Otkrivenje 5
1 I vidjeh: na desnici Onoga koji sjedi na prijestolju - knjiga, iznutra i izvana ispisana, zapečaćena sa sedam pečata!
I saw that there was a scroll in the right hand of the one who was sitting on the throne. The scroll was written on its outside as well as on its inside, and it was sealed {Someone had written on the outside as well as on the inside of the scroll and sealed it} with seven seals.
2 I vidjeh snažna anđela gdje iza glasa proglašuje: “Tko je dostojan otvoriti knjigu i otpečatiti pečate njezine?”
I saw a strong angel who was announcing in a loud voice, “(The person who is worthy to break the seals of the scroll and then to open it should come to do it!/Who is worthy to break the seals of the scroll and then to open it?)” [RHQ]
3 I nitko - ni na nebu, ni na zemlji, ni pod zemljom - nije mogao otvoriti knjige i pogledati u nju.
But no created being in heaven nor any created being on the earth nor any created being under the earth was able to open the scroll and see what was written on it.
4 Briznem u plač jer se nitko ne nađe dostojan otvoriti knjigu i pogledati u nju.
I cried loudly because there was no one worthy to do that.
5 A jedan od starješina reče: “Ne plači! Evo, pobijedi Lav iz plemena Judina, Korijen Davidov, on će otvoriti knjigu i sedam pečata njezinih.
But one of the elders said to me, “Do not cry any longer! Look, the one who is called the Lion from the tribe of Judah, the Messiah who is the descendant of King David, has overcome Satan! As a result, he is worthy to break the seven seals on the scroll and open it!”
6 I vidjeh: posred prijestolja i četiriju bića i posred starješina stoji, kao zaklan, Jaganjac sa sedam rogova i sedam očiju, to jest sedam duhova Božjih, po svoj zemlji poslanih.
Then I saw Jesus, the one who is like a [MET] sacrificial lamb, standing there. He stood near the throne, in the midst of the four living creatures and the elders. It appeared that he had been killed {that people had killed him}, but he was alive again. He had seven horns [on his head], and he had seven eyes that symbolize the Spirit of God who has all kinds of power (OR, who is also symbolized as seven spirits). [He] sends [God’s] Spirit out into all the earth.
7 On pristupi te iz desnice Onoga koji sjedi na prijestolju uzme knjigu.
He came and took the scroll from the right hand of the one who sits on the throne.
8 A kad on uze knjigu, četiri bića i dvadeset i četiri starješine padoše ničice pred Jaganjca. U svakoga bijahu citre i zlatne posudice pune kada, to jest molitava svetačkih.
When he took the scroll, the four living [creatures] and the 24 elders (prostrated themselves/knelt down) before [Jesus], the [one who is like a] lamb, [to worship him]. They each had a harp, and they had golden bowls full of incense that [represents] the prayers of God’s people.
9 Pjevaju oni pjesmu novu: “Dostojan si uzeti knjigu i otvoriti pečate njezine jer si bio zaklan i otkupio, krvlju svojom, za Boga ljude iz svakoga plemena i jezika, puka i naroda;
The living [creatures] and the elders sang a new song. They sang: You are worthy to receive the scroll and to open its seals, because you were killed, and because you redeemed/bought people for God from every tribe, language [MTY], people-group, and nation with the blood that flowed from your body when you died.
10 učinio si ih Bogu našemu kraljevstvom i svećenicima i kraljevat će na zemlji.”
You have caused them to become a people over whom our God rules, and to become priests who serve him, and they will rule on [MTY] the earth.
11 I vidjeh, i začuh glas anđela mnogih uokolo prijestolja, i bića i starješina. Bijaše ih na mirijade mirijada i tisuće tisuća.
As I [continued to] look, I heard the voices of many angels around the throne and around the living [creatures] and the elders. There were millions of them, a [crowd so large that no one could count them].
12 Klicahu iza glasa: “Dostojan je zaklani Jaganjac primiti moć, i bogatstvo, i mudrost, i snagu, i čast, i slavu, i blagoslov!”
They were singing in a loud voice: “The one who is like a lamb was killed {whom his enemies killed} but he became alive again. He is worthy that all created beings acknowledge that he is infinitely powerful, infinitely rich, infinitely wise, and infinitely strong! He is worthy of being honored and praised by all created beings!”
13 I začujem: sve stvorenje, i na nebu, i na zemlji, i pod zemljom, i u moru - sve na njima i u njima govori: “Onomu koji sjedi na prijestolju i Jaganjcu blagoslov i čast, i slava i vlast u vijeke vjekova!” (aiōn g165)
I also heard every creature that is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the ocean, every creature in all those places, saying (OR, singing): “We must forever praise and honor the one who sits on the throne and the one who is like a lamb, May they reign with complete power forever!” (aiōn g165)
14 I četiri bića ponavljahu: “Amen!” A starješine padnu ničice i poklone se.
The four living [creatures] said, “(Amen!/May it be so!)” Then the elders prostrated themselves and worshipped [God and Jesus].
