Revelation 5

1 And I saw on the right hand of him that sat upon the throne a book, written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals.

Then I saw lying upon the right hand of Him who sat upon the throne, a book written within and on the back, close 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 break its seals?

And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose its seals."

3 And no one was able in the heaven, or upon the earth, or underneath the earth, to open the book, or to regard it.

And no one in the heavens or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book, or to look into it.

4 And I wept much because no one had been found worthy to open the book nor to regard it.

so I began to weep bitterly because no one was found worthy to open the book, or to look into it.

5 And one of the elders says to me, Do not weep. Behold, the lion which [is] of the tribe of Juda, the root of David, has overcome [so as] to open the book, and its seven seals.

But one of the Elders said to me. "Do not weep! Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, and so can open the book with its seven seals."

6 And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, as slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God [which are] sent into all the earth:

Then I beheld a Lamb standing as if slain in the midst of the throne and of the four Living Creatures, and in the midst of the Elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes (which are the seven Spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth).

7 and it came and took [it] out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.

And he went, and now he has taken the book out of the right hand of Him who was seated on the throne.

8 And when it took the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell before the Lamb, having each a harp and golden bowls full of incenses, which are the prayers of the saints.

When he took the book, the four Living Creatures and the four and twenty Elders fell down before the Lamb. And each had a harp and a golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

9 And they sing a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open its seals; because thou hast been slain, and hast redeemed to God, by thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation,

And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy art thou to take the book And to open its seals; For thou wast slain and didst ransom for God Men out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation;

10 and made them to our God kings and priests; and they shall reign over the earth.

Thou hast made them kings and priests unto our God, And they shall reign on earth."

11 And I saw, and I heard [the] voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and their number was ten thousands of ten thousands and thousands of thousands;

Then I looked and heard a voice of many angels encircling the throne and a voice of the Living Creatures and of 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 has been slain, to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

singing aloud, "Worthy is the Lamb who has been slain, To receive power and riches and wisdom And might and honor and glory and blessing."

13 And every creature which is in the heaven and upon the earth and under the earth, and [those that are] upon the sea, and all things in them, heard I saying, To him that sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb, blessing, and honour, and glory, and might, to the ages of ages. (aiōn g165)

And I heard every created thing that is in heaven, or on earth, or beneath the earth, or on the sea, and all things that are in them, saying, "To him who sits on the throne, And to the Lamb, Be the blessing and the honor, And the glory and the power, Forever and ever!" (aiōn g165)

14 And the four living creatures said, Amen; and the elders fell down and did homage.

And the four Living Creatures kept saying, "Amen!" And the Elders fell down and worshiped.
