Свиток и Ягнёнок

Потом я увидел в правой руке Сидящего на троне свиток, исписанный с обеих сторон и запечатанный семью печатями. Я увидел могучего ангела, который громко спрашивал:

– Кто достоин снять печати и раскрыть свиток?

Но никто ни на небе, ни на земле, ни под землёй не мог раскрыть свитка и посмотреть, что внутри. Я горько плакал, потому что не нашлось достойного, кто бы мог раскрыть свиток и посмотреть, что там. Тогда один из старцев сказал мне:

– Не плачь! Смотри, победил Лев из рода Иуды,[a] Корень Довуда[b]! Он может раскрыть свиток с семью печатями!

И я увидел в самом центре трона, в окружении четырёх живых существ и старцев, Ягнёнка, выглядевшего так, будто Его принесли в жертву. У Него было семь рогов, а также семь глаз,[c] которые есть семь духов Всевышнего, посланных по всей земле. Он подошёл и взял свиток из правой руки Сидящего на троне. И когда Он его взял, четыре живых существа и двадцать четыре старца пали перед Ягнёнком. У каждого из них в руках было по арфе и по золотому сосуду, полному благовоний – это молитвы святого народа Всевышнего. И они поют новую песнь:

– Ты достоин взять свиток
    и снять с него печати!
Ведь Ты был принесён в жертву
    и Своей кровью выкупил людей для Всевышнего –
    людей из всех родов, языков, народов и племён!
10 Ты сделал их Царством и священнослужителями Всевышнего,
    и они будут царствовать на земле!

11 Потом я посмотрел и услышал голос множества ангелов, окружавших трон, живых существ и старцев, их были тьмы тем и тысячи тысяч.[d] 12 Они громко пели:

– Достоин Ягнёнок, Который был принесён в жертву,
принять власть, богатство, мудрость, силу,
честь, славу и хвалу!

13 Потом я услышал, как все существа на небе, на земле, под землёй, на море, и всё, что в них, говорили:

– Сидящему на троне и Ягнёнку
да будет хвала, честь, слава и власть
вовеки!

14 Четыре живых существа говорили: «Аминь!» И старцы упали и поклонились.

And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.

And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.

And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.

And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.

And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.

And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;

12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.

The Lamb Takes the Scroll

And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne (A)a scroll written inside and on the back, (B)sealed with seven seals. Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, (C)“Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?” And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it.

So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open [a]and read the scroll, or to look at it. But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, (D)the Lion of the tribe of (E)Judah, (F)the Root of David, has (G)prevailed to open the scroll (H)and [b]to loose its seven seals.”

And I looked, [c]and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood (I)a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and (J)seven eyes, which are (K)the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth. Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand (L)of Him who sat on the throne.

Worthy Is the Lamb

Now when He had taken the scroll, (M)the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the (N)prayers of the saints. And (O)they sang a new song, saying:

(P)“You are worthy to take the scroll,
And to open its seals;
For You were slain,
And (Q)have redeemed us to God (R)by Your blood
Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
10 And have made [d]us (S)kings[e] and (T)priests to our God;
And [f]we shall reign on the earth.”

11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice:

“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
To receive power and riches and wisdom,
And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”

13 And (U)every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying:

(V)“Blessing and honor and glory and power
Be to Him (W)who sits on the throne,
And to the Lamb, forever and [g]ever!”

14 Then the four living creatures said, “Amen!” And the [h]twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped [i]Him who lives forever and ever.
