20:1
Καὶ ἴδον ἄγγελον καταβαίνοντα ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, ἔχοντα τὴν κλεῖν τῆς ἀβύσσου καὶ ἅλυσιν μεγάλην ἐπὶ τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ.
Et vidi angelum descendentem de caelo, habentem clavem abyssi, et catenam magnam in manu sua.
ወእምዝ ወረደ ካልእ መልአክ እምሰማይ ወይጸውር መራኁተ ፀሓይ ወዐበይት መዋቅሕት ውስተ እዴሁ።
I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.
20:2
καὶ ἐκράτησεν τὸν δράκοντα, ὁ ὄφις ὁ ἀρχαῖος, ὅ ἐστιν διάβολος καὶ ὁ Σατανᾶς, καὶ ἔδησεν αὐτὸν χίλια ἔτη,
Et apprehendit draconem, serpentem antiquum, qui est diabolus, et Satanas, et ligavit eum per annos mille :
ወአኀዞ ለዝክቱ አርዌ ዘውእቱ ቀዳማዊ ወውእቱ ጋኔን ሰይጣን ወአሰሮ ዐሠርተ ምእተ ዓመተ።
He seized the dragon, the old serpent, who is the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole inhabited earth, and bound him for a thousand years,
20:3
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 αὐτὸν λυθῆναι μικρὸν χρόνον.
et misit eum in abyssum, et clausit, et signavit super illum ut non seducat amplius gentes, donec consummentur mille anni : et post haec oportet illum solvi modico tempore.
ወአውደቆ ውስተ ማዕምቅ ወዐጸወ ላዕሌሁ በማኅተም ከመ ኢያስሕት አሕዛበ እስከ አመ ይትፌጸም ዝንቱ ዐሠርቱ ምእት ዓመት ወእምድኅረ ዝንቱ ሀለዎ ይትፈታሕ ኅዳጠ መዋዕለ።
and cast him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more until the thousand years were finished. After this, he must be freed for a short time.
20:4
Καὶ ἴδον 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 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.
Et vidi sedes, et sederunt super eas, et judicium datum est illis : et animas decollatorum propter testimonium Jesu, et propter verbum Dei, et qui non adoraverunt bestiam, neque imaginem ejus, nec acceperunt caracterem ejus in frontibus, aut in manibus suis, et vixerunt, et regnaverunt cum Christo mille annis.
ወእምዝ ርኢኩ መናብርተ ወነበረ ላዕሌሆሙ ወልደ ዕጓለ እመሕያው ወአግብአ ሎሙ ፍትሐ በእንተ ነፍሶሙ ለእለ ተቀትሉ በእንተ ስሙ ለኢየሱስ ወበእንተ ቃለ እግዚአብሔር ወእለሰ ኢሰገዱ ለዝክቱ አርዌ ወኢለምስሉ ወኢጸሐፉ ትእምርቶ ውስተ ፍጽሞሙ ወኢውስተ እደዊሆሙ እሙንቱ የሐይዉ ወይነግሡ ምስለ ክርስቶስ ዐሠርተ ምእተ ዓመተ።
I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and such as didn’t worship the beast nor his image, and didn’t receive the mark on their forehead and on their hand. They lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
20:5
οἱ λοιποὶ τῶν νεκρῶν οὐκ ἔζησαν ἄχρι τελεσθῇ τὰ χίλια ἔτη. αὕτη ἡ ἀνάστασις ἡ πρώτη.
Ceteri mortuorum non vixerunt, donec consummentur mille anni. Haec est resurrectio prima.
ወባዕዳንሰ ምዉታን ኢይትነሥኡ እስከ አመ ይትፌጸም ዝንቱ ዐሠርቱ ምእት ዓመት።
The rest of the dead didn’t live until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
20:6
μακάριος καὶ ἅγιος ὁ ἔχων μέρος ἐν τῇ ἀναστάσει τῇ πρώτῃ· ἐπὶ τούτων ὁ δεύτερος θάνατος οὐκ ἔχει ἐξουσίαν, ἀλλὰ ἔσονται ἱερεῖς τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ τοῦ Χριστοῦ, καὶ βασιλεύσουσιν μετ’ αὐτοῦ τὰ χίλια ἔτη.
Beatus, et sanctus, qui habet partem in resurrectione prima : in his secunda mors non habet potestatem : sed erunt sacerdotes Dei et Christi, et regnabunt cum illo mille annis.
ወዛቲ ይእቲ ቀዳሚት ሕይወት ብፁዕ ወቅዱስ ውእቱ ዘረከበ ክፍለ በትንሣኤ እንተ ትቀድም መጺአ እስመ አልቦ እንከ ዳግመ ሥልጣነ ሞት ላዕለ እሉ እስመ ይከውኑ ካህናቲሁ ለእግዚአብሔር ወለክርስቶስ ወይነግሡ ምስሌሁ ዐሠርተ ምእተ ዓመተ።
Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over these, the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with him one thousand years.
20:7
Καὶ ὅταν τελεσθῇ τὰ χίλια ἔτη, λυθήσεται ὁ Σατανᾶς ἐκ τῆς φυλακῆς αὐτοῦ,
Et cum consummati fuerint mille anni, solvetur Satanas de carcere suo, et exibit, et seducet gentes, quae sunt super quatuor angulos terrae, Gog, et Magog, et congregabit eos in praelium, quorum numerus est sicut arena maris.
ወሶበ ኀልቀ ዐሠርቱ ምእት ዓመት ይትፈታሕ ሰይጣን እምነ ሞቅሑ።
And after the thousand years, Satan will be released from his prison
20:8
καὶ ἐξελεύσεται πλανῆσαι τὰ ἔθνη τὰ ἐν ταῖς τέσσαρσιν γωνίαις τῆς γῆς, τὸν Γὼγ καὶ Μαγώγ, συναγαγεῖν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸν πόλεμον, ὧν ὁ ἀριθμὸς αὐτῶν ὡς ἡ ἄμμος τῆς θαλάσσης.
Et ascenderunt super latitudinem terrae, et circuierunt castra sanctorum, et civitatem dilectam.
ወይወፅእ ያስሕቶሙ ለአሕዛብ እለ ውስተ አርባዕቱ መኣዝኒሃ ለምድር ወያስተጋብኦሙ ለጎግ ወለማጎግ ከመ ያስተቃትሎሙ ወኍልቆሙሰ ከመ ኆፃ ባሕር።
and he will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war, whose number is as the sand of the sea.
20:9
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·
Et descendit ignis a Deo de caelo, et devoravit eos : et diabolus, qui seducebat eos, missus est in stagnum ignis, et sulphuris, ubi et bestia
ወዐርጉ ውስተ ስፍሓ ለምድር ወዐገትዋ ለትዕይንቶሙ ለቅዱሳን ወለሀገር ቅድስት ወእምዝ ወረደት እሳት እምሰማይ እምኀበ እግዚአብሔር ወበልዐቶሙ።
They went up over the width of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. Fire came down out of heaven from God and devoured them.
20:10
καὶ ὁ διάβολος ὁ πλανῶν αὐτοὺς ἐβλήθη εἰς τὴν λίμνην τοῦ πυρὸς καὶ τοῦ θείου, ὅπου καὶ τὸ θηρίον καὶ ὁ ψευδοπροφήτης, καὶ βασανισθήσονται ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτὸς εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων.
et pseudopropheta cruciabuntur die ac nocte in saecula saeculorum.
ወለዝክቱኒ ሰይጣን ዘያስሕቶሙ ወደይዎ ውስተ ዐዘቅተ እሳት ወተይ ኀበ ሀሎ ዝክቱ አርዌ ወሐሳዌ ነቢይ ከመ ይደየኑ መዐልተ ወሌሊተ እስከ ለዓለመ ዓለም።
The devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet are also. They will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
20:11
Καὶ εἶδον θρόνον μέγαν λευκὸν καὶ τὸν καθήμενον ἐπ’ αὐτόν, οὗ ἀπὸ τοῦ προσώπου ἔφυγεν ἡ γῆ καὶ ὁ οὐρανός, καὶ τόπος οὐχ εὑρέθη αὐτοῖς.
Et vidi thronum magnum candidum, et sedentem super eum, a cujus conspectu fugit terra, et caelum, et locus non est inventus eis.
ወእምዝ ርኢኩ መንበረ ዐቢየ ወጸዓዳ ወእምዘ ይነብር ዲቤሁ ጐዩ እምቅድመ ገጹ ሰማይ ወምድር ወኀጥኡ መካነ።
I saw a great white throne and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the sky fled away. There was found no place for them.
20:12
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.
Et vidi mortuos, magnos et pusillos, stantes in conspectu throni, et libri aperti sunt : et alius liber apertus est, qui est vitae : et judicati sunt mortui ex his, quae scripta erant in libris, secundum opera ipsorum :
ወእምዝ መጽኡ ኵሎሙ ምዉታን ዐቢያን ወንኡሳን ወቆሙ ቅድመ መንበሩ ወከሠቱ ኵሎ መጻሕፍተ ወለመጽሐፈ ሕይወትሰ እንተ ባሕቲታ ከሠትዋ ወተኰነኑ እልክቱ ምዉታን በከመ ጽሑፍ ውስተ ዝንቱ መጽሐፍ በከመ ገብሩ።
I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.
20:13
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.
et dedit mare mortuos, qui in eo erant : et mors et infernus dederunt mortuos suos, qui in ipsis erant : et judicatum est de singulis secundum opera ipsorum.
ወአግብአት ባሕርኒ ኵሎ ምዉታነ እለ ውስቴታ ወአግብኡ ሲኦል ወሞት ዘኀቤሆሙ ምዉታነ ወአግብአት ምድርኒ እለ ሀለዉ ውስቴታ ምዉታነ ወተኰነኑ ኵሎሙ በከመ ምግባሮሙ።
The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works.
20:14
καὶ ὁ θάνατος καὶ ὁ ᾅδης ἐβλήθησαν εἰς τὴν λίμνην τοῦ πυρός. οὗτος ὁ θάνατος ὁ δεύτερός ἐστιν, ἡ λίμνη τοῦ πυρός.
Et infernus et mors missi sunt in stagnum ignis. Haec est mors secunda.
ወወደይዎሙ ለሲኦል ወለሞት ውስተ ዐዘቅተ እሳት ዘምልእት ተየ ወሞትሰ ዳግም ገሃነም ዘእሳት ውእቱ።
Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.
20:15
καὶ εἴ τις οὐχ εὑρέθη ἐν τῇ βίβλῳ τῆς ζωῆς γεγραμμένος ἐβλήθη εἰς τὴν λίμνην τοῦ πυρός.
Et qui non inventus est in libro vitae scriptus, missus est in stagnum ignis.
ወለኵሉ ዘኢይትረከብ ጽሑፈ ውስተ መጽሐፈ ሕይወት ይወድይዎ ውስተ ገሃነም ዘእሳት።
If anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.
