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;

In v desnici njega, ki je sedèl na prestolu, sem videl knjigo, popisano znotraj in na zadnji strani, zapečateno s sedmimi pečati.

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?’

In videl sem krepkega angela razglašati z močnim glasom: »Kdo je vreden, da odpre knjigo in da odtrga njene pečate?«

3 But no one either in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the book or look within it.

In nihče na nebu niti na zemlji niti pod zemljo, ni bil zmožen, da odpre knjigo niti, da pogleda nanjo.

4 At this I wept long, because no one could be found who was worthy to open the book or look within it.

In zelo sem jokal, ker se ni našel nihče vreden, da odpre in da bere knjigo niti, da pogleda nanjo.

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.’

In eden izmed starešin mi reče: »Ne jokaj; glej, Lev iz Judovega rodu, Davidova Korenina, je prevladal, da odpre knjigo in da razveže njenih sedem pečatov.«

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.)

In pogledal sem in glej, na sredini prestola in štirih živali in sredi starešin je stalo Jagnje, kot bi bilo zaklano in je imelo sedem rogov in sedem oči, ki so sedem Božjih Duhov, poslanih po vsej zemlji.

7 The Lamb came forward; and he has taken the book from the right hand of him who was seated on the throne.

In prišlo je ter vzelo knjigo iz desnice tistega, ki je sedel na prestolu.

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.)

In ko je vzelo knjigo, so štiri živali in štiriindvajset starešin padli dol pred Jagnjetom in vsi izmed njih so imeli harfe in zlate stekleničke, polne dišav, ki so molitve svetih.

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,

In peli so novo pesem, rekoč: »Vredno si, da vzameš to knjigo in da odpreš njene pečate; kajti bilo si umorjeno in s svojo krvjo si nas odkupilo Bogu izmed vsakega sorodstva in jezika in ljudstva in naroda

10 and did make them a kingdom of priests in the service of our God, and they are reigning on the earth.’

in si nas naredilo [za] kralje in duhovnike pri našemu Bogu, in mi bomo kraljevali na zemlji.«

11 Then, in my vision, I heard the voices of many angels around the throne, and of the creatures, and of the elders. In number they were ten thousand times ten thousand and thousands of thousands,

In zagledal sem in zaslišal glas mnogih angelov naokoli prestola in živali in starešin, in njihovo število je bilo desettisočkrat deset tisoč in tisočev tisoči,

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 honor, and praise, and blessing.’

ki so z močnim glasom govorili: »Vredno je Jagnje, ki je bilo zaklano, da prejme oblast in bogastva in modrost in moč in čast in slavo in blagoslov.«

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 honor, and praise, and dominion for ever and ever.’ (aiōn g165)

In vsako ustvarjeno bitje, ki je na nebu in na zemlji in pod zemljo in takšna, kot so v morju in vse, ki so v njem, sem slišal govoriti: »Blagoslov in čast in slava in oblast naj bo njemu, ki sedi na prestolu in Jagnjetu na veke vekov.« (aiōn g165)

14 And the four creatures said ‘Amen,’ and the elders prostrated themselves and worshiped.

In štiri živali so rekle: »Amen.« In štiriindvajset starešin je padlo dol in oboževalo tistega, ki živi na veke vekov.
