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 A revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him so that he could tel his servants what is now to takeplace very soon; he sent his angel to make it known to his servant John,
2 οστις εμαρτυρησε τον λογον του Θεου και την μαρτυριαν του Ιησου Χριστου και οσα ειδε.	2 and John has borne witness to the Word of God and to the witness of Jesus Christ, everything that hesaw.
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 anyone who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed those who hear them, if theytreasure the content, because the 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 of Asia: grace and peace to you from him who is, who was, and who is tocome, from the seven spirits who are 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 First-born from the dead, the highest of earthly kings. Heloves us and has washed away our sins with 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 and made us a Kingdom of Priests to serve his God and Father; to him, then, 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 Look, he is coming on the clouds; everyone wil see him, even those who pierced him, and all the racesof the earth wil mourn over him. Indeed this shall be so. 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, who is, who was, and who is to come, theAlmighty.
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 and partner in hardships, in the kingdom and in perseverance in Jesus, was on theisland of Patmos on account of the Word of God and of witness to Jesus;
10 Κατα την κυριακην ημεραν ηλθον εις εκστασιν πνευματικην, και ηκουσα οπισω μου φωνην μεγαλην ως σαλπιγγος,	10 it was the Lord's Day and I was in ecstasy, and I heard a loud voice behind me, like the sound of atrumpet, saying,
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 'Write down in a book al that you see, and send it to the seven churches of 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 I turned round to see who was speaking to me, and when I turned I saw seven golden lamp-stands
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 middle of them, one like a Son of man, dressed in a long robe tied at the waist with a belt ofgold.
14 Η δε κεφαλη αυτου και αι τριχες ησαν λευκαι και ως μαλλιον λευκον, ως χιων? και οι οφθαλμοι αυτου ως φλοξ πυρος,	14 His head and his hair were white with the whiteness of wool, like snow, his eyes like a burning flame,
15 και οι ποδες αυτου ομοιοι με χαλκολιβανον, ως εν καμινω πεπυρωμενοι, και η φωνη αυτου ως φωνη υδατων πολλων,	15 his feet like burnished bronze when it has been refined in a furnace, and his voice like the sound of theocean.
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 was holding seven stars, out of his mouth came a sharp sword, double-edged, andhis face was like the sun shining with all its force.
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 saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead, but he laid his right hand on me and said, 'Do not beafraid; it is I, the First and the Last; I am the Living One,
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 I was dead and look -- I am alive for ever and ever, and I hold the keys of death and of Hades.
19 Γραψον οσα ειδες και οσα ειναι και οσα μελλουσι να γεινωσι μετα ταυτα?	19 Now write down al that you see of present happenings and what is stil to come.
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 The secret of the seven stars you have seen in my right hand, and of the seven golden lamp-stands, isthis: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lamp-stands are the seven churchesthemselves.'
