< Revelation 5 >

1 And I saw at the right hand of him who sits on the throne a book, written inside and outside, sealed with seven seals.
Then I saw in the right hand of him who sits on the throne a scroll written on the inside and outside, sealed with seven seals.
2 And I saw a powerful agent proclaiming in a great voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals of it?
And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?”
3 And none in heaven above nor on the earth nor under the earth was able to open the book or to see in it.
But no one in heaven above or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or look into it.
4 And I wept much because none was found worthy to open the book or to see in it.
So I began to weep loudly because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look into it.
5 And one of the elders says to me, Weep not, behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, overcame to open the book and the seven seals of it.
Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered; he is the one who can open the scroll and its seven seals.”
6 And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, like it had been killed, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God being sent forth into all the earth.
Then I saw a Lamb that looked like it had been slain; he was standing among the elders in the midst of the throne and the four living creatures. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.
7 And he came and took it out of the right hand of him who sits on the throne.
He went and took the scroll out of the right hand of him who was sitting on the throne.
8 And when he took the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp and golden bowls containing incense, which are the prayers of the sanctified.
When he took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each of them had a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
9 And they sing a new song, saying, Thou are worthy to take the book and to open the seals of it, because thou were killed and purchased us from God by thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation.
And they sang a new song: “Worthy are yoʋ to take the scroll and open its seals, for yoʋ were slain, and by yoʋr blood yoʋ redeemed us for God out of every tribe, tongue, people, and nation.
10 And thou made them kings and priests to our God, and they will reign over the earth.
Yoʋ have made them kings and priests to our God, and they will reign on the earth.”
11 And I looked, and I heard as a voice of many agents all around the throne and the living creatures and the elders. And the number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, and thousands of thousands,
Then I looked, and I heard something like the voice of many angels coming from around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders. Their number was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands,
12 saying with a great voice, Worthy is the Lamb that has been killed to receive the power, and wealth, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing!
and they were saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches, wisdom and strength, honor, glory, and blessing!”
13 And every creature that is in the heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and is in the sea, and things in them all, I heard saying, The blessing, and the honor, and the glory, and the dominion is to him who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb, into the ages of the ages. Truly! (aiōn g165)
Then I heard every creature in heaven, on earth, under the earth, in the sea, and all that is in them, saying, “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor, glory and power, forever and ever! Amen.” (aiōn g165)
14 And the four living creatures were saying the Truly. And the elders fell down and worshiped.
And I heard the four living creatures saying, “Amen.” And the elders fell down and worshiped.
