατα, καὶ ἵππων καὶ ῥεδῶν καὶ σωμάτων, καὶ ψυχὰς ἀνθρώπων.
14 Και τα οπωρικά της επιθυμίας της ψυχής σου έφυγον από σου, και πάντα τα παχέα και τα λαμπρά έφυγον από σου, και πλέον δεν θέλεις ευρεί αυτά.
14 The fruits which your soul lusted after have been lost to you. All things that were dainty and sumptuous have perished from you, and you will find them no more at all.
14 καὶ ἡ ὀπώρα τῆς ἐπιθυμίας τῆς ψυχῆς σου ἀπώλετο ἀπὸ σοῦ, καὶ πάντα τὰ λιπαρὰ καὶ τὰ λαμπρὰ ἀπῆλθεν ἀπὸ σοῦ, καὶ οὐκέτι οὐ μὴ αὐτὰ εὑρήσεις.
15 Οι έμποροι τούτων, οι πλουτήσαντες απ' αυτής, θέλουσι σταθή από μακρόθεν διά τον φόβον του βασανισμού αυτής, κλαίοντες και πενθούντες,
15 The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, will stand far away for the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning,
15 οἱ ἔμποροι τούτων, οἱ πλουτήσαντες ἀπ᾽ αὐτῆς, ἀπὸ μακρόθεν στήσονται διὰ τὸν φόβον τοῦ βασανισμοῦ αὐτῆς κλαίοντες καὶ πενθοῦντες,
16 και λέγοντες· Ουαί, ουαί, η πόλις η μεγάλη· η ενδεδυμένη βύσσινον και πορφυρούν και κόκκινον και κεχρυσωμένη με χρυσόν και λίθους τιμίους και μαργαρίτας,
16 saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, she who was dressed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls!
16 λέγοντες· οὐαὶ οὐαί, ἡ πόλις ἡ μεγάλη, ἡ περιβεβλημένη βύσσινον καὶ πορφυροῦν καὶ κόκκινον καὶ κεχρυσωμένη ἐν χρυσίῳ καὶ λίθῳ τιμίῳ καὶ μαργαρίταις, ὅτι μιᾷ ὥρᾳ ἠρημώθη ὁ τοσοῦτος πλοῦτος.
17 διότι εν μιά ώρα ηρημώθη ο τοσούτος πλούτος. Και πας πλοίαρχος και παν το πλήθος το επί των πλοίων και ναύται και όσοι εμπορεύονται διά της θαλάσσης, εστάθησαν από μακρόθεν,
17 For in an hour such great riches are made desolate.’ Every ship master, and everyone who sails anywhere, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood far away,
17 καὶ πᾶς κυβερνήτης καὶ πᾶς ὁ ἐπὶ τόπον πλέων, καὶ ναῦται καὶ ὅσοι τὴν θάλασσαν ἐργάζονται, ἀπὸ μακρόθεν ἔστησαν,
18 και έκραζον βλέποντες τον καπνόν της πυρπολήσεως αυτής, λέγοντες· Ποία πόλις εστάθη ομοία με την πόλιν την μεγάλην;
18 and cried out as they looked at the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like the great city?’
18 καὶ ἔκραζον βλέποντες τὸν καπνὸν τῆς πυρώσεως αὐτῆς, λέγοντες· τίς ὁμοία τῇ πόλει τῇ μεγάλῃ;
19 Και έβαλον χώμα επί τας κεφαλάς αυτών και έκραζον κλαίοντες και πενθούντες, λέγοντες· Ουαί, ουαί, η πόλις η μεγάλη, εν ή επλούτησαν εκ της αφθονίας αυτής πάντες οι έχοντες πλοία εν τη θαλάσση· διότι εν μιά ώρα ηρημώθη.
19 They cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had their ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her great wealth!’ For she is made desolate in one hour.
19 καὶ ἔβαλον χοῦν ἐπὶ τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν καὶ ἔκραζον κλαίοντες καὶ πενθοῦντες, λέγοντες· οὐαὶ οὐαί, ἡ πόλις ἡ μεγάλη, ἐν ᾗ ἐπλούτησαν πάντες οἱ ἔχοντες τὰ πλοῖα ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ ἐκ τῆς τιμιότητος αὐτῆς· ὅτι μιᾷ ὥρᾳ ἠρημώθη.
20 Ευφραίνου επ' αυτήν, ουρανέ, και οι άγιοι απόστολοι και οι προφήται, διότι έκρινεν ο Θεός την κρίσιν σας εναντίον αυτής.
20 “Rejoice over her, O heaven, you saints, apostles, and prophets, for God has judged your judgment on her.”
20 Εὐφραίνου ἐπ᾽ αὐτῇ, οὐρανέ, καὶ οἱ ἅγιοι καὶ οἱ ἀπόστολοι καὶ οἱ προφῆται, ὅτι ἔκρινεν ὁ Θεὸς τὸ κρῖμα ὑμῶν ἐξ αὐτῆς.
21 Και εσήκωσεν εις άγγελος ισχυρός λίθον, ως μυλόπετραν μεγάλην, και έρριψεν εις την θάλασσαν, λέγων· Ούτω με ορμήν θέλει ριφθή η Βαβυλών η μεγάλη πόλις, και δεν θέλει ευρεθή πλέον.
21 A mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down, and will be found no more at all.
21 Καὶ ἦρεν εἷς ἄγγελος ἰσχυρὸς λίθον ὡς μύλον μέγαν καὶ ἔβαλεν εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν λέγων· οὕτως ὁρμήματι βληθήσεται Βαβυλὼν ἡ μεγάλη πόλις, καὶ οὐ μὴ εὑρεθῇ ἔτι.
22 Και φωνή κιθαρωδών και μουσικών και αυλητών και σαλπιστών δεν θέλει ακουσθή πλέον εν σοι, και πας τεχνίτης πάσης τέχνης δεν θέλει ευρεθή πλέον εν σοι, και φωνή μύλου δεν θέλει ακουσθή πλέον εν σοι,
22 The voice of harpists, minstrels, flute players, and trumpeters will be heard no more at all in you. No craftsman of whatever craft will be found any more at all in you. The sound of a mill will be heard no more at all in you.
22 καὶ φωνὴ κιθαρῳδῶν καὶ μουσικῶν καὶ αὐλητῶν καὶ σαλπιστῶν οὐ μὴ ἀκουσθῇ ἐν σοὶ ἔτι, καὶ πᾶς τεχνίτης πάσης τέχνης οὐ μὴ εὑρεθῇ ἐν σοὶ ἔτι, καὶ φωνὴ μύλου οὐ μὴ ἀκουσθῇ ἐν σοὶ ἔτι,
23 και φως λύχνου δεν θέλει φέγγει πλέον εν σοι, και φωνή νυμφίου και νύμφης δεν θέλει ακουσθή πλέον εν σοί· διότι οι έμποροί σου ήσαν οι μεγιστάνες της γης, διότι με την γοητείαν σου επλανήθησαν πάντα τα έθνη,
23 The light of a lamp will shine no more at all in you. The voice of the bridegroom and of the bride will be heard no more at all in you, for your merchants were the princes of the earth; for with your sorcery all the nations were deceived.
23 καὶ φῶς λύχνου οὐ μὴ φανῇ ἐν σοὶ ἔτι, καὶ φωνὴ νυμφίου καὶ νύμφης οὐ μὴ ἀκουσθῇ ἐν σοὶ ἔτι· ὅτι οἱ ἔμποροί σου ἦσαν οἱ μεγιστᾶνες τῆς γῆς, ὅτι ἐν τῇ φαρμακείᾳ σου ἐπλανήθησαν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη,
24 και εν αυτή ευρέθη αίμα προφητών και αγίων και πάντων των εσφαγμένων επί της γης.
24 In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth.”
24 καὶ ἐν αὐτῇ αἵματα προφητῶν καὶ ἁγίων εὑρέθη καὶ πάντων τῶν ἐσφαγμένων ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
