Revelation 5

1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne, a book written within and without, sealed with seven seals.

In v desnici njega, ki je sedèl na prestolu, sem videl knjigo, popisano znotraj in na zadnji strani, zapečateno s sedmimi pečati.

2 And I saw a strong angel, proclaiming with a loud voice: Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

In videl sem krepkega angela razglašati z močnim glasom: »Kdo je vreden, da odpre knjigo in da odtrga njene pečate?«

3 And no man was able, neither in heaven, nor on earth, nor under the earth, to open the book, nor to look on it.

In nihče na nebu niti na zemlji niti pod zemljo, ni bil zmožen, da odpre knjigo niti, da pogleda nanjo.

4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open the book, nor to see it.

In zelo sem jokal, ker se ni našel nihče vreden, da odpre in da bere knjigo niti, da pogleda nanjo.

5 And one of the ancients said to me: Weep not; behold the lion of the tribe of Juda, the root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

In eden izmed starešin mi reče: »Ne jokaj; glej, Lev iz Judovega rodu, Davidova Korenina, je prevladal, da odpre knjigo in da razveže njenih sedem pečatov.«

6 And I saw: and behold in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the ancients, a Lamb standing as it were slain, having seven horns and seven eyes: which are the seven Spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth.

In pogledal sem in glej, na sredini prestola in štirih živali in sredi starešin je stalo Jagnje, kot bi bilo zaklano in je imelo sedem rogov in sedem oči, ki so sedem Božjih Duhov, poslanih po vsej zemlji.

7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat on the throne.

In prišlo je ter vzelo knjigo iz desnice tistega, ki je sedel na prestolu.

8 And when he had opened the book, the four living creatures, and the four and twenty ancients fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints:

In ko je vzelo knjigo, so štiri živali in štiriindvajset starešin padli dol pred Jagnjetom in vsi izmed njih so imeli harfe in zlate stekleničke, polne dišav, ki so molitve svetih.

9 And they sung a new canticle, saying: Thou art worthy, O Lord, to take the book, and to open the seals thereof; because thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God, in thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation.

In peli so novo pesem, rekoč: »Vredno si, da vzameš to knjigo in da odpreš njene pečate; kajti bilo si umorjeno in s svojo krvjo si nas odkupilo Bogu izmed vsakega sorodstva in jezika in ljudstva in naroda

10 And hast made us to our God a kingdom and priests, and we shall reign on the earth.

in si nas naredilo [za] kralje in duhovnike pri našemu Bogu, in mi bomo kraljevali na zemlji.«

11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne, and the living creatures, and the ancients; and the number of them was thousands of thousands,

In zagledal sem in zaslišal glas mnogih angelov naokoli prestola in živali in starešin, in njihovo število je bilo desettisočkrat deset tisoč in tisočev tisoči,

12 Saying with a loud voice: The Lamb that was slain is worthy to receive power, and divinity, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and benediction.

ki so z močnim glasom govorili: »Vredno je Jagnje, ki je bilo zaklano, da prejme oblast in bogastva in modrost in moč in čast in slavo in blagoslov.«

13 And every creature, which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them: I heard all saying: To him that sitteth on the throne, and to the Lamb, benediction, and honour, and glory, and power, for ever and ever. (aiōn g165)

In vsako ustvarjeno bitje, ki je na nebu in na zemlji in pod zemljo in takšna, kot so v morju in vse, ki so v njem, sem slišal govoriti: »Blagoslov in čast in slava in oblast naj bo njemu, ki sedi na prestolu in Jagnjetu na veke vekov.« (aiōn g165)

14 And the four living creatures said: Amen. And the four and twenty ancients fell down on their faces, and adored him that liveth for ever and ever.

In štiri živali so rekle: »Amen.« In štiriindvajset starešin je padlo dol in oboževalo tistega, ki živi na veke vekov.
