Apocalisse - Revelation 1

GREEK BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Αποκαλυψις Ιησου Χριστου, την οποιαν εδωκεν εις αυτον ο Θεος, δια να δειξη εις τους δουλους αυτου οσα πρεπει να γεινωσι ταχεως, και εφανερωσεν αυτα αποστειλας δια του αγγελου αυτου εις τον δουλον αυτου Ιωαννην,	1 The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to show his servants what must happen soon. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John,
2 οστις εμαρτυρησε τον λογον του Θεου και την μαρτυριαν του Ιησου Χριστου και οσα ειδε.	2 who gives witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ by reporting what he saw.
3 Μακαριος ο αναγινωσκων και οι ακουοντες τους λογους της προφητειας και φυλαττοντες τα γεγραμμενα εν αυτη? διοτι ο καιρος ειναι πλησιον.	3 Blessed is the one who reads aloud and blessed are those who listen to this prophetic message and heed what is written in it, for the appointed time is near.
4 Ο Ιωαννης προς τας επτα εκκλησιας τας εν τη Ασια? χαρις υμιν και ειρηνη απο του ο ων και ο ην και ο ερχομενος? και απο των επτα πνευματων, τα οποια ειναι ενωπιον του θρονου αυτου,	4 John, to the seven churches in Asia: grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits before his throne,
5 και απο του Ιησου Χριστου, οστις ειναι ο μαρτυς ο πιστος, ο πρωτοτοκος εκ των νεκρων και ο αρχων των βασιλεων της γης. Εις τον αγαπησαντα ημας και λουσαντα ημας απο των αμαρτιων ημων με το αιμα αυτου,	5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead and ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood,
6 και οστις εκαμεν ημας βασιλεις και ιερεις εις τον Θεον και Πατερα αυτου, εις αυτον ειη η δοξα και το κρατος εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων? αμην.	6 who has made us into a kingdom, priests for his God and Father, to him be glory and power forever (and ever). Amen.
7 Ιδου, ερχεται μετα των νεφελων, και θελει ιδει αυτον πας οφθαλμος και εκεινοι οιτινες εξεκεντησαν αυτον, και θελουσι θρηνησει επ' αυτον πασαι αι φυλαι της γης. Ναι, αμην.	7 Behold, he is coming amid the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him. All the peoples of the earth will lament him. Yes. Amen.
8 Εγω ειμαι το Α και το Ω, αρχη και τελος, λεγει ο Κυριος, ο ων και ο ην και ο ερχομενος, ο παντοκρατωρ.	8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "the one who is and who was and who is to come, the almighty."
9 Εγω ο Ιωαννης, ο και αδελφος σας και συγκοινωνος εις την θλιψιν και εις την βασιλειαν και την υπομονην του Ιησου Χριστου, ημην εν τη νησω τη καλουμενη Πατμω δια τον λογον του Θεου και δια την μαρτυριαν του Ιησου Χριστου.	9 I, John, your brother, who share with you the distress, the kingdom, and the endurance we have in Jesus, found myself on the island called Patmos because I proclaimed God's word and gave testimony to Jesus.
10 Κατα την κυριακην ημεραν ηλθον εις εκστασιν πνευματικην, και ηκουσα οπισω μου φωνην μεγαλην ως σαλπιγγος,	10 I was caught up in spirit on the Lord's day and heard behind me a voice as loud as a trumpet,
11 ητις ελεγεν? Εγω ειμαι το Α και το Ω, ο πρωτος και ο εσχατος? και, Ο, τι βλεπεις, γραψον εις βιβλιον και πεμψον εις τας επτα εκκλησιας, τας εν τη Ασια, εις Εφεσον και εις Σμυρνην και εις Περγαμον και εις Θυατειρα και εις Σαρδεις και εις Φιλαδελφειαν και εις Λαοδικειαν.	11 which said, "Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea."
12 Και εστραφην να ιδω την φωνην, ητις ελαλησε μετ' εμου? και στραφεις ειδον επτα λυχνιας χρυσας,	12 Then I turned to see whose voice it was that spoke to me, and when I turned, I saw seven gold lampstands
13 και εν μεσω των επτα λυχνιων ειδον ενα ομοιον με υιον ανθρωπου, ενδεδυμενον ποδηρη χιτωνα και περιεζωσμενον πλησιον των μαστων ζωνην χρυσην.	13 and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, wearing an ankle-length robe, with a gold sash around his chest.
14 Η δε κεφαλη αυτου και αι τριχες ησαν λευκαι και ως μαλλιον λευκον, ως χιων? και οι οφθαλμοι αυτου ως φλοξ πυρος,	14 The hair of his head was as white as white wool or as snow, and his eyes were like a fiery flame.
15 και οι ποδες αυτου ομοιοι με χαλκολιβανον, ως εν καμινω πεπυρωμενοι, και η φωνη αυτου ως φωνη υδατων πολλων,	15 His feet were like polished brass refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing water.
16 και ειχεν εν τη δεξια αυτου χειρι επτα αστερας, και εκ του στοματος αυτου του εξηρχετο ρομφαια διστομος οξεια, και η οψις αυτου ελαμπεν ως ο ηλιος λαμπει εν τη δυναμει αυτου.	16 In his right hand he held seven stars. A sharp two-edged sword came out of his mouth, and his face shone like the sun at its brightest.
17 Και οτε ειδον αυτον, επεσα προς τους ποδας αυτου ως νεκρος, και επεθηκε την δεξιαν αυτου χειρα επ' εμε; λεγων μοι? Μη φοβου? εγω ειμαι ο πρωτος και ο εσχατος	17 When I caught sight of him, I fell down at his feet as though dead. He touched me with his right hand and said, "Do not be afraid. I am the first and the last,
18 και ο ζων, και εγεινα νεκρος, και ιδου, ειμαι ζων εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων, αμην, και εχω τα κλειδια του αδου και του θανατου.	18 the one who lives. Once I was dead, but now I am alive forever and ever. I hold the keys to death and the netherworld.
19 Γραψον οσα ειδες και οσα ειναι και οσα μελλουσι να γεινωσι μετα ταυτα?	19 Write down, therefore, what you have seen, and what is happening, and what will happen afterwards.
20 το μυστηριον των επτα αστερων, τους οποιους ειδες εν τη δεξια μου, και τας επτα λυχνιας τας χρυσας. Οι επτα αστερες ειναι οι αγγελοι των επτα εκκλησιων, και αι επτα λυχνιαι, τας οποιας ειδες, ειναι αι επτα εκκλησιαι.	20 This is the secret meaning of the seven stars you saw in my right hand, and of the seven gold lampstands: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.
