És láték annak jobbkezében, a ki a királyiszékben üle, egy könyvet , a mely be volt írva belõl és hátul, és le volt pecsételve hét pecséttel.

És láték egy erõs angyalt, a ki nagy szóval kiálta: Ki volna méltó arra, hogy felnyissa a könyvet, és felbontsa annak pecséteit?

És senki, sem mennyen, sem földön, sem föld alatt, nem tudta a könyvet felnyitni, sem ránézni.

Én azért igen sírok vala, hogy senki nem találtaték méltónak a könyv felnyitására és elolvasására, a ránézésre sem:

És egy a Vének közül monda nékem: Ne sírj: ímé gyõzött a Júda nemzetségébõl való oroszlán, Dávid gyökere, hogy felnyissa a könyvet és felbontsa annak hét pecsétét.

És láték a királyiszék és a négy lelkes állat között és a Vének között egy Bárányt állani, mint egy megölöttet, hét szarva és hét szeme vala, a mi az Istennek hét Lelke, a mely elküldetett az egész földre.

És eljöve és elvevé a könyvet a királyiszékben ülõnek jobbkezébõl.

És mikor elvevé a könyvet, a négy lelkes állat és a huszonnégy Vén leborula a Bárány elõtt, mindeniknél hárfák és aranypoharak lévén, jóillatokkal tele, a mik a szentek imádságai.

És éneklének új éneket, mondván: Méltó vagy, hogy elvedd a könyvet és megnyisd annak pecséteit: mert megölettél, és megváltottál minket Istennek a te véred által, minden ágazatból és nyelvbõl és népbõl és nemzetbõl,

10 És tettél minket a mi Istenünknek királyokká és papokká; és uralkodunk a földön.

11 És látám, és hallám a királyiszék, a lelkes állatok, és a Vének körül sok angyalnak szavát; és az õ számuk tízezerszer tízezer és ezerszer ezer vala;

12 Nagy szóval ezt mondván: Méltó a megöletett Bárány, hogy vegyen erõt és gazdagságot és bölcseséget és hatalmasságot és tisztességet és dicsõséget és áldást.

13 Sõt hallám, hogy minden teremtett állat, a mely van a mennyben és a földön, és a föld alatt és a tengerben, és minden, a mi ezekben van, ezt mondja vala: A királyiszékben ülõnek és a Báránynak áldás és tisztesség és dicsõség és hatalom örökkön örökké.

14 És a négy lelkes állat monda: Ámen. És a huszonnégy Vén leborult és imádá az örökkön örökké élõt.

The Scroll and the Lamb

Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne(A) a scroll with writing on both sides(B) and sealed(C) with seven seals. And I saw a mighty angel(D) proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it. I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside. Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion(E) of the tribe of Judah,(F) the Root of David,(G) has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

Then I saw a Lamb,(H) looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures(I) and the elders.(J) The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes,(K) which are the seven spirits[a](L) of God sent out into all the earth. He went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne.(M) And when he had taken it, the four living creatures(N) and the twenty-four elders(O) fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp(P) and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers(Q) of God’s people. And they sang a new song, saying:(R)

“You are worthy(S) to take the scroll
    and to open its seals,
because you were slain,
    and with your blood(T) you purchased(U) for God
    persons from every tribe and language and people and nation.(V)
10 You have made them to be a kingdom and priests(W) to serve our God,
    and they will reign[b] on the earth.”(X)

11 Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand.(Y) They encircled the throne and the living creatures(Z) and the elders.(AA) 12 In a loud voice they were saying:

“Worthy is the Lamb,(AB) who was slain,(AC)
    to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength
    and honor and glory and praise!”(AD)

13 Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth(AE) and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying:

“To him who sits on the throne(AF) and to the Lamb(AG)
    be praise and honor and glory and power,
for ever and ever!”(AH)

14 The four living creatures(AI) said, “Amen,”(AJ) and the elders(AK) fell down and worshiped.(AL)

The Lamb Takes the Scroll

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. Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, (C)“Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?” And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it.

So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open [a]and read the scroll, or to look at it. 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.”

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. Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand (L)of Him who sat on the throne.

Worthy Is the Lamb

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. 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.
