OET (OET-LV) And I_was_weeping much, because no_one worthy will_be_being_found to_open_up the scroll, nor to_be_looking it.

OET (OET-RV) I began to cry loudly, because no one could be found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside it.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 5:1–5: The Lamb was worthy to open the sealed scroll

In this section, John continued to describe his vision. In it he saw God holding a scroll. An angel asked who was worthy to open the scroll. The only one who was worthy was King David’s promised heir, whom John called “the Lamb” here.

Other examples of headings for this section are:

John saw a scroll sealed seven times

The scroll that was sealed seven times

The scroll that was sealed seven times and the Lamb who was worthy to open it

5:4a

And I began to weep bitterly,

And I began to weep bitterly: The Greek clause is literally “I was weeping greatly.” The Greek grammar indicates weeping over a period of time. Other ways to translate this clause are:

I wept and wept (NIV)

I then cried very much

5:4b

because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or look inside it.

no one was found worthy: The clause no one was found is passive. Some languages must use an active clause. For example:

no one found anyone to be worthy

no one found one person to be worthy

there was no one who was worthy

was found: Here the phrase was found indicates that no one considered anyone worthy to open the scroll. Other ways to translate this phrase are:

was considered

was counted

no one saw that someone was worthy

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ἔκλαιον πολὺ, ὅτι οὐδεὶς ἄξιος εὑρέθη ἀνοῖξαι τὸ βιβλίον, οὔτε βλέπειν αὐτό

˱I˲_˓was˒_weeping (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἔκλαιον πολύ ὅτι οὐδείς ἄξιος εὑρεθήσεται ἀνοῖξαι τό βιβλίον οὔτε βλέπειν αὐτό)

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to read it, I was weeping much]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

οὐδεὶς & εὑρέθη

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἔκλαιον πολύ ὅτι οὐδείς ἄξιος εὑρεθήσεται ἀνοῖξαι τό βιβλίον οὔτε βλέπειν αὐτό)

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [the angel did not find anyone]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

οὐδεὶς & εὑρέθη

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἔκλαιον πολύ ὅτι οὐδείς ἄξιος εὑρεθήσεται ἀνοῖξαι τό βιβλίον οὔτε βλέπειν αὐτό)

Here the expression no one was found could simply mean “there was no one.” You could say that as an alternate translation.

OET (OET-RV) I began to cry loudly, because no one could be found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside it.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
