Revelation 5
1 I saw that there was a scroll in the right hand of the one who was sitting on the throne. The scroll was written on its outside as well as on its inside, and it was sealed {Someone had written on the outside as well as on the inside of the scroll and sealed it} with seven seals.
Und ich sah in der rechten Hand des, der auf dem Stuhl saß, ein Buch, geschrieben inwendig und auswendig, versiegelt mit sieben Siegeln.
2 I saw a strong angel who was announcing in a loud voice, “(The person who is worthy to break the seals of the scroll and then to open it should come to do it!/Who is worthy to break the seals of the scroll and then to open it?)” [RHQ]
Und ich sah einen starken Engel predigen mit großer Stimme: Wer ist würdig, das Buch aufzutun und seine Siegel zu brechen?
3 But no created being in heaven nor any created being on the earth nor any created being under the earth was able to open the scroll and see what was written on it.
Und niemand im Himmel noch auf Erden noch unter der Erde konnte das Buch auftun und hineinsehen.
4 I cried loudly because there was no one worthy to do that.
Und ich weinete sehr, daß niemand würdig erfunden ward, das Buch aufzutun und zu lesen noch hineinzusehen.
5 But one of the elders said to me, “Do not cry any longer! Look, the one who is called the Lion from the tribe of Judah, the Messiah who is the descendant of King David, has overcome Satan! As a result, he is worthy to break the seven seals on the scroll and open it!”
Und einer von den Ältesten spricht zu mir: Weine nicht! Siehe, es hat überwunden der Löwe, der da ist vom Geschlecht Judas, die Wurzel Davids, aufzutun das Buch und zu brechen seine sieben Siegel.
6 Then I saw Jesus, the one who is like a [MET] sacrificial lamb, standing there. He stood near the throne, in the midst of the four living creatures and the elders. It appeared that he had been killed {that people had killed him}, but he was alive again. He had seven horns [on his head], and he had seven eyes that symbolize the Spirit of God who has all kinds of power (OR, who is also symbolized as seven spirits). [He] sends [God’s] Spirit out into all the earth.
Und ich sah, und siehe, mitten im Stuhl und den vier Tieren und mitten unter den Ältesten stund ein Lamm, wie es erwürget wäre, und hatte sieben Hörner und sieben Augen, welches sind die sieben Geister Gottes, gesandt in alle Lande.
7 He came and took the scroll from the right hand of the one who sits on the throne.
Und es kam und nahm das Buch aus der rechten Hand des, der auf dem Stuhl saß.
8 When he took the scroll, the four living [creatures] and the 24 elders (prostrated themselves/knelt down) before [Jesus], the [one who is like a] lamb, [to worship him]. They each had a harp, and they had golden bowls full of incense that [represents] the prayers of God’s people.
Und da es das Buch nahm, da fielen die vier Tiere und die vierundzwanzig Ältesten vor das Lamm und hatten ein jeglicher Harfen und güldene Schalen voll Räuchwerks, welches sind die Gebete der Heiligen,
9 The living [creatures] and the elders sang a new song. They sang: You are worthy to receive the scroll and to open its seals, because you were killed, and because you redeemed/bought people for God from every tribe, language [MTY], people-group, and nation with the blood that flowed from your body when you died.
und sangen ein neu Lied und sprachen: Du bist würdig, zu nehmen das Buch und aufzutun seine Siegel; denn du bist erwürget und hast uns Gott erkauft mit deinem Blut aus allerlei Geschlecht und Zungen und Volk und Heiden
10 You have caused them to become a people over whom our God rules, and to become priests who serve him, and they will rule on [MTY] the earth.
und hast uns unserm Gott zu Königen und Priestern gemacht, und wir werden Könige sein auf Erden.
11 As I [continued to] look, I heard the voices of many angels around the throne and around the living [creatures] and the elders. There were millions of them, a [crowd so large that no one could count them].
Und ich sah und hörete eine Stimme vieler Engel um den Stuhl und um die Tiere und um die Ältesten her; und ihre Zahl war viel tausendmal tausend.
12 They were singing in a loud voice: “The one who is like a lamb was killed {whom his enemies killed} but he became alive again. He is worthy that all created beings acknowledge that he is infinitely powerful, infinitely rich, infinitely wise, and infinitely strong! He is worthy of being honored and praised by all created beings!”
Und sprachen mit großer Stimme: Das Lamm, das erwürget ist, ist würdig, zu nehmen Kraft und Reichtum und Weisheit und Stärke und Ehre und Preis und Lob.
13 I also heard every creature that is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the ocean, every creature in all those places, saying (OR, singing): “We must forever praise and honor the one who sits on the throne and the one who is like a lamb, May they reign with complete power forever!” (aiōn g165)
Und alle Kreatur, die im Himmel ist und auf Erden und unter der Erde und im Meer, und alles, was drinnen ist, hörete ich sagen zu dem, der auf dem Stuhl saß, und zu dem Lamm: Lob und Ehre und Preis und Gewalt von Ewigkeit zu Ewigkeit! (aiōn g165)
14 The four living [creatures] said, “(Amen!/May it be so!)” Then the elders prostrated themselves and worshipped [God and Jesus].
Und die vier Tiere sprachen: Amen. Und die vierundzwanzig Ältesten fielen nieder und beteten an den, der da lebet von Ewigkeit zu Ewigkeit.
