prakAzitaM 5

I saw, in the right hand of him who sat on the throne, a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed shut with seven seals.

2 tatpazcAd EkO balavAn dUtO dRSTaH sa uccaiH svarENa vAcamimAM ghOSayati kaH patramEtad vivarItuM tammudrA mOcayitunjcArhati?

I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll, and to break its seals?"

3 kintu svargamarttyapAtAlESu tat patraM vivarItuM nirIkSitunjca kasyApi sAmarthyaM nAbhavat|

No one in heaven above, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the scroll, or to look in it.

4 atO yastat patraM vivarItuM nirIkSitunjcArhati tAdRzajanasyAbhAvAd ahaM bahu rOditavAn|

And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the scroll, or to look in it.

One of the elders said to me, "Do not weep. Look, the Lion who is of the tribe of Yehudah, the Root of Dawid, has overcome so that he can open the scroll and loose its seven seals."

I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth.

7 sa upAgatya tasya siMhAsanOpaviSTajanasya dakSiNakarAt tat patraM gRhItavAn|

Then he came, and he took it out of the right hand of him who sat on the throne.

Now when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

They sang a new song, saying, "You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals: for you were killed, and redeemed for God with your blood those from every tribe, language, people, and nation,

and made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they will reign on earth."

I saw, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, and thousands of thousands;

12 tairuccairidam uktaM, parAkramaM dhanaM jnjAnaM zaktiM gauravamAdaraM| prazaMsAnjcArhati prAptuM chEditO mESazAvakaH||

saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb who has been killed to receive the power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing."

I heard every created thing which is in heaven, on the earth, under the earth, on the sea, and everything in them, saying, "To him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion, forever and ever." (aiōn g165)

14 aparaM tE catvAraH prANinaH kathitavantastathAstu, tatazcaturviMzatiprAcInA api praNipatya tam anantakAlajIvinaM prANaman|

The four living creatures were saying, "Amen." The elders fell down and worshiped.
