< Revelation 5 >

1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
And I saw a scroll on the right hand of Him who is sitting on the throne, written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals;
2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose its seals?
and I saw a strong messenger crying with a great voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?”
3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look upon it.
And no one was able in Heaven, nor on the earth, nor under the earth, to open the scroll, nor to behold it.
4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open, and to read the book, neither to look upon it.
And I was weeping much, because no one was found worthy to open and to read the scroll, nor to behold it,
5 And one of the elders saith to me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose its seven seals.
and one of the elders says to me, “Do not weep; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has overcome to open the scroll, and to loose its seven seals”;
6 And I beheld, and lo, in the midst of the throne, and of the four living beings, and in the midst of the elders stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
and I saw, and behold, in the midst of the throne, and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing as having been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the Seven Spirits of God, which are sent to all the earth,
7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
and He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who is sitting on the throne.
8 And when he had taken the book, the four living beings, and four [and] twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odors, which are the prayers of saints.
And when He took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell before the Lamb, each one having harps and golden bowls full of incenses, which are the prayers of the holy ones,
9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals of it: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and language, and people, and nation;
and they sing a new song, saying, “Worthy are You to take the scroll, and to open its seals, because You were slain, and You purchased us to God in Your blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation,
10 And hast made us to our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
and made them [to be] to our God kings and priests, and they will reign on the earth.”
11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, and the living beings, and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
And I saw, and I heard the voice of many messengers around the throne, and the living creatures, and the elders—and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands—
12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.
saying with a great voice, “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing!”
13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying, Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, [be] to him that sitteth upon the throne, and to the Lamb for ever and ever. (aiōn g165)
And every creature that is in Heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and the things that are on the sea, and all things in them, I heard saying, “To Him who is sitting on the throne and to the Lamb—the blessing, and the honor, and the glory, and the might—through the ages of the ages!” (aiōn g165)
14 And the four living beings said, Amen. And the four [and] twenty elders fell down and worshiped him that liveth for ever and ever.
And the four living creatures said, “Amen!” And the twenty-four elders fell down and they worship Him who is living through the ages of the ages.
