Revelation 5
New International Version
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)

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.
Revelation 5
King James Version
5 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, 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.
7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to 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 the beasts 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 that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
13 And 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, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
Pahayag 5
Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version
Ang Aklat at ang Kordero
5 At nakita (A) ko sa kanang kamay ng nakaupo sa trono ang isang balumbon na may sulat sa harap at likod at sarado ng pitong tatak. 2 Nakita ko rin ang isang makapangyarihang anghel na pasigaw na nagpapahayag, “Sino ang karapat-dapat na magbukas ng balumbon at magtanggal ng mga tatak nito?” 3 Ngunit walang sinuman sa langit, sa lupa o sa ilalim man ng lupa ang makapagbukas ng balumbon o kaya'y makatingin sa loob nito. 4 Umiyak ako nang umiyak dahil walang natagpuang karapat-dapat na magbukas ng balumbon o tumingin sa loob nito. 5 (B) Isa sa matatanda ay nagsabi sa akin, “Huwag kang umiyak. Tingnan mo, ang Leon ng lipi ni Juda, na ugat ni David, ay nagtagumpay at kaya niyang buksan ang balumbon at tanggalin ang pitong tatak nito.”
6 At (C) nakita ko sa gitna ng trono at ng apat na buháy na nilalang at ng matatanda ang isang Korderong nakatayo, na tulad ng isang pinatay na may pitong sungay at pitong mata. Ang mga ito'y ang pitong[a] espiritu ng Diyos na isinugo sa buong daigdig. 7 Lumapit ang Kordero at kinuha ang balumbon sa kanang kamay ng nakaupo sa trono. 8 At nang (D) makuha niya ang balumbon, nagpatirapa sa harap ng Kordero ang apat na buháy na nilalang at ang dalawampu't apat na matatanda. Ang bawat isa ay may hawak na alpa at mga gintong mangkok na puno ng insenso, na ang mga ito'y mga panalangin ng mga banal. 9 At umaawit (E) sila ng isang bagong awit:
“Ikaw ang karapat-dapat na kumuha sa balumbon
at magbukas sa mga tatak nito,
sapagkat ikaw ay pinaslang at sa pamamagitan ng iyong dugo, tinubos mo para sa Diyos
ang tao mula sa bawat lipi, wika, bayan, at bansa;
10 at ginawa (F) mo silang isang kaharian at mga paring naglilingkod sa aming Diyos,
at sila'y maghahari sa daigdig.”
11 (G) Ako'y muling tumingin at narinig ko ang tinig ng maraming mga anghel na nakapaligid sa trono, at ng mga buháy na nilalang, at ng mga matatanda; milyun-milyon at libu-libo ang bilang nila, 12 na malakas na umaawit,
“Ang pinaslang na kordero ay karapat-dapat
na tumanggap ng kapangyarihan, kayamanan, karunungan, kalakasan,
karangalan, kaluwalhatian, at kapurihan!”
13 At narinig ko ang bawat nilalang sa langit at sa lupa, at sa ilalim ng lupa at sa dagat, at maging ang lahat ng bagay na nasa mga ito, na nagsasabi,
“Sa kanya na nakaupo sa trono at sa Kordero
ay kapurihan, karangalan, kaluwalhatian, at kapangyarihan
magpakailanpaman!”
14 Sinabi ng apat na buháy na nilalang, “Amen!” At nagpatirapa ang matatanda at sila'y sumamba.
