Uppenbarelseboken 5
Swedish New Living Bible (Nya Levande Bibeln)
Lammet och bokrullen med sju sigill
5 Och jag såg att han som satt på tronen hade en bokrulle i högra handen. Den hade text på båda sidor och var förseglad med sju sigill.
2 En väldig ängel ropade med hög röst ut denna fråga: Vem är värdig att bryta sigillen på denna bok och öppna den?
3 Men ingen i hela himlen eller på jorden eller bland de döda fick tillåtelse att öppna och läsa den.
4 Då grät jag av besvikelse, eftersom ingen var värdig. Ingen kunde berätta för oss vad som stod i den.
5 Då sa en av de tjugofyra äldste till mig: Gråt inte längre, för Jesus, lejonet av Juda stam, Davids rotskott, har segrat och visat sig värdig att öppna boken och bryta dess sju sigill.
6 Jag tittade upp och fick se ett lamm, som stod framför de tjugofyra äldste vid tronen och de fyra väsendena, och lammet var märkt av sår som en gång hade vållat dess död. Det hade sju horn och sju ögon, som representerar Guds sju andar, som är utsända till varje del av världen.
7 Det steg fram och tog boken ur högra handen på honom som satt på tronen.
8 Och när det tog boken, föll de tjugofyra äldste ner framför Lammet. Var och en hade en harpa och en guldskål fylld med rökelse. Det är Guds folks böner.
9 De sjöng en ny sång med denna text: Du är värdig att ta boken och bryta dess sigill och öppna den, för du har blivit slaktad, och ditt blod har friköpt människor från alla folk.
10 Och du har samlat dem till ett rike och gjort dem till präster åt vår Gud, och de ska regera på jorden.
11 Sedan såg jag tusentals änglar och jag hörde dem sjunga. De stod runt tronen och de fyra levande väsendena och de äldste.
12 Och de sjöng med väldig kraft: Lammet som blev slaktat. Det är värdigt att ta emot makten och rikedomen och visheten och styrkan och äran och härligheten och välsignelsen.
13 Sedan hörde jag alla i himlen och på jorden och de döda under jorden och i havet ropa: Välsignelsen och äran och härligheten och kraften tillhör honom, som sitter på tronen, och Lammet i evigheternas evigheter.
14 Och de fyra levande väsendena fortsatte att säga: Amen! Och de tjugofyra äldste föll ner och tillbad honom.
Revelation 5
King James Version
5 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
8 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.
9 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.
11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts 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 that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
13 And 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, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
Revelation 5
English Standard Version
The Scroll and the Lamb
5 Then I saw in the right hand of him who was seated on the throne (A)a scroll written within and on the back, (B)sealed with seven seals. 2 And (C)I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?” 3 And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it, 4 and I began to weep loudly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it. 5 And one of the elders said to me, “Weep no more; behold, (D)the Lion (E)of the tribe of Judah, (F)the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.”
6 And between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders I saw (G)a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with (H)seven eyes, which are (I)the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. 7 And he went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who was seated on the throne. 8 And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders (J)fell down before the Lamb, (K)each holding a harp, and (L)golden bowls full of incense, (M)which are the prayers of the saints. 9 And they sang (N)a new song, saying,
“Worthy are you to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
for (O)you were slain, and by your blood (P)you ransomed people for God
from (Q)every tribe and language and people and nation,
10 and you have made them (R)a kingdom and priests to our God,
and they shall reign on the earth.”
11 Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering (S)myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice,
(T)“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might
and honor and glory and blessing!”
13 And I heard (U)every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying,
“To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!”
14 And the four living creatures (V)said, “Amen!” and the elders (W)fell down and worshiped.
