\subsection{Revelation 5}
|
|
\VS{1} And I saw in the right hand of the [one] having sat upon the throne [a] scroll
|
|
written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals,
|
|
\VS{2} and I saw
|
|
[a] strong angel proclaiming with [a] great voice: Who [is] worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?
|
|
\VS{3} And no one in heaven nor on the earth nor under
|
|
the earth was able to open the scroll nor to be looking [at] it.
|
|
\VS{4} And I
|
|
was weeping much, because no one worthy was found to open the scroll nor to
|
|
be looking [at] it.
|
|
\VS{5} And one of the elders says to me: Be not weeping.
|
|
Behold the lion from the tribe of Judah, the root [of] \David, has gained victory
|
|
to open the scroll and its seven seals.
|
|
\VS{6} And I saw in the midst of the
|
|
throne and of the four living [creatures] and in the midst of the elders [a] lamb standing
|
|
as [though] slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of
|
|
God sent into all the earth.
|
|
\VS{7} And he came and took [the scroll] from the right
|
|
[hand] of the [one] having sat upon the throne.
|
|
\VS{8} And when he took the scroll, the
|
|
four living [creatures] and the twenty-four elders fell before the lamb, each having
|
|
[a] lamp and golden bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of the
|
|
holy [ones],
|
|
\VS{9} and they sang [a] new song saying:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
You are worthy to receive the scroll and to open its seals, \\
|
|
For you were slain and have bought us for God with your blood \\
|
|
From every tribe and tongue and people and nation, \\
|
|
\VS{10} And you made them [a] kingdom and priesthood to our God, \\
|
|
And they will be king upon the land.
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{11} And I looked, and I heard [the] voice of many angels around the throne
|
|
and the living [creatures] and the elders, and their number was ten-thousand
|
|
ten-thousands and [a] thousand thousands,
|
|
\VS{12} saying with [a] great voice:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
Worthy is the lamb [which was] slain to receive \\
|
|
Power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor \\
|
|
And glory and blessing.
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{13} And I heard every creation which [is] in heaven and upon the land and
|
|
under the land and upon the sea, and everything in them saying:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
To the [one] having sat upon the throne \\
|
|
And to the lamb [be] blessing and honor and glory \\
|
|
And strength to the eternity of eternities.
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{14} And the four living [creatures] were saying: Amen, and the elders fell and
|
|
worshipped.
