Revelation 5
1 I saw the one sitting on the throne holding a scroll in his right hand. The scroll was written on both sides and was sealed with seven seals.
我看見在那坐於寶座者的右手上，有一書卷，內外都寫著字，用七個印密封著。
2 I saw a powerful angel shouting in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?”
我又看見一位強有力的天使大聲宣佈說：「誰當得起展開這書卷，開啟它的印呢？」
3 Nobody in heaven, or on earth, or under the earth was able to open the scroll and read it.
但是，不論在天上、地上、或地下，沒有一個能展開那書卷的，沒有能閱讀它的。
4 I cried many tears because nobody could be found who was worthy to open the book and read it.
我就大哭起來，因為沒有找著一位當得起展開那書卷，和閱讀它的。
5 One of the elders spoke to me and said, “Don't cry. Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the descendant of David, has won the battle and can open the scroll and its seven seals.”
長老中有一位對我說：「不要哭！看，那出於猶大支派中的獅子，達味的苗裔已得了勝利，他能展開那書卷和那七個印。」
6 I saw a Lamb that looked as if it had been killed standing in the center by the throne and the four living creatures, among the elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes that are the seven Spirits of God that are sent out to all the earth.
我就看見在寶座和四個活物中間，並在長老們中間，站著一隻羔羊，好像被宰殺過的，他有七個角和七隻眼：那眼睛就是被派往全地的天主的七神。
7 He went and took the scroll from the right hand of the one that sat on the throne.
他於是前來，從坐在寶座上的那位右手中接了那書卷。
8 When he had taken 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 believers.
當他接那書卷的時候，那四個活物和那二十四位長老，都俯伏在羔羊前，各拿著弦琴和盛滿了香料的金盂－－這香料即是眾聖徒的祈禱，
9 They sang a new song, “You are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals, for you were slain and with your blood you redeemed for God people from every tribe, language, people, and nation.
並唱新歌說：「惟有你當得起接受那書卷和開啟它的印，因為你曾被宰殺，曾用你的血，從各支派、各異語、各民族、各邦國中，把人贖來歸於天主，
10 You made them into a kingdom and priests for our God, and they will reign on the earth.”
並使他們成為國度和司祭，事奉我們的天主；他們必要為王，統治世界。」
11 As I looked I heard the voices of millions of angels around the throne, together with the living creatures and the elders,
我又看見，且聽見在寶座、活物和長老的四周，有許多天使的聲音，他們的數目千千萬萬，
12 shouting loudly together: “The Lamb that was slain is worthy to receive authority, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing.”
大聲喊說：「被宰殺的羔羊堪享權能、富裕、智慧、勇毅、尊威、光榮、和讚頌！」
13 Then I heard every creature in heaven, on earth, and under the earth, in the sea—every creature everywhere—replying: “To the one who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb be blessing, honor, glory, and authority, for ever and ever.” (aiōn g165)
此後我又聽見一切受造物，即天上、地上、地下和海中的萬物都說：「願讚頌、尊威、光榮和權力，歸於坐在寶座上的那位和羔羊，至於無窮之世！」 (aiōn g165)
14 The four living creatures said, “Amen!” and the elders fell down and worshiped.
那四個活物就答說：「阿們。」長老們遂俯伏朝拜。
