И видях в десницата на седещия на престола книга, написана отвътре и отвън запечатана със седем печата.

И видях, че един силен ангел прогласяваше с висок глас: Кой е достоен да разгъне книгата и разпечата печатите й?

И никой, нито на небето, нито на земята, не можеше да разгъне книгата нито да я гледа.

И аз плаках много, защото никой не се намери достоен да разгъне книгата нито да я гледа.

Но един от старците ми каза: "Недей плака: ето лъвът, който е от Юдовото племе, който е Давидовият корен, превъзмогна, за да разгъне книгата и да разпечата нейните седем печата".

И видях между престола и четирите живи същества между тях и старците, че стоеше Агне като заклано, което имаше седем рога и седем очи, които са седемте Божии духове, разпратени по цялата земя.

И то дойде та взе книгата из десницата на седещия на престола.

И когато взе книгата, четирите живи същества и двадесетте и четири старци паднаха пред Агнето, като всеки държеше арфа и златни чаши пълни с темян, които са молитвите на светиите.

И пеят нова песен, думайки: Достоен си да вземеш книгата и да разпечаташ печатите й: защото си бил заклан, и със Своята кръв си изкупил за Бога човеци от всяко племе, език, люде и народ

10 и направил си ги на нашия Бог царство и свещеници: и те царуват на земята.

11 И видях и чух глас от много ангели около престола и живите същества и старците; (и числото им беше десетки хиляди по десетки хиляди и хиляди по хиляди):

12 и казваха с висок глас: Достойно е Агнето, което е било заклано, да приеме сила и богатство, премъдрост и могъщество, почит, слава и благословение.

13 И всяко създание, което е на небето, на земята и под земята и по морето и всичко що има в тях, чух да казват: На Този, Който седи на престола, и на Агнето да бъде благословение и почит, слава и господство, до вечни векове.

14 И четирите живи същества казаха: Амин! И старците паднаха, та се поклониха.

Lammet och bokrullen med sju sigill

Och jag såg att han som satt på tronen hade en bokrulle i högra handen. Den hade text på båda sidor och var förseglad med sju sigill.

En väldig ängel ropade med hög röst ut denna fråga: Vem är värdig att bryta sigillen på denna bok och öppna den?

Men ingen i hela himlen eller på jorden eller bland de döda fick tillåtelse att öppna och läsa den.

Då grät jag av besvikelse, eftersom ingen var värdig. Ingen kunde berätta för oss vad som stod i den.

Då sa en av de tjugofyra äldste till mig: Gråt inte längre, för Jesus, lejonet av Juda stam, Davids rotskott, har segrat och visat sig värdig att öppna boken och bryta dess sju sigill.

Jag tittade upp och fick se ett lamm, som stod framför de tjugofyra äldste vid tronen och de fyra väsendena, och lammet var märkt av sår som en gång hade vållat dess död. Det hade sju horn och sju ögon, som representerar Guds sju andar, som är utsända till varje del av världen.

Det steg fram och tog boken ur högra handen på honom som satt på tronen.

Och när det tog boken, föll de tjugofyra äldste ner framför Lammet. Var och en hade en harpa och en guldskål fylld med rökelse. Det är Guds folks böner.

De sjöng en ny sång med denna text: Du är värdig att ta boken och bryta dess sigill och öppna den, för du har blivit slaktad, och ditt blod har friköpt människor från alla folk.

10 Och du har samlat dem till ett rike och gjort dem till präster åt vår Gud, och de ska regera på jorden.

11 Sedan såg jag tusentals änglar och jag hörde dem sjunga. De stod runt tronen och de fyra levande väsendena och de äldste.

12 Och de sjöng med väldig kraft: Lammet som blev slaktat. Det är värdigt att ta emot makten och rikedomen och visheten och styrkan och äran och härligheten och välsignelsen.

13 Sedan hörde jag alla i himlen och på jorden och de döda under jorden och i havet ropa: Välsignelsen och äran och härligheten och kraften tillhör honom, som sitter på tronen, och Lammet i evigheternas evigheter.

14 Och de fyra levande väsendena fortsatte att säga: Amen! Och de tjugofyra äldste föll ner och tillbad honom.

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.

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

And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.

And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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)
