Revelation

Chapter 20
1
Phonetic (Greek): Kai eidon angelon katabainonta ek toy oyranoy, echonta ten klein tes abyssou kai halysin megalen epi ten cheira aytoy.
Edified Edition (EDE)And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

Καὶ εἶδον ἄγγελον καταβαίνοντα ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, ἔχοντα τὴν κλεῖν τῆς ἀβύσσου καὶ ἅλυσιν μεγάλην ἐπὶ τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ.

2
Phonetic (Greek): kai ekratesen ton drakonta, ⸂ho ophis ho archaios⸃, hos estin Diabolos kai ho ⸀Satanas, kai edesen ayton chilia ete,
Edified Edition (EDE)And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, who is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

καὶ ἐκράτησεν τὸν δράκοντα, ⸂ὁ ὄφις ὁ ἀρχαῖος⸃, ὅς ἐστιν Διάβολος καὶ ὁ ⸀Σατανᾶς, καὶ ἔδησεν αὐτὸν χίλια ἔτη,

3
Phonetic (Greek): kai ebalen ayton eis ten abysson, kai ekleisen kai esphragisen epano aytoy, hina me ⸀planesῃ eti ta ethne, achri telesthῇ ta chilia ete· ⸀meta tayta dei ⸂lythenai ayton⸃ mikron chronon.
Edified Edition (EDE)And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

καὶ ἔβαλεν αὐτὸν εἰς τὴν ἄβυσσον, καὶ ἔκλεισεν καὶ ἐσφράγισεν ἐπάνω αὐτοῦ, ἵνα μὴ ⸀πλανήσῃ ἔτι τὰ ἔθνη, ἄχρι τελεσθῇ τὰ χίλια ἔτη· ⸀μετὰ ταῦτα δεῖ ⸂λυθῆναι αὐτὸν⸃ μικρὸν χρόνον.

4
Phonetic (Greek): Kai eidon thronous, kai ekathisan epʼ aytoys, kai krima edothe aytois, kai tas psychas ton pepelekismenon dia ten martyrian Ἰesoy kai dia ton logon toy theoy, kai ohitines oy prosekynesan to therion oyde ten eikona aytoy kai oyk elabon to charagma epi to metopon kai epi ten cheira ayton· kai ezesan kai ebasileusan meta toy christoy ⸀chilia ete.
Edified Edition (EDE)And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgement was given to them: and I saw the souls of those who were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and who had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Καὶ εἶδον θρόνους, καὶ ἐκάθισαν ἐπʼ αὐτούς, καὶ κρίμα ἐδόθη αὐτοῖς, καὶ τὰς ψυχὰς τῶν πεπελεκισμένων διὰ τὴν μαρτυρίαν Ἰησοῦ καὶ διὰ τὸν λόγον τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ οἵτινες οὐ προσεκύνησαν τὸ θηρίον οὐδὲ τὴν εἰκόνα αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἔλαβον τὸ χάραγμα ἐπὶ τὸ μέτωπον καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν χεῖρα αὐτῶν· καὶ ἔζησαν καὶ ἐβασίλευσαν μετὰ τοῦ χριστοῦ ⸀χίλια ἔτη.

5
Phonetic (Greek): ⸀ohi loipoi ton nekron oyk ezesan achri telesthῇ ta chilia ete. ahyte he anastasis he prote.
Edified Edition (EDE)But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

⸀οἱ λοιποὶ τῶν νεκρῶν οὐκ ἔζησαν ἄχρι τελεσθῇ τὰ χίλια ἔτη. αὕτη ἡ ἀνάστασις ἡ πρώτη.

6
Phonetic (Greek): makarios kai hagios ho echon meros en tῇ anastasei tῇ protῃ· epi toyton ho deyteros thanatos oyk echei exousian, allʼ esontai hiereis toy theoy kai toy christoy, kai basileysousin metʼ aytoy ⸀chilia ete.
Edified Edition (EDE)Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection: on such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

μακάριος καὶ ἅγιος ὁ ἔχων μέρος ἐν τῇ ἀναστάσει τῇ πρώτῃ· ἐπὶ τούτων ὁ δεύτερος θάνατος οὐκ ἔχει ἐξουσίαν, ἀλλʼ ἔσονται ἱερεῖς τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ τοῦ χριστοῦ, καὶ βασιλεύσουσιν μετʼ αὐτοῦ ⸀χίλια ἔτη.

7
Phonetic (Greek): Kai hotan telesthῇ ta chilia ete, lythesetai ho Satanas ek tes phylakes aytoy,
Edified Edition (EDE)And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

Καὶ ὅταν τελεσθῇ τὰ χίλια ἔτη, λυθήσεται ὁ Σατανᾶς ἐκ τῆς φυλακῆς αὐτοῦ,

8
Phonetic (Greek): kai exeleysetai planesai ta ethne ta en tais tessarsi goniais tes ges, ton Gog ⸀kai Magog, synagagein aytoys eis ton polemon, hon ho arithmos ⸀ayton hos he ammos tes thalasses.
Edified Edition (EDE)And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

καὶ ἐξελεύσεται πλανῆσαι τὰ ἔθνη τὰ ἐν ταῖς τέσσαρσι γωνίαις τῆς γῆς, τὸν Γὼγ ⸀καὶ Μαγώγ, συναγαγεῖν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸν πόλεμον, ὧν ὁ ἀριθμὸς ⸀αὐτῶν ὡς ἡ ἄμμος τῆς θαλάσσης.

9
Phonetic (Greek): kai anebesan epi to platos tes ges, kai ⸀ekykleusan ten parembolen ton hagion kai ten polin ten egapemenen. kai katebe pyr ⸂ek toy oyranoy⸃ kai katephagen aytoys·
Edified Edition (EDE)And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and surrounded the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

καὶ ἀνέβησαν ἐπὶ τὸ πλάτος τῆς γῆς, καὶ ⸀ἐκύκλευσαν τὴν παρεμβολὴν τῶν ἁγίων καὶ τὴν πόλιν τὴν ἠγαπημένην. καὶ κατέβη πῦρ ⸂ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ⸃ καὶ κατέφαγεν αὐτούς·

10
Phonetic (Greek): kai ho diabolos ho planon aytoys eblethe eis ten limnen toy pyros kai theiou, hopou kai to therion kai ho pseudoprophetes, kai basanisthesontai hemeras kai nyktos eis toys aionas ton aionon.
Edified Edition (EDE)And the devil who deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever.

καὶ ὁ διάβολος ὁ πλανῶν αὐτοὺς ἐβλήθη εἰς τὴν λίμνην τοῦ πυρὸς καὶ θείου, ὅπου καὶ τὸ θηρίον καὶ ὁ ψευδοπροφήτης, καὶ βασανισθήσονται ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτὸς εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων.

11
Phonetic (Greek): Kai eidon thronon megan leukon kai ton kathemenon ⸂epʼ aytoy⸃, ohy apo ⸀toy prosopou ephygen he ge kai ho oyranos, kai topos oych ehyrethe aytois.
Edified Edition (EDE)And I saw a great white throne, and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

Καὶ εἶδον θρόνον μέγαν λευκὸν καὶ τὸν καθήμενον ⸂ἐπʼ αὐτοῦ⸃, οὗ ἀπὸ ⸀τοῦ προσώπου ἔφυγεν ἡ γῆ καὶ ὁ οὐρανός, καὶ τόπος οὐχ εὑρέθη αὐτοῖς.

12
Phonetic (Greek): kai eidon toys nekroys, toys megalous kai toys mikroys, hestotas enopion toy thronou, kai biblia enoichthesan· kai allo biblion enoichthe, ho estin tes zoes· kai ekrithesan ohi nekroi ek ton gegrammenon en tois bibliois kata ta erga ayton.
Edified Edition (EDE)And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

καὶ εἶδον τοὺς νεκρούς, τοὺς μεγάλους καὶ τοὺς μικρούς, ἑστῶτας ἐνώπιον τοῦ θρόνου, καὶ βιβλία ἠνοίχθησαν· καὶ ἄλλο βιβλίον ἠνοίχθη, ὅ ἐστιν τῆς ζωῆς· καὶ ἐκρίθησαν οἱ νεκροὶ ἐκ τῶν γεγραμμένων ἐν τοῖς βιβλίοις κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν.

13
Phonetic (Greek): kai edoken he thalassa toys nekroys toys en aytῇ, kai ho thanatos kai ho hades edokan toys nekroys toys en aytois, kai ekrithesan hekastos kata ta erga ayton.
Edified Edition (EDE)And the sea gave up the dead who were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead who were in them: and they were judged every person according to their works.

καὶ ἔδωκεν ἡ θάλασσα τοὺς νεκροὺς τοὺς ἐν αὐτῇ, καὶ ὁ θάνατος καὶ ὁ ᾅδης ἔδωκαν τοὺς νεκροὺς τοὺς ἐν αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἐκρίθησαν ἕκαστος κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν.

14
Phonetic (Greek): kai ho thanatos kai ho hades eblethesan eis ten limnen toy pyros. ohytos ho ⸂thanatos ho deyteros⸃ estin, he limne toy pyros.
Edified Edition (EDE)And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

καὶ ὁ θάνατος καὶ ὁ ᾅδης ἐβλήθησαν εἰς τὴν λίμνην τοῦ πυρός. οὗτος ὁ ⸂θάνατος ὁ δεύτερός⸃ ἐστιν, ἡ λίμνη τοῦ πυρός.

15
Phonetic (Greek): kai ei tis oych ehyrethe en ⸂tῇ biblῳ⸃ tes zoes gegrammenos, eblethe eis ten limnen toy pyros.
Edified Edition (EDE)And whoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

καὶ εἴ τις οὐχ εὑρέθη ἐν ⸂τῇ βίβλῳ⸃ τῆς ζωῆς γεγραμμένος, ἐβλήθη εἰς τὴν λίμνην τοῦ πυρός.
