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.

۱ و دیدم بر دست راست تخت‌نشین، کتابی را که مکتوب است از درون و بیرون، ومختوم به هفت مهر.

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]

۲ و فرشته‌ای قوی را دیدم که به آواز بلند ندا می‌کند که «کیست مستحق اینکه کتاب را بگشاید و مهرهایش را بردارد؟»

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.

۳ وهیچ‌کس در آسمان و در زمین و در زیرزمین نتوانست آن کتاب را باز کند یا بر آن نظر کند.

4 I cried loudly because there was no one worthy to do that.

۴ ومن بشدت می‌گریستم زیرا هیچ‌کس که شایسته گشودن کتاب یا خواندن آن یا نظر کردن بر آن باشد، یافت نشد.

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!”

۵ و یکی از آن پیران به من می‌گوید: «گریان مباش! اینک آن شیری که ازسبط یهودا و ریشه داود است، غالب آمده است تاکتاب و هفت مهرش را بگشاید.»

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.

۶ و دیدم در میان تخت و چهار حیوان و دروسط پیران، بره‌ای چون ذبح شده ایستاده است وهفت شاخ و هفت چشم دارد که هفت روح خدایند که به تمامی جهان فرستاده می‌شوند.

7 He came and took the scroll from the right hand of the one who sits on the throne.

۷ پس آمد و کتاب را از دست راست تخت‌نشین گرفته است.

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.

۸ و چون کتاب را گرفت، آن چهارحیوان و بیست و چهار پیر به حضور بره افتادند وهر یکی از ایشان بربطی و کاسه های زرین پر از بخور دارند که دعاهای مقدسین است.

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.

۹ وسرودی جدید می‌سرایند و می‌گویند: «مستحق گرفتن کتاب و گشودن مهرهایش هستی زیرا که ذبح شدی و مردمان را برای خدا به خون خود ازهر قبیله و زبان و قوم و امت خریدی

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.

۱۰ و ایشان را برای خدای ما پادشاهان و کهنه ساختی و برزمین سلطنت خواهند کرد.»

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].

۱۱ و دیدم و شنیدم صدای فرشتگان بسیار راکه گرداگرد تخت و حیوانات و پیران بودند و عددایشان کرورها کرور و هزاران هزار بود؛

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!”

۱۲ که به آواز بلند می‌گویند: «مستحق است بره ذبح شده که قوت و دولت و حکمت و توانایی و اکرام وجلال و برکت را بیابد.»

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)

۱۳ و هر مخلوقی که در آسمان و بر زمین وزیرزمین و در دریاست و آنچه در آنها می‌باشد، شنیدم که می‌گویند: «تخت‌نشین و بره را برکت وتکریم و جلال و توانایی باد تا ابدالاباد.» (aiōn g165)

14 The four living [creatures] said, “(Amen!/May it be so!)” Then the elders prostrated themselves and worshipped [God and Jesus].

۱۴ وچهار حیوان گفتند: «آمین!» و آن پیران به روی درافتادند و سجده نمودند.
