< 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.
And I saw a scroll on the right hand of Him who is sitting on the throne, written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals;
2 I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll, and to break its seals?"
and I saw a strong messenger crying with a great voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?”
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.
And no one was able in Heaven, nor on the earth, nor under the earth, to open the scroll, nor to behold it.
4 And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the scroll, or to look in it.
And I was weeping much, because no one was found worthy to open and to read the scroll, nor to behold it,
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."
and one of the elders says to me, “Do not weep; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has overcome to open the scroll, and to loose its seven seals”;
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.
and I saw, and behold, in the midst of the throne, and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing as having been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the Seven Spirits of God, which are sent to all the earth,
7 Then he came, and he took it out of the right hand of him who sat on the throne.
and He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who is sitting on the throne.
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.
And when He took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell before the Lamb, each one having harps and golden bowls full of incenses, which are the prayers of the holy ones,
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,
and they sing a new song, saying, “Worthy are You to take the scroll, and to open its seals, because You were slain, and You purchased us to God in Your blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation,
10 and made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they will reign on earth."
and made them [to be] to our God kings and priests, and they will reign on the earth.”
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;
And I saw, and I heard the voice of many messengers around the throne, and the living creatures, and the elders—and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands—
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."
saying with a great voice, “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing!”
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)
And every creature that is in Heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and the things that are on the sea, and all things in them, I heard saying, “To Him who is sitting on the throne and to the Lamb—the blessing, and the honor, and the glory, and the might—through the ages of the ages!” (aiōn g165)
14 The four living creatures were saying, "Amen." The elders fell down and worshiped.
And the four living creatures said, “Amen!” And the twenty-four elders fell down and they worship Him who is living through the ages of the ages.
