启示录 5
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
羔羊与书卷
5 接着，我看见坐在宝座上的那一位右手中拿着一个书卷，内外都写着字，用七个封印封住。 2 我又看见一位强有力的天使，大声地宣告：“谁配打开这书卷，解开它的封印呢？” 3 可是在天上、在地上、在地底下，都没有一个能打开或阅读那书卷的。 4 于是我就大哭，因为找不到配打开[a]或阅读那书卷的。
5 可是长老中有一位对我说：“不要哭了！看哪，那出于犹大支派的狮子、大卫的根已经得胜，可以打开那书卷和[b]它的七个封印。” 6 随后，我看见[c]在宝座和四个活物当中，在长老们当中，站着一只羔羊，好像是被杀过的。羔羊有七只角和七只眼，那七只眼就是神的七个灵，是奉差派往全地去的。 7 羔羊上前去，从坐在宝座上那一位的右手中拿了书卷[d]。
羔羊配得颂赞
8 他一接到书卷，四个活物和二十四位长老就俯伏在羔羊面前，他们各拿着一把竖琴和盛满香的金碗；这些香就是圣徒们的祷告。 9 他们唱着一首新歌，说：
“你配接受那书卷，
配打开它的封印，
因为你曾被杀，
用自己的血，
从各支派、各语言群体、
各民族、各国家，
为神赎回了人[e]，
10 使他们[f]成为我们神的国度[g]和祭司；
他们[h]将要在地上做王[i]。”
11 我又观看，就听见在宝座、活物和长老们的周围，有许多天使的声音；他们的数目有千千万万。 12 他们大声说：
“那被杀的羔羊配接受
权能、财富、智慧、力量、
尊贵、荣耀和颂赞！”
13 我又听见天上、地上、地底下和海中的一切被造之物，以及天地间[j]的万有，都在说：
“愿颂赞、尊贵、荣耀和权能，
都归于坐在宝座上的那一位，
都归于羔羊，直到永永远远！”
Revelation 5
New Century Version
5 Then I saw a scroll in the right hand of the One sitting on the throne. The scroll had writing on both sides and was kept closed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a powerful angel calling in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” 3 But there was no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth who could open the scroll or look inside it. 4 I cried bitterly because there was no one who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside. 5 But one of the elders said to me, “Do not cry! The Lion[a] from the tribe of Judah, David’s descendant, has won the victory so that he is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”
6 Then I saw a Lamb standing in the center of the throne and in the middle of the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb looked as if he had been killed. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God that were sent into all the world. 7 The Lamb came and took the scroll from the right hand of the One sitting on the throne. 8 When he took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders bowed down before the Lamb. Each one of them had a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of God’s holy people. 9 And they all sang a new song to the Lamb:
“You are worthy to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
because you were killed,
and with the blood of your death you bought people for God
from every tribe, language, people, and nation.
10 You made them to be a kingdom of priests for our God,
and they will rule on the earth.”
11 Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels around the throne, and the four living creatures, and the elders. There were thousands and thousands of angels, 12 saying in a loud voice:
“The Lamb who was killed is worthy
to receive power, wealth, wisdom, and strength,
honor, glory, and praise!”
13 Then I heard all creatures in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea saying:
“To the One who sits on the throne
and to the Lamb
be praise and honor and glory and power
forever and ever.”
14 The four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders bowed down and worshiped.
