5:5 Designations for Jesus as the Lion of . . . Judah (see Gen 49:9-10) and the heir to David’s throne (see Isa 11:10) are Old Testament metaphors for the Messiah (see Jer 23:5; 30:9; John 7:42).
• Because Jesus won the victory at the cross (John 16:33), he is the only one worthy to open the scroll and reveal God’s purposes (Rev 4:11; 5:2, 12). God’s plan for history centers around Jesus and what he has done. His relationship to the scroll indicates his control of history.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ὁ λέων ὁ ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς Ἰούδα
the lion ¬which of the tribe ˱of˲_Judah
This elder is alluding to the prophecy in Genesis 49:8-10 in which Jacob says that a ruler for Israel will come from the tribe of Judah and in which Jacob compares that ruler to a strong Lion. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the promised ruler from the tribe of Judah”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἡ ῥίζα Δαυείδ
the root (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ εἷς ἐκ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων λέγει μοι μὴ κλαῖε ἰδοὺ ἐνίκησεν ὁ λέων ὁ ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς Ἰούδα ἡ ῥίζα Δαυίδ ἀνοῖξαι τὸ βιβλίον καὶ τὰς ἑπτὰ σφραγῖδας αὐτοῦ)
This elder is also alluding to the prophecy in Isaiah 11:1 that speaks of the Messiah as if he were a “shoot” from the “stump of Jesse” (the father of King David), a “branch from his roots.” In that prophecy Isaiah then refers to this “shoot” as the “root of Jesse” itself. The elder is speaking similarly here. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the Descendant of David” or “the Messiah descended from David”
Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
ἐνίκησεν & ἀνοῖξαι
overcame & /to/_open_up
The words has conquered introduce the reason for the result that the words to open describe. Use a natural way in your language for introducing a result clause. Alternate translation: “has conquered so as to be worthy to open”
