Worthy Is the Lamb

Now when He had taken the scroll, (A)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 (B)prayers of the saints. And (C)they sang a new song, saying:

(D)“You are worthy to take the scroll,
And to open its seals;
For You were slain,
And (E)have redeemed us to God (F)by Your blood
Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
10 And have made [a]us (G)kings[b] and (H)priests to our God;
And [c]we shall reign on the earth.”

羔羊配得颂赞

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。 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[a]
10 使他们[b]成为我们神的国度[c]和祭司;
他们[d]将要在地上做王[e]。”

And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.

And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
