Revelation 5
1 I saw, in the right hand of him who sat on the throne, a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed shut with seven seals.
我看見坐寶座的右手中有書卷，裏外都寫着字，用七印封嚴了。
2 I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll, and to break its seals?"
我又看見一位大力的天使大聲宣傳說：「有誰配展開那書卷，揭開那七印呢？」
3 No one in heaven above, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the scroll, or to look in it.
在天上、地上、地底下，沒有能展開、能觀看那書卷的。
4 And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the scroll, or to look in it.
因為沒有配展開、配觀看那書卷的，我就大哭。
5 One of the elders said to me, "Do not weep. Look, the Lion who is of the tribe of Yehudah, the Root of Dawid, has overcome so that he can open the scroll and loose its seven seals."
長老中有一位對我說：「不要哭！看哪，猶大支派中的獅子，大衛的根，他已得勝，能以展開那書卷，揭開那七印。」
6 I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth.
我又看見寶座與四活物，並長老之中有羔羊站立，像是被殺過的，有七角七眼，就是上帝的七靈，奉差遣往普天下去的。
7 Then he came, and he took it out of the right hand of him who sat on the throne.
這羔羊前來，從坐寶座的右手裏拿了書卷。
8 Now when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
他既拿了書卷，四活物和二十四位長老就俯伏在羔羊面前，各拿着琴和盛滿了香的金爐；這香就是眾聖徒的祈禱。
9 They sang a new song, saying, "You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals: for you were killed, and redeemed for God with your blood those from every tribe, language, people, and nation,
他們唱新歌，說： 你配拿書卷， 配揭開七印； 因為你曾被殺， 用自己的血 從各族、各方、各民、各國中買了人來， 叫他們歸於上帝，
10 and made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they will reign on earth."
又叫他們成為國民， 作祭司歸於上帝， 在地上執掌王權。
11 I saw, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, and thousands of thousands;
我又看見且聽見，寶座與活物並長老的周圍有許多天使的聲音；他們的數目有千千萬萬，
12 saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb who has been killed to receive the power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing."
大聲說： 曾被殺的羔羊是配得 權柄、豐富、智慧、能力、 尊貴、榮耀、頌讚的。
13 I heard every created thing which is in heaven, on the earth, under the earth, on the sea, and everything in them, saying, "To him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion, forever and ever." (aiōn g165)
我又聽見在天上、地上、地底下、滄海裏，和天地間一切所有被造之物，都說： 但願頌讚、尊貴、榮耀、權勢 都歸給坐寶座的和羔羊， 直到永永遠遠！ (aiōn g165)
14 The four living creatures were saying, "Amen." The elders fell down and worshiped.
四活物就說：「阿們！」眾長老也俯伏敬拜。
