Revelation 5

(CLV) Revelation 5

1 And I perceived on the right hand of Him Who is sitting on the throne a scroll, written in front and on the back, and sealed up with seven seals. 2 And I perceived a strong messenger heralding with a loud voice: "Who is worthy to open the scroll, and to loose its seals?" 3 And no one in heaven, nor yet on earth, nor yet underneath the earth, was able to open the scroll, neither to look at it. 4 And I lamented much that no one was found worthy to open the scroll, neither to look at it. 5 And one of the elders is saying to me, "Do not lament! Lo! He conquers! The Lion out of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, is to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals!" 6 And I perceived, in the center of the throne and of the four animals, and in the center of the elders, a Lambkin standing, as though slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes which are the seven spirits of God, commissioned for the entire earth. 7 And It came and has taken the scroll out of the right hand of Him Who is sitting on the throne. 8 And when It took the scroll, the four animals and the twenty-four elders fall before the Lambkin, each having a lyre, and golden bowls brimming with incenses, which are the prayers of the saints. 9 And they are singing a new song, saying, "Worthy art Thou to be taking the scroll and to open its seals, For Thou wast slain and dost buy us for God by Thy blood. Out of every tribe and language and people and nation. 10 Thou dost also make them a kingdom and a priesthood for our God, And they shall be reigning on the earth. 11 And I perceived, and I hear a sound as of many messengers around the throne and the animals and the elders, and their number was ten thousand ten thousand and a thousand thousand, 12 saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lambkin slain To get power and riches and wisdom and strength And honor and glory and blessing!" 13 And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and underneath the earth and on the sea, and all in them, I hear also saying, "To Him Who is sitting on the throne - To the Lambkin - Be blessing and honor and glory and might For the eons of the eons!" 14 And the four animals said, "Amen!" And the elders fall and worship.
