1 Και μοι εδοθη καλαμος ομοιος με ραβδον, και ο αγγελος ιστατο λεγων? Σηκωθητι και μετρησον τον ναον του Θεου και το θυσιαστηριον και τους προσκυνουντας εν αυτω. | 1 And a reed, similar to a staff, was given to me. And it was said to me: “Rise up and measure the temple of God, and those who are worshiping in it, and the altar. |
2 Την αυλην ομως την εξωθεν του ναου αφες εξω και μη μετρησης αυτην, διοτι εδοθη εις τα εθνη, και την πολιν την αγιαν θελουσι πατησει τεσσαρακοντα δυο μηνας. | 2 But the atrium, which is outside of the temple, set it aside and do not measure it, because it has been given over to the Gentiles. And they shall trample upon the Holy City for forty-two months. |
3 Και θελω δωσει εις τους δυο μαρτυρας μου να προφητευσωσι χιλιας διακοσιας εξηκοντα ημερας, ενδεδυμενοι σακκους. | 3 And I will present my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy for one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth. |
4 Ουτοι ειναι αι δυο ελαιαι και αι δυο λυχνιαι, αι ισταμεναι ενωπιον του Θεου της γης. | 4 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands, standing in the sight of the lord of the earth. |
5 Και εαν τις θελη να βλαψη αυτους, εξερχεται πυρ εκ του στοματος αυτων και κατατρωγει τους εχθρους αυτων? και εαν τις θελη να βλαψη αυτους, ουτω πρεπει αυτος να θανατωθη. | 5 And if anyone will want to harm them, fire shall go forth from their mouths, and it shall devour their enemies. And if anyone will want to wound them, so must he be slain. |
6 Ουτοι εχουσιν εξουσιαν να κλεισωσι τον ουρανον, δια να μη βρεχη βροχη εν ταις ημεραις της προφητειας αυτων, και εχουσιν εξουσιαν επι των υδατων να μεταβαλλωσιν αυτα εις αιμα και να παταξωσι την γην με πασαν πληγην, οσακις εαν θελησωσι. | 6 These have the power to close up the heavens, so that it may not rain during the days of their prophesying. And they have power over the waters, to convert them into blood, and to strike the earth with every kind of affliction as often as they will. |
7 Και οταν τελειωσωσι την μαρτυριαν αυτων, το θηριον το αναβαινον εκ της αβυσσου θελει καμει πολεμον με αυτους και θελει νικησει αυτους και θανατωσει αυτους. | 7 And when they will have finished their testimony, the beast that ascended from the abyss will make war against them, and will overcome them, and will kill them. |
8 Και τα πτωματα αυτων θελουσι κεισθαι επι της πλατειας της πολεως της μεγαλης, ητις καλειται πνευματικως Σοδομα και Αιγυπτος, οπου και ο Κυριος ημων εσταυρωθη. | 8 And their bodies shall lie in the streets of the Great City, which is figuratively called ‘Sodom’ and ‘Egypt,’ the place where their Lord also was crucified. |
9 Και οι ανθρωποι εκ των λαων και φυλων και γλωσσων και εθνων θελουσι βλεπει τα πτωματα αυτων ημερας τρεις και ημισυ, και δεν θελουσιν αφησει τα πτωματα αυτων να τεθωσιν εις μνηματα. | 9 And those from the tribes and peoples and languages and nations shall be watching their bodies for three and one half days. And they shall not permit their bodies to be placed in tombs. |
10 Και οι κατοικουντες επι της γης θελουσι χαρη δι' αυτους και ευφρανθη και θελουσι πεμψει δωρα προς αλληλους, διοτι ουτοι οι δυο προφηται εβασανισαν τους κατοικουντας επι της γης. | 10 And the inhabitants of the earth will rejoice over them, and they will celebrate, and they will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tortured those who were living upon the earth. |
11 Και μετα τας τρεις ημερας και ημισυ εισηλθεν εις αυτους πνευμα ζωης εκ του Θεου, και εσταθησαν επι τους ποδας αυτων, και φοβος μεγας επεσεν επι τους θεωρουντας αυτους. | 11 And after three and one half days, the spirit of life from God entered into them. And they stood upright on their feet. And a great fear fell over those who saw them. |
12 Και ηκουσαν φωνην μεγαλην εκ του ουρανου, λεγουσαν προς αυτους? Αναβητε εδω. Και ανεβησαν εις τον ουρανον εν τη νεφελη, και ειδον αυτους οι εχθροι αυτων. | 12 And they heard a great voice from heaven, saying to them, “Ascend to here!” And they ascended into heaven on a cloud. And their enemies saw them. |
13 Και κατ' εκεινην την ωραν εγεινε σεισμος μεγας, και επεσε το δεκατον της πολεως, και εθανατωθησαν εν τω σεισμω ονοματα ανθρωπων χιλιαδες επτα, και οι λοιποι εγειναν εμφοβοι και εδωκαν δοξαν εις τον Θεον του ουρανου. | 13 And at that hour, a great earthquake occurred. And one tenth part of the City fell. And the names of the men slain in the earthquake were seven thousand. And the remainder were thrown into fear, and they gave glory to the God of heaven. |
14 Η ουαι η δευτερα απηλθεν? ιδου, η ουαι η τριτη ερχεται ταχεως. | 14 The second woe has gone out, but behold, the third woe approaches quickly. |
15 Και ο εβδομος αγγελος εσαλπισε και εγειναν φωναι μεγαλαι εν τω ουρανω, λεγουσαι? Αι βασιλειαι του κοσμου εγειναν του Κυριου ημων και του Χριστου αυτου, και θελει βασιλευσει εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων. | 15 And the seventh Angel sounded the trumpet. And there were great voices in heaven, saying: “The kingdom of this world has become our Lord’s and his Christ’s, and he shall reign forever and ever. Amen.” |
16 Και οι εικοσιτεσσαρες πρεσβυτεροι, οι καθημενοι ενωπιον του Θεου επι τους θρονους αυτων, επεσαν κατα προσωπον αυτων και προσεκυνησαν τον Θεον, | 16 And the twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones in the sight of God, fell upon their faces, and they adored God, saying: |
17 λεγοντες? Ευχαριστουμεν σοι, Κυριε Θεε παντοκρατωρ, ο ων και ο ην και ο ερχομενος, διοτι ελαβες την δυναμιν σου την μεγαλην και εβασιλευσας, | 17 “We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, who is, and who was, and who is to come. For you have taken your great power, and you have reigned. |
18 και τα εθνη ωργισθησαν, και ηλθεν η οργη σου και ο καιρος των νεκρων δια να κριθωσι και να δωσης τον μισθον εις τους δουλους σου τους προφητας και εις τους αγιους και εις τους φοβουμενους το ονομα σου, τους μικρους και τους μεγαλους, και να διαφθειρης τους διαφθειροντας την γην. | 18 And the nations became angry, but your wrath arrived, and the time for the dead to be judged, and to render a reward to your servants the prophets, and to the saints, and to those who fear your name, small and great, and to exterminate those who have corrupted the earth.” |
19 Και ηνοιχθη ο ναος του Θεου εν τω ουρανω, και εφανη η κιβωτος της διαθηκης αυτου εν τω ναω αυτου, και εγειναν αστραπαι και φωναι και βρονται και σεισμος και χαλαζα μεγαλη. | 19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven. And the Ark of his Testament was seen in his temple. And there were lightnings and voices and thunders, and an earthquake, and great hail. |
