Revelation 5 ~ Revelation 5

picture

1 A nd I saw upon the right hand of Him who is sitting upon the throne a scroll, written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals;

I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a book written inside and on the back, sealed up with seven seals.

2 a nd I saw a strong messenger crying with a great voice, `Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose the seals of it?'

And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the book and to break its seals?”

3 a nd no one was able in the heaven, nor upon the earth, nor under the earth, to open the scroll, nor to behold it.

And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the book or to look into it.

4 A nd I was weeping much, because no one was found worthy to open and to read the scroll, nor to behold it,

Then I began to weep greatly because no one was found worthy to open the book or to look into it;

5 a nd one of the elders saith to me, `Weep not; lo, overcome did the Lion, who is of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, to open the scroll, and to loose the seven seals of it;

and one of the elders said to me, “Stop weeping; behold, the Lion that is from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome so as to open the book and its seven seals.”

6 a nd I saw, and lo, in the midst of the throne, and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb hath stood as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the Seven Spirits of God, which are sent to all the earth,

And I saw between the throne (with the four living creatures) and the elders a Lamb standing, as if slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth.

7 a nd he came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who is sitting upon the throne.

And He came and took the book out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne.

8 A nd when he took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell before the Lamb, having each one harps and golden vials full of perfumes, which are the prayers of the saints,

When He had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

9 a nd they sing a new song, saying, `Worthy art thou to take the scroll, and to open the seals of it, because thou wast slain, and didst redeem us to God in thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation,

And they sang a new song, saying, “ Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.

10 a nd didst make us to our God kings and priests, and we shall reign upon the earth.'

“You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God; and they will reign upon the earth.” Angels Exalt the Lamb

11 A nd I saw, and I heard the voice of many messengers round the throne, and the living creatures, and the elders -- and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands --

Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands,

12 s aying with a great voice, `Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing!'

saying with a loud voice, “ Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.”

13 a nd every creature that is in the heaven, and in the earth, and under the earth, and the things that are upon the sea, and the all things in them, heard I saying, `To Him who is sitting upon the throne, and to the Lamb, the blessing, and the honour, and the glory, and the might -- to the ages of the ages!'

And every created thing which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all things in them, I heard saying, “To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever.”

14 a nd the four living creatures said, `Amen!' and the twenty-four elders fell down and they bow before Him who is living to the ages of the ages.

And the four living creatures kept saying, “ Amen.” And the elders fell down and worshiped.
