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.
Я побачив у правій руці Того, Хто сидів на престолі, сувій, списаний з обох боків і запечатаний сімома печатками.
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]
І я побачив могутнього ангела, який гучним голосом проголошував: «Хто достойний зняти печатки та розгорнути сувій?»
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.
Але ніхто ні на небі, ні на землі, ні під землею не міг розгорнути сувою або подивитись у нього.
4 I cried loudly because there was no one worthy to do that.
Я гірко плакав, бо не було знайдено нікого, хто був би гідний розгорнути сувій або подивитись у нього.
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!”
Тоді один зі старців сказав мені: «Не плач! Ось Лев із племені Юди, Корінь Давида, переміг і [може] розгорнути сувій та сім його печаток».
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.
Тоді я побачив, що в центрі престолу серед чотирьох живих істот та старців стояв Агнець, ніби заколений. У Агнця було сім рогів і сім очей, якими є сім духів Божих, розісланих по всій землі.
7 He came and took the scroll from the right hand of the one who sits on the throne.
Він пішов і взяв [сувій] з правиці Того, Хто сидів на престолі.
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.
І коли Він взяв сувій, чотири живі істоти та двадцять чотири старці впали ниць перед Агнцем. У кожного з них у руках були арфи й золоті чаші, повні пахощів, які є молитвами святих.
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.
І вони заспівали нову пісню, кажучи: «Гідний Ти взяти сувій і відкрити його печатки, тому що Ти був заколотий і Своєю кров’ю Ти відкупив [людей] для Бога: з усякого племені та мови, з [усякого] народу та нації.
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.
Ти зробив їх Царством і священниками для нашого Бога, і вони царюватимуть на землі».
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].
Потім я подивився й почув голос багатьох ангелів, які оточили престол, живих істот і старців. А число їх – десятки тисяч по десять тисяч і тисячі тисяч.
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!”
Гучним голосом вони говорили: «Достойний Агнець, Який був заколотий, отримати владу, багатство, мудрість, силу, честь, славу й благословення».
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)
Тоді я чув, як усі творіння на небі, і на землі, і під землею, і на морі, і все, що в них, говорять: «Тому, Хто сидить на престолі, і Агнцеві благословення, честь, слава і сила (aiōn g165)
14 The four living [creatures] said, “(Amen!/May it be so!)” Then the elders prostrated themselves and worshipped [God and Jesus].
Чотири живі істоти казали: «Амінь», а старці впали ниць і поклонилися.
