Revelation 5

1 I saw, in the right hand of him who sat on the throne, a book written inside and outside, sealed shut with seven seals.

ⲁ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲥⲁⲟⲩ⳿ⲓⲛⲁⲙ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩϫⲱⲙ ⲉϥ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⲥⲁϧⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥⲧⲟⲃ ⳿ⲛⲍ̅ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲃⲥ.

2 I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the book, and to break its seals?”

ⲃ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉϥϫⲟⲣ ⲉϥϩⲓⲱⲓϣ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓϫⲱⲙ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥⲧⲉⲃⲥ.

3 No one in heaven above, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book or to look in it.

4 Then I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the book or to look in it.

5 One of the elders said to me, “Don’t weep. Behold, the Lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome: he who opens the book and its seven seals.”

6 I saw in the middle of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the middle of the elders, a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth.

ⲋ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲙⲏϯ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲇ̅ ⳿ⲛⲍⲱⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲙⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩϩⲓⲏⲃ ⲉϥⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲉϥϧⲉⲗϧⲱⲗ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲍ̅ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲡ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲩⲭⲏ ϩⲓϫⲱϥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲍ̅ ⳿ⲙⲃⲁⲗ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲍ̅ ⳿ⲙⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲟⲩⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲕⲁϩⲓ ⲧⲏⲣϥ.

7 Then he came, and he took it out of the right hand of him who sat on the throne.

8 Now when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

9 They sang a new song, saying, “You are worthy to take the book and to open its seals, for you were killed, and bought us for God with your blood out of every tribe, language, people, and nation,

11 I looked, and I heard something like a voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders. The number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, and thousands of thousands,

12 saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who has been killed to receive the power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing!”

13 I heard every created thing which is in heaven, on the earth, under the earth, on the sea, and everything in them, saying, “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion, forever and ever! Amen!” (aiōn g165)

14 The four living creatures said, “Amen!” Then the elders fell down and worshiped.
