Chapter 5 (CV)
1 And I perceived on the right hand of Him Who is
sitting on the throne a scroll, written in front and on the back, and sealed up with seven
seals.
2 And I perceived a strong messenger heralding with a
loud voice: "Who is worthy to open the scroll, and to loose its seals?"
3 And no one in heaven, nor yet on earth, nor yet
underneath the earth, was able to open the scroll, neither to look at it.
4 And I lamented much that no one was found worthy to
open the scroll, neither to look at it.
5 And one of the elders is saying to me, "Do not
lament! Lo! He conquers! The Lion out of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, is to open
the scroll and to loose its seven seals!"
6 And I perceived, in the center of the throne and of the
four animals, and in the center of the elders, a Lambkin standing, as though slain, having
seven horns, and seven eyes which are the seven spirits of God, commissioned for the
entire earth.
7 And It came and has taken the scroll out of the right
hand of Him Who is sitting on the throne.
8 And when It took the scroll, the four animals and the
twenty-four elders fall before the Lambkin, each having a lyre, and golden bowls brimming
with incenses, which are the prayers of the saints.
9 And they are singing a new song, saying, "Worthy
art Thou to be taking the scroll and to open its seals, For Thou wast slain and dost buy
us for God by Thy blood. Out of every tribe and language and people and nation.
10 Thou dost also make them a kingdom and a priesthood
for our God, And they shall be reigning on the earth."
11 And I perceived, and I
hear a sound as of many messengers around the throne and the animals and the elders, and
their number was ten thousand ten thousand and a thousand thousand,
12 saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lambkin
slain To get power and riches and wisdom and strength And honor and glory and
blessing!"
13 And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth
and underneath the earth and on the sea, and all in them, I hear also saying, "To Him
Who is sitting on the throne-To the Lambkin-Be blessing and honor and glory and might For
the eons of the eons!"
14 And the four animals said, "Amen!" And the
elders fall and worship. |
Chapter 5 (KJV)
1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the
throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice,
Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the
earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to
open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold,
the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to
loose the seven seals thereof.
6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and
of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain,
having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all
the earth.
7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of
him that sat upon the throne.
8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and
four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and
golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to
take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to
God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and
we shall reign on the earth.
11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels
round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten
thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was
slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and
blessing.
13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the
earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I
saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the
throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and
twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever. |
