New Testament

Revelation 8

1When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.

και οτε ηνοιξεν την σφραγιδα την εβδομην, εγενετο σιγη εν τω ουρανω ως ημιωριον.

2And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets.

και ειδον τους επτα αγγελους οι ενωπιον του θεου εστηκασιν, και εδοθησαν αυτοις επτα σαλπιγγες.

3Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

και αλλος αγγελος ηλθεν και εσταθη επι του θυσιαστηριου εχων λιβανωτον χρυσουν, και εδοθη αυτω θυμιαματα πολλα, ινα δωσει ταις προσευχαις των αγιων παντων επι το θυσιαστηριον το χρυσουν το ενωπιον του θρονου.

4And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel's hand.

και ανεβη ο καπνος των θυμιαματων ταις προσευχαις των αγιων εκ χειρος του αγγελου ενωπιον του θεου.

5Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth. And there were noises, thunderings, lightnings, and an earthquake.

και ειληφεν ο αγγελος τον λιβανωτον και εγεμισεν αυτον εκ του πυρος του θυσιαστηριου και εβαλεν εις την γην. και εγενοντο βρονται και φωναι και αστραπαι και σεισμος.

6So the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

και οι επτα αγγελοι οι εχοντες τας επτα σαλπιγγας ητοιμασαν εαυτους ινα σαλπισωσιν.

7The first angel sounded: And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. And a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.

και ο πρωτος εσαλπισεν, και εγενετο χαλαζα και πυρ μεμιγμενα εν αιματι, και εβληθη εις την γην· και το τριτον της γης κατεκαη, και το τριτον των δενδρων κατεκαη, και πας χορτος χλωρος κατεκαη.

8Then the second angel sounded: And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood.

και ο δευτερος αγγελος εσαλπισεν, και ως ορος μεγα [πυρι] καιομενον εβληθη εις την θαλασσαν, και εγενετο το τριτον της θαλασσης αιμα,

9And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

και απεθανεν το τριτον των κτισματων των εν τη θαλασση, τα εχοντα ψυχας, και το τριτον των πλοιων διεφθαρη.

10Then the third angel sounded: And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water.

και ο τριτος αγγελος εσαλπισεν, και επεσεν εκ του ουρανου αστηρ μεγας καιομενος ως λαμπας, και επεσεν επι το τριτον των ποταμων και επι τας πηγας των υδατων.

11The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter.

και το ονομα του αστερος λεγεται ο αψινθος. και εγενετο το τριτον των υδατων εις αψινθον, και πολλοι των ανθρωπων απεθανον εκ των υδατων, οτι επικρανθησαν.

12Then the fourth angel sounded: And a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night.

και ο τεταρτος αγγελος εσαλπισεν, και επληγη το τριτον του ηλιου και το τριτον της σεληνης και το τριτον των αστερων, ινα σκοτισθη το τριτον αυτων, και το τριτον αυτης μη φανη η ημερα, και η νυξ ομοιως.

13And I looked, and I heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, 'Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!'

και ειδον και ηκουσα ενος αετου πετομενου εν μεσουρανηματι, λεγοντος φωνη μεγαλη· ουαι, ουαι, ουαι τους κατοικουντας επι της γης εκ των λοιπων φωνων της σαλπιγγος των τριων αγγελων των μελλοντων σαλπιζειν.
