5:1 The scroll and the lamb

5Then I saw a scroll in the right-hand of the one sitting on the throne. It had writing on both sides, and have been sealed with seven wax seals.[ref] 2I also saw a powerful messenger who was asking in a loud voice, “Who’s worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” 3But there wasn’t any person on earth or in the place of the dead who was permitted to open the scroll and read it. 4I began to cry loudly, because no one could be found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside it. 5Then one of the elders said to me, “Stop crying. Look, here’s the lion from the tribe of Judah. He’s the descendant of King David who’s a conqueror who’s competent to break the seals and open the scroll.”[ref]

6Then I saw a lamb standing there between the throne and the four living creatures and the elders. The lamb looked like it had been slaughtered, and it had seven horns and seven eyes which are God’s seven spirits that had been sent throughout the world.[ref] 7The lamb went up to the throne and accepted the scroll from the right hand of the one sitting on the throne. 8When he’d taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders knelt down in from of the lamb. Each elder held a harp and a bowl that was full of incense (which symbolised the prayers of the believers).[ref] 9They sung a new song like this:[ref]

“It’s you who’s worthy to take the scroll and break its seals,

because you were slaughtered and with your blood you purchased people for God

from every tribe and language and people group and nation.

10You’ve made them to be a kingdom[ref]

and to be priests to serve our God,

and they will reign on the earth.”

11Then I looked and I heard the voices of the living creatures and elders that were around the throne along with millions of God’s messengers[ref] 12saying with loud voices:

“The lamb that was slaughtered is worthy to receive power and riches,

and wisdom and strength and honour and praise and blessing.”

13Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth, and under the earth and in the sea—everything everywhere—saying,

“Too the one sitting on the throne

and to the lamb,

be praise and honour and GLORY and power

forever and ever.”

14Then the four living creatures said, “May it be so,” and the elders knelt down and worshipped.


5And I_saw on the right hand of_the one sitting on the throne a_scroll, having_been_written inside and behind, having_been_sealed_up seven with_seals.
2And I_saw an_messenger strong, proclaiming in in_a_voice loud:
Who worthy to_open_up the scroll, and to_break the seals of_it?
3And no_one was_able in the heaven, and_not on the earth, nor beneath the earth, to_open_up the scroll, nor to_be_seeing it.
4And I_was_weeping much, because no_one worthy will_be_being_found to_open_up the scroll, nor to_be_looking it.
5And one of the elders is_saying to_me:
Not be_weeping.
Behold, overcame the lion which of the tribe of_Youda/(Yəhūdāh), the root of_Dawid/(Dāvid), to_open_up the scroll, and the seven seals of_it.
6And I_saw in the_midst of_the throne and of_the four living_creatures and in the_midst of_the elders, a_lamb having_stood as having_been_slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of_ the _god, having_been_sent_out into all the earth.
7And he_came and has_taken it out_of the right hand of_the one sitting on the throne.
8And when he_took the four, scroll the living_creatures and the twenty four elders fell before the lamb, having each a_harp and bowls golden being_full of_incenses, which are the prayers of_the holy ones.
9And they_are_singing a_song new saying:
Worthy you_are to_take the scroll, and to_open_up the seals of_it, because you_were_slain, and bought to_ the _god us by the blood of_you, out_of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation,
10and you_made them to_the god of_us, a_kingdom and priests, and they_will_be_reigning on the earth.
11And I_looked, and I_heard the_voice of_messengers many around the throne, and of_the living_creatures, and of_the elders, and was the number of_them tens_of_thousands of_tens_of_thousands and thousands of_thousands, 12saying with_a_voice loud:
Worthy is the lamb which having_been_slain, to_receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
13And every creature which in the heaven, and on the earth, and beneath the earth, and on the sea, and the things in them all, I_heard saying:
To_the one sitting on the throne and to_the lamb be the blessing, and the honour, and the glory, and the dominion, to the ages of_the ages.
14And the four living_creatures were_saying:
Truly.
And the elders fell and prostrated.
