Apocalypsis 5

1 Et vidi in dextera sedentis supra thronum, librum scriptum intus et foris, signatum sigillis septem.

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 Et vidi Angelum fortem, praedicantem voce magna: Quis est dignus aperire librum, et solvere signacula eius?

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

3 Et nemo poterat neque in caelo, neque in terra, neque subtus terram aperire librum, neque respicere illum.

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 Et ego flebam multum, quoniam nemo dignus inventus est aperire librum, nec videre eum.

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

5 Et unus de senioribus dixit mihi: Ne fleveris: ecce vicit leo de tribu Iuda, radix David, aperire librum, et solvere septem signacula eius.

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 Et vidi: et ecce in medio throni et quattuor animalium, et in medio seniorum, agnum stantem tamquam occisum, habentem cornua septem, et oculos septem: qui sunt septem spiritus Dei, missi in omnem terram.

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 Et venit: et accepit de dextera sedentis in throno librum.

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

8 Et cum aperuisset librum, quattuor animalia, et vigintiquattuor seniores ceciderunt coram agno, habentes singuli citharas, et phialas aureas plenas odoramentorum, quae sunt orationes sanctorum:

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 et cantabant canticum novum, dicentes: Dignus es Domine accipere librum, et aperire signacula eius: quoniam occisus es, et redemisti nos Deo in sanguine tuo ex omni tribu, et lingua, et populo, et natione:

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 et fecisti nos Deo nostro regnum, et sacerdotes: et regnabimus super terram.

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

11 Et vidi, et audivi vocem angelorum multorum in circuitu throni, et animalium, et seniorum: et erat numerus eorum millia millium,

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 dicentium voce magna: Dignus est Agnus, qui occisus est, accipere virtutem, et divinitatem, et sapientiam, et fortitudinem, et honorem, et gloriam, et benedictionem.

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 Et omnem creaturam, quae in caelo est, et super terram, et sub terra, et quae sunt in mari, et quae in eo: omnes audivi dicentes: Sedenti in throno, et Agno: benedictio, et honor, et gloria, et potestas in saecula saeculorum. (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 Et quattuor animalia dicebant: Amen. Et viginti quattuor seniores ceciderunt in facies suas: et adoraverunt viventem in saecula saeculorum.

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