1 And I saw on the right (hand) of the One sitting on the throne a book having been written inside and on the back, having been sealed (with) seven seals.

2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming in a great voice, “Who (is) worthy to open the book and to loose its seals?”

3 And no one in [the] heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the book or to look into it.

4 And I was weeping much, because no one was found worthy to open the book or to look into it.

5 And one from(=of) the elders says(=said) to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion from(=of) the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, overcame to open the book and its seven seals.”

6 And I saw, in the middle of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the middle of the elders, a Lamb standing(# perfect as present) as if having been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God having been sent out into all the earth.

7 And he came and has taken the book1 from the right (hand) of the One sitting on the throne.

8 And when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp and golden bowls being full of incense[s], which are the prayers of the saints.

9 And they sing(=sang) a new song, saying, “You are worthy to take the book and to open its seals, because you were slain and you bought(=redeemed) us2 (for) [the] God by your blood from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.”

10 “And you have made them(=us)3 (to be) a kingdom(=kings)4 and priests to our God, and they will reign(=we shall reign)5 on the earth.”

11 And I saw, and I heard a(=the) voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was myriads(=10,000s) of myriads and thousands of thousands,

12 saying (with) a great voice, “Worthy is the Lamb having been slain to receive [the] power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing!”

13 And I heard every creature which (is) in [the] heaven and on [the] earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all things in them, saying, “To the One sitting on the throne and to the Lamb (be) [the] blessing and [the] honor and [the] glory and [the] power unto the ages of the ages(=for ever and ever)!”

14 And the four living creatures were saying, “Amen!” And the twenty-four6 elders fell down and worshipped the One living unto the ages of the ages7.
