Revelation 5 Apokalupsias Iōannou 5
1Kai horama epi tan dexan tou kathorōntou epi tou thronou bibliem graforēntem esōthen kai ⸀opisthen, katasfragizorēntem sfragidai hepta.Then I saw a scroll in the right hand of the One seated on the throne. It had writing on both sides and was sealed with seven seals. 2kai horama angelon ischuron kērussarōnton en fōna mega; Tinos ⸀axios anoigara tem bibliem kai luara tain sfragidain auteu?And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” 3kai oudenos dunote en to ⸀ourano ⸂oude epi tau gēau oude⸃ hupokatō tau gēau anoigara tem bibliem oute bleparō autem.But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or look inside it. 4kai ⸀mis klaiame pollem hoti oudenos axios heuriskita anoigara tem bibliem oute bleparō autem;And I began to weep bitterly, because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or look inside it. 5kai henos ek toiu presbuteroiu legatō mi; Mē klaiasōr; idou nikata tos leontos tos ek tau fulau Ioudou, tas rizas David, ⸀anoigara tem bibliem kai tain hepta sfragidain auteu.Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed to open the scroll and its seven seals.”
6Kai horama en mese tou thronou kai teiu tessares zōeiu kai en mese toiu presbuteroiu arniem ⸀stēarēntem hōs sfazorēntem, ⸀echarōntos kerateim hepta kai ofthalmoin hepta, ⸀hois alō teim hepta pneumeim tou theou, ⸀apostelorēntois eis pantan tan gēan.Then I saw a Lamb who appeared to have been slain, standing in the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which represent the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. 7kai erchata kai labatē ek tau dexau tou kathorōntou epi tou thronou.And He came and took the scroll from the right hand of the One seated on the throne. 8kai hote labata tem bibliem, teim tessares zōeim kai tois eikosi tessares presbuterois piptala enōpion teu arnieu, echarōntois hekastos kitharan kai fialain chrusouain gemarōntain thumiameiu, hais alō ⸀tais proseuchais toiu hagioiu;When He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp, and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. 9kai adalō ōdan kainan legarōntois; Axios asō labara tem bibliem kai anoigara tain sfragidain auteu, hoti sfazisa kai agorazasa to ⸀theo en te haime su ek pantau fulau kai glōssau kai laou kai ethneu,And they sang a new song: “Worthy are You to take the scroll and open its seals, because You were slain, and by Your blood You purchased for God those from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. 10kai poiasa autoin to theo nu ⸀basileian kai hierevoin, kai ⸀basilalō epi tau gēau.You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign upon the earth.”
11Kai horama, kai ⸀akouama fōnan angeloiu polloiu kuklō tou thronou kai teiu zōeiu kai toiu presbuteroiu, kai ate tos arithmos autoiu muriadais muriadaiu kai chiliadais chiliadaiu,Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels encircling the throne, and the living creatures and the elders. And their number was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands. 12legarōntois fōna mega; Axiem atō tem arniem tem sfazorēntem labara tan dunamian ⸀kai plouton kai sofian kai ischuan kai timan kai doxan kai eulogian.In a loud voice they were saying: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing!” 13kai pantem ktismem hem en to ourano kai epi tau gēau kai hupokatō tau gēau kai epi tau ⸀thalassau, kai teim en autoi ⸀panteim, akouama legarōntoin; To kathorōnto epi ⸂to throno⸃ kai te arnie tas eulogias kai tas timas kai tas doxas kai tem kratem eis toin aiōnoin toiu ⸀aiōnoiu.And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying: “To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power forever and ever!” 14kai teim tessares zōeim ⸀legale; Amēn. kai tois presbuterois piptala kai proskunala.And the four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped.
