启示录 5
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
得胜的羊羔配展开书卷
5 我看见那位坐在宝座上的，右手拿着书卷，这书卷的两面都写满了字，用七个印封着。 2 我又看见一位大力的天使，大声宣告说：“谁配展开那书卷，拆开它的封印呢？” 3 在天上、地上、地底下，没有一个能够展开书卷观看的。 4 因为没有人配展开观看书卷，我就大哭。 5 长老中有一位对我说：“不要哭！看哪，那从犹大支派出来的狮子，大卫的根，他已经得胜了，他能够展开那书卷，拆开它的七印。”
6 我又看见在宝座和四个活物中间，并且在众长老中间，有羊羔站着，像是被杀过的。他有七角七眼，就是 神的七灵，奉差遣到全地去的。 7 羊羔走过去，从坐在宝座上那位的右手中取了书卷。 8 他拿了书卷之后，四个活物和二十四位长老就俯伏在羊羔面前，各拿着琴和盛满了香的金炉，这香就是众圣徒的祈祷。 9 他们唱着新歌，说：
“你配取书卷，配拆开封印，
因为你曾被杀，曾用你的血，
从各支派、各方言、各民族、各邦国，
把人买了来归给 神，
10 使他们成为我们 神的国度和祭司，
他们要在地上执掌王权。”
11 我又观看，听见了千千万万天使的声音，他们都在宝座、活物和长老的四周， 12 大声说：
“被杀的羊羔是配得
权能、丰富、智慧、力量、
尊贵、荣耀、颂赞的！”
13 我又听见在天上、地上、地底下和海里的一切被造之物，以及天地间的万有，都说：
“愿颂赞、尊贵、荣耀、能力，
都归给坐在宝座上的那一位和羊羔，
直到永永远远！”
14 四个活物就说：“阿们！”众长老也俯伏敬拜。

Orthodox Jewish Bible
5 And I saw on the yad yamin (right hand) of the One sitting on the Kes (Throne) a sefer (book) having been written inside and on the back, having been sealed with sheva chotamot (seven seals). [YECHEZKEL 2:9,10; YESHAYAH 29:11; DANIEL 12:4]
2 And I saw a strong malach (angel), proclaiming in a kol gadol (loud voice), Who is worthy to open the sefer (book) and break its chotamot (seals)?
3 And no one in Shomayim or on ha’aretz or under ha’aretz was being able to open the sefer (book) or to look into it.
4 And I was weeping copiously because no one was found worthy to open the sefer (book) or to look into it.
5 And one of the Zekenim says to me, Do not weep, hinei, HaAryeh (The Lion) from the Shevet Yehudah (Tribe of Judah), the Shoresh Dovid (Root of Dovid), has won the nitzachon (victory) and he is able to open the sefer (book) and its sheva chotamot (seven seals). [BERESHIS 49:9; YESHAYAH 11:1,10]
6 And I saw between the Kes (Throne) and the Arbah Chayyot (four living beings) and among the Zekenim (Elders, SHEMOT 12:21) a SEH (Lamb, YESHAYAH 53:7, Moshiach) having stood as having been slain, having sheva karnayim (horns, omnipotence), sheva eynayim (eyes, omniscience), which are the sheva ruchot (spirits) of Hashem having been sent into kol ha’aretz (all the earth).
7 And the SEH (Lamb, YESHAYAH 53:7) came and has taken the sefer out of the yad yamin (right hand) of the One sitting on the Kes (Throne).
8 And when the SEH (YESHAYAH 53:7) received the sefer, the Arbah Chayyot (four living beings) and the esrim v’arba’ah Zekenim (twenty-four Elders, SHEMOT 12:21) fell down before the SEH, (Lamb, YESHAYAH 53:7) each one having a nevel (harp) and golden ke’arot (bowls) full of ketoret (incense), which are the tefillos (prayers) of the Kadoshim. [TEHILLIM 141:2;16:3]
9 And they are singing a SHIR CHADASH (TEHILLIM 96:1) saying, Worthy art thou to take the sefer (book) and to open the chotamot (seals) of it, because you were slain and with your dahm [kapporah] you paid the price for the Geulah [VAYIKRA 25:50-51] redemption and purchased ones for Hashem from every mishpochah (family) and lashon (tongue) and am (people) and goy (nation), [TEHILLIM 40:3; 98:1; YESHAYAH 42:10]
10 And made them for Eloheinu a Malchut and kohanim, and they will reign on ha’aretz (the earth).
11 And I saw and I heard the kol (voice) of many malachim (angels); they numbered myriads of myriads and v’alfei alafim (thousands of thousands), around the Kes (Throne) and the Chayyot (the living beings) and the Zekenim (Elders, SHEMOT 12:21) [DANIEL 7:10]
12 Saying with a kol gadol, Worthy is the SEH (Lamb, SHEMOT 12:3; YESHAYAH 53:7 Moshiach) having been slain, to receive the oz (power) and the osher (wealth) and the chochmah (wisdom) and the gevurah (strength) and hod (honor) and kavod (glory) and bracha (blessing).
13 And every beriyah (creature) which is in Shomayim and on ha’aretz (the earth) and under ha’aretz and on the yam (sea) and all things in them, I heard saying, To the One sitting on the Kes (Throne) and to the SEH (Lamb, SHEMOT 12:3; YESHAYAH 53:7 Moshiach) be the bracha (blessing) and the hod (honor) and the hadar (glory) and the memshalah (dominion) ad Olemei Olamim (forever and ever). [DIVREY HAYAMIM ALEF 29:11; MALACHI 1:6; 2:2]
14 And the Arbah Chayyot were saying, Omein. And the Zekenim (Elders, SHEMOT 12:21) fell down and worshiped.
Revelation 5
Common English Bible
The Lamb takes the scroll
5 Then I saw a scroll in the right hand of the one seated on the throne. It had writing on the front and the back, and it was sealed with seven seals. 2 I saw a powerful angel, who proclaimed in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?” 3 But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or look inside it. 4 So I began to weep and weep, because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look inside it. 5 Then one of the elders said to me, “Don’t weep. Look! The Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has emerged victorious so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.”
6 Then, in between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders, I saw a Lamb, standing as if it had been slain. It had seven horns and seven eyes, which are God’s seven spirits, sent out into the whole earth. 7 He came forward and took the scroll from the right hand of the one seated on the throne. 8 When he took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each held a harp and gold bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. 9 They took up a new song, saying,
“You are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals,
because you were slain,
and by your blood you purchased for God
persons from every tribe, language, people, and nation.
10 You made them a kingdom and priests to our God,
and they will rule on earth.”
11 Then I looked, and I heard the sound of many angels surrounding the throne, the living creatures, and the elders. They numbered in the millions—thousands upon thousands. 12 They said in a loud voice,
“Worthy is the slaughtered Lamb
to receive power, wealth, wisdom, and might,
and honor, glory, and blessing.”
13 And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea—I heard everything everywhere say,
“Blessing, honor, glory, and power
belong to the one seated on the throne
and to the Lamb
forever and always.”
14 Then the four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshipped.
