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 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 No one in heaven above, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the scroll, or to look in 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 And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the scroll, or to look in 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 said to me, "Do not weep. Look, the Lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, 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，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 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 Then he came, and he took it out of the right hand of him who 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 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.
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, 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,
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 and made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they will reign on 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 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 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 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)
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 were saying, "Amen." The elders fell down and worshiped.
那四個活物就答說：「阿們。」長老們遂俯伏朝拜。
