εἶδον
˱I˲_saw
It may be more natural in your language to say “heard” rather than saw in this context. Alternate translation: “I heard”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / events
ἀνοῖξαι τὸ βιβλίον, καὶ λῦσαι τὰς σφραγῖδας αὐτοῦ
/to/_open_up the scroll and /to/_break the seals ˱of˲_it
Since someone would need to break the seals in order to open the scroll, in your translation you may wish to relate these events in the order in which they would have to happen. Alternate translation: “to break the seals and open the scroll”
