Revelation 5
1 I saw that there was a scroll in the right hand of the one who was sitting on the throne. The scroll was written on its outside as well as on its inside, and it was sealed {Someone had written on the outside as well as on the inside of the scroll and sealed it} with seven seals.
Kemudian saya melihat sebuah gulungan kitab di tangan kanan Dia yang duduk di atas takhta itu. Gulungan itu mempunyai tulisan di bagian luar dan dalam, tetapi tidak bisa dibuka dan dibaca karena disegel dengan tujuh meterai yang terbuat dari lem lilin.
2 I saw a strong angel who was announcing in a loud voice, “(The person who is worthy to break the seals of the scroll and then to open it should come to do it!/Who is worthy to break the seals of the scroll and then to open it?)” [RHQ]
Saya melihat seorang malaikat yang sangat kuat bertanya dengan suara keras, “Siapakah yang layak melepaskan meterai-meterai gulungan kitab itu dan membukanya?”
3 But no created being in heaven nor any created being on the earth nor any created being under the earth was able to open the scroll and see what was written on it.
Ternyata tidak seorang pun— baik yang ada di surga, di bumi, maupun di bawah bumi— yang layak membuka atau melihat bagian dalamnya.
4 I cried loudly because there was no one worthy to do that.
Maka saya menangis dengan sangat sedih, karena tidak seorang pun dinyatakan layak untuk melakukan hal itu.
5 But one of the elders said to me, “Do not cry any longer! Look, the one who is called the Lion from the tribe of Judah, the Messiah who is the descendant of King David, has overcome Satan! As a result, he is worthy to break the seven seals on the scroll and open it!”
Tetapi salah satu dari kedua puluh empat pemimpin tadi berkata kepada saya, “Jangan menangis! Dia yang seperti singa dari suku Yehuda sudah menang! Dialah Raja Agung keturunan Daud. Dia layak melepaskan ketujuh meterai gulungan kitab itu dan membukanya!”
6 Then I saw Jesus, the one who is like a [MET] sacrificial lamb, standing there. He stood near the throne, in the midst of the four living creatures and the elders. It appeared that he had been killed {that people had killed him}, but he was alive again. He had seven horns [on his head], and he had seven eyes that symbolize the Spirit of God who has all kinds of power (OR, who is also symbolized as seven spirits). [He] sends [God’s] Spirit out into all the earth.
Kemudian saya melihat seekor Anak Domba berdiri di dekat takhta besar itu dikelilingi oleh keempat makhluk dan pemimpin-pemimpin tadi. Anak Domba itu kelihatan seperti sudah pernah dibunuh. Dia juga mempunyai tujuh tanduk dan tujuh mata yang menggambarkan seluruh kekuatan Roh Allah yang diutus ke seluruh dunia.
7 He came and took the scroll from the right hand of the one who sits on the throne.
Anak Domba itu datang dan mengambil gulungan kitab dari tangan kanan Yang Mahakuasa yang duduk di atas takhta-Nya.
8 When he took the scroll, the four living [creatures] and the 24 elders (prostrated themselves/knelt down) before [Jesus], the [one who is like a] lamb, [to worship him]. They each had a harp, and they had golden bowls full of incense that [represents] the prayers of God’s people.
Sesudah Dia mengambil gulungan kitab itu, keempat makhluk dan kedua puluh empat pemimpin tadi langsung tersungkur dan menyembah Sang Anak Domba. Mereka masing-masing memegang kecapi dan mangkuk emas penuh dengan dupa, yang melambangkan doa-doa umat Allah.
9 The living [creatures] and the elders sang a new song. They sang: You are worthy to receive the scroll and to open its seals, because you were killed, and because you redeemed/bought people for God from every tribe, language [MTY], people-group, and nation with the blood that flowed from your body when you died.
Dan kepada-Nya mereka menyanyikan nyanyian baru, “Engkau layak menerima gulungan kitab itu dan melepaskan meterai-meterainya! Karena Engkau sudah dibunuh, dan dengan darah-Mu sendiri Engkau sudah menebus kami bagi Allah dari setiap suku bahasa, bangsa, dan negara.
10 You have caused them to become a people over whom our God rules, and to become priests who serve him, and they will rule on [MTY] the earth.
Engkau sudah menjadikan kami warga kerajaan-Mu dan imam-imam yang melayani Engkau. Engkau juga menjadikan kami raja-raja yang akan memerintah atas seluruh bumi.”
11 As I [continued to] look, I heard the voices of many angels around the throne and around the living [creatures] and the elders. There were millions of them, a [crowd so large that no one could count them].
Kemudian dalam penglihatan itu saya mendengar suara malaikat yang tidak terhitung banyaknya, beribu-ribu bahkan berjuta-juta. Malaikat-malaikat itu mengelilingi kedua puluh empat pemimpin. Para pemimpin itu mengelilingi keempat makhluk. Dan keempat makhluk mengelilingi takhta besar itu.
12 They were singing in a loud voice: “The one who is like a lamb was killed {whom his enemies killed} but he became alive again. He is worthy that all created beings acknowledge that he is infinitely powerful, infinitely rich, infinitely wise, and infinitely strong! He is worthy of being honored and praised by all created beings!”
Mereka bernyanyi dengan suara keras, “Biarlah segala kuasa, kekayaan, hikmat, dan kekuatan menjadi milik Anak Domba yang sudah dibunuh itu! Dialah yang layak menerima segala hormat, kemuliaan, dan pujian!”
13 I also heard every creature that is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the ocean, every creature in all those places, saying (OR, singing): “We must forever praise and honor the one who sits on the throne and the one who is like a lamb, May they reign with complete power forever!” (aiōn g165)
Kemudian saya mendengar setiap makhluk hidup yang ada di surga, di muka bumi, di bawah bumi, dan di laut, yaitu semua yang ada di segala tempat berseru, “Segala pujian, hormat, kemuliaan, dan kuasa sampai selama-lamanya kepada Dia yang duduk di atas takhta dan kepada Anak Domba itu! Amin.” (aiōn g165)
14 The four living [creatures] said, “(Amen!/May it be so!)” Then the elders prostrated themselves and worshipped [God and Jesus].
Lalu keempat makhluk hidup itu berseru, “Amin!” Dan kedua puluh empat pemimpin langsung tersungkur dan menyembah Dia.
