The Scroll with Seven Seals
5 I saw [a]in the right hand of Him who (A)sat on the throne a [b](B)scroll written inside and on the back, (C)sealed up with seven seals. 2 And I saw a (D)strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to break its seals?” 3 And no one (E)in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it. 4 Then I began to weep greatly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it. 5 And one of the elders *said to me, “Stop weeping; behold, the (F)Lion that is (G)from the tribe of Judah, the (H)Root of David, has overcome so as to be able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”
6 And I saw [c]between the throne (with the four living creatures) and (I)the elders a (J)Lamb standing, as if (K)slaughtered, having seven (L)horns and (M)seven eyes, which are [d](N)the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. 7 And He came and took (O)the scroll out of the right hand of Him who (P)sat on the throne. 8 When He had taken the scroll, the (Q)four living creatures and the (R)twenty-four elders (S)fell down before the (T)Lamb, each one holding a (U)harp and (V)golden bowls full of incense, which are the (W)prayers of the [e]saints. 9 And they *sang a (X)new song, saying,
“(Y)Worthy are You to take the scroll and to break its seals; for You were (Z)slaughtered, and You (AA)purchased people for God with Your blood from (AB)every tribe, language, people, and nation.
10 You have made them into a (AC)kingdom and (AD)priests to our God, and they will (AE)reign upon the earth.”
Angels Exalt the Lamb
11 Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels (AF)around the throne and the (AG)living creatures and the (AH)elders; and the number of them was [f](AI)myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice,
“(AJ)Worthy is the (AK)Lamb that was (AL)slaughtered to receive power, wealth, wisdom, might, honor, glory, and blessing.”
13 And I heard (AM)every created thing which is in heaven, or on the earth, or under the earth, or on the sea, and all the things in them, saying,
“To Him who (AN)sits on the throne and to the (AO)Lamb (AP)be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion forever and ever.”
14 And the (AQ)four living creatures were saying, “(AR)Amen.” And the (AS)elders (AT)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 Scroll with Seven Seals
5 I saw in the right hand of Him who was seated on the throne a scroll written on the inside and on the back, closed and sealed with seven seals.(A) 2 And I saw a strong angel announcing with a loud voice, “Who is worthy [having the authority and virtue] to open the scroll and to [a]break its seals?” 3 And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth [in Hades, the realm of the dead] was able to open the scroll or look into it. 4 And I began to weep greatly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or look into it. 5 Then one of the [twenty-four] elders said to me, “Stop weeping! Look closely, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome and conquered! He can open the scroll and [break] its seven seals.”(B)
6 And there [b]between the throne (with the four living creatures) and among the elders I saw a Lamb (Christ) standing, [bearing scars and wounds] as though it had been slain, with seven horns (complete power) and with seven eyes (complete knowledge), which are [c]the seven Spirits of God who have been sent [on duty] into all the earth.(C) 7 And He came and [d]took the scroll from the right hand of Him who sat on the throne. 8 And when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb (Christ), each one holding a harp and golden bowls full of fragrant incense, which are the prayers of the saints (God’s people). 9 And they sang a new song [of glorious redemption], saying,
“Worthy and deserving are You to take the scroll and to break its seals; for You were slain (sacrificed), and with Your blood You purchased people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation.(D)
10
“You have made them to be a kingdom [of royal subjects] and priests to our God; and they will reign on the earth.”(E)
Angels Exalt the Lamb
11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and [the voice] of the living creatures and the elders; and they numbered myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands (innumerable),(F) 12 saying in a loud voice,
“Worthy and deserving is the Lamb that was sacrificed to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.”
13 And I heard every created thing that is in heaven or on earth or under the earth [in Hades, the realm of the dead] or on the sea, and everything that is in them, saying [together],
“To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb (Christ), be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever.”(G)
14 And the four living creatures kept saying, “Amen.” And the elders fell down and worshiped [Him who lives forever and ever].

O livro selado com sete selos. Somente o Cordeiro é digno de abri-lo
5 E vi na destra do que estava assentado sobre o trono um livro escrito por dentro e por fora, selado com sete selos. 2 E vi um anjo forte, bradando com grande voz: Quem é digno de abrir o livro e de desatar os seus selos? 3 E ninguém no céu, nem na terra, nem debaixo da terra, podia abrir o livro, nem olhar para ele. 4 E eu chorava muito, porque ninguém fora achado digno de abrir o livro, nem de o ler, nem de olhar para ele. 5 E disse-me um dos anciãos: Não chores; eis aqui o Leão da tribo de Judá, a Raiz de Davi, que venceu para abrir o livro e desatar os seus sete selos.
6 E olhei, e eis que estava no meio do trono e dos quatro animais viventes e entre os anciãos um Cordeiro, como havendo sido morto, e tinha sete pontas e sete olhos, que são os sete Espíritos de Deus enviados a toda a terra. 7 E veio e tomou o livro da destra do que estava assentado no trono. 8 E, havendo tomado o livro, os quatro animais e os vinte e quatro anciãos prostraram-se diante do Cordeiro, tendo todos eles harpas e salvas de ouro cheias de incenso, que são as orações dos santos. 9 E cantavam um novo cântico, dizendo: Digno és de tomar o livro e de abrir os seus selos, porque foste morto e com o teu sangue compraste para Deus homens de toda tribo, e língua, e povo, e nação; 10 e para o nosso Deus os fizeste reis e sacerdotes; e eles reinarão sobre a terra. 11 E olhei e ouvi a voz de muitos anjos ao redor do trono, e dos animais, e dos anciãos; e era o número deles milhões de milhões e milhares de milhares, 12 que com grande voz diziam: Digno é o Cordeiro, que foi morto, de receber o poder, e riquezas, e sabedoria, e força, e honra, e glória, e ações de graças. 13 E ouvi a toda criatura que está no céu, e na terra, e debaixo da terra, e que está no mar, e a todas as coisas que neles há, dizer: Ao que está assentado sobre o trono e ao Cordeiro sejam dadas ações de graças, e honra, e glória, e poder para todo o sempre. 14 E os quatro animais diziam: Amém! E os vinte e quatro anciãos prostraram-se e adoraram ao que vive para todo o sempre.

O Livro e o Cordeiro
5 Então vi na mão direita daquele que está assentado no trono um livro em forma de rolo, escrito de ambos os lados e selado com sete selos. 2 Vi um anjo poderoso, proclamando em alta voz: “Quem é digno de romper os selos e de abrir o livro?” 3 Mas não havia ninguém, nem no céu nem na terra nem debaixo da terra, que pudesse abrir o livro, ou sequer olhar para ele. 4 Eu chorava muito, porque não se encontrou ninguém que fosse digno de abrir o livro e de olhar para ele. 5 Então um dos anciãos me disse: “Não chore! Eis que o Leão da tribo de Judá, a Raiz de Davi, venceu para abrir o livro e os seus sete selos”.
6 Depois vi um Cordeiro, que parecia ter estado morto, em pé, no centro do trono, cercado pelos quatro seres viventes e pelos anciãos. Ele tinha sete chifres e sete olhos, que são os sete espíritos de Deus enviados a toda a terra. 7 Ele se aproximou e recebeu o livro da mão direita daquele que estava assentado no trono. 8 Ao recebê-lo, os quatro seres viventes e os vinte e quatro anciãos prostraram-se diante do Cordeiro. Cada um deles tinha uma harpa e taças de ouro cheias de incenso, que são as orações dos santos; 9 e eles cantavam um cântico novo:
“Tu és digno de receber o livro
e de abrir os seus selos,
pois foste morto,
e com teu sangue compraste para Deus
gente de toda tribo, língua, povo e nação.
10 Tu os constituíste reino
e sacerdotes
para o nosso Deus,
e eles reinarão sobre a terra”.
11 Então olhei e ouvi a voz de muitos anjos, milhares de milhares e milhões de milhões. Eles rodeavam o trono, bem como os seres viventes e os anciãos, 12 e cantavam em alta voz:
“Digno é o Cordeiro
que foi morto
de receber poder, riqueza, sabedoria, força,
honra, glória e louvor!”
13 Depois ouvi todas as criaturas existentes no céu, na terra, debaixo da terra e no mar, e tudo o que neles há, que diziam:
“Àquele que está assentado
no trono
e ao Cordeiro
sejam o louvor, a honra,
a glória e o poder,
para todo o sempre!”
14 Os quatro seres viventes disseram: “Amém”, e os anciãos prostraram-se e o adoraram.
