Apocalypsis 5
1 Et vidi in dextera sedentis supra thronum, librum scriptum intus et foris, signatum sigillis septem.
I saw, in the right hand of him who sat on the throne, a book written inside and outside, sealed shut with seven seals.
2 Et vidi Angelum fortem, praedicantem voce magna: Quis est dignus aperire librum, et solvere signacula eius?
I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the book, and to break its seals?”
3 Et nemo poterat neque in caelo, neque in terra, neque subtus terram aperire librum, neque respicere illum.
No one in heaven above, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book or to look in it.
4 Et ego flebam multum, quoniam nemo dignus inventus est aperire librum, nec videre eum.
Then I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the book or to look in 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.
One of the elders said to me, “Don’t weep. Behold, the Lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome: he who opens the book and 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.
I saw in the middle of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the middle of the elders, a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth.
7 Et venit: et accepit de dextera sedentis in throno librum.
Then he came, and he took it out of the right hand of him who sat 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:
Now when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one having a harp, and 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:
They sang a new song, saying, “You are worthy to take the book and to open its seals, for you were killed, and bought us for God with your blood out of every tribe, language, people, and nation,
10 et fecisti nos Deo nostro regnum, et sacerdotes: et regnabimus super terram.
and made us kings and priests to our God; and we will reign on the earth.”
11 Et vidi, et audivi vocem angelorum multorum in circuitu throni, et animalium, et seniorum: et erat numerus eorum millia millium,
I looked, and I heard something like a voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders. The number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, 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.
saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who has been killed to receive the power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, 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)
I heard every created thing which is in heaven, on the earth, under the earth, on the sea, and everything in them, saying, “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion, forever and ever! Amen!” (aiōn g165)
14 Et quattuor animalia dicebant: Amen. Et viginti quattuor seniores ceciderunt in facies suas: et adoraverunt viventem in saecula saeculorum.
The four living creatures said, “Amen!” Then the elders fell down and worshiped.
