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。
Revelation 5
English Standard Version
The Scroll and the Lamb
5 Then I saw in the right hand of him who was seated on the throne (A)a scroll written within and on the back, (B)sealed with seven seals. 2 And (C)I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?” 3 And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it, 4 and I began to weep loudly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it. 5 And one of the elders said to me, “Weep no more; behold, (D)the Lion (E)of the tribe of Judah, (F)the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.”
6 And between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders I saw (G)a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with (H)seven eyes, which are (I)the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. 7 And he went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who was seated on the throne. 8 And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders (J)fell down before the Lamb, (K)each holding a harp, and (L)golden bowls full of incense, (M)which are the prayers of the saints. 9 And they sang (N)a new song, saying,
“Worthy are you to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
for (O)you were slain, and by your blood (P)you ransomed people for God
from (Q)every tribe and language and people and nation,
10 and you have made them (R)a kingdom and priests to our God,
and they shall reign on the earth.”
11 Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering (S)myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice,
(T)“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might
and honor and glory and blessing!”
13 And I heard (U)every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying,
“To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!”
14 And the four living creatures (V)said, “Amen!” and the elders (W)fell down and worshiped.
Revelation 5
Wycliffe Bible
5 And I saw in the right hand of the sitter on the throne, a book written within and without, and sealed with seven seals.
2 And I saw a strong angel, preaching with a great voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to undo the seals of it?
3 And none [And no man] in heaven, neither in earth, neither under earth, might open the book, neither behold it.
4 And I wept much, for none [for no man] was found worthy to open the book, neither to see it.
5 And one of the elder men said to me [And one of the elders said to me], Weep thou not; lo! a lion of the lineage of Juda, the root of David, hath overcome to open the book, and to undo the seven seals of it.
6 And I saw, and lo! in the middle of the throne, and of the four beasts, and in the middle of the elder men, a lamb standing as slain, that had seven horns, and seven eyes [and in the middle of the elders, a lamb standing as slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes], which be [the] seven spirits of God, sent into all the earth.
7 And he came, and took of the right hand of the sitter in the throne the book.
8 And when he had opened the book, the four beasts and the four and twenty elder men fell down before the lamb; and had each of them harps [And when he had opened the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the lamb; having each of them harps], and golden vials full of odours, which be the prayers of saints.
9 And they sung a new song, and said [saying], Lord our God, thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals of it; for thou were slain, and again-boughtest us to God in thy blood, of each lineage [of all lineage], and tongue, and people, and nation;
10 and madest us a kingdom, and priests to our God; and we shall reign on earth.[a]
11 And I saw, and heard the voice of many angels all about the throne, and of the beasts, and of the elder men.[b] And the number of them was thousands of thousands,
12 saying with a great voice, The lamb that was slain, is worthy to take virtue, and Godhead [and divinity, or Godhead], and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
13 And each creature that is in heaven, and that is on [the] earth, and under earth, and the sea, and which things be in it, I heard all saying, To him that sat in the throne, and to the lamb, blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, into worlds of worlds.
14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elder men [And the four and twenty elders] fell down on their faces, and worshipped him that liveth into worlds of worlds.
