Apokalipsa 5
1 I vidjeh u desnici onoga što sjeðaše na prijestolu knjigu napisanu iznutra i spolja, zapeèaæenu sa sedam peèata.
I saw, in the right hand of him who sat on the throne, a book written inside and outside, sealed shut with seven seals.
2 I vidjeh anðela jaka gdje propovijeda glasom velikijem: ko je dostojan da otvori knjigu i da razlomi peèate njezine?
I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the book, and to break its seals?”
3 I niko ne mogaše ni na nebu ni na zemlji, ni pod zemljom da otvori knjige ni da zagleda u nju.
No one in heaven above, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book or to look in it.
4 I ja plakah mnogo što se niko ne naðe dostojan da otvori i da proèita knjigu, niti da zagleda u nju.
Then I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the book or to look in it.
5 I jedan od starješina reèe mi: ne plaèi, evo je nadvladao lav, koji je od koljena Judina, korijen Davidov, da otvori knjigu i razlomi sedam peèata njezinijeh.
One of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome: he who opens the book and its seven seals.”
6 I vidjeh, i gle, nasred prijestola i èetiri životinje, i posred starješina jagnje stajaše kao zaklano, i imaše sedam rogova, i sedam oèiju, koje su sedam duhova Božijih poslanijeh po svemu svijetu.
I saw in the middle of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the middle 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 I doðe i uze knjigu iz desnice onoga što sjeðaše na prijestolu.
Then he came, and he took it out of the right hand of him who sat on the throne.
8 I kad uze knjigu, èetiri životinje i dvadeset i èetiri starješine padoše pred jagnjetom, imajuæi svaki gusle, i zlatne èaše pune tamjana, koje su molitve svetijeh.
Now when he had taken the book, 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.
9 I pjevahu pjesmu novu govoreæi: dostojan si da uzmeš knjigu, i da otvoriš peèate njezine; jer si se zaklao, i iskupio si nas Bogu krvlju svojom od svakoga koljena i jezika i naroda i plemena,
They sang a new song, saying, “You are worthy to take the book and to open its seals, for you were killed, and bought us for God with your blood out of every tribe, language, people, and nation,
10 I uèinio si nas Bogu našemu careve i sveštenike, i carovaæemo na zemlji.
and made us kings and priests to our God; and we will reign on the earth.”
11 I vidjeh, i èuh glas anðela mnogijeh oko prijestola i životinja i starješina, i bješe broj njihov hiljada hiljada,
I looked, and I heard something like a voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders. The number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, and thousands of thousands,
12 Govoreæi glasom velikijem: dostojno je jagnje zaklano da primi silu i bogatstvo i premudrost i jaèinu i èast i slavu i blagoslov.
saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who has been killed to receive the power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing!”
14 I èetiri životinje govorahu: amin. I dvadeset i èetiri starješine padoše i pokloniše se onome što živi va vijek vijeka.
The four living creatures said, "Amen!" Then the elders fell down and worshiped.
