New Testament

Revelation 10

1I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire.

και ειδον [αλλον] αγγελον ισχυρον καταβαινοντα εκ του ουρανου, περιβεβλημενον νεφελην, και η ιρις επι της κεφαλης αυτου, και το προσωπον αυτου ως ο ηλιος, και οι ποδες αυτου ως στυλοι πυρος,

2He had a little book open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land,

και εχων εν τη χειρι αυτου βιβλιον ανεωγμενον. και εθηκεν τον ποδα αυτου τον δεξιον επι της θαλασσης, τον δε ευωνυμον επι της γης,

3and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. When he cried out, seven thunders uttered their voices.

και εκραξεν φωνη μεγαλη ωσπερ λεων μυκαται. και οτε εκραξεν, ελαλησαν αι επτα βρονται τας εαυτων φωνας.

4Now when the seven thunders uttered their voices, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, 'Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them.'

και οτε ελαλησαν αι επτα βρονται, εμελλον γραφειν· και ηκουσα φωνην εκ του ουρανου λεγουσαν· σφραγισον α ελαλησαν αι επτα βρονται, και μη αυτα γραψης.

5The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised up his hand to heaven

και ο αγγελος, ον ειδον εστωτα επι της θαλασσης και επι της γης, ηρεν την χειρα αυτου την δεξιαν εις τον ουρανον

6and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there should be delay no longer,

και ωμοσεν εν τω ζωντι εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων, ος εκτισεν τον ουρανον και τα εν αυτω και την γην και τα εν αυτη και την θαλασσαν και τα εν αυτη, οτι χρονος ουκετι εσται,

7but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.

αλλ εν ταις ημεραις της φωνης του εβδομου αγγελου, οταν μελλη σαλπιζειν, και ετελεσθη το μυστηριον του θεου, ως ευηγγελισεν τους δουλους αυτου τους προφητας.

8Then the voice which I heard from heaven spoke to me again and said, 'Go, take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the earth.'

και η φωνη ην ηκουσα εκ του ουρανου, παλιν λαλουσα μετ εμου και λεγουσα· υπαγε λαβε το βιβλιδαριον το ανεωγμενον εν τη χειρι του αγγελου του εστωτος επι της θαλασσης και επι της γης.

9So I went to the angel and said to him, 'Give me the little book.'

και απηλθα προς τον αγγελον, λεγων αυτω δουναι μοι το βιβλιδαριον. και λεγει μοι· λαβε και καταφαγε αυτο, και πικρανει σου την κοιλιαν, αλλ εν τω στοματι σου εσται γλυκυ ως μελι.

10And he said to me, 'Take and eat it; and it will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.' Then I took the little book out of the angel's hand and ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth. But when I had eaten it, my stomach became bitter.

και ελαβον το βιβλιον εκ της χειρος του αγγελου και κατεφαγον αυτο, και ην εν τω στοματι μου ως μελι γλυκυ· και οτε εφαγον αυτο, επικρανθη η κοιλια μου.

11And he said to me, 'You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings.'

και λεγουσιν μοι· δει σε παλιν προφητευσαι επι λαοις και εθνεσιν και γλωσσαις και βασιλευσιν πολλοις.
