1. Then I saw a scroll in the right hand of the One sitting on the throne. The scroll had writing on both sides and was kept closed with seven seals.
|
1. And G2532 I saw G1492 in G1909 the G3588 right hand G1188 of him that sat G2521 on G1909 the G3588 throne G2362 a book G975 written G1125 within G2081 and G2532 on the backside G3693 , sealed G2696 with seven G2033 seals G4973 .
|
|
2. And I saw a powerful angel calling in a loud voice, "Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?"
|
2. And G2532 I saw G1492 a strong G2478 angel G32 proclaiming G2784 with a loud G3173 voice G5456 , Who G5101 is G2076 worthy G514 to open G455 the G3588 book G975 , and G2532 to loose G3089 the G3588 seals G4973 thereof G848 ?
|
|
3. But there was no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth who could open the scroll or look inside it.
|
3. And G2532 no man G3762 in G1722 heaven G3772 , nor G3761 in G1909 earth G1093 , neither G3761 under G5270 the G3588 earth G1093 , was able G1410 to open G455 the G3588 book G975 , neither G3761 to look G991 thereon G846 .
|
|
4. I cried hard because there was no one who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside.
|
4. And G2532 I G1473 wept G2799 much G4183 , because G3754 no man G3762 was found G2147 worthy G514 to open G455 and G2532 to read G314 the G3588 book G975 , neither G3777 to look G991 thereon G846 .
|
|
5. But one of the elders said to me, "Do not cry! The Lionn from the tribe of Judah, David's descendant, has won the victory so that he is able to open the scroll and its seven seals."
|
5. And G2532 one G1520 of G1537 the G3588 elders G4245 saith G3004 unto me G3427 , Weep G2799 not G3361 : behold G2400 , the G3588 Lion G3023 G5607 of G1537 the G3588 tribe G5443 of Judah G2455 , the G3588 Root G4491 of David G1138 , hath prevailed G3528 to open G455 the G3588 book G975 , and G2532 to loose G3089 the G3588 seven G2033 seals G4973 thereof G848 .
|
|
6. Then I saw a Lamb standing in the center of the throne and in the middle of the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb looked as if he had been killed. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God that were sent into all the world.
|
6. And G2532 I beheld G1492 , and G2532 , lo G2400 , in G1722 the midst G3319 of the G3588 throne G2362 and G2532 of the G3588 four G5064 beasts G2226 , and G2532 in G1722 the midst G3319 of the G3588 elders G4245 , stood G2476 a Lamb G721 as G5613 it had been slain G4969 , having G2192 seven G2033 horns G2768 and G2532 seven G2033 eyes G3788 , which G3739 are G1526 the G3588 seven G2033 Spirits G4151 of God G2316 sent forth G649 into G1519 all G3956 the G3588 earth G1093 .
|
|
7. The Lamb came and took the scroll from the right hand of the One sitting on the throne.
|
7. And G2532 he came G2064 and G2532 took G2983 the G3588 book G975 out of G1537 the G3588 right hand G1188 of him that sat G2521 upon G1909 the G3588 throne G2362 .
|
|
8. When he took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders bowed down before the Lamb. Each one of them had a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of God's holy people.
|
8. And G2532 when G3753 he had taken G2983 the G3588 book G975 , the G3588 four G5064 beasts G2226 and G2532 four and twenty G1501 G5064 elders G4245 fell down G4098 before G1799 the G3588 Lamb G721 , having G2192 every one of them G1538 harps G2788 , and G2532 golden G5552 vials G5357 full G1073 of odors G2368 , which G3739 are G1526 the G3588 prayers G4335 of saints G40 .
|
|
9. And they all sang a new song to the Lamb: "You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were killed, and with the blood of your death you bought people for God from every tribe, language, people, and nation.
|
9. And G2532 they sung G103 a new G2537 song G5603 , saying G3004 , Thou art G1488 worthy G514 to take G2983 the G3588 book G975 , and G2532 to open G455 the G3588 seals G4973 thereof G848 : for G3754 thou wast slain G4969 , and G2532 hast redeemed G59 us G2248 to God G2316 by G1722 thy G4675 blood G129 out of G1537 every G3956 kindred G5443 , and G2532 tongue G1100 , and G2532 people G2992 , and G2532 nation G1484 ;
|
|
10. You made them to be a kingdom of priests for our God, and they will rule on the earth."
|
10. And G2532 hast made G4160 us G2248 unto our G2257 God G2316 kings G935 and G2532 priests G2409 : and G2532 we shall reign G936 on G1909 the G3588 earth G1093 .
|
|
11. Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels around the throne, and the four living creatures, and the elders. There were thousands and thousands of angels,
|
11. And G2532 I beheld G1492 , and G2532 I heard G191 the voice G5456 of many G4183 angels G32 round about G2943 the G3588 throne G2362 and G2532 the G3588 beasts G2226 and G2532 the G3588 elders G4245 : and G2532 the G3588 number G706 of them G846 was G2258 ten thousand times ten thousand G3461 G3461 , and G2532 thousands of thousands G5505 G5505 ;
|
|
12. saying in a loud voice: "The Lamb who was killed is worthy to receive power, wealth, wisdom, and strength, honor, glory, and praise!"
|
12. Saying G3004 with a loud G3173 voice G5456 , Worthy G514 is G2076 the G3588 Lamb G721 that was slain G4969 to receive G2983 power G1411 , and G2532 riches G4149 , and G2532 wisdom G4678 , and G2532 strength G2479 , and G2532 honor G5092 , and G2532 glory G1391 , and G2532 blessing G2129 .
|
|
13. Then I heard all creatures in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea saying: "To the One who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power forever and ever."
|
13. And G2532 every G3956 creature G2938 which G3739 is G2076 in G1722 heaven G3772 , and G2532 on G1722 the G3588 earth G1093 , and G2532 under G5270 the G3588 earth G1093 , and G2532 such as G3739 are G2076 in G1909 the G3588 sea G2281 , and G2532 all G3956 that G3588 are in G1722 them G846 , heard G191 I saying G3004 , Blessing G2129 , and G2532 honor G5092 , and G2532 glory G1391 , and G2532 power G2904 , be unto him that sitteth G2521 upon G1909 the G3588 throne G2362 , and G2532 unto the G3588 Lamb G721 forever and ever G1519 G165 G165 .
|
|
14. The four living creatures said, "Amen," and the elders bowed down and worshiped.
|
14. And G2532 the G3588 four G5064 beasts G2226 said G3004 , Amen G281 . And G2532 the G3588 four and twenty G1501 G5064 elders G4245 fell down G4098 and G2532 worshipped G4352 him that liveth G2198 forever and ever G1519 G165 G165 .
