Revelation 5

1 Then I saw a scroll in the right hand of the One seated on the throne. It had writing on both sides and was sealed with seven seals.

1 我看見坐寶座的右手中有書卷，裏外都寫着字，用七印封嚴了。

2 And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?”

2 我又看見一位大力的天使大聲宣傳說：「有誰配展開那書卷，揭開那七印呢？」

3 But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or look inside it.

3 在天上、地上、地底下，沒有能展開、能觀看那書卷的。

4 And I began to weep bitterly, because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or look inside it.

4 因為沒有配展開、配觀看那書卷的，我就大哭。

5 Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

5 長老中有一位對我說：「不要哭！看哪，猶大支派中的獅子，大衛的根，他已得勝，能以展開那書卷，揭開那七印。」

6 Then I saw a Lamb who appeared to have been slain, standing in the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which represent the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.

6 我又看見寶座與四活物，並長老之中有羔羊站立，像是被殺過的，有七角七眼，就是上帝的七靈，奉差遣往普天下去的。

7 And He came and took the scroll from the right hand of the One seated on the throne.

7 這羔羊前來，從坐寶座的右手裏拿了書卷。

8 When He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp, and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

8 他既拿了書卷，四活物和二十四位長老就俯伏在羔羊面前，各拿着琴和盛滿了香的金爐；這香就是眾聖徒的祈禱。

9 And they sang a new song: “Worthy are You to take the scroll and open its seals, because You were slain, and by Your blood You purchased for God those from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.

9 他們唱新歌，說： 你配拿書卷， 配揭開七印； 因為你曾被殺， 用自己的血 從各族、各方、各民、各國中買了人來， 叫他們歸於上帝，

10 You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign upon the earth.”

10 又叫他們成為國民， 作祭司歸於上帝， 在地上執掌王權。

11 Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels encircling the throne, and the living creatures and the elders. And their number was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands.

11 我又看見且聽見，寶座與活物並長老的周圍有許多天使的聲音；他們的數目有千千萬萬，

12 In a loud voice they were saying: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing!”

12 大聲說： 曾被殺的羔羊是配得 權柄、豐富、智慧、能力、 尊貴、榮耀、頌讚的。

13 And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying: “To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power forever and ever!”

13 我又聽見在天上、地上、地底下、滄海裏，和天地間一切所有被造之物，都說： 但願頌讚、尊貴、榮耀、權勢 都歸給坐寶座的和羔羊， 直到永永遠遠！

14 And the four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped.

14 四活物就說：「阿們！」眾長老也俯伏敬拜。
