启示录 5
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
得勝的羊羔配展開書卷
5 我看見那位坐在寶座上的，右手拿著書卷，這書卷的兩面都寫滿了字，用七個印封著。 2 我又看見一位大力的天使，大聲宣告說：“誰配展開那書卷，拆開它的封印呢？” 3 在天上、地上、地底下，沒有一個能夠展開書卷觀看的。 4 因為沒有人配展開觀看書卷，我就大哭。 5 長老中有一位對我說：“不要哭！看哪，那從猶大支派出來的獅子，大衛的根，他已經得勝了，他能夠展開那書卷，拆開它的七印。”
6 我又看見在寶座和四個活物中間，並且在眾長老中間，有羊羔站著，像是被殺過的。他有七角七眼，就是 神的七靈，奉差遣到全地去的。 7 羊羔走過去，從坐在寶座上那位的右手中取了書卷。 8 他拿了書卷之後，四個活物和二十四位長老就俯伏在羊羔面前，各拿著琴和盛滿了香的金爐，這香就是眾聖徒的祈禱。 9 他們唱著新歌，說：
“你配取書卷，配拆開封印，
因為你曾被殺，曾用你的血，
從各支派、各方言、各民族、各邦國，
把人買了來歸給 神，
10 使他們成為我們 神的國度和祭司，
他們要在地上執掌王權。”
11 我又觀看，聽見了千千萬萬天使的聲音，他們都在寶座、活物和長老的四周， 12 大聲說：
“被殺的羊羔是配得
權能、豐富、智慧、力量、
尊貴、榮耀、頌讚的！”
13 我又聽見在天上、地上、地底下和海裡的一切被造之物，以及天地間的萬有，都說：
“願頌讚、尊貴、榮耀、能力，
都歸給坐在寶座上的那一位和羊羔，
直到永永遠遠！”
14 四個活物就說：“阿們！”眾長老也俯伏敬拜。
Revelation 5
Living Bible
5 And I saw a scroll in the right hand of the one who was sitting on the throne, a scroll with writing on the inside and on the back, and sealed with seven seals. 2 A mighty angel with a loud voice was shouting out this question: “Who is worthy to break the seals on this scroll and to unroll it?” 3 But no one in all heaven or earth or from among the dead was permitted to open and read it.
4 Then I wept with disappointment[a] because no one anywhere was worthy; no one could tell us what it said.
5 But one of the twenty-four Elders said to me, “Stop crying, for look! The Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, and proved himself worthy to open the scroll and to break its seven seals.”
6 I looked and saw a Lamb standing there before the twenty-four Elders, in front of the throne and the Living Beings, and on the Lamb were wounds that once had caused his death. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which represent the sevenfold Spirit of God, sent out into every part of the world. 7 He stepped forward and took the scroll from the right hand of the one sitting upon the throne. 8 And as he took the scroll, the twenty-four Elders fell down before the Lamb, each with a harp and golden vials filled with incense—the prayers of God’s people!
9 They were singing[b] him a new song with these words: “You are worthy to take the scroll and break its seals and open it; for you were slain, and your blood has bought people from every nation as gifts for God. 10 And you have gathered them into a kingdom and made them priests of our God; they shall reign upon the earth.”
11 Then in my vision I heard the singing of millions of angels surrounding the throne and the Living Beings and the Elders: 12 “The Lamb is worthy (loudly they sang it!), the Lamb who was slain. He is worthy to receive the power, and the riches, and the wisdom, and the strength, and the honor, and the glory, and the blessing.”
13 And then I heard everyone in heaven and earth, and from the dead beneath the earth and in the sea, exclaiming, “The blessing and the honor and the glory and the power belong to the one sitting on the throne, and to the Lamb forever and ever.” 14 And the four Living Beings kept saying, “Amen!” And the twenty-four Elders fell down and worshiped him.
