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.

羔羊与封印的书卷
5 接着，我看见坐在宝座上的那位右手拿着一卷内外写着字、用七个印封住的书。 2 有一位大力天使高声问道：“谁有资格揭开那七个封印，打开那卷书？” 3 可是，天上、地上、甚至地底下都没有人有资格揭开并阅读那卷书。 4 我见无人有资格揭开并阅读那卷书，便放声大哭。 5 有一位长老对我说：“不要哭。你看，犹大支派的狮子、大卫的根已经得胜了！祂能揭开那七个封印，打开那卷书。”
6 我又看到宝座、四个活物和众长老之间站着一只好像是被宰杀过的羔羊。祂身上的七只角和七只眼睛代表奉差遣到普天下去的上帝的七灵。 7 那羔羊走上前去，从坐在宝座上的那位右手中接过书卷。 8 祂拿过书卷后，四个活物和二十四位长老就俯伏在羔羊面前，各拿着竖琴和盛满了香的金香炉。那些香就是众圣徒的祈祷。 9 他们唱着一首新歌：
“你配拿书卷并揭开封印，
因你曾被杀，
用你的血从各部落、各语言族群、各民族、各国家，
将人买赎回来归给上帝。
10 你又使他们成为上帝的国度和祭司，
他们要在地上执掌王权。”
11 我看见宝座、四个活物和众长老的周围有千千万万的天使，又听见他们高声呼喊： 12 “那被杀的羔羊配得权柄、财富、智慧、能力、尊贵、荣耀和颂赞！”
13 我又听到天上、地上、地底下和海洋中一切被造之物同声说：“愿颂赞、尊贵、荣耀和权柄都归于坐在宝座上的那位和羔羊，直到永永远远！” 14 四个活物就说：“阿们！”众长老也俯伏敬拜。

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.

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)
