< 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.
پس از آن، در دست راست آن کسی که بر تخت نشسته بود، طوماری دیدم که بر هر دو طرف آن نوشته شده بود و با هفت مُهر، آن را مهر و موم کرده بودند.
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]
آنگاه فرشتهٔ نیرومندی را دیدم که با صدای بلند می‌پرسید: «چه کسی لیاقت دارد که این مهرها را بشکند و طومار را بگشاید؟»
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.
اما کسی در آسمان و زمین و در میان مردگان پیدا نشد که قادر باشد طومار را باز کند و بخواند.
4 I cried loudly because there was no one worthy to do that.
من از روی ناامیدی، به شدت می‌گریستم، زیرا هیچ‌کس پیدا نشد که لیاقت گشودن و خواندن طومار را داشته باشد.
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!”
اما یکی از آن بیست و چهار پیر به من گفت: «گریه نکن. ببین، شیر قبیلهٔ یهودا که از نسل داوود است، پیروز شده است! او لیاقت دارد طومار و هفت مهر آن را بگشاید.»
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.
آنگاه بره‌ای دیدم که گویی ذبح شده باشد، اما در مقابل تخت و موجودات زنده، و در میان بیست و چهار پیر ایستاده بود. او هفت شاخ و هفت چشم داشت که همان روح هفتگانهٔ خداست که به تمام نقاط جهان فرستاده می‌شود.
7 He came and took the scroll from the right hand of the one who sits on the throne.
آنگاه برّه نزدیک آمد و طومار را از دست راست آنکه بر تخت نشسته بود، گرفت.
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.
وقتی طومار را گرفت، آن بیست و چهار پیر در برابر او سجده کردند. هر یک از آنان یک چنگ و کاسه‌های طلایی پر از بخور داشتند که دعاهای ایمانداران است.
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.
ایشان برای او سرود جدیدی می‌خواندند و می‌گفتند: «تو لیاقت داری که طومار را بگیری و مهرش را باز کرده، آن را بخوانی، زیرا جانت را قربانی کردی و مردم را از هر نژاد و زبان و قوم و قبیله برای خدا خریدی،
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.
و ایشان را برای خدای ما کاهن ساختی و به سلطنت رساندی؛ از این رو بر زمین سلطنت خواهند کرد.»
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].
سپس در رؤیا، میلیونها فرشته را دیدم که گرداگرد تخت و موجودات زنده و پیران جمع شده،
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!”
با صدای بلند این سرود را می‌خوانند: «برّهٔ خدا که جانش را در راه نجات مردم قربانی کرد، لیاقت دارد که صاحب قدرت و دولت، حکمت و قوت، حرمت و جلال و برکت باشد.»
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)
آنگاه صدای تمام موجودات آسمان و زمین و زیر زمین و دریاها را شنیدم که می‌سرودند و می‌گفتند: «ستایش و حرمت، جلال و قوت تا ابد از آنِ برّه و آنکه بر تخت نشسته است باد.» (aiōn g165)
14 The four living [creatures] said, “(Amen!/May it be so!)” Then the elders prostrated themselves and worshipped [God and Jesus].
و آن چهار موجود زنده گفتند: «آمین»، و آن بیست و چهار پیر سجده کرده، او را پرستیدند.
