< Apocalipse 5 >
1 E vi na dextra do que estava assentado sobre o trono um livro escrito por dentro e por fora, selado com sete selos.
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.
2 E vi um anjo forte, apregoando com grande voz: Quem é digno de abrir o livro e de desatar os seus selos?
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]
3 E ninguém no céu, nem na terra, nem debaixo da terra, podia abrir o livro, nem olhar para ele.
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.
4 E eu chorava muito, porque ninguém fôra achado digno de abrir o livro, nem de o ler, nem de olhar para ele.
I cried loudly because there was no one worthy to do that.
5 E disse-me um dos anciãos: Não chores: eis aqui, o Leão da tribo de Judá, a raiz de David, que venceu, para abrir o livro e desatar os seus sete selos.
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!”
6 E olhei, e eis que no meio dos anciãos estava um Cordeiro, como havendo sido morto, e tinha sete cornos, e sete olhos, que são os sete espíritos de Deus enviados a toda a terra.
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.
7 E veio, e tomou o livro da dextra do que estava assentado no trono.
He came and took the scroll from the right hand of the one who sits on the throne.
8 E, havendo tomado o livro, os quatro animais e os vinte e quatro anciãos prostraram-se diante do Cordeiro, tendo todos eles harpas e salvas de ouro cheias de incenso, que são as orações dos santos.
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.
9 E cantavam um novo cântico, dizendo: Digno és de tomar o livro, e de abrir os seus selos; porque foste morto, e com o teu sangue para Deus nos compraste, de toda a tribo, e língua, e povo, e nação;
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.
10 E para o nosso Deus nos fizeste reis e sacerdotes; e reinaremos sobre a terra.
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.
11 E olhei, e ouvi a voz de muitos anjos ao redor do trono, e dos animais, e dos anciãos; e era o número deles milhões de milhões, e milhares de milhares,
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].
12 Que com grande voz diziam: Digno é o Cordeiro, que foi morto, de receber o poder, e riquezas, e sabedoria, e força, e honra, e glória, e ações de graças.
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!”
13 E ouvi a toda a criatura que está no céu, e na terra, e debaixo da terra, e que está no mar, e a todas as coisas que neles há, dizendo: Ao que está assentado sobre o trono, e ao Cordeiro, sejam dadas ações de graças, e honra, e glória, e poder para todo o sempre (aiōn )
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 )
14 E os quatro animais diziam: amém. E os vinte e quatro anciãos prostraram-se, e adoraram ao que vive para todo o sempre.
The four living [creatures] said, “(Amen!/May it be so!)” Then the elders prostrated themselves and worshipped [God and Jesus].
