Apocalipsa 5
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
5 Apoi am văzut în mâna dreaptă a Celui ce şedea pe scaunul de domnie o(A) carte, scrisă pe dinăuntru şi pe dinafară, pecetluită(B) cu şapte peceţi. 2 Şi am văzut un înger puternic, care striga cu glas tare: „Cine este vrednic să deschidă cartea şi să-i rupă peceţile?” 3 Şi nu se găsea nimeni nici în cer(C), nici pe pământ, nici sub pământ, care să poată deschide cartea, nici să se uite în ea. 4 Şi am plâns mult, pentru că nimeni nu fusese găsit vrednic să deschidă cartea şi să se uite în ea. 5 Şi unul din bătrâni mi-a zis: „Nu plânge: Iată că Leul(D) din seminţia lui Iuda, Rădăcina(E) lui David, a biruit ca să deschidă cartea şi(F) cele şapte peceţi ale ei. 6 Şi la mijloc, între scaunul de domnie şi cele patru făpturi vii şi între bătrâni, am văzut stând în picioare un(G) Miel. Părea înjunghiat şi avea şapte coarne şi şapte(H) ochi, care sunt cele(I) şapte Duhuri ale lui Dumnezeu, trimise în tot pământul. 7 El a venit şi a luat cartea din mâna dreaptă a Celui ce(J) şedea pe scaunul de domnie. 8 Când a luat cartea, cele patru făpturi vii şi cei(K) douăzeci şi patru de bătrâni s-au aruncat la pământ înaintea Mielului, având fiecare câte o alăută(L) şi potire de aur, pline cu tămâie, care(M) sunt rugăciunile sfinţilor. 9 Şi cântau(N) o cântare nouă şi ziceau: Vrednic(O) eşti Tu să iei cartea şi să-i rupi peceţile, căci(P) ai fost înjunghiat şi ai(Q) răscumpărat pentru Dumnezeu, cu sângele Tău, oameni din(R) orice seminţie, de orice limbă, din orice norod şi de orice neam. 10 Ai(S) făcut din ei o împărăţie şi preoţi pentru Dumnezeul nostru şi ei vor împărăţi pe pământ!” 11 M-am uitat şi, împrejurul(T) scaunului de domnie, în jurul făpturilor vii şi în jurul bătrânilor, am auzit glasul multor îngeri. Numărul lor era de zece mii(U) de ori zece mii şi mii de mii. 12 Ei ziceau cu glas tare: „Vrednic(V) este Mielul, care a fost înjunghiat, să primească puterea, bogăţia, înţelepciunea, tăria, cinstea, slava şi lauda!” 13 Şi pe toate(W) făpturile, care sunt în cer, pe pământ, sub pământ, pe mare, şi tot ce se află în aceste locuri, le-am auzit zicând: „Ale Celui ce(X) şade pe scaunul de domnie şi ale Mielului să fie lauda(Y), cinstea, slava şi stăpânirea în vecii vecilor!” 14 Şi(Z) cele patru făpturi vii ziceau: „Amin!”
Şi cei douăzeci şi patru de bătrâni s-au aruncat la pământ şi s-au închinat Celui ce(AA) este viu în vecii vecilor!

New King James Version
The Lamb Takes the Scroll
5 And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne (A)a scroll written inside and on the back, (B)sealed with seven seals. 2 Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, (C)“Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?” 3 And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it.
4 So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open [a]and read the scroll, or to look at it. 5 But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, (D)the Lion of the tribe of (E)Judah, (F)the Root of David, has (G)prevailed to open the scroll (H)and [b]to loose its seven seals.”
6 And I looked, [c]and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood (I)a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and (J)seven eyes, which are (K)the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth. 7 Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand (L)of Him who sat on the throne.
Worthy Is the Lamb
8 Now when He had taken the scroll, (M)the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the (N)prayers of the saints. 9 And (O)they sang a new song, saying:
(P)“You are worthy to take the scroll,
And to open its seals;
For You were slain,
And (Q)have redeemed us to God (R)by Your blood
Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
10 And have made [d]us (S)kings[e] and (T)priests to our God;
And [f]we shall reign on the earth.”
11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice:
“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
To receive power and riches and wisdom,
And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”
13 And (U)every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying:
(V)“Blessing and honor and glory and power
Be to Him (W)who sits on the throne,
And to the Lamb, forever and [g]ever!”
14 Then the four living creatures said, “Amen!” And the [h]twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped [i]Him who lives forever and ever.

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.
