Apocalipsis 5
Nueva Biblia Viva
El rollo escrito y el Cordero
5 En eso noté que el que estaba sentado en el trono tenía en la mano derecha un pergamino enrollado, escrito por detrás y por delante y sellado con siete sellos. 2 En aquel mismo instante, un ángel poderoso preguntó con voz fuerte: «¿Quién es digno de abrir el pergamino y romper sus sellos?». 3 Pero nadie, ni en el cielo ni en la tierra ni debajo de la tierra, podía abrirlo para leerlo.
4 No pude contener el dolor que me embargó ante la desgracia de que no hubiera nadie digno de revelarnos el contenido del pergamino, y rompí a llorar.
5 Pero uno de los ancianos me dijo: «No llores. Allí está el León de la tribu de Judá, la Raíz de David, que con su victoria ha demostrado ser digno de romper los siete sellos del pergamino y desenrollarlo».
6 Entonces miré. En medio del trono, de los cuatro seres vivientes y de los ancianos, estaba un Cordero de pie en el que eran visibles las heridas que le causaron la muerte. Tenía siete cuernos y siete ojos, que representaban los siete espíritus de Dios enviados a todas partes del mundo.
7 El Cordero se acercó y recibió el rollo de la mano derecha del que estaba sentado en el trono. 8 Al hacerlo, los cuatro seres vivientes y los veinticuatro ancianos se postraron ante él con arpas y copas de oro llenas de incienso —que son las oraciones del pueblo santo—, 9 y dedicaron al Cordero este nuevo canto:
«Eres digno de recibir el pergamino y de romper sus sellos, porque fuiste sacrificado y con tu sangre compraste para Dios un pueblo de entre todos los linajes, pueblos, lenguas y naciones. 10 Así formaste un reino de sacerdotes que sirven a nuestro Dios y reinarán sobre la tierra».
11 Escuché entonces el canto de millones y millones de ángeles que rodeaban el trono, de los seres vivientes y de los ancianos. 12 Cantaban esto a gran voz:
«El Cordero que fue sacrificado es digno de recibir el poder, las riquezas, la sabiduría, la fortaleza, la honra, la gloria y la alabanza».
13 Y todas las criaturas del cielo, de la tierra, de debajo de la tierra y del mar, exclamaron:
«¡Que la alabanza, la honra, la gloria y el poder sean por siempre para el que está sentado en el trono y para el Cordero!».
14 Mientras tanto, los cuatro seres vivientes decían: «¡Amén!».
Y los veinticuatro ancianos se postraron y adoraron.
Revelation 5
Complete Jewish Bible
5 Next I saw in the right hand of the One sitting on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals; 2 and I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?” 3 But no one in heaven, on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or look inside it. 4 I cried and cried, because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or look inside it. 5 One of the elders said to me, “Don’t cry. Look, the Lion of the tribe of Y’hudah, the Root of David, has won the right to open the scroll and its seven seals.”
6 Then I saw standing there with the throne and the four living beings, in the circle of the elders, a Lamb that appeared to have been slaughtered. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the sevenfold Spirit of God sent out into all the earth. 7 He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of the One sitting on the throne. 8 When he took the scroll, the four living beings and the twenty-four elders fell down in front of the Lamb. Each one held a harp and gold bowls filled with pieces of incense, which are the prayers of God’s people; 9 and they sang a new song,
“You are worthy to take the scroll and break its seals;
because you were slaughtered;
at the cost of blood you ransomed for God
persons from every tribe, language, people and nation.
10 You made them into a kingdom for God to rule,
cohanim to serve him;
and they will rule over the earth.”
11 Then I looked, and I heard the sound of a vast number of angels — thousands and thousands, millions and millions! They were all around the throne, the living beings and the elders; 12 and they shouted out,
“Worthy is the slaughtered Lamb to receive
power, riches, wisdom, strength,
honor, glory and praise!”
13 And I heard every creature in heaven, on earth, under the earth and on the sea — yes, everything in them — saying,
“To the One sitting on the throne
and to the Lamb
belong praise, honor, glory and power
forever and ever!”
14 The four living beings said, “Amen!” and the elders fell down and worshipped.

The Scroll and the Lamb
5 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. 2 And I saw a mighty angel(D) proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” 3 But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it. 4 I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside. 5 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.”
6 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. 7 He went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne.(M) 8 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. 9 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)
