Revelation 5

The Scroll with Seven Seals

1I sawG3708 1in the rightG1188 handG1188 of Him who 2satG2521 on the throneG2362 a 34scrollG975 writtenG1125 insideG2081 and on the backG3693, 5sealedG2696 upG2696 with sevenG2033 sealsG4973. 2And I sawG3708 a 6strongG2478 angelG32 proclaimingG2784 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, “WhoG5101 is worthyG514 to openG455 the scrollG975 and to breakG3089 its sealsG4973?” 3And noG3762 oneG3762 7in heavenG3772 orG3761 on the earthG1093 orG3761 underG5270 the earthG1093 was ableG1410 to openG455 the scrollG975 orG3777 to lookG991 into it. 4ThenG2532 I began to weepG2799 greatlyG4183 becauseG3754 noG3762 oneG3762 was foundG2147 worthyG514 to openG455 the scrollG975 orG3777 to lookG991 into it. 5And oneG1520 of the eldersG4245 saidG3004 to me, “StopG3361 weepingG2799; beholdG2400, the 8LionG3023 that is 9from the tribeG5443 of JudahG2455, the 10RootG4491 of DavidG1160, has overcomeG3528 so as to be able to openG455 the scrollG975 and its sevenG2033 sealsG4973.”

6And I sawG3708 11betweenG1722G3319 the throneG2362 (with the fourG5064 livingG2226 creaturesG2226) and 12the eldersG4245 a 13LambG721 standingG2476, as ifG5613 14slaughteredG4969, havingG2192 sevenG2033 15hornsG2768 and 16sevenG2033 eyesG3788, whichG3739 are 1718the sevenG2033 spiritsG4151 of GodG2316 sentG649 outG649 into allG3956 the earthG1093. 7And He cameG2064 and tookG2983 19the scroll out of the rightG1188 handG1188 of Him who 20satG2521 on the throneG2362. 8WhenG3753 He had takenG2983 the scrollG975, the 21fourG5064 livingG2226 creaturesG2226 and the 22twenty-fourG1501G5064 eldersG4245 23fellG4098 downG4098 beforeG1799 the 24LambG721, eachG1538 oneG1538 holdingG2192 a 25harpG2788 and 26goldenG5552 bowlsG5357 fullG1073 of incenseG2368, whichG3739 are the 27prayersG4335 of the 28saintsG40. 9And they sangG103 a 29newG2537 songG5603, sayingG3004, “30WorthyG514 are You to takeG2983 the scrollG975 and to breakG455 its sealsG4973; for You were 31slaughteredG4969, and You 32purchasedG59 people for GodG2316 with Your bloodG129 from 33everyG3956 tribeG5443, languageG1100, peopleG2992, and nationG1484. 10You have madeG4160 them into a 34kingdomG932 and 35priestsG2409 to our GodG2316, and they will 36reignG936 upon the earthG1093.”

11ThenG2532 I lookedG3708, and I heardG191 the voicesG5456 of manyG4183 angelsG32 37aroundG2945 the throneG2362 and the 38livingG2226 creaturesG2226 and the 39eldersG4245; and the numberG706 of them was 4041myriadsG3461 of myriadsG3461, and thousandsG5505 of thousandsG5505, 12sayingG3004 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, “42WorthyG514 is the 43LambG721 that was 44slaughteredG4969 to receiveG2983 powerG1411, wealthG4149, wisdomG4678, mightG2479, honorG5092, gloryG1391, and blessingG2129.” 13And I heardG191 45everyG3956 createdG2938 thingG2938 whichG3739 is in heavenG3772, or on the earthG1093, or underG5270 the earthG1093, or on the seaG2281, and allG3956 the thingsG3956 in them, sayingG3004, “To Him who 46sitsG2521 on the throneG2362 and to the 47LambG721 48be the blessingG2129, the honorG5092, the gloryG1391, and the dominionG2904 foreverG165 and everG165.” 14And the 49fourG5064 livingG2226 creaturesG2226 were sayingG3004, “50AmenG281.” And the 51eldersG4245 52fellG4098 downG4098 and worshipedG4352.
