¹[] Και ειδον, οτε ηνοιξε το Αρνιον μιαν εκ των σφραγιδων, και ηκουσα εν εκ των τεσσαρων ζωων λεγον ως φωνην βροντης· Ερχου και βλεπε.

¹I saw that the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as with a voice of thunder, “Come and see!”

²Και ειδον, και ιδου, ιππος λευκος· και ο καθημενος επ' αυτον ειχε τοξον· και εδοθη εις αυτον στεφανος, και εξηλθε νικων και δια να νικηση.

²And behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow. A crown was given to him, and he came forth conquering, and to conquer.

³[] Και οτε ηνοιξε την δευτεραν σφραγιδα, ηκουσα το δευτερον ζωον λεγον· Ερχου και βλεπε.

³When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come!”

⁴Και εξηλθεν αλλος ιππος κοκκινος, και εις τον καθημενον επ' αυτον εδοθη να σηκωση την ειρηνην απο της γης, και να σφαξωσιν αλληλους, και εδοθη εις αυτον μαχαιρα μεγαλη.

⁴Another came forth, a red horse. To him who sat on it was given power to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another. There was given to him a great sword.

⁵Και οτε ηνοιξε την τριτην σφραγιδα, ηκουσα το τριτον ζωον λεγον· Ερχου και βλεπε. Και ειδον, και ιδου, ιππος μελας, και ο καθημενος επ' αυτον ειχε ζυγαριαν εν τη χειρι αυτου.

⁵When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, “Come and see!” And behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a balance in his hand.

⁶Και ηκουσα φωνην εν μεσω των τεσσαρων ζωων λεγουσαν· Μια χοινιξ σιτου δι' εν δηναριον και τρεις χοινικες κριθης δι' εν δηναριον, και το ελαιον και τον οινον μη βλαψης.

⁶I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A choenix A choenix is a dry volume measure that is a little more than a litre (a little more than a quart). of wheat for a denarius, and three choenix of barley for a denarius! Don’t damage the oil and the wine!”

⁷Και οτε ηνοιξε την σφραγιδα την τεταρτην, ηκουσα φωνην του τεταρτου ζωου λεγουσαν· Ερχου και βλεπε.

⁷When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see!”

⁸Και ειδον, και ιδου, ιππος ωχρος, και ο καθημενος επανω αυτου ωνομαζετο θανατος, και ο Αιδης ηκολουθει μετ' αυτου· και εδοθη εις αυτους εξουσια επι το τεταρτον της γης, να θανατωσωσι με ρομφαιαν και με πειναν και με θανατον και με τα θηρια της γης.

⁸And behold, a pale horse, and he who sat on it, his name was Death. Hades or, Hell followed with him. Authority over one fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword, with famine, with death, and by the wild animals of the earth was given to him.

⁹[] Και οτε ηνοιξε την πεμπτην σφραγιδα, ειδον υποκατω του θυσιαστηριου τας ψυχας των εσφαγμενων δια τον λογον του Θεου και δια την μαρτυριαν, την οποιαν ειχον.

⁹When he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed for the Word of God, and for the testimony of the Lamb which they had.

¹⁰Και εκραξαν μετα φωνης μεγαλης, λεγοντες· Εως ποτε, ω Δεσποτα αγιε και αληθινε, δεν κρινεις και εκδικεις το αιμα ημων απο των κατοικουντων επι της γης;

¹⁰They cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, Master, the holy and true, until you judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”

¹¹Και εδοθησαν εις εκαστον στολαι λευκαι, και ερρεθη προς αυτους να αναπαυθωσιν ετι ολιγον καιρον, εωσου συμπληρωθωσι και οι συνδουλοι αυτων και οι αδελφοι αυτων οι μελλοντες να φονευθωσιν ως και αυτοι.

¹¹A long white robe was given to each of them. They were told that they should rest yet for a while, until their fellow servants and their brothers, The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” who would also be killed even as they were, should complete their course.

¹²Και ειδον, οτε ηνοιξε την σφραγιδα την εκτην, και ιδου, εγεινε σεισμος μεγας, και ο ηλιος εγεινε μελας ως σακκος τριχινος και η σεληνη εγεινεν ως αιμα,

¹²I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. The sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became as blood.

¹³και οι αστερες του ουρανου επεσαν εις την γην, καθως η συκη ριπτει τα αωρα συκα αυτης, σειομενη υπο μεγαλου ανεμου,

¹³The stars of the sky fell to the earth, like a fig tree dropping its unripe figs when it is shaken by a great wind.

¹⁴και ο ουρανος απεχωρισθη ως βιβλιον τυλιγμενον, και παν ορος και νησος εκινηθησαν εκ των τοπων αυτων·

¹⁴The sky was removed like a scroll when it is rolled up. Every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

¹⁵και οι βασιλεις της γης και οι μεγιστανες και οι πλουσιοι και οι χιλιαρχοι και οι δυνατοι και πας δουλος και πας ελευθερος εκρυψαν εαυτους εις τα σπηλαια και εις τας πετρας των ορεων,

¹⁵The kings of the earth, the princes, the commanding officers, the rich, the strong, and every slave and free person, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains.

¹⁶και λεγουσι προς τα ορη και προς τας πετρας· Πεσατε εφ' ημας και κρυψατε ημας απο προσωπου του καθημενου επι του θρονου και απο της οργης του Αρνιου,

¹⁶They told the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb,

¹⁷διοτι ηλθεν η ημερα η μεγαλη της οργης αυτου, και τις δυναται να σταθη;

¹⁷for the great day of his wrath has come; and who is able to stand?”
