Ang Aklat at ang Kordero

At(A) nakita ko sa kanang kamay ng nakaupo sa trono ang isang aklat[a] na may sulat sa loob at sa likod, na tinatakan ng pitong tatak.

At nakita ko ang isang makapangyarihang anghel na nagpapahayag sa malakas na tinig, “Sino ang karapat-dapat magbukas ng aklat at magtanggal ng mga tatak nito?”

At walang sinuman sa langit, o sa ibabaw man ng lupa, o sa ilalim man ng lupa, ang makapagbukas ng aklat o makatingin man sa loob nito.

Ako'y labis na umiyak, sapagkat walang natagpuang sinuman na karapat-dapat magbukas ng aklat, o tumingin sa loob nito.

At(B) sinabi sa akin ng isa sa matatanda, “Huwag kang umiyak. Tingnan mo, ang Leon sa lipi ni Juda, ang Ugat ni David, ay nagtagumpay upang mabuksan niya ang aklat at ang pitong tatak nito.”

Pagkatapos(C) ay nakita ko sa gitna ng trono at ng apat na nilalang na buháy at sa gitna ng matatanda ang isang Korderong nakatayo, na tulad sa isang pinaslang, na may pitong sungay at pitong mata na siyang pitong Espiritu ng Diyos, na sinugo sa buong daigdig.

Siya'y lumapit, at kinuha ang aklat sa kanang kamay ng nakaluklok sa trono.

Pagkakuha(D) niya sa aklat, ang apat na nilalang na buháy at ang dalawampu't apat na matatanda ay nagpatirapa sa harapan ng Kordero, na ang bawat isa'y may alpa, at mga mangkok na ginto na punô ng insenso, na siyang mga panalangin ng mga banal.

At(E) sila'y nag-aawitan ng isang bagong awit, na nagsasabi,

“Ikaw ay karapat-dapat na kumuha sa aklat
    at magbukas ng mga tatak nito,
sapagkat ikaw ay pinatay, at sa pamamagitan ng iyong dugo ay binili mo para sa Diyos
    ang mga tao mula sa bawat lipi, wika, bayan, at bansa.
10 At(F) sila'y iyong ginawang isang kaharian at mga pari para sa aming Diyos;
    at sila'y maghahari sa ibabaw ng lupa.”

11 Nakita(G) ko at narinig ang tinig ng maraming mga anghel sa palibot ng trono at ng mga nilalang na buháy at ng matatanda; at ang bilang nila ay milyun-milyon at libu-libo,

12 na nagsasabi ng may malakas na tinig,

“Ang Kordero na pinaslang ay karapat-dapat
tumanggap ng kapangyarihan, kayamanan, karunungan, kalakasan, karangalan, kaluwalhatian, at kapurihan.”

13 At ang bawat bagay na nilalang na nasa langit, at nasa ibabaw ng lupa, at nasa ilalim ng lupa, at nasa ibabaw ng dagat, at lahat ng mga bagay na nasa mga ito ay narinig kong nagsasabi,

“Sa kanya na nakaupo sa trono at sa Kordero
ay ang kapurihan, karangalan, kaluwalhatian, at kapangyarihan, magpakailanpaman.

14 At ang apat na nilalang na buháy ay nagsabi, “Amen!” At ang matatanda ay nagpatirapa at sumamba.

  1. Apocalipsis 5:1 o balumbon .

¶ And I saw in the right hand of him that was seated on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.

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

And no one was able not in the heaven nor in the earth neither under the earth to open the book neither to look upon it.

And I wept much because no one was found worthy to open the book nor to read it neither to look upon it.

And one of the elders said unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, who has overcome to open the book and to loose its seven seals.

¶ And I saw, and, behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four animals and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that was seated upon the throne.

And when he had taken the book, the four animals and the twenty-four elders fell on their faces before the Lamb, each one of them having harps, and golden vials full of incense, which are the prayers of saints.

And they sang a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book and to open its seals, for thou wast slain and hast redeemed us unto God by thy blood, out of every kindred and tongue and people and nation

10 and hast made us unto our God kings and priests, and we shall reign on the earth.

11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and of the animals and of 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 that was slain to take power and riches and wisdom and strength and honour and glory and blessing.

13 And I heard every creature which is in heaven and upon the earth and under the earth and such as are upon the sea and all that are in it, saying, Blessing and honour and glory and power, be unto him that is seated upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

14 And the four animals said, Amen. And the twenty-four elders fell on their faces and worshipped him that lives for ever and ever.

The Scroll and the Lamb

Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne(A) a scroll with writing on both sides(B) and sealed(C) with seven seals. And I saw a mighty angel(D) proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it. I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside. Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion(E) of the tribe of Judah,(F) the Root of David,(G) has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

Then I saw a Lamb,(H) looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures(I) and the elders.(J) The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes,(K) which are the seven spirits[a](L) of God sent out into all the earth. He went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne.(M) And when he had taken it, the four living creatures(N) and the twenty-four elders(O) fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp(P) and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers(Q) of God’s people. And they sang a new song, saying:(R)

“You are worthy(S) to take the scroll
    and to open its seals,
because you were slain,
    and with your blood(T) you purchased(U) for God
    persons from every tribe and language and people and nation.(V)
10 You have made them to be a kingdom and priests(W) to serve our God,
    and they will reign[b] on the earth.”(X)

11 Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand.(Y) They encircled the throne and the living creatures(Z) and the elders.(AA) 12 In a loud voice they were saying:

“Worthy is the Lamb,(AB) who was slain,(AC)
    to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength
    and honor and glory and praise!”(AD)

13 Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth(AE) and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying:

“To him who sits on the throne(AF) and to the Lamb(AG)
    be praise and honor and glory and power,
for ever and ever!”(AH)

14 The four living creatures(AI) said, “Amen,”(AJ) and the elders(AK) fell down and worshiped.(AL)
