prakāśitaṁ 5

1 anantaraṁ tasya sihāsanopaviṣṭajanasya dakṣiṇaste 'nta rbahiśca likhitaṁ patramekaṁ mayā dṛṣṭaṁ tat saptamudrābhiraṅkitaṁ|

And I saw upon the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll, written inside and outside, sealed with seven seals.

2 tatpaścād eko balavān dūto dṛṣṭaḥ sa uccaiḥ svareṇa vācamimāṁ ghoṣayati kaḥ patrametad vivarītuṁ tammudrā mocayituñcārhati?

And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to break its seals?”

3 kintu svargamarttyapātāleṣu tat patraṁ vivarītuṁ nirīkṣituñca kasyāpi sāmarthyaṁ nābhavat|

And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look at it.

4 ato yastat patraṁ vivarītuṁ nirīkṣituñcārhati tādṛśajanasyābhāvād ahaṁ bahu roditavān|

And I began to really weep, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it.

5 kintu teṣāṁ prācīnānām eko jano māmavadat mā rodīḥ paśya yo yihūdāvaṁśīyaḥ siṁho dāyūdo mūlasvarūpaścāsti sa patrasya tasya saptamudrāṇāñca mocanāya pramūtavān|

So one of the elders says to me: “Stop weeping! Look! The Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

6 aparaṁ siṁhāsanasya caturṇāṁ prāṇināṁ prācīnavargasya ca madhya eko meṣaśāvako mayā dṛṣṭaḥ sa chedita iva tasya saptaśṛṅgāṇi saptalocanāni ca santi tāni kṛtsnāṁ pṛthivīṁ preṣitā īśvarasya saptātmānaḥ|

And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living beings, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing—as if slaughtered, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.

7 sa upāgatya tasya siṁhāsanopaviṣṭajanasya dakṣiṇakarāt tat patraṁ gṛhītavān|

And He went and took it out of the right hand of the One sitting on the throne!

8 patre gṛhīte catvāraḥ prāṇinaścaturviṁṁśatiprācīnāśca tasya meṣaśāvakasyāntike praṇipatanti teṣām ekaikasya karayo rvīṇāṁ sugandhidravyaiḥ paripūrṇaṁ svarṇamayapātrañca tiṣṭhati tāni pavitralokānāṁ prārthanāsvarūpāṇi|

And when He took the scroll the four living beings and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having harps and golden bowls full of incenses, which are the prayers of the saints.

9 aparaṁ te nūtanamekaṁ gītamagāyan, yathā, grahītuṁ patrikāṁ tasya mudrā mocayituṁ tathā| tvamevārhasi yasmāt tvaṁ balivat chedanaṁ gataḥ| sarvvābhyo jātibhāṣābhyaḥ sarvvasmād vaṁśadeśataḥ| īśvarasya kṛte 'smān tvaṁ svīyaraktena krītavān|

And they sing a new song saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals; because You were slaughtered, and have redeemed us to God by your blood out of every tribe and language and people and ethnic nation;

10 asmadīśvarapakṣe 'smān nṛpatīn yājakānapi| kṛtavāṁstena rājatvaṁ kariṣyāmo mahītale||

and You have made them kings and priests to our God, and they will reign on the earth.”

11 aparaṁ nirīkṣamāṇena mayā siṁhāsanasya prāṇicatuṣṭayasya prācīnavargasya ca parito bahūnāṁ dūtānāṁ ravaḥ śrutaḥ, teṣāṁ saṁkhyā ayutāyutāni sahasrasahastrāṇi ca|

And I looked, and I heard as it were the voice of many angels, around the throne and the living beings and the elders. And their number was ten thousand times ten thousand and a thousand thousands,

12 tairuccairidam uktaṁ, parākramaṁ dhanaṁ jñānaṁ śaktiṁ gauravamādaraṁ| praśaṁsāñcārhati prāptuṁ chedito meṣaśāvakaḥ||

saying with a great voice: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slaughtered to receive the power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing!”

13 aparaṁ svargamarttyapātālasāgareṣu yāni vidyante teṣāṁ sarvveṣāṁ sṛṣṭavastūnāṁ vāgiyaṁ mayā śrutā, praśaṁsāṁ gauravaṁ śauryyam ādhipatyaṁ sanātanaṁ| siṁhasanopaviṣṭaśca meṣavatsaśca gacchatāṁ| (aiōn g165)

And every creature which is in the heaven and upon the earth and under the earth, and upon the sea (the existing places and the creatures in them)—I heard them all saying: “To Him who sits upon the throne and to the Lamb: the blessing and the honor and the glory and the power for ever and ever! Amen!” (aiōn g165)

14 aparaṁ te catvāraḥ prāṇinaḥ kathitavantastathāstu, tataścaturviṁśatiprācīnā api praṇipatya tam anantakālajīvinaṁ prāṇaman|

(It was the four living beings saying the “Amen”.) And the elders fell and did obeisance.
