<		 5: • 1 And I saw a scroll upon the right hand of the One sitting upon the throne. The scroll was written on both sides, within the curve as well as on the back, and it was sealed with seven seals [o]. 2 I saw a strong angel proclaim in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to break away its seals?” 3 And no one was capable, neither inside of heaven nor upon the earth nor underneath the earth, to open the scroll or to perceive what was written in it.

• 4 I wept loudly, because no one of sufficient value was found who could open the scroll to perceive what is written in it. 5 Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Look and see, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has overcome to open the scroll and to break off its seven seals [p].

6 And I saw in the middle of the throne and among the four living things and among the elders, a Lamb standing, set and appointed, a Lamb who was slain, but now possesses seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent [apostled] into all the earth. • 7 The Lamb came and took the scroll out from the right hand of the One sitting upon the throne.

8 And when He had taken the scroll, the four living things and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each with a harp and golden bowls full of incenses, which are the prayers of the devoted ones. 9 They sang a new song, saying, • “Worthy are You to take the scroll and to break off its seals, because You were slain and You purchased to God inside Your blood a people out from every tribe and language, people and ethnicity, 10 and You have made them a kingdom and priests to our God; and they shall reign as kings upon the earth.”

11 Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels circled all around the throne and the voices of the living things and the elders. The number of the angels was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, 12 and they all said with a loud voice, “Of great value is the Lamb who was slain, that He might receive the power and riches, wisdom and strength, honor and glory and blessing!”

13 And every created thing which is inside of heaven and upon the earth and underneath the earth and upon the seas and everything inside of them, I heard  them all saying to the One sitting upon the throne and to the Lamb, “Blessing and honor, glory and might into the unfolding of the ages.” 14 And the four living things kept saying, “Let it be so; it is so.” And the elders fell down and worshiped Him who lives into the unfolding of the ages.
