Beginning

4 After meta this houtos I looked, and kai behold idou, a door thura standing open anoigō in en · ho heaven ouranos! And kai the ho first prōtos voice phōnē, · ho which hos I had heard akouō speaking laleō to meta me egō like hōs a trumpet salpinx, said legō, “ Come up anabainō here hōde, and kai I will show deiknymi you sy what hos must dei take place ginomai after meta this houtos.” ² Immediately eutheōs I was ginomai in en the spirit pneuma, and kai behold idou, a throne thronos was standing keimai in en · ho heaven ouranos and kai one sitting kathēmai on epi the ho throne thronos! ³ And kai the ho one sitting kathēmai there had homoios the appearance horasis of a precious gem lithos— jasper iaspis or kai carnelian sardion— and kai a rainbow iris encircled kyklothen the ho throne thronos, in appearance horasis like homoios an emerald smaragdinos. ⁴ · kai Around kyklothen the ho throne thronos were twenty-four eikosi thrones thronos, and kai seated kathēmai on epi those ho thrones thronos were twenty-four eikosi tessares elders presbyteros, clothed periballō in en white leukos garments himation, and kai upon epi · ho their autos heads kephalē were crowns stephanos of gold chrysous. ⁵ · kai Out from ek the ho throne thronos came ekporeuomai flashes of lightning astrapē, · kai rumblings phōnē, and kai peals of thunder brontē. · kai Seven hepta torches lampas of fire pyr, which hos are eimi the ho seven hepta spirits pneuma of ho God theos, were burning kaiō before enōpion the ho throne thronos, ⁶ and kai before enōpion the ho throne thronos there was as it were hōs a sea thalassa of glass hyalinos, like homoios crystal krystallos; and kai around en mesos the ho throne thronos, · kai close by kyklōi the ho throne thronos, were four tessares living zōon creatures full gemō of eyes ophthalmos in front emprosthen and kai in back opisthen. ⁷ · kai The ho first prōtos living creature zōon · ho was like homoios a lion leōn, · kai the ho second deuteros living creature zōon like homoios an ox moschos, · kai the ho third tritos living creature zōon had echō a ho face prosōpon like hōs a man’ s anthrōpos, and kai the ho fourth tetartos living creature zōon was like homoios a flying petomai eagle aetos. ⁸ And kai the ho four tessares living creatures zōon, each ana of them autos with echō six hex wings pteryx, were full gemō of eyes ophthalmos around kyklothen and kai within esōthen. And kai day hēmera or kai night nyx they echō never ou rest anapausis, saying legō: “ Holy hagios, holy hagios, holy hagios, Lord kyrios · ho God theos · ho Almighty pantokratōr, who ho was eimi, and kai who ho is eimi, and kai who ho is to come erchomai!” ⁹ And kai whenever hotan the ho living creatures zōon give didōmi glory doxa and kai honor timē and kai thanks eucharistia to the ho one who is seated kathēmai on epi the ho throne thronos, to the ho one who lives zaō for eis all ho time aiōn ho, · ho ¹⁰ the ho twenty-four eikosi elders presbyteros fall down piptō before enōpion the ho one who is seated kathēmai on epi the ho throne thronos and kai worship proskyneō the ho one who lives zaō for eis all ho time aiōn ho. · ho · kai They cast ballō · ho their autos crowns stephanos before enōpion the ho throne thronos, saying legō, ¹¹ “ Worthy axios are you eimi, · ho our hēmeis Lord kyrios and kai · ho God theos, to receive lambanō · ho glory doxa and kai · ho honor timē and kai · ho power dynamis, for hoti you sy created ktizō · ho all things pas, and kai because dia of · ho your sy will thelēma they existed eimi and kai were created ktizō.”

5 Then kai I saw in epi the ho right hand dexios of the ho one who was seated kathēmai on epi the ho throne thronos a scroll biblion written graphō inside esōthen and kai on the back opisthen, sealed katasphragizō with seven hepta seals sphragis. ² And kai I saw a powerful ischuros angel angelos proclaiming kēryssō in en a loud megas voice phōnē, “ Who tis is worthy axios to open anoigō the ho scroll biblion and kai break lyō · ho its autos seals sphragis?” ³ But kai no one oudeis in en · ho heaven ouranos or oude on epi · ho earth gē or oude under hypokatō the ho earth gē was able dynamai to open anoigō the ho scroll biblion or oute look blepō into it autos. ⁴ So kai I began to weep klaiō bitterly polys because hoti no one oudeis was found heuriskō worthy axios to open anoigō the ho scroll biblion or oute to look blepō into it autos. ⁵ Then kai one heis of ek the ho elders presbyteros said legō to me egō, “ Stop mē weeping klaiō! Look idou, the ho Lion leōn · ho of ek the ho tribe phylē of Judah Ioudas, the ho root rhiza of David Dauid, has won the victory nikaō so that he can open anoigō the ho scroll biblion and kai · ho its autos seven hepta seals sphragis.” ⁶ And kai I saw standing histēmi there, between en mesos the ho throne thronos and kai the ho four tessares living creatures zōon and kai among en mesos the ho elders presbyteros, a Lamb arnion that appeared hōs to have been killed sphazō, having echō seven hepta horns keras and kai seven hepta eyes ophthalmos, which hos are eimi the ho seven hepta spirits pneuma of ho God theos sent out apostellō into eis all pas the ho earth gē. ⁷ And kai he went erchomai and kai took lambanō the scroll from ek the ho right hand dexios of the ho one who was seated kathēmai on epi the ho throne thronos. ⁸ And kai when hote he had taken lambanō the ho scroll biblion, the ho four tessares living creatures zōon and kai the ho twenty-four eikosi tessares elders presbyteros fell down piptō before enōpion the ho Lamb arnion, each hekastos holding echō a harp kithara and kai golden chrysous bowls phialē full gemō of incense thumiama, which hos are eimi the ho prayers proseuchē of the ho saints hagios. ⁹ And kai they sang adō a new kainos song ōdē, saying legō, “ Worthy axios are you eimi to take lambanō the ho scroll biblion and kai to open anoigō · ho its autos seals sphragis, for hoti you were slain sphazō, and kai by en your sy blood haima you ransomed agorazō people for ho God theos · ho from ek every pas tribe phylē, · kai language glōssa, · kai people laos, and kai nation ethnos. ¹⁰ And kai you have made poieō them autos a kingdom basileia and kai priests hiereus to ho our hēmeis God theos, and kai they will reign basileuō on epi the ho earth gē.”

¹¹ Then kai I looked, and kai I heard akouō the voice phōnē of many polys angels angelos surrounding kyklōi the ho throne thronos and kai the ho living creatures zōon and kai the ho elders presbyteros; and kai their autos number arithmos was eimi · ho ten thousand myrias times ten thousand myrias and kai thousands chilias of thousands chilias, ¹² saying legō with a loud megas voice phōnē, “ Worthy axios is eimi the ho Lamb arnion who ho was slain sphazō, to receive lambanō · ho power dynamis and kai wealth ploutos and kai wisdom sophia and kai might ischus and kai honor timē and kai glory doxa and kai praise eulogia!” ¹³ Then kai I heard akouō every pas creature ktisma in en · ho heaven ouranos and kai on epi · ho earth gē and kai under hypokatō the ho earth gē and kai in epi the ho sea thalassa, and kai · ho all pas that is in en them autos, saying legō, “ To the ho one seated kathēmai on epi the ho throne thronos and kai to the ho Lamb arnion be · ho praise eulogia and kai · ho honor timē and kai · ho glory doxa and kai · ho might kratos for eis all ho time aiōn ho! · ho ¹⁴ And kai the ho four tessares living creatures zōon said legō, “ Amen amēn!” And kai the ho elders presbyteros fell down piptō and kai worshiped proskyneō.

6 Then kai I watched as hote the ho Lamb arnion opened anoigō one heis of ek the ho seven hepta seals sphragis, and kai I heard akouō one heis of ek the ho four tessares living creatures zōon say legō with phōnē a voice phōnē like hōs thunder brontē, “ Come erchomai!” ² · kai I looked, and kai behold idou, a white leukos horse hippos! And kai the ho one seated kathēmai on epi it autos had echō a bow toxon; and kai there was given didōmi to him autos a crown stephanos, and kai he went exerchomai out conquering nikaō and kai to hina conquer nikaō.

³ And kai when hote he opened anoigō the ho second deuteros seal sphragis, · ho I heard akouō the ho second deuteros living creature zōon saying legō, “ Come erchomai!” ⁴ And kai out came exerchomai another allos horse hippos, bright red pyrros; and kai · ho its autos rider kathēmai was allowed didōmi to take lambanō · ho peace eirēnē from ek the ho earth gē · kai so that hina men should slay sphazō one another allēlōn, and kai a great megas sword machaira was given didōmi to him autos.

⁵ And kai when hote he opened anoigō the ho third tritos seal sphragis, · ho I heard akouō the ho third tritos living creature zōon saying legō, “ Come erchomai!” And kai I looked, and kai behold idou, a black melas horse hippos! And kai · ho its autos rider kathēmai had echō a pair of scales zygos in en · ho his autos hand cheir. ⁶ And kai I heard akouō what seemed to be hōs a voice phōnē in en the midst mesos of the ho four tessares living creatures zōon, saying legō, “A quart choinix of wheat sitos for a denarius dēnarion, and kai three treis quarts choinix of barley krithē for a denarius dēnarion, but kai do adikeō not mē harm adikeō the ho oil elaion and kai the ho wine oinos!”

⁷ And kai when hote he opened anoigō the ho fourth tetartos seal sphragis, · ho I heard akouō the voice phōnē of the ho fourth tetartos living creature zōon saying legō, “ Come erchomai!” ⁸ And kai I looked, and kai behold idou, a pale chlōros horse hippos! And kai · ho its autos rider’ s kathēmai name onoma was · ho Death thanatos, and kai · ho Hades hadēs was following akoloutheō with meta him autos. And kai authority exousia was given didōmi to them autos over epi a ho fourth tetartos of the ho earth gē, to kill apokteinō with en sword rhomphaia and kai with en famine limos and kai with en pestilence thanatos and kai by hypo · ho wild beasts thērion of the ho earth gē.

⁹ And kai when hote he opened anoigō the ho fifth pemptos seal sphragis, I saw under hypokatō the ho altar thusiastērion the ho souls psychē of those ho who had been slain sphazō for dia the ho word logos of ho God theos and kai for dia the ho witness martyria they had borne echō. ¹⁰ And kai they cried out krazō with a loud megas voice phōnē, saying legō, “ How heōs long pote, O ho Sovereign Lord despotēs, · ho holy hagios and kai true alēthinos, before ou you bring judgment krinō and kai avenge ekdikeō · ho our hēmeis blood haima on ek those ho who dwell katoikeō on epi the ho earth gē?” ¹¹ Then kai a white leukos robe stolē was given didōmi to each hekastos of them autos and kai they autos were told legō to hina rest anapauō a little mikros while chronos, until heōs the number was reached plēroō · kai · ho of their autos fellow servants syndoulos and kai · ho their autos brothers adelphos who ho were mellō to be killed apokteinō just kai as hōs they autos had been.

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: ⁵ from ek the tribe phylē of Judah Ioudas twelve dōdeka thousand chilias sealed sphragizō, from ek the tribe phylē of Reuben Rhoubēn twelve dōdeka thousand chilias, from ek the tribe phylē of Gad Gad twelve dōdeka thousand chilias, ⁶ from ek the tribe phylē of Asher Asēr twelve dōdeka thousand chilias, from ek the tribe phylē of Naphtali Nephthalim twelve dōdeka thousand chilias, from ek the tribe phylē of Manasseh Manassēs twelve dōdeka thousand chilias, ⁷ from ek the tribe phylē of Simeon Symeōn twelve dōdeka thousand chilias, from ek the tribe phylē of Levi Leui twelve dōdeka thousand chilias, from ek the tribe phylē of Issachar Issachar twelve dōdeka thousand chilias, ⁸ from ek the tribe phylē of Zebulun Zaboulōn twelve dōdeka thousand chilias, from ek the tribe phylē of Joseph Iōsēph twelve dōdeka thousand chilias, from ek the tribe phylē of Benjamin Beniamin twelve dōdeka thousand chilias sealed sphragizō. ⁹ After meta this houtos I looked, and kai behold idou, a vast polys multitude ochlos that hos no one oudeis could dynamai count arithmeō, people from ek every pas nation ethnos, · kai tribe phylē, · kai cultural group laos, and kai language glōssa, standing histēmi before enōpion the ho throne thronos and kai before enōpion the ho Lamb arnion, dressed periballō in white leukos robes stolē, with kai palm branches phoinix in en · ho their autos hands cheir, ¹⁰ and kai they cried out krazō in a loud megas voice phōnē, saying legō, · ho “ Salvation sōtēria belongs to ho our hēmeis God theos who ho is seated kathēmai on epi the ho throne thronos and kai to the ho Lamb arnion!” ¹¹ And kai all pas the ho angels angelos were standing histēmi around kyklōi the ho throne thronos and kai around the ho elders presbyteros and kai the ho four tessares living creatures zōon, and kai they fell piptō on epi their autos faces prosōpon before enōpion the ho throne thronos · ho and kai worshiped proskyneō · ho God theos, ¹² saying legō, “ Amen amēn! · ho Praise eulogia and kai · ho glory doxa and kai · ho wisdom sophia and kai · ho thanksgiving eucharistia and kai · ho honor timē and kai · ho power dynamis and kai · ho might ischus be to ho our hēmeis God theos for eis all ho time aiōn ho! · ho Amen amēn.”

¹³ Then kai one heis of ek the ho elders presbyteros addressed apokrinomai me egō, saying legō, “ These houtos · ho dressed periballō in · ho white leukos robes stolē · ho— who tis are they eimi and kai where pothen did they come erchomai from?” ¹⁴ · kai I said legō to him autos, “ My egō lord kyrios, you sy are the one who knows oida.” Then kai he said legō to me egō, “ These houtos are eimi the ho ones who have come erchomai out of ek the ho great megas tribulation thlipsis; · ho · kai they have washed plynō · ho their autos robes stolē and kai made them autos white leukainō in en the ho blood haima of the ho Lamb arnion. ¹⁵ For dia this houtos reason they are eimi before enōpion the ho throne thronos of ho God theos, and kai serve latreuō him autos day hēmera and kai night nyx in en · ho his autos temple naos, and kai the ho one seated kathēmai on epi the ho throne thronos will be a shelter skēnoō over epi them autos. ¹⁶ No ou longer eti will they go hungry peinaō, neither oude will they thirst dipsaō again eti; the ho sun hēlios will not mē beat down piptō upon epi them autos, nor oude any pas scorching heat kauma; ¹⁷ for hoti the ho Lamb arnion at the ho center ana mesos of the ho throne thronos will shepherd poimainō them autos and kai guide hodēgeō them autos to epi springs pēgē of living zōē water hydōr, and kai God theos will wipe away exaleiphō · ho every pas tear dakryon from ek · ho their autos eyes ophthalmos.”

8 · kai When hotan the Lamb opened anoigō the ho seventh hebdomos seal sphragis, · ho there was ginomai silence sigē in en · ho heaven ouranos for about hōs half an hour hēmiōrion. ² Then kai I saw the ho seven hepta angels angelos who hos stand histēmi before enōpion · ho God theos, and kai to them autos were given didōmi seven hepta trumpets salpinx. ³ And kai another allos angel angelos came erchomai and kai stood histēmi at epi the ho altar thusiastērion, holding echō a golden chrysous censer libanōtos. · kai To him autos was given didōmi a large quantity polys of incense thumiama to hina offer up didōmi, with the ho prayers proseuchē of all pas the ho saints hagios, on epi the ho golden chrysous altar thusiastērion · ho that ho is before enōpion the ho throne thronos. ⁴ And kai the ho smoke kapnos of the ho incense thumiama, with the ho prayers proseuchē of the ho saints hagios, rose anabainō before enōpion God theos from ek the hand cheir of the ho angel angelos. · ho ⁵ Then kai the ho angel angelos took lambanō the ho censer libanōtos and kai filled gemizō it autos with ek · ho fire pyr from the ho altar thusiastērion and kai threw ballō it down on eis the ho earth gē, and kai there were ginomai peals of thunder brontē, · kai rumblings phōnē, · kai flashes of lightning astrapē, and kai an earthquake seismos.

⁶ And kai the ho seven hepta angels angelos who ho had echō the ho seven hepta trumpets salpinx made hetoimazō themselves autos ready to hina blow salpizō them. ⁷ · kai The ho first prōtos angel blew salpizō his trumpet , and kai there followed ginomai hail chalaza and kai fire pyr, mixed mignymi with en blood haima, and kai it was thrown down ballō on eis the ho earth gē, and kai a ho third tritos of the ho earth gē was burned up katakaiō, and kai a ho third tritos of the ho trees dendron were burned up katakaiō, and kai all pas the green chlōros grass chortos was burned up katakaiō.

⁸ · kai The ho second deuteros angel angelos blew his trumpet salpizō, and kai something like hōs a great megas mountain oros, burning kaiō with fire pyr, was thrown down ballō into eis the ho sea thalassa, and kai a ho third tritos of the ho sea thalassa turned into ginomai blood haima, ⁹ · kai a ho third tritos of the ho living echō creatures ktisma · ho in en the ho sea thalassa · ho died apothnēskō, and kai a ho third tritos of the ho ships ploion were destroyed diaphtheirō.

¹⁰ · kai The ho third tritos angel angelos blew his trumpet salpizō, and kai there fell piptō from ek · ho heaven ouranos a great megas star astēr, blazing kaiō like hōs a torch lampas, and kai it fell piptō on epi a ho third tritos of the ho rivers potamos and kai on epi the ho springs pēgē of ho water hydōr. ¹¹ · kai The ho name onoma of the ho star astēr is legō · ho Wormwood apsinthos. · kai A ho third tritos of the ho waters hydōr became ginomai wormwood apsinthos, and kai many polys · ho people anthrōpos died apothnēskō from ek the ho waters hydōr because hoti they had been made bitter pikrainō.

¹² · kai The ho fourth tetartos angel angelos blew his trumpet salpizō, and kai a ho third tritos of the ho sun hēlios was struck plēssō, and kai a ho third tritos of the ho moon selēnē, and kai a ho third tritos of the ho stars astēr, so that hina a ho third tritos of them autos were darkened; · kai for a ho third tritos of the ho day hēmera there was no mē light phainō, and kai for a third of the ho night nyx as well homoiōs.
