< Revelation 5 >

1 Then I saw at the right hand of him who was seated on the throne a book, with writing inside and out, and sealed with seven seals;
και ειδον επι την δεξιαν του καθημενου επι του θρονου βιβλιον γεγραμμενον εσωθεν και εξωθεν κατεσφραγισμενον σφραγισιν επτα
2 and I saw a mighty angel who was proclaiming in a loud voice – “Who is worthy to open the book and break its seals?”
και ειδον αγγελον ισχυρον κηρυσσοντα εν φωνη μεγαλη τις αξιος εστιν ανοιξαι το βιβλιον και λυσαι τας σφραγιδας αυτου
3 But no one either in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the book or look within it.
και ουδεις εδυνατο εν τω ουρανω ουτε επι της γης ουτε υποκατω της γης ανοιξαι το βιβλιον ουτε βλεπειν αυτο
4 At this I wept long, because no one could be found who was worthy to open the book or look within it.
και εγω εκλαιον πολυ οτι ουδεις αξιος ευρεθη ανοιξαι το βιβλιον ουτε βλεπειν αυτο
5 But one of the elders said to me – “Do not weep. The Lion conquered – the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Scion of David – and can therefore open the book with its seven seals.”
και εις εκ των πρεσβυτερων λεγει μοι μη κλαιε ιδου ενικησεν ο λεων ο εκ της φυλης ιουδα η ριζα δαυιδ ανοιξαι το βιβλιον και τας επτα σφραγιδας αυτου
6 Then, within the space between the throne and the four creatures, and in the midst of the elders, I saw, standing, a Lamb, which seemed to have been sacrificed. It had seven horns and seven eyes. (These eyes are the seven spirits of God, and they are sent into all the world.)
και ειδον εν μεσω του θρονου και των τεσσαρων ζωων και εν μεσω των πρεσβυτερων αρνιον εστηκος ως εσφαγμενον εχον κερατα επτα και οφθαλμους επτα α εισιν τα επτα πνευματα του θεου αποστελλομενα εις πασαν την γην
7 The Lamb came forward; and he has taken the book from the right hand of him who was seated on the throne.
και ηλθεν και ειληφεν εκ της δεξιας του καθημενου επι του θρονου
8 And, when he had taken the book, the four creatures and the twenty-four elders prostrated themselves before the Lamb, each of them holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense. (These are the prayers of Christ’s people.)
και οτε ελαβεν το βιβλιον τα τεσσαρα ζωα και οι εικοσι τεσσαρες πρεσβυτεροι επεσαν ενωπιον του αρνιου εχοντες εκαστος κιθαραν και φιαλας χρυσας γεμουσας θυμιαματων αι εισιν αι προσευχαι των αγιων
9 And they are singing a new song – “You are worthy to take the book and break its seals, for you were sacrificed, and with your blood you did buy for God people of every tribe, and language, and people, and nation,
και αδουσιν ωδην καινην λεγοντες αξιος ει λαβειν το βιβλιον και ανοιξαι τας σφραγιδας αυτου οτι εσφαγης και ηγορασας τω θεω ημας εν τω αιματι σου εκ πασης φυλης και γλωσσης και λαου και εθνους
10 and did make them a kingdom of priests in the service of our God, and they are reigning on the earth.”
και εποιησας αυτους τω θεω ημων βασιλεις και ιερεις και βασιλευσουσιν επι της γης
11 Then, in my vision, I heard the voices of many angels round the throne, and of the creatures, and of the elders. In number they were ten thousand times ten thousand and thousands of thousands,
και ειδον και ηκουσα [ ως ] φωνην αγγελων πολλων κυκλω του θρονου και των ζωων και των πρεσβυτερων και ην ο αριθμος αυτων μυριαδες μυριαδων και χιλιαδες χιλιαδων
12 and they cried in a loud voice – “Worthy is the Lamb that was sacrificed to receive all power, and wealth, and wisdom, and might, and honour, and praise, and blessing.”
λεγοντες φωνη μεγαλη αξιον εστιν το αρνιον το εσφαγμενον λαβειν την δυναμιν και [ τον ] πλουτον και σοφιαν και ισχυν και τιμην και δοξαν και ευλογιαν
13 And I heard every created thing in the air, and on the earth, and under the earth, and on the sea, and all that is in them crying – “To him who is seated on the throne and to the Lamb be ascribed all blessing, and honour, and praise, and dominion for ever and ever.” (aiōn g165)
και παν κτισμα ο εν τω ουρανω και επι της γης και υποκατω της γης και επι της θαλασσης εστιν και τα εν αυτοις παντα ηκουσα λεγοντας τω καθημενω επι του θρονου και τω αρνιω η ευλογια και η τιμη και η δοξα και το κρατος εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων (aiōn g165)
14 And the four creatures said “Amen,” and the elders prostrated themselves and worshiped.
και τα τεσσαρα ζωα ελεγον αμην και οι πρεσβυτεροι επεσαν και προσεκυνησαν
