- 1And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.Καὶ εἶδον ἐπὶ τὴν δεξιὰν τοῦ καθημένου ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου βιβλίον γεγραμμένον ἔσωθεν καὶ ⸀ὄπισθεν κατεσφραγισμένον σφραγῖσιν ἑπτά
- 2And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?καὶ εἶδον ἄγγελον ἰσχυρὸν κηρύσσοντα ἐν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ Τίς ⸀ἄξιος ἀνοῖξαι τὸ βιβλίον καὶ λῦσαι τὰς σφραγῖδας αὐτοῦ
- 3And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐδύνατο ἐν τῷ ⸀οὐρανῷ ⸂οὐδὲ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς οὐδὲ⸃ ὑποκάτω τῆς γῆς ἀνοῖξαι τὸ βιβλίον οὔτε βλέπειν αὐτό
- 4And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.καὶ ⸀ἐγὼ ἔκλαιον πολὺ ὅτι οὐδεὶς ἄξιος εὑρέθη ἀνοῖξαι τὸ βιβλίον οὔτε βλέπειν αὐτό
- 5And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.καὶ εἷς ἐκ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων λέγει μοι Μὴ κλαῖε ἰδοὺ ἐνίκησεν ὁ λέων ὁ ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς Ἰούδα ἡ ῥίζα ⸀ἀνοῖξαι τὸ βιβλίον καὶ τὰς ἑπτὰ σφραγῖδας αὐτοῦ
- 6And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.Καὶ εἶδον ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ θρόνου καὶ τῶν τεσσάρων καὶ ἐν μέσῳ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων ἀρνίον ⸀ἑστηκὸς ὡς ἐσφαγμένον ⸀ἔχων κέρατα ἑπτὰ καὶ ὀφθαλμοὺς ἑπτά ⸀οἵ εἰσιν τὰ ἑπτὰ πνεύματα τοῦ θεοῦ ⸀ἀπεσταλμένοι εἰς πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν
- 7And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.καὶ ἦλθεν καὶ εἴληφεν ἐκ τῆς δεξιᾶς τοῦ καθημένου ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου
- 8And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.καὶ ὅτε ἔλαβεν τὸ βιβλίον τὰ τέσσαρα καὶ οἱ τέσσαρες πρεσβύτεροι ἔπεσαν ἐνώπιον τοῦ ἀρνίου ἔχοντες ἕκαστος κιθάραν καὶ φιάλας γεμούσας θυμιαμάτων αἵ εἰσιν ⸀αἱ προσευχαὶ τῶν ἁγίων
- 9And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;καὶ ᾄδουσιν ᾠδὴν καινὴν λέγοντες Ἄξιος εἶ λαβεῖν τὸ βιβλίον καὶ ἀνοῖξαι τὰς σφραγῖδας αὐτοῦ ὅτι ἐσφάγης καὶ ἠγόρασας τῷ ⸀θεῷ ἐν τῷ αἵματί σου ἐκ πάσης φυλῆς καὶ γλώσσης καὶ λαοῦ καὶ ἔθνους
- 10And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.καὶ ἐποίησας αὐτοὺς τῷ θεῷ ἡμῶν ⸀βασιλείαν καὶ ἱερεῖς καὶ ⸀βασιλεύουσιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς
- 11And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;Καὶ εἶδον καὶ ⸀ἤκουσα φωνὴν ἀγγέλων πολλῶν κύκλῳ τοῦ θρόνου καὶ τῶν καὶ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων καὶ ἦν ὁ ἀριθμὸς αὐτῶν μυριάδες μυριάδων καὶ χιλιάδες χιλιάδων
- 12Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.λέγοντες φωνῇ μεγάλῃ Ἄξιόν ἐστιν τὸ ἀρνίον τὸ ἐσφαγμένον λαβεῖν τὴν δύναμιν ⸀καὶ πλοῦτον καὶ σοφίαν καὶ ἰσχὺν καὶ τιμὴν καὶ δόξαν καὶ εὐλογίαν
- 13And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.καὶ πᾶν κτίσμα ὃ ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ ὑποκάτω τῆς γῆς καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς ⸀θαλάσσης καὶ τὰ ἐν αὐτοῖς ⸀πάντα ἤκουσα λέγοντας Τῷ καθημένῳ ἐπὶ ⸂τῷ θρόνῳ⸃ καὶ τῷ ἀρνίῳ ἡ εὐλογία καὶ ἡ τιμὴ καὶ ἡ δόξα καὶ τὸ κράτος εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν ⸀αἰώνων
- 14And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.καὶ τὰ τέσσαρα ⸀ἔλεγον Ἀμήν καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι ἔπεσαν καὶ προσεκύνησαν
