启示录 5
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
羔羊与封印的书卷
5 接着，我看见坐在宝座上的那位右手拿着一卷内外写着字、用七个印封住的书。 2 有一位大力天使高声问道：“谁有资格揭开那七个封印，打开那卷书？” 3 可是，天上、地上、甚至地底下都没有人有资格揭开并阅读那卷书。 4 我见无人有资格揭开并阅读那卷书，便放声大哭。 5 有一位长老对我说：“不要哭。你看，犹大支派的狮子、大卫的根已经得胜了！祂能揭开那七个封印，打开那卷书。”
6 我又看到宝座、四个活物和众长老之间站着一只好像是被宰杀过的羔羊。祂身上的七只角和七只眼睛代表奉差遣到普天下去的上帝的七灵。 7 那羔羊走上前去，从坐在宝座上的那位右手中接过书卷。 8 祂拿过书卷后，四个活物和二十四位长老就俯伏在羔羊面前，各拿着竖琴和盛满了香的金香炉。那些香就是众圣徒的祈祷。 9 他们唱着一首新歌：
“你配拿书卷并揭开封印，
因你曾被杀，
用你的血从各部落、各语言族群、各民族、各国家，
将人买赎回来归给上帝。
10 你又使他们成为上帝的国度和祭司，
他们要在地上执掌王权。”
11 我看见宝座、四个活物和众长老的周围有千千万万的天使，又听见他们高声呼喊： 12 “那被杀的羔羊配得权柄、财富、智慧、能力、尊贵、荣耀和颂赞！”
13 我又听到天上、地上、地底下和海洋中一切被造之物同声说：“愿颂赞、尊贵、荣耀和权柄都归于坐在宝座上的那位和羔羊，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
New Matthew Bible
He sees the Lamb taking the scroll to open it, and for this the four living creatures, the 24 elders, and the angels, praise the Lamb and worship him.
5 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat in the throne a scroll written within and on the back side, sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a strong angel who cried with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose the seals thereof? 3 And no man in heaven or on earth, nor under the earth, was able to open the scroll, nor to look on it. 4 And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and to read the scroll, neither to look on it.
5 And one of the elders said to me, Weep not! Behold, a lion being of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose the seven seals thereof.
6 And I looked, and lo, in the midst of the seat and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though he had been killed, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the spirits of God sent into all the world. 7 And he came and took the scroll out of the right hand of him that sat upon the seat.
8 And when he had taken the scroll, the four creatures and 24 elders fell down before the Lamb, having harps and golden vials full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. 9 And they sang a new song, saying, You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals. For you were killed, and have redeemed us by your blood out of all kindreds and tongues and people and nations, 10 and have made us kings and priests unto our God, and we shall reign on the earth.
11 And I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, and around the living creatures and the elders. And I heard thousands of thousands 12 saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was killed to receive power and riches and wisdom, and strength and honour and glory and blessing! 13 And all the creatures that are in heaven and on the earth, and under the earth and in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying, Blessing, honour, glory, and power be to him who sits upon the seat, and to the Lamb forevermore! 14 And the four living creatures said, Amen! And the 24 elders fell upon their faces and worshipped him who lives forevermore.
