Revelation 6


font
CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAINGREEK BIBLE
1 And I saw that the Lamb had opened one of the seven seals. And I heard one of the four living creatures saying, in a voice like thunder: “Draw near and see.”1 Και ειδον, οτε ηνοιξε το Αρνιον μιαν εκ των σφραγιδων, και ηκουσα εν εκ των τεσσαρων ζωων λεγον ως φωνην βροντης? Ερχου και βλεπε.
2 And I saw, and behold, a white horse. And he who was sitting upon it was holding a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he went forth conquering, so that he might prevail.2 Και ειδον, και ιδου, ιππος λευκος? και ο καθημενος επ' αυτον ειχε τοξον? και εδοθη εις αυτον στεφανος, και εξηλθε νικων και δια να νικηση.
3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying: “Draw near and see.”3 Και οτε ηνοιξε την δευτεραν σφραγιδα, ηκουσα το δευτερον ζωον λεγον? Ερχου και βλεπε.
4 And another horse went forth, which was red. And it was granted to him who was sitting upon it that he would take peace from the earth, and that they would kill one another. And a great sword was given to him.4 Και εξηλθεν αλλος ιππος κοκκινος, και εις τον καθημενον επ' αυτον εδοθη να σηκωση την ειρηνην απο της γης, και να σφαξωσιν αλληλους, και εδοθη εις αυτον μαχαιρα μεγαλη.
5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying: “Draw near and see.” And behold, a black horse. And he who was sitting upon it was holding a balance in his hand.5 Και οτε ηνοιξε την τριτην σφραγιδα, ηκουσα το τριτον ζωον λεγον? Ερχου και βλεπε. Και ειδον, και ιδου, ιππος μελας, και ο καθημενος επ' αυτον ειχε ζυγαριαν εν τη χειρι αυτου.
6 And I heard something like a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A double measure of wheat for a denarius, and three double measures of barley for a denarius, but do no harm to wine and oil.”6 Και ηκουσα φωνην εν μεσω των τεσσαρων ζωων λεγουσαν? Μια χοινιξ σιτου δι' εν δηναριον και τρεις χοινικες κριθης δι' εν δηναριον, και το ελαιον και τον οινον μη βλαψης.
7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying: “Draw near and see.”7 Και οτε ηνοιξε την σφραγιδα την τεταρτην, ηκουσα φωνην του τεταρτου ζωου λεγουσαν? Ερχου και βλεπε.
8 And behold, a pale horse. And he who was sitting upon it, his name was Death, and Hell was following him. And authority was given to him over the four parts of the earth, to destroy by the sword, by famine, and by death, and by the creatures of the earth.8 Και ειδον, και ιδου, ιππος ωχρος, και ο καθημενος επανω αυτου ωνομαζετο θανατος, και ο Αιδης ηκολουθει μετ' αυτου? και εδοθη εις αυτους εξουσια επι το τεταρτον της γης, να θανατωσωσι με ρομφαιαν και με πειναν και με θανατον και με τα θηρια της γης.
9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw, under the altar, the souls of those who had been slain because of the Word of God and because of the testimony that they held.9 Και οτε ηνοιξε την πεμπτην σφραγιδα, ειδον υποκατω του θυσιαστηριου τας ψυχας των εσφαγμενων δια τον λογον του Θεου και δια την μαρτυριαν, την οποιαν ειχον.
10 And they were crying out with a loud voice, saying: “How long, O Holy and True Lord, will you not judge and not vindicate our blood against those who dwell upon the earth?”10 Και εκραξαν μετα φωνης μεγαλης, λεγοντες? Εως ποτε, ω Δεσποτα αγιε και αληθινε, δεν κρινεις και εκδικεις το αιμα ημων απο των κατοικουντων επι της γης;
11 And white robes were given to each of them. And they were told that they should rest for a brief time, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who were to be slain even as they were slain, would be completed.11 Και εδοθησαν εις εκαστον στολαι λευκαι, και ερρεθη προς αυτους να αναπαυθωσιν ετι ολιγον καιρον, εωσου συμπληρωθωσι και οι συνδουλοι αυτων και οι αδελφοι αυτων οι μελλοντες να φονευθωσιν ως και αυτοι.
12 And when he had opened the sixth seal, I saw, and behold, a great earthquake occurred. And the sun became black, like a haircloth sack, and the entire moon became like blood.12 Και ειδον, οτε ηνοιξε την σφραγιδα την εκτην, και ιδου, εγεινε σεισμος μεγας, και ο ηλιος εγεινε μελας ως σακκος τριχινος και η σεληνη εγεινεν ως αιμα,
13 And the stars from heaven fell upon the earth, just as when a fig tree, shaken by a great wind, drops its immature figs.13 και οι αστερες του ουρανου επεσαν εις την γην, καθως η συκη ριπτει τα αωρα συκα αυτης, σειομενη υπο μεγαλου ανεμου,
14 And heaven receded, like a scroll being rolled up. And every mountain, and the islands, were moved from their places.14 και ο ουρανος απεχωρισθη ως βιβλιον τυλιγμενον, και παν ορος και νησος εκινηθησαν εκ των τοπων αυτων?
15 And the kings of the earth, and the rulers, and the military leaders, and the wealthy, and the strong, and everyone, servant and free, hid themselves in caves and among the rocks of the mountains.15 και οι βασιλεις της γης και οι μεγιστανες και οι πλουσιοι και οι χιλιαρχοι και οι δυνατοι και πας δουλος και πας ελευθερος εκρυψαν εαυτους εις τα σπηλαια και εις τας πετρας των ορεων,
16 And they said to the mountains and the rocks: “Fall over us and hide us from the face of the One sitting upon the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb.16 και λεγουσι προς τα ορη και προς τας πετρας? Πεσατε εφ' ημας και κρυψατε ημας απο προσωπου του καθημενου επι του θρονου και απο της οργης του Αρνιου,
17 For the great day of their wrath has arrived. And who will be able to stand?”17 διοτι ηλθεν η ημερα η μεγαλη της οργης αυτου, και τις δυναται να σταθη;
