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 ότε ήνοιξε την σφραγίδα την εβδόμην, έγεινε σιωπή εν τω ουρανώ, έως ημίσειαν ώραν.
1 When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
2 Και είδον τους επτά αγγέλους, οίτινες ίσταντο ενώπιον του Θεού, και εδόθησαν εις αυτούς επτά σάλπιγγες.
2 I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.
3 Και ήλθεν άλλος άγγελος και εστάθη έμπροσθεν του θυσιαστηρίου, κρατών θυμιατήριον χρυσούν, και εδόθησαν εις αυτόν θυμιάματα πολλά, διά να προσφέρη με τας προσευχάς πάντων των αγίων επί το θυσιαστήριον το χρυσούν το ενώπιον του θρόνου.
3 Another angel came and stood over the altar, having a golden censer. Much incense was given to him, that he should add it to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar which was before the throne.
4 Και ανέβη ο καπνός των θυμιαμάτων με τας προσευχάς πάντων των αγίων εκ της χειρός του αγγέλου ενώπιον του Θεού.
4 The smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel’s hand.
5 Και έλαβεν ο άγγελος το θυμιατήριον και εγέμισεν αυτό εκ του πυρός του θυσιαστηρίου και έρριψεν εις την γην. Και έγειναν φωναί και βρονταί και αστραπαί και σεισμός.
5 The angel took the censer, and he filled it with the fire of the altar, then threw it on the earth. Thunders, sounds, lightnings, and an earthquake followed.
6 Και οι επτά άγγελοι, οι έχοντες τας επτά σάλπιγγας, ητοίμασαν εαυτούς διά να σαλπίσωσι.
6 The seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
7 Και ο πρώτος άγγελος εσάλπισε, και έγεινε χάλαζα και πυρ μεμιγμένα με αίμα, και ερρίφθησαν εις την γήν· και το τρίτον των δένδρων κατεκάη και πας χλωρός χόρτος κατεκάη.
7 The first sounded, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. One third of the earth was burned up, and one third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.
8 Και ο δεύτερος άγγελος εσάλπισε, και ως όρος μέγα καιόμενον με πυρ ερρίφθη εις την θάλασσαν, και το τρίτον της θαλάσσης έγεινεν αίμα,
8 The second angel sounded, and something like a great burning mountain was thrown into the sea. One third of the sea became blood,
9 και απέθανε το τρίτον των εμψύχων κτισμάτων των εν τη θαλάσση και το τρίτον των πλοίων διεφθάρη.
9 and one third of the living creatures which were in the sea died. One third of the ships were destroyed.
10 Και ο τρίτος άγγελος εσάλπισε, και έπεσεν εκ του ουρανού αστήρ μέγας καιόμενος ως λαμπάς, και έπεσεν επί το τρίτον των ποταμών, και επί τας πηγάς των υδάτων·
10 The third angel sounded, and a great star fell from the sky, burning like a torch, and it fell on one third of the rivers, and on the springs of water.
11 και το όνομα του αστέρος λέγεται Αψινθος· και έγεινε το τρίτον των υδάτων άψινθος, και πολλοί άνθρωποι απέθανον εκ των υδάτων, διότι επικράνθησαν.
11 The name of the star is “Wormwood.” One third of the waters became wormwood. Many people died from the waters, because they were made bitter.
12 Και ο τέταρτος άγγελος εσάλπισε, και εκτυπήθη το τρίτον του ηλίου και το τρίτον της σελήνης και το τρίτον των αστέρων, διά να σκοτισθή το τρίτον αυτών, και η ημέρα να χάση το τρίτον του φωτισμού αυτής, και η νυξ ομοίως.
12 The fourth angel sounded, and one third of the sun was struck, and one third of the moon, and one third of the stars, so that one third of them would be darkened; and the day wouldn’t shine for one third of it, and the night in the same way.
13 Και είδον και ήκουσα ένα άγγελον πετώμενον εις το μεσουράνημα, όστις έλεγε μετά φωνής μεγάλης· Ουαί, ουαί, ουαί εις τους κατοικούντας επί της γης διά τας λοιπάς φωνάς της σάλπιγγος των τριών αγγέλων των μελλόντων να σαλπίσωσι.
13 I saw, and I heard an eagle, flying in mid heaven, saying with a loud voice, “Woe! Woe! Woe to those who dwell on the earth, because of the other blasts of the trumpets of the three angels, who are yet to sound!”
