< Revelation 6 >

1 And I saw that the Lamb had opened one of the seven seals. And I heard one of the four living creatures saying, in a voice like thunder: “Draw near and see.”
Και είδον, ότε ήνοιξε το Αρνίον μίαν εκ των σφραγίδων, και ήκουσα εν εκ των τεσσάρων ζώων λέγον ως φωνήν βροντής· Έρχου και βλέπε.
2 And I saw, and behold, a white horse. And he who was sitting upon it was holding a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he went forth conquering, so that he might prevail.
Και είδον, και ιδού, ίππος λευκός· και ο καθήμενος επ' αυτόν είχε τόξον· και εδόθη εις αυτόν στέφανος, και εξήλθε νικών και διά να νικήση.
3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying: “Draw near and see.”
Και ότε ήνοιξε την δευτέραν σφραγίδα, ήκουσα το δεύτερον ζώον λέγον· Έρχου και βλέπε.
4 And another horse went forth, which was red. And it was granted to him who was sitting upon it that he would take peace from the earth, and that they would kill one another. And a great sword was given to him.
Και εξήλθεν άλλος ίππος κόκκινος, και εις τον καθήμενον επ' αυτόν εδόθη να σηκώση την ειρήνην από της γης, και να σφάξωσιν αλλήλους, και εδόθη εις αυτόν μάχαιρα μεγάλη.
5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying: “Draw near and see.” And behold, a black horse. And he who was sitting upon it was holding a balance in his hand.
Και ότε ήνοιξε την τρίτην σφραγίδα, ήκουσα το τρίτον ζώον λέγον· Έρχου και βλέπε. Και είδον, και ιδού, ίππος μέλας, και ο καθήμενος επ' αυτόν είχε ζυγαρίαν εν τη χειρί αυτού.
6 And I heard something like a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A double measure of wheat for a denarius, and three double measures of barley for a denarius, but do no harm to wine and oil.”
Και ήκουσα φωνήν εν μέσω των τεσσάρων ζώων λέγουσαν· Μία χοίνιξ σίτου δι' εν δηνάριον και τρεις χοίνικες κριθής δι' εν δηνάριον, και το έλαιον και τον οίνον μη βλάψης.
7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying: “Draw near and see.”
Και ότε ήνοιξε την σφραγίδα την τετάρτην, ήκουσα φωνήν του τετάρτου ζώου λέγουσαν· Έρχου και βλέπε.
8 And behold, a pale horse. And he who was sitting upon it, his name was Death, and Hell was following him. And authority was given to him over the four parts of the earth, to destroy by the sword, by famine, and by death, and by the creatures of the earth. (Hadēs g86)
Και είδον, και ιδού, ίππος ωχρός, και ο καθήμενος επάνω αυτού ωνομάζετο θάνατος, και ο Άδης ηκολούθει μετ' αυτού· και εδόθη εις αυτούς εξουσία επί το τέταρτον της γης, να θανατώσωσι με ρομφαίαν και με πείναν και με θάνατον και με τα θηρία της γης. (Hadēs g86)
9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw, under the altar, the souls of those who had been slain because of the Word of God and because of the testimony that they held.
Και ότε ήνοιξε την πέμπτην σφραγίδα, είδον υποκάτω του θυσιαστηρίου τας ψυχάς των εσφαγμένων διά τον λόγον του Θεού και διά την μαρτυρίαν, την οποίαν είχον.
10 And they were crying out with a loud voice, saying: “How long, O Holy and True Lord, will you not judge and not vindicate our blood against those who dwell upon the earth?”
Και έκραξαν μετά φωνής μεγάλης, λέγοντες· Έως πότε, ω Δέσποτα άγιε και αληθινέ, δεν κρίνεις και εκδικείς το αίμα ημών από των κατοικούντων επί της γης;
11 And white robes were given to each of them. And they were told that they should rest for a brief time, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who were to be slain even as they were slain, would be completed.
Και εδόθησαν εις έκαστον στολαί λευκαί, και ερρέθη προς αυτούς να αναπαυθώσιν έτι ολίγον καιρόν, εωσού συμπληρωθώσι και οι σύνδουλοι αυτών και οι αδελφοί αυτών οι μέλλοντες να φονευθώσιν ως και αυτοί.
12 And when he had opened the sixth seal, I saw, and behold, a great earthquake occurred. And the sun became black, like a haircloth sack, and the entire moon became like blood.
Και είδον, ότε ήνοιξε την σφραγίδα την έκτην, και ιδού, έγεινε σεισμός μέγας, και ο ήλιος έγεινε μέλας ως σάκκος τρίχινος και η σελήνη έγεινεν ως αίμα,
13 And the stars from heaven fell upon the earth, just as when a fig tree, shaken by a great wind, drops its immature figs.
και οι αστέρες του ουρανού έπεσαν εις την γην, καθώς η συκή ρίπτει τα άωρα σύκα αυτής, σειομένη υπό μεγάλου ανέμου,
14 And heaven receded, like a scroll being rolled up. And every mountain, and the islands, were moved from their places.
και ο ουρανός απεχωρίσθη ως βιβλίον τυλιγμένον, και παν όρος και νήσος εκινήθησαν εκ των τόπων αυτών·
15 And the kings of the earth, and the rulers, and the military leaders, and the wealthy, and the strong, and everyone, servant and free, hid themselves in caves and among the rocks of the mountains.
και οι βασιλείς της γης και οι μεγιστάνες και οι πλούσιοι και οι χιλίαρχοι και οι δυνατοί και πας δούλος και πας ελεύθερος έκρυψαν εαυτούς εις τα σπήλαια και εις τας πέτρας των ορέων,
16 And they said to the mountains and the rocks: “Fall over us and hide us from the face of the One sitting upon the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb.
και λέγουσι προς τα όρη και προς τας πέτρας· Πέσατε εφ' ημάς και κρύψατε ημάς από προσώπου του καθημένου επί του θρόνου και από της οργής του Αρνίου,
17 For the great day of their wrath has arrived. And who will be able to stand?”
διότι ήλθεν η ημέρα η μεγάλη της οργής αυτού, και τις δύναται να σταθή;
