Book of Common Prayer

¹² And kai when hote he opened anoigō the ho sixth hektos seal sphragis, · ho I looked, and kai there was ginomai a great megas earthquake seismos; · kai the ho sun hēlios became ginomai as black melas as hōs sackcloth sakkos made of hair trichinos, · kai the ho entire holos moon selēnē became ginomai like hōs blood haima, ¹³ and kai the ho stars astēr of the ho sky ouranos fell piptō to eis the ho earth gē as hōs a fig tree sykē drops ballō · ho its autos winter fruit olynthos when shaken seiō by hypo a fierce megas wind anemos. ¹⁴ · kai The ho sky ouranos vanished apochōrizō like hōs a scroll biblion being rolled up helissō, and kai every pas mountain oros and kai island nēsos was removed kineō from ek · ho its autos place topos. ¹⁵ Then kai the ho kings basileus of the ho earth gē and kai the ho princes megistan and kai the ho generals chiliarchos and kai the ho rich plousios and kai the ho powerful ischuros and kai everyone pas—slave and kai free eleutheros— hid kryptō themselves heautou in eis the ho caves spēlaion and kai among eis the ho rocks petra of the ho mountains oros. ¹⁶ · kai They said legō to the ho mountains oros and kai the ho rocks petra, “ Fall piptō on epi us hēmeis and kai hide kryptō us hēmeis from apo the face prosōpon of the ho one who is seated kathēmai on epi the ho throne thronos and kai from apo the ho wrath orgē of the ho Lamb arnion, ¹⁷ because hoti the great megas day hēmera of ho their autos wrath orgē has come erchomai, · ho · ho and kai who tis is able dynamai to stand fast histēmi?”

7 After meta this houtos I saw four tessares angels angelos standing histēmi at epi the ho four tessares corners gōnia of the ho earth gē holding back krateō the ho four tessares winds anemos of the ho earth gē, so that hina no mē wind anemos could blow pneō on epi the ho earth gē or mēte on epi the ho sea thalassa or mēte against epi any pas tree dendron. ² Then kai I saw another allos angel angelos ascending anabainō from apo the rising anatolē of the sun hēlios, with echō the seal sphragis of the living zaō God theos. And kai he called out krazō in a loud megas voice phōnē to the ho four tessares angels angelos who hos had been given didōmi power to harm adikeō the ho earth gē and kai the ho sea thalassa, ³ saying legō, “ Do not mē harm adikeō the ho earth gē or mēte the ho sea thalassa or mēte the ho trees dendron until achri we have sealed sphragizō the ho servants of ho our hēmeis God theos on epi · ho their autos foreheads metōpon.”

⁴ And kai I heard akouō the ho number arithmos of those ho who were sealed sphragizō, one hundred hekaton forty-four tesserakonta tessares thousand chilias, sealed sphragizō from ek every pas tribe phylē of the sons hyios of Israel Israēl:

²⁴ Jesus put paratithēmi another allos parable parabolē before paratithēmi them autos, saying legō: “ The ho kingdom basileia of ho heaven ouranos is like homoioō a man anthrōpos sowing speirō good kalos seed sperma in en · ho his autos field agros. ²⁵ But de while en · ho everyone anthrōpos was sleeping katheudō, · ho his autos enemy echthros came erchomai · ho and kai sowed epispeirō weeds zizanion among ana mesos the ho wheat sitos and kai went aperchomai away . ²⁶ When hote · de the ho plants chortos came blastanō up and kai bore poieō grain karpos, then tote the ho weeds zizanion appeared phainō as kai well . ²⁷ And de the ho servants of the ho master oikodespotēs of the house came proserchomai and said legō to him autos, ‘ Sir kyrios, did you speirō not ouchi sow speirō good kalos seed sperma in en · ho your sos field agros? Why pothen then oun does it have echō weeds zizanion?’ ²⁸ And de he ho said phēmi to them autos, ‘An enemy echthros has done poieō this houtos!’ And de the ho servants said legō to him autos, ‘ So oun do you want thelō us to go aperchomai and gather syllegō them autos?’ ²⁹ But de he ho replied phēmi, ‘ No ou, lest mēpote in gathering syllegō the ho weeds zizanion you uproot ekrizoō the ho wheat sitos along hama with them autos. ³⁰ Let aphiēmi both amphoteroi grow synauxanō together until heōs the ho harvest therismos; and kai at en harvest therismos time kairos · ho I will tell legō the ho harvesters theristēs, “ First prōton gather syllegō the ho weeds zizanion and kai bind deō them autos into eis bundles desmē to pros · ho be burned katakaiō, then de gather synagō the ho wheat sitos into eis · ho my egō barn apothēkē.”’”
