书卷和羔羊

1我看见坐宝座的右手中有书卷，里外都写着字，用七印封严了。

2我又看见一位大力的天使大声宣传说：「有谁配展开那书卷，揭开那七印呢？」

3在天上、地上、地底下，没有能展开、能观看那书卷的。

4因为没有配展开、配观看那书卷的，我就大哭。

5长老中有一位对我说：「不要哭！看哪，犹大支派中的狮子，大卫的根，他已得胜，能以展开那书卷，揭开那七印。」

6我又看见宝座与四活物，并长老之中有羔羊站立，像是被杀过的，有七角七眼，就是 神的七灵，奉差遣往普天下去的。

7这羔羊前来，从坐宝座的右手里拿了书卷。

8他既拿了书卷，四活物和二十四位长老就俯伏在羔羊面前，各拿着琴和盛满了香的金炉；这香就是众圣徒的祈祷。

9他们唱新歌，说：你配拿书卷， 配揭开七印； 因为你曾被杀， 用自己的血 从各族、各方、各民、各国中买了人来， 叫他们归于 神，

10又叫他们成为国民， 作祭司归于 神， 在地上执掌王权。

11我又看见且听见，宝座与活物并长老的周围有许多天使的声音；他们的数目有千千万万，

12大声说：曾被杀的羔羊是配得 权柄、丰富、智慧、能力、 尊贵、荣耀、颂赞的。

13我又听见在天上、地上、地底下、沧海里，和天地间一切所有被造之物，都说：但愿颂赞、尊贵、荣耀、权势 都归给坐宝座的和羔羊， 直到永永远远！

14四活物就说：「阿们！」众长老也俯伏敬拜。

1And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne, a book written within and without, sealed with seven seals.

2And I saw a strong angel, proclaiming with a loud voice: Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

3And no man was able, neither in heaven, nor on earth, nor under the earth, to open the book, nor to look on it.

4And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open the book, nor to see it.

5And one of the ancients said to me: Weep not; behold the lion of the tribe of Juda, the root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

6And I saw: and behold in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the ancients, a Lamb standing as it were slain, having seven horns and seven eyes: which are the seven Spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth.

7And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat on the throne.

8And when he had opened the book, the four living creatures, and the four and twenty ancients fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints:

9And they sung a new canticle, saying: Thou art worthy, O Lord, to take the book, and to open the seals thereof; because thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God, in thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation.

10And hast made us to our God a kingdom and priests, and we shall reign on the earth.

11And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne, and the living creatures, and the ancients; and the number of them was thousands of thousands,

12Saying with a loud voice: The Lamb that was slain is worthy to receive power, and divinity, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and benediction.

13And 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: I heard all saying: To him that sitteth on the throne, and to the Lamb, benediction, and honour, and glory, and power, for ever and ever.

14And the four living creatures said: Amen. And the four and twenty ancients fell down on their faces, and adored him that liveth for ever and ever.
