New Testament

Revelation 6

1Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, 'Come and see.'

και ειδον οτι ηνοιξεν το αρνιον μιαν εκ των επτα σφραγιδων· και ηκουσα ενος εκ των τεσσαρων ζωων λεγοντος, ως φωνη βροντης· ερχου.

2And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.

και ειδον, και ιδου ιππος λευκος, και ο καθημενος επ αυτον εχων τοξον· και εδοθη αυτω στεφανος, και εξηλθεν νικων και ινα νικηση.

3When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, 'Come and see.'

και οτε ηνοιξεν την σφραγιδα την δευτεραν, ηκουσα του δευτερου ζωου λεγοντος· ερχου.

4Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.

και εξηλθεν αλλος ιππος πυρρος, και τω καθημενω επ αυτον εδοθη αυτω λαβειν την ειρηνην εκ της γης και ινα αλληλους σφαξωσιν, και εδοθη αυτω μαχαιρα μεγαλη.

5When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, 'Come and see.' So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand.

και οτε ηνοιξεν την σφραγιδα την τριτην, ηκουσα του τριτου ζωου λεγοντος, ερχου. και ειδον, και ιδου ιππος μελας, και ο καθημενος επ αυτον εχων ζυγον εν τη χειρι αυτου·

6And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, 'A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.'

και ηκουσα [ως] φωνην εν μεσω των τεσσαρων ζωων λεγουσαν· χοινιξ σιτου δηναριου, και τρεις χοινικες κριθης δηναριου· και το ελαιον και τον οινον μη αδικησης.

7When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, 'Come and see.'

και οτε ηνοιξεν την σφραγιδα την τεταρτην, ηκουσα [φωνην] του τεταρτου ζωου λεγοντος· ερχου.

8So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.

και ειδον, και ιδου ιππος χλωρος, και ο καθημενος επανω αυτου, ονομα αυτω ο θανατος, και ο αδης ηκολουθει μετ αυτου· και εδοθη αυτω εξουσια επι το τεταρτον της γης, αποκτειναι εν ρομφαια και εν λιμω και εν θανατω και υπο των θηριων της γης.

9When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held.

και οτε ηνοιξεν την πεμπτην σφραγιδα, ειδον υποκατω του θυσιαστηριου τας ψυχας των εσφαγμενων δια τον λογον του θεου και δια την μαρτυριαν του αρνιου ην ειχον·

10And they cried with a loud voice, saying, 'How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?'

και εκραξαν φωνη μεγαλη λεγοντες· εως ποτε, ο δεσποτης ο αγιος και ο αληθινος, ου κρινεις και εκδικεις το αιμα ημων εκ των κατοικουντων επι της γης;

11Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.

και εδοθη αυτοις [εκαστω] στολη λευκη, και ερρεθη αυτοις ινα αναπαυσωνται ετι χρονον [μικρον], εως πληρωσωσιν και οι συνδουλοι αυτων και οι αδελφοι αυτων οι μελλοντες αποκτεννεσθαι ως και αυτοι.

12I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood.

και ειδον οτε ηνοιξεν την σφραγιδα την εκτην, και σεισμος μεγας εγενετο, και ο ηλιος μελας εγενετο ως σακκος τριχινος, και η σεληνη ολη εγενετο ως αιμα,

13And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind.

και οι αστερες του ουρανου επεσαν εις την γην, ως συκη βαλλουσα τους ολυνθους αυτης, υπο ανεμου μεγαλου σειομενη,

14Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place.

και ο ουρανος απεχωρισθη ως βιβλιον ελισσομενον, και παν ορος και νησος εκ των τοπων αυτων εκινηθησαν·

15And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains,

και οι βασιλεις της γης και οι μεγιστανες και οι χιλιαρχοι και οι πλουσιοι και οι ισχυροι και πας δουλος και ελευθερος εκρυψαν εαυτους εις τα σπηλαια και εις τας πετρας των ορεων,

16and said to the mountains and rocks, 'Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!

και λεγουσιν τοις ορεσιν και ταις πετραις· πεσατε εφ ημας και κρυψατε ημας απο προσωπου του καθημενου επι του θρονου και απο της οργης του αρνιου,

17For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?'

οτι ηλθεν η ημερα η μεγαλη της οργης αυτου, και τις δυναται σταθηναι;
