Notes on this text (2)
- The Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew, not from the Septuagint read in the Orthodox Church; there are no deuterocanonical books.
- Katharevousa (learned 19th-century Greek), as in the CrossWire module (text from theword.gr).
1 Και είδον, ότε ήνοιξε το Αρνίον μίαν εκ των σφραγίδων, και ήκουσα εν εκ των τεσσάρων ζώων λέγον ως φωνήν βροντής· Έρχου και βλέπε.
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 είδον, και ιδού, ίππος λευκός· και ο καθήμενος επ' αυτόν είχε τόξον· και εδόθη εις αυτόν στέφανος, και εξήλθε νικών και διά να νικήση.
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 ότε ήνοιξε την δευτέραν σφραγίδα, ήκουσα το δεύτερον ζώον λέγον· Έρχου και βλέπε.
3 When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come!”
4 Και εξήλθεν άλλος ίππος κόκκινος, και εις τον καθήμενον επ' αυτόν εδόθη να σηκώση την ειρήνην από της γης, και να σφάξωσιν αλλήλους, και εδόθη εις αυτόν μάχαιρα μεγάλη.
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 ότε ήνοιξε την τρίτην σφραγίδα, ήκουσα το τρίτον ζώον λέγον· Έρχου και βλέπε. Και είδον, και ιδού, ίππος μέλας, και ο καθήμενος επ' αυτόν είχε ζυγαρίαν εν τη χειρί αυτού.
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 ήκουσα φωνήν εν μέσω των τεσσάρων ζώων λέγουσαν· Μία χοίνιξ σίτου δι' εν δηνάριον και τρεις χοίνικες κριθής δι' εν δηνάριον, και το έλαιον και τον οίνον μη βλάψης.
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 ότε ήνοιξε την σφραγίδα την τετάρτην, ήκουσα φωνήν του τετάρτου ζώου λέγουσαν· Έρχου και βλέπε.
7 When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see!”
8 Και είδον, και ιδού, ίππος ωχρός, και ο καθήμενος επάνω αυτού ωνομάζετο θάνατος, και ο Άδης ηκολούθει μετ' αυτού· και εδόθη εις αυτούς εξουσία επί το τέταρτον της γης, να θανατώσωσι με ρομφαίαν και με πείναν και με θάνατον και με τα θηρία 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 ότε ήνοιξε την πέμπτην σφραγίδα, είδον υποκάτω του θυσιαστηρίου τας ψυχάς των εσφαγμένων διά τον λόγον του Θεού και διά την μαρτυρίαν, την οποίαν είχον.
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 έκραξαν μετά φωνής μεγάλης, λέγοντες· Έως πότε, ω Δέσποτα άγιε και αληθινέ, δεν κρίνεις και εκδικείς το αίμα ημών από των κατοικούντων επί 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 εδόθησαν εις έκαστον στολαί λευκαί, και ερρέθη προς αυτούς να αναπαυθώσιν έτι ολίγον καιρόν, εωσού συμπληρωθώσι και οι σύνδουλοι αυτών και οι αδελφοί αυτών οι μέλλοντες να φονευθώσιν ως και αυτοί.
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 είδον, ότε ήνοιξε την σφραγίδα την έκτην, και ιδού, έγεινε σεισμός μέγας, και ο ήλιος έγεινε μέλας ως σάκκος τρίχινος και η σελήνη έγεινεν ως αίμα,
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 αστέρες του ουρανού έπεσαν εις την γην, καθώς η συκή ρίπτει τα άωρα σύκα αυτής, σειομένη υπό μεγάλου ανέμου,
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 ουρανός απεχωρίσθη ως βιβλίον τυλιγμένον, και παν όρος και νήσος εκινήθησαν εκ των τόπων αυτών·
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 βασιλείς της γης και οι μεγιστάνες και οι πλούσιοι και οι χιλίαρχοι και οι δυνατοί και πας δούλος και πας ελεύθερος έκρυψαν εαυτούς εις τα σπήλαια και εις τας πέτρας των ορέων,
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 λέγουσι προς τα όρη και προς τας πέτρας· Πέσατε εφ' ημάς και κρύψατε ημάς από προσώπου του καθημένου επί του θρόνου και από της οργής του Αρνίου,
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 διότι ήλθεν η ημέρα η μεγάλη της οργής αυτού, και τις δύναται να σταθή;
17 for the great day of his wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”
