启示录 5
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
羔羊与书卷
5 接着,我看见坐在宝座上的那一位右手中拿着一个书卷,内外都写着字,用七个封印封住。 2 我又看见一位强有力的天使,大声地宣告:“谁配打开这书卷,解开它的封印呢?” 3 可是在天上、在地上、在地底下,都没有一个能打开或阅读那书卷的。 4 于是我就大哭,因为找不到配打开[a]或阅读那书卷的。
5 可是长老中有一位对我说:“不要哭了!看哪,那出于犹大支派的狮子、大卫的根已经得胜,可以打开那书卷和[b]它的七个封印。” 6 随后,我看见[c]在宝座和四个活物当中,在长老们当中,站着一只羔羊,好像是被杀过的。羔羊有七只角和七只眼,那七只眼就是神的七个灵,是奉差派往全地去的。 7 羔羊上前去,从坐在宝座上那一位的右手中拿了书卷[d]。
羔羊配得颂赞
8 他一接到书卷,四个活物和二十四位长老就俯伏在羔羊面前,他们各拿着一把竖琴和盛满香的金碗;这些香就是圣徒们的祷告。 9 他们唱着一首新歌,说:
“你配接受那书卷,
配打开它的封印,
因为你曾被杀,
用自己的血,
从各支派、各语言群体、
各民族、各国家,
为神赎回了人[e],
10 使他们[f]成为我们神的国度[g]和祭司;
他们[h]将要在地上做王[i]。”
11 我又观看,就听见在宝座、活物和长老们的周围,有许多天使的声音;他们的数目有千千万万。 12 他们大声说:
“那被杀的羔羊配接受
权能、财富、智慧、力量、
尊贵、荣耀和颂赞!”
13 我又听见天上、地上、地底下和海中的一切被造之物,以及天地间[j]的万有,都在说:
“愿颂赞、尊贵、荣耀和权能,
都归于坐在宝座上的那一位,
都归于羔羊,直到永永远远!”
Revelation 5
New King James Version
The Lamb Takes the Scroll
5 And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne (A)a scroll written inside and on the back, (B)sealed with seven seals. 2 Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, (C)“Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?” 3 And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it.
4 So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open [a]and read the scroll, or to look at it. 5 But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, (D)the Lion of the tribe of (E)Judah, (F)the Root of David, has (G)prevailed to open the scroll (H)and [b]to loose its seven seals.”
6 And I looked, [c]and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood (I)a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and (J)seven eyes, which are (K)the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth. 7 Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand (L)of Him who sat on the throne.
Worthy Is the Lamb
8 Now when He had taken the scroll, (M)the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the (N)prayers of the saints. 9 And (O)they sang a new song, saying:
(P)“You are worthy to take the scroll,
And to open its seals;
For You were slain,
And (Q)have redeemed us to God (R)by Your blood
Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
10 And have made [d]us (S)kings[e] and (T)priests to our God;
And [f]we shall reign on the earth.”
11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice:
“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
To receive power and riches and wisdom,
And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”
13 And (U)every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying:
(V)“Blessing and honor and glory and power
Be to Him (W)who sits on the throne,
And to the Lamb, forever and [g]ever!”
14 Then the four living creatures said, “Amen!” And the [h]twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped [i]Him who lives forever and ever.
