The Lamb Takes the Scroll
5 Then I saw in the right hand of the one seated on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides, sealed with seven seals.(A) 2 I also saw a mighty angel(B) proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?” 3 But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or even to look in it. 4 I wept and wept because no one was found worthy to open[a] the scroll or even to look in it. 5 Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Look, the Lion from the tribe of Judah,(C) the Root of David,(D) has conquered(E) so that he is able to open the scroll and[b] its seven seals.”
6 Then I saw one like a slaughtered lamb(F) standing in the midst of the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God(G) sent into all the earth. 7 He went and took the scroll out of the right hand of the one seated on the throne.
The Lamb Is Worthy
8 When he took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp(H) and golden bowls(I) filled with incense,(J) which are the prayers of the saints. 9 And they sang a new song:(K)
You are worthy to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
because you were slaughtered,
and you purchased[c] people[d]
for God by your blood
from every tribe and language
and people and nation.(L)
10 You made them a kingdom[e]
and priests to our God,(M)
and they will reign on the earth.
11 Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels around the throne, and also of the living creatures and of the elders. Their number was countless thousands, plus thousands of thousands.(N) 12 They said with a loud voice,
Worthy is the Lamb who was slaughtered
to receive power and riches
and wisdom and strength
and honor and glory and blessing!
13 I heard every creature in heaven, on earth, under the earth,(O) on the sea, and everything in them say,(P)
Blessing and honor and glory and power
be to the one seated on the throne,
and to the Lamb, forever and ever!
14 The four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped.

The Scroll and the Lamb
5 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. 2 And I saw a mighty angel(D) proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” 3 But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it. 4 I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside. 5 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.”
6 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. 7 He went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne.(M) 8 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. 9 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
5 Then I saw in the right hand of the One seated on the throne a scroll with writing on the inside and on the back,(A) sealed with seven seals. 2 I also saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?” 3 But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or even to look in it. 4 And I cried and cried because no one was found worthy to open[a] the scroll or even to look in it.
5 Then one of the elders said to me, “Stop crying. Look! The Lion from the tribe of Judah,(B) the Root of David,(C) has been victorious(D) so that He may open the scroll and[b] its seven seals.” 6 Then I saw One like a slaughtered lamb standing between[c] the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God(E) sent into all the earth. 7 He came and took the scroll[d] out of the right hand of the One seated on the throne.
The Lamb Is Worthy
8 When He took the scroll, the four living creatures and the 24 elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of the saints. 9 And they sang a new song:(F)
You are worthy to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
because You were slaughtered,
and You redeemed[e] people[f]
for God by Your blood
from every tribe and language
and people and nation.(G)
10 You made them a kingdom[g]
and priests to our God,(H)
and they will reign on the earth.
11 Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels around the throne, and also of the living creatures and of the elders. Their number was countless thousands, plus thousands of thousands. 12 They said with a loud voice:
The Lamb who was slaughtered is worthy
to receive power and riches
and wisdom and strength
and honor and glory and blessing!
13 I heard every creature in heaven, on earth, under the earth, on the sea, and everything in them say:
Blessing and honor and glory and dominion
to the One seated on the throne,
and to the Lamb, forever and ever!
14 The four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped.

Apocalipsis 5

Apocalipsis 5
Dios Habla Hoy
El rollo escrito y el Cordero
5 En la mano derecha del que estaba sentado en el trono vi un rollo escrito por dentro y por fuera, y sellado con siete sellos. 2 Y vi un ángel poderoso que preguntaba a gran voz: «¿Quién es digno de abrir el rollo y romper sus sellos?» 3 Pero ni en el cielo ni en la tierra ni debajo de la tierra había nadie que pudiera abrir el rollo, ni mirarlo. 4 Y yo lloraba mucho, porque no se había encontrado a nadie digno de abrir el rollo, ni de mirarlo. 5 Pero uno de los ancianos me dijo: «No llores más, pues el León de la tribu de Judá, el retoño de David, ha vencido y puede abrir el rollo y romper sus siete sellos.»
6 Entonces, en medio del trono y de los cuatro seres vivientes, y en medio de los ancianos, vi un Cordero. Estaba de pie, pero se veía que había sido sacrificado. Tenía siete cuernos y siete ojos, que son los siete espíritus de Dios enviados por toda la tierra. 7 Aquel Cordero fue y tomó el rollo de la mano derecha del que estaba sentado en el trono; 8 y en cuanto tomó el rollo, los cuatro seres vivientes y los veinticuatro ancianos se pusieron de rodillas delante del Cordero. Todos ellos tenían arpas, y llevaban copas de oro llenas de incienso, que son las oraciones del pueblo santo. 9 Y cantaban este canto nuevo:
«Tú eres digno de tomar el rollo y de romper sus sellos,
porque fuiste sacrificado;
y derramando tu sangre redimiste para Dios
gentes de toda raza, lengua, pueblo y nación.
10 De ellos hiciste un reino,
hiciste sacerdotes para nuestro Dios,
y reinarán sobre la tierra.»
11 Luego miré, y oí la voz de muchos ángeles que estaban alrededor del trono, de los seres vivientes y de los ancianos. Había millones y millones de ellos, 12 y decían con fuerte voz:
«¡El Cordero que fue sacrificado
es digno de recibir el poder y la riqueza,
la sabiduría y la fuerza,
el honor, la gloria y la alabanza!»
13 Y oí también que todas las cosas creadas por Dios en el cielo, en la tierra, debajo de la tierra y en el mar, decían:
«¡Al que está sentado en el trono y al Cordero,
sean dados la alabanza, el honor, la gloria y el poder
por todos los siglos!»
14 Los cuatro seres vivientes respondían: «¡Amén!» Y los veinticuatro ancianos se pusieron de rodillas y adoraron.
