1接著，我看見坐在寶座上的那位右手拿著一卷內外寫著字、用七個印封住的書。2有一位大力天使高聲問道：「誰有資格揭開那七個封印，打開那卷書？」3可是，天上、地上、甚至地底下都沒有人有資格揭開並閱讀那卷書。4我見無人有資格揭開並閱讀那卷書，便放聲大哭。5有一位長老對我說：「不要哭。你看，猶大支派的獅子、大衛的根已經得勝了！祂能揭開那七個封印，打開那卷書。」6我又看到寶座、四個活物和眾長老之間站著一隻好像是被宰殺過的羔羊。祂身上的七隻角和七隻眼睛代表奉差遣到普天下去的上帝的七靈。7那羔羊走上前去，從坐在寶座上的那位右手中接過書卷。8祂拿過書卷後，四個活物和二十四位長老就俯伏在羔羊面前，各拿著豎琴和盛滿了香的金香爐。那些香就是眾聖徒的祈禱。9他們唱著一首新歌： 「你配拿書卷並揭開封印， 因你曾被殺， 用你的血從各部落、各語言族群、各民族、各國家， 將人買贖回來歸給上帝。10你又使他們成為上帝的國度和祭司， 他們要在地上執掌王權。」11我看見寶座、四個活物和眾長老的周圍有千千萬萬的天使，又聽見他們高聲呼喊：12「那被殺的羔羊配得權柄、財富、智慧、能力、尊貴、榮耀和頌讚！」13我又聽到天上、地上、地底下和海洋中一切被造之物同聲說：「願頌讚、尊貴、榮耀和權柄都歸於坐在寶座上的那位和羔羊，直到永永遠遠！」14四個活物就說：「阿們！」眾長老也俯伏敬拜。

The Scroll and the Lamb
1Then I saw in the right hand of him who was seated on the throne a scroll written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals.2And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?”3And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it,4and I began to weep loudly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it.5And one of the elders said to me, “Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.”6And between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders I saw a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.7And he went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who was seated on the throne.8And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.9And they sang a new song, saying, “Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation,10and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth.”11Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands,12saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!”13And 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 blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!”14And the four living creatures said, “Amen!” and the elders fell down and worshiped.
