New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26) |

|
| 20 1 | Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven with the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hands. | The Thousand Years Re.20.1-6 | Καὶ εἶδον ἀγγελον καταβαίνοντα ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, ἐχοντα τὴν κλεῖν τῆς ἀβύσσου καὶ ἀλυσιν μεγάλην ἐπὶ τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ. |
|
| 2 | He seized the dragon, that serpent of old, the Devil or Satan, and chained him up for a thousand years; | | καὶ ἐκράτησεν τὸν δράκοντα, ὁ ὀφις ὁ ἀρχαῖος, ὁς ἐστιν διάβολος καὶ ὁ Σατανᾶς, καὶ ἐδησεν αὐτὸν χίλια ἐτη, |
|
| 3 | he threw him into the abyss, shutting and sealing it over him, so that he might seduce the nations no more till the thousand years were over. After that he must be let loose for a short while.
| | καὶ ἐβαλεν αὐτὸν εἰς τὴν ἀβυσσον καὶ ἐκλεισεν καὶ ἐσφράγισεν ἐπάνω αὐτοῦ ἵνα μὴ πλανήσῃ ἐτι τὰ ἐθνη ἀχρι τελεσθῇ τὰ χίλια ἐτη· μετὰ ταῦτα δεῖ λυθῆναι αὐτὸν μικρ ὸν χρόνον. |
|
| 4 | Then I saw thrones, and upon them sat those to whom judgement was committed. I could see the souls of those who had been beheaded for the sake of God's word and their testimony to Jesus, those who had not worshipped the beast and its image or received its mark on forehead or hand. These came to life again and reigned with Christ for a thousand years, | | Καὶ εἶδον θρόνους, καὶ ἐκάθισαν ἐπ' αὐτούς, καὶ κρίμα ἐδόθη αὐτοῖς, καὶ τὰς ψυχὰς τῶν πεπελεκισμένων διὰ τὴν μαρτυρίαν Ἰησοῦ καὶ διὰ τὸν λόγον τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ οἱτινες οὐ προσεκύνησαν τὸ θηρίον οὐδε τὴν εἰκόνα αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἔκαβον τὸ χάραγμα τὸ μέτωπον καὶ |
|
| 5 | though the rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were over. This is the first resurrection. | | οἱ λοιποὶ τῶν νεκρῶν οὐκ ἐζησαν ἀχρι τελεσθῇ τὰ χίλια ἐτη. αὑτη ἡ ἀνάστασις ἡ πρώτη. |
|
| 6 | Happy indeed, and one of God's own people, is the man who shares in this first resurrection! Upon such the second death has no claim; but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him for the thousand years.
| | μακάριος καὶ ἀγιος ὁ ἐχων μέρος ἐν τῇ ἀναστάσει τῇ πρώτῃ· ἐπὶ τούτων ὁ δεύτερος θάνατος οὐκ ἐχει ἐξουσίαν, ἀλλ' ἐσονται ἱερεῖς τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ τοῦ Χριστοῦ, καὶ βασιλευ σουσιν μετ' αὐτοῦ τὰ χίλια ἔτη. |
