14 Then kai I looked, and kai behold idou, I saw a ho Lamb arnion standing histēmi on epi · ho Mount oros Zion Siōn; and kai with meta him autos were one hundred hekaton and forty-four tesserakonta tessares thousand chilias who had echō · ho his autos name onoma and kai · ho his autos Father’ s patēr name onoma · ho written graphō on epi · ho their autos foreheads metōpon. ² And kai I heard akouō a sound phōnē from ek · ho heaven ouranos like hōs the roar phōnē of many polys waters hydōr and kai like hōs the sound phōnē of loud megas thunder brontē. · kai The ho sound phōnē I heard akouō was like hōs the sound of harpists kitharōidos playing kitharizō on en · ho their autos harps kithara, ³ and kai they were singing adō a new kainos song ōdē before enōpion the ho throne thronos and kai before enōpion the ho four tessares living creatures zōon and kai the ho elders presbyteros. · kai No one oudeis was able dynamai to learn manthanō the ho song ōdē except ei mē the ho one hundred hekaton and forty-four tesserakonta tessares thousand chilias who ho had been redeemed agorazō from apo the ho earth gē. ⁴ These houtos are eimi the hos ones who have molynō not ou been defiled molynō with meta women gynē, for gar they are eimi virgins parthenos. These houtos are the ho ones who follow akoloutheō the ho Lamb arnion wherever hopou an he goes hypagō. These houtos were redeemed agorazō from apo the ho human anthrōpos race as firstfruits aparchē for ho God theos and kai for the ho Lamb arnion, ⁵ and kai in en · ho their autos mouth stoma no ou lie pseudos was found heuriskō; they are eimi blameless.

⁶ Then kai I saw another allos angel angelos flying petomai directly en overhead mesouranēma, with echō an eternal aiōnios gospel euangelion to proclaim euangelizō to epi those ho who live kathēmai on epi the ho earth gē— · kai to epi every pas nation ethnos, · kai tribe phylē, · kai language glōssa, and kai people laos. ⁷ And he said legō with en a loud megas voice phōnē, “ Fear phobeomai · ho God theos and kai give didōmi him autos glory doxa, because hoti the ho hour hōra of ho his autos judgment krisis has come erchomai, and kai worship proskyneō him ho who made poieō · ho heaven ouranos and kai · ho earth gē, · kai the sea thalassa and kai the springs pēgē of water hydōr.”

⁸ Then kai another allos angel angelos, a second deuteros, followed akoloutheō, saying legō, “ Fallen piptō, fallen piptō is Babylon Babylōn the ho great megas!— she potizō who hos has made potizō all pas nations ethnos drink potizō of ek the ho wine oinos of ho her autos passionate thumos · ho immorality porneia.” · ho

⁹ Then kai another allos angel angelos, a third tritos, followed akoloutheō them autos, declaring legō in en a loud megas voice phōnē, “ If ei anyone tis worships proskyneō the ho beast thērion and kai · ho his autos image eikōn, and kai receives lambanō a mark charagma on epi · ho his autos forehead metōpon or ē on epi · ho his autos hand cheir, ¹⁰ he autos also kai will drink pinō of ek the ho wine oinos of ho God’ s theos wrath thumos, · ho · ho poured kerannymi full strength akratos into en the ho cup potērion of ho his autos wrath orgē, and kai he will be tormented basanizō with en fire pyr and kai sulfur theion in the presence enōpion of the holy hagios angels angelos and kai in the presence enōpion of the ho Lamb arnion. ¹¹ And kai the ho smoke kapnos from ho their autos torture basanismos will go up anabainō forever eis aiōn and ever aiōn, and kai those ho who worship proskyneō the ho beast thērion and kai his autos image eikōn will have echō no ou relief anapausis day hēmera or kai night nyx, · ho along with kai anyone tis who receives lambanō the ho mark charagma of ho his autos name onoma.”

¹² This hōde calls for eimi · ho endurance hypomonē on the part of ho the saints hagios, those ho who keep tēreō the ho commandments entolē of ho God theos and kai hold fast to their ho faith pistis in Jesus Iēsous.

¹³ And kai I heard akouō a voice phōnē from ek · ho heaven ouranos saying legō, “ Write graphō this: Blessed makarios are the ho dead nekros who ho die apothnēskō in en the Lord kyrios from apo now arti on.” “ Yes nai indeed!” says legō the ho Spirit pneuma, “ so hina they can rest anapauō from ek · ho their autos labors kopos, · ho because gar their autos deeds ergon will follow akoloutheō them autos!”

14 About en that ekeinos · ho time kairos Herod hērōdēs the ho tetrarch tetraarchēs heard akouō the ho report akoē about Jesus Iēsous. ² And kai he said legō to ho his autos servants pais, “ This houtos is eimi John Iōannēs the ho Baptist baptistēs; he autos has risen egeirō from apo the ho dead nekros; and kai that is why dia · ho miraculous dynamis powers are at work energeō in en him autos.” ³ · ho For gar Herod hērōdēs had arrested krateō · ho John Iōannēs, bound deō him autos, and kai put him apotithēmi in en prison phylakē because dia of Herodias hērōidias, the ho wife gynē of ho his autos brother adelphos Philip Philippos; ⁴ because gar John Iōannēs had been telling legō · ho him autos, “It is not ou lawful for you sy to have echō her autos.” ⁵ And kai though Herod wanted thelō to put him autos to death apokteinō, he feared phobeomai the ho people ochlos because hoti they considered echō him autos to be hōs a prophet prophētēs.

⁶ But de when Herod’ s hērōdēs birthday genesia came ginomai, · ho the ho daughter thugatēr of ho Herodias hērōidias danced orcheomai before en · ho them mesos and kai pleased areskō · ho Herod hērōdēs. ⁷ So hothen he promised homologeō with meta an oath horkos to give didōmi her autos whatever hos ean she asked aiteō. ⁸ · ho · de Prompted probibazō by hypo · ho her autos mother mētēr, she said phēmi, “ Give didōmi me egō the ho head kephalē of John Iōannēs the ho Baptist baptistēs here hōde on epi a platter pinax.” ⁹ And kai although the ho king basileus was distressed lypeō, because dia of his ho oaths horkos and kai his ho dinner synanakeimai guests , he commanded keleuō it to be given didōmi to her. ¹⁰ So kai he sent pempō and had John Iōannēs beheaded apokephalizō · ho in en the ho prison phylakē. ¹¹ And kai his autos head kephalē was brought pherō · ho on epi a platter pinax and kai given didōmi to the ho girl korasion, and kai she brought pherō it to ho her autos mother mētēr. ¹² · kai John’ s autos disciples mathētēs came proserchomai · ho and took airō the ho corpse ptōma and kai buried thaptō it autos; then kai they went erchomai and told apangellō · ho Jesus Iēsous.
