1 तब सिंहासनमा विराजमान हुनुहुनेको दाहिने हाततिर सातवटा छाप लगाएर यसलाई बन्द गरिएको अगाडि र पछाडि लेखिएको एउटा चर्मपत्रको मुट्ठो मैले देखेँ ।
AND I saw on the right hand of him who was seated on the throne a volume of a book written within, and on the back sealed with seven seals.
2 “यस मुट्ठोलाई खोल्न र यसका छापहरूलाई तोड्न को योग्यको छ?” भनी एक जना शक्‍तिशाली स्वर्गदूतले चर्को सोरमा घोषणा गरेको मैले देखेँ ।
And I saw mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to break the seals thereon?
3 स्वर्गमा वा यस पृथ्वीमा वा यस पृथ्वीमुनि भएका कसैले पनि यस मुट्ठोलाई खोल्न वा यसलाई पढ्न सकेन ।
And no man was able in heaven, nor upon earth, nor under the earth, to open the book, nor to look into it.
4 म दुःखित भएर रोएँ, किनकि यस मुट्ठोलाई खोल्न र पढ्न योग्यको कोही पनि भेट्टाइएन ।
And I wept much because no man was found worthy either to open or read the book, or even to look upon it.
5 तर ती एल्डरहरूमध्येका एक जनाले मलाई भने, “नरोऊ । हेर! यहूदाको कुलको सिँह, दाऊदको मुलले विजय प्राप्‍त गर्नुभएको छ । त्यो मुट्ठो र त्यसका सातवटा छाप खोल्न उहाँ योग्यका हुनुहुन्छ ।”
And one of the presbyters said unto me, Weep not: behold the lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, hath prevailed, to open the book, and to break the seven seals upon it.
6 मैले सिंहासन र चारवटा जीवित प्राणी र एल्डरहरूका बिचमा मारिएको जस्तो देखिनुहुने एउटा थुमालाई उभिरहेको देखेँ । उहाँका सातवटा सिङ र सातवटा आँखा थिए । यी सारा संसारभरि पठाइएका परमेश्‍वरका सात आत्मा हुन् ।
And I beheld, and lo! in the midst of the throne, and of the four living beings, and in the midst of the presbyters, stood a lamb as just slaughtered, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God that are sent forth into all the world:
7 उहाँ जानुभयो र सिंहासनमा बसिरहनुहुनेको दाहिने हातबाट त्यस मुट्ठोलाई समात्‍नुभयो ।
and he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that was seated upon the throne.
8 जब उहाँले त्यो मुट्ठोलाई लिनुभयो, ती चारवटा जीवित प्राणी र चौबिस जना एल्डर उहाँको अगाडि घोप्टो परे । तिनीहरू हरेकसँग वीणा र धूपले भरिएका सुनका धुपौराहरू थियो, जुन विश्‍वासीहरूका प्रार्थना हुन् ।
And when he had taken the book, the four living beings and the four and twenty presbyters prostrated themselves before the lamb, having each harps, and vases of gold, full of perfumes smoaking, which are the prayers of the saints.
9 तिनीहरूले एउटा नयाँ गीत गाएः “तपाईं त्यो मुट्ठोलाई लिन र त्यसका छापहरूलाई खोल्न योग्यका हुनुहुन्छ । किनकि तपाईं मारिनुभयो, र तपाईंको रगतले हरेक जाति, भाषा, मानिस र राष्‍ट्रलाई तपाईंले परमेश्‍वरका निम्ति किन्‍नुभयो ।
And they sung a new song, saying, Worthy art thou to take the book, and to open the seals thereon; because thou hast been slaughtered, and hast redeemed us for God by thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation;
10 परमेश्‍वरको सेवा गर्न तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई राज्य र पुजारीहरू बनाउनुभयो, र तिनीहरूले पृथ्वीमा राज्य गर्नेछन् ।”
and hast made us for our God kings and priests, and we shall reign upon the earth.
11 तब मैले हेरेँ र सिंहासन, जीवित प्राणीहरू र एल्डरहरूका वरिपरि धेरै स्वर्गदूतका आवाजलाई सुनेँ । तिनीहरूको पुरा सङ्ख्या दसौँ हजार र हजारै हजार थियो ।
And I looked, and heard the voice of many angels around the throne, and the living beings, and the presbyters, and their number was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands,
12 तिनीहरूले चर्को सोरमा यसो भने, “शक्‍ति, धन, बुद्धि, बल, आदर, महिमा र प्रशंसा प्राप्‍त गर्न मारिनुभएका थुमा योग्यका हुनुहुन्छ ।”
crying with a loud voice, Worthy is the slaughtered lamb to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and might, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
13 स्वर्गमा, पृथ्वीमा, पृथ्वीमुनि र समुद्रमुनि सृष्‍टि गरिएका हरेक थोकले यसो भनेको मैले सुनेँ, “उहाँ जो सिंहासनमा विराजमान हुनुहुने र थुमालाई, प्रशंसा, आदर, महिमा र राज्य गर्ने शक्‍ति सदासर्वदा होस् ।” (aiōn g165)
And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and those who are on the sea, and all things which are therein, heard I, saying, To him who is seated on the throne, and to the lamb, be blessing, and honour, and glory, and might for ever and ever. (aiōn g165)
14 ती चारैवटा जीवित प्राणीले भने, “आमेन ।” र एल्डरहरू आफैँ घोप्टो परेर आराधना गरे । [टिपोटः पुरानो संस्करणमा यसरी लेखिएको छ] चौबिस एल्डर आफैँ घोप्टो परेर सदासर्वदा रहिरहनुहुनेलाई आराधना गरे ।
And the four living beings said, Amen. And the four and twenty presbyters prostrated themselves, and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
