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.

我看见坐在宝座上那位，右手拿着书卷，书卷两面都写满了字，有七个封印。

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

我又看见一位力量强大的天使，大声喊道：“谁配展开这书卷并拆开它的封印？”

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.

在天上、地上和地底，没有人能够展开书卷阅读。

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

找不到配展开并阅读书卷的人，我为之大哭。

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.”

一位长老对我说：“不要哭！看，犹大部落的狮子、大卫的后裔，他已经赢得这场战斗，能够展开书卷，拆开它的七印。”

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.

我看见在宝座和四个活物中间，在众长老之中，有一个羊羔，好像被杀掉了，有七个羊角和七个眼睛，那是上帝的七灵，被派到世界各地。

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

羊羔走过去，从宝座上那位的右手拿了书卷。

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.

拿到书卷后，四个活物和二十四位长老俯伏在羊羔前，各拿着琴和盛满了香的金炉，这香是众信徒的祈祷。

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,

他们唱着一首新歌：“你配拿到书卷并拆开封印，因你曾被杀，用你的血从所有部落、语言、民族和国家处赎回上帝的人。

10 and made us kings and priests to our God; and we will reign on the earth.”

你让他们成为我们上帝的国和祭司，他们要在人间执掌王权。”

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,

我继续看着，听见千万天使的声音，他们都围在宝座、活物和长老的周围，

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!”

大声说：“被杀的羊羔配得上获得权能、财富、智慧、力量、尊贵、荣耀和祝福！”

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)

我又听见在天上、地上、地底和海中的一切造物，以及天地间的万物都说：“愿祝福、尊贵、荣耀和权利，都归于坐在宝座上的那一位和羊羔，直到永远！” (aiōn g165)

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

四个活物说：“阿门！”众长老也俯伏敬拜。
