Revelation 5
1 And I saw, upon the right hand of him that was sitting upon the throne, a scroll; written within, and on the back, sealed up 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 And I saw a mighty messenger, proclaiming with a loud voice—Who is worthy to open the scroll, and to unloose the seals thereof?
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 And, no one, was able, in heaven, or on earth, or under the earth, to open the scroll, or, to look thereon.
在天上、地上、地底下，沒有能展開、能觀看那書卷的。
4 And, I, began to weep much, because, no one, worthy, was found, to open the scroll, or, to look thereon.
因為沒有配展開、配觀看那書卷的，我就大哭。
5 And, one of the elders, saith unto me—Do not weep! Lo! the lion that is of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, hath overcome, to open the scroll and the seven seals thereof.
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 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, showing that it had been slain, —having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the [seven] Spirits of God sent forth 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 And he came, and at once took [it] out of the right hand of him that was sitting upon the throne.
這羔羊前來，從坐寶座的右手裏拿了書卷。
8 And, when he took the scroll, the four living creatures, and the four-and-twenty elders, fell down before the Lamb, having, each one, a harp, and bowls of gold 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 and they sing a new song, saying—Worthy, art thou, to take the scroll and to open the seals thereof; because thou wast slain, and didst redeem unto God by thy blood [men] out of every tribe, and tongue, and 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 didst make them, unto our God, a kingdom and priests, —and they reign on the earth.
又叫他們成為國民， 作祭司歸於上帝， 在地上執掌王權。
11 And I saw, and heard a voice of many messengers, round about the throne and the living creatures and the elders, —and the number of them was myriads of myriads 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 that hath been slain, to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and might, and honour, and 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 And, every created thing which was in heaven, and upon the earth, and under the earth, and upon the sea, and, all the things in them, heard I, saying—Unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb, be the blessing, and the honour, and the glory, and the dominion, unto the ages of ages! (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 And the four living creatures continued saying—Amen! And, the elders, fell down and did homage.
四活物就說：「阿們！」眾長老也俯伏敬拜。
