Revelation 5

1 Then I saw at the right hand of him who was seated on the throne a book, with writing inside and out, and sealed with seven seals;

And I saw at the right hand of him who sits on the throne a book, written inside and outside, sealed with seven seals.

2 and I saw a mighty angel who was proclaiming in a loud voice – “Who is worthy to open the book and break its seals?”

And I saw a powerful agent proclaiming in a great voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals of it?

3 But no one either in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the book or look within it.

And none in heaven above nor on the earth nor under the earth was able to open the book or to see in it.

4 At this I wept long, because no one could be found who was worthy to open the book or look within it.

And I wept much because none was found worthy to open the book or to see in it.

5 But one of the elders said to me – “Do not weep. The Lion conquered – the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Scion of David – and can therefore open the book with its seven seals.”

And one of the elders says to me, Weep not, behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, overcame to open the book and the seven seals of it.

6 Then, within the space between the throne and the four creatures, and in the midst of the elders, I saw, standing, a Lamb, which seemed to have been sacrificed. It had seven horns and seven eyes. (These eyes are the seven spirits of God, and they are sent into all the world.)

And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, like it had been killed, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God being sent forth into all the earth.

7 The Lamb came forward; and he has taken the book from the right hand of him who was seated on the throne.

And he came and took it out of the right hand of him who sits on the throne.

8 And, when he had taken the book, the four creatures and the twenty-four elders prostrated themselves before the Lamb, each of them holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense. (These are the prayers of Christ’s people.)

And when he took the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp and golden bowls containing incense, which are the prayers of the sanctified.

9 And they are singing a new song – “You are worthy to take the book and break its seals, for you were sacrificed, and with your blood you did buy for God people of every tribe, and language, and people, and nation,

And they sing a new song, saying, Thou are worthy to take the book and to open the seals of it, because thou were killed and purchased us from God by thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation.

10 and did make them a kingdom of priests in the service of our God, and they are reigning on the earth.”

And thou made them kings and priests to our God, and they will reign over the earth.

11 Then, in my vision, I heard the voices of many angels round the throne, and of the creatures, and of the elders. In number they were ten thousand times ten thousand and thousands of thousands,

And I looked, and I heard as a voice of many agents all around the throne and the living creatures and the elders. And the number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, and thousands of thousands,

12 and they cried in a loud voice – “Worthy is the Lamb that was sacrificed to receive all power, and wealth, and wisdom, and might, and honour, and praise, and blessing.”

saying with a great voice, Worthy is the Lamb that has been killed to receive the power, and wealth, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing!

13 And I heard every created thing in the air, and on the earth, and under the earth, and on the sea, and all that is in them crying – “To him who is seated on the throne and to the Lamb be ascribed all blessing, and honour, and praise, and dominion for ever and ever.” (aiōn g165)

And every creature that is in the heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and is in the sea, and things in them all, I heard saying, The blessing, and the honor, and the glory, and the dominion is to him who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb, into the ages of the ages. Truly! (aiōn g165)

14 And the four creatures said “Amen,” and the elders prostrated themselves and worshiped.

And the four living creatures were saying the Truly. And the elders fell down and worshiped.
