Revelation 5
Names of God Bible
The Lamb Takes the Scroll That Has Seven Seals
5 I saw a scroll in the right hand of the one who sits on the throne. It had writing both on the inside and on the outside. It was sealed with seven seals. 2 I saw a powerful angel calling out in a loud voice, “Who deserves to open the scroll and break the seals on it?” 3 No one in heaven, on earth, or under the earth could open the scroll or look inside it. 4 I cried bitterly because no one was found who deserved to open the scroll or look inside it.
5 Then one of the leaders said to me, “Stop crying! The Lion from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has won the victory. He can open the scroll and the seven seals on it.”
6 I saw a lamb standing in the center near the throne with the four living creatures and the leaders. The lamb looked like he had been slaughtered. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent all over the world. 7 He took the scroll from the right hand of the one who sits on the throne.
8 When the lamb had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the 24 leaders bowed in front of him. Each held a harp and a gold bowl full of incense, the prayers of God’s holy people. 9 Then they sang a new song,
“You deserve to take the scroll and open the seals on it,
because you were slaughtered.
You bought people with your blood to be God’s own.
They are from every tribe, language, people, and nation.
10 You made them a kingdom and priests for our God.
They will rule as kings on the earth.”
11 Then I heard the voices of many angels, the four living creatures, and the leaders surrounding the throne. They numbered ten thousand times ten thousand and thousands times thousands. 12 In a loud voice they were singing,
“The lamb who was slain deserves to receive
power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and praise.”
13 I heard every creature in heaven, on earth, under the earth, and on the sea. Every creature in those places was singing,
“To the one who sits on the throne and to the lamb
be praise, honor, glory, and power forever and ever.”
14 The four living creatures said, “Amen!” Then the leaders bowed and worshiped.

Ang Kasulatan at ang Kordero
5 Nakita(A) ko sa kanang kamay ng nakaupo sa trono ang isang kasulatang nakabalumbon, na may sulat sa loob at labas at sinarhan ng pitong selyo. 2 At nakita ko rin ang isang makapangyarihang anghel na nagtanong nang malakas, “Sino ang karapat-dapat na mag-alis sa mga selyo at magbukas sa balumbon?” 3 Ngunit wala ni isa man, maging sa langit, maging sa lupa o sa ilalim ng lupa,[a] na makapagbukas o makatingin sa nilalaman niyon. 4 Buong kapaitan akong umiyak dahil walang natagpuang karapat-dapat na magbukas at tumingin sa nilalaman niyon. 5 Ngunit(B) sinabi sa akin ng isa sa matatandang pinuno, “Huwag kang umiyak. Tingnan mo! Ang Leon mula sa lipi ni Juda, ang anak ni David ay nagtagumpay at may karapatang mag-alis sa pitong selyo at magbukas sa kasulatang nakabalumbon.”
6 Pagkatapos,(C) nakita ko sa pagitan ng matatandang pinuno at ng tronong napapaligiran ng apat na buháy na nilalang ang isang Korderong nakatayo na ang anyo ay tulad sa pinatay na. Ito'y may pitong sungay at pitong mata na siyang pitong espiritu ng Diyos na ipinadala sa buong daigdig. 7 Lumapit ang Kordero at kinuha ang kasulatang nakabalumbon sa kanang kamay ng nakaupo sa trono. 8 Nang(D) ito'y kunin niya, nagpatirapa sa harapan ng Kordero ang apat na buháy na nilalang at ang dalawampu't apat (24) na matatandang pinuno. Bawat isa'y may hawak na alpa at may gintong mangkok na punô ng insenso na siyang mga panalangin ng mga hinirang ng Diyos. 9 Inaawit(E) nila ang isang bagong awit:
“Ikaw ang karapat-dapat na kumuha sa kasulatang nakabalumbon
at magtanggal sa mga selyo niyon.
Sapagkat pinatay ka, at sa pamamagitan ng iyong dugo ay tinubos mo ang mga tao para sa Diyos,
mula sa bawat lahi, wika, bayan at bansa.
10 Ginawa(F) mo silang isang lahing maharlika at mga pari na itinalaga upang maglingkod sa ating Diyos;
at sila'y maghahari sa lupa.”
11 Tumingin(G) akong muli at narinig ko ang tinig ng milyun-milyon at libu-libong anghel. Sila'y nakapaligid sa trono, sa apat na buháy na nilalang at sa matatandang pinuno. 12 Umaawit sila nang malakas,
“Ang Korderong pinatay ay karapat-dapat
tumanggap ng kapangyarihan, kayamanan, karunungan, kalakasan,
kaluwalhatian, papuri at paggalang!”
13 At narinig kong umaawit ang bawat nilikhang nasa langit, nasa lupa, nasa ilalim ng lupa at nasa dagat, lahat ng mga naroroon,
“Sa nakaupo sa trono, at sa Kordero,
ang papuri at karangalan, kaluwalhatian at kapangyarihan,
magpakailanman!”
14 At sumagot ang apat na nilalang na buháy, “Amen!” At nagpatirapa ang matatandang pinuno at nagsisamba.
