¹ And I saw upon the right hand of the one sitting upon the throne a book which has been written on the inside and outside, and has been sealed with seven seals.

² And I saw a strong messenger preaching {i.e., proclaiming} in a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book and to loose its seals?

³ And no one in the heaven above or upon the earth or underneath the earth, was able to open the book or to look in it.

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

⁵ And one out-of the elders says to me, Do not weep; behold, the Lion, one from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, overcame, he who opens the book and its seven seals.

⁶ And I saw in the middle of the throne and the four living creatures and in the middle of the elders, a Lamb standing, as one who has been slaughtered, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God, being sent into all the earth.

⁷ And he came and has taken it out-of the right hand of the one sitting upon the throne.

⁸ And when he took the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down in the Lamb’s sight, each one having a harp and golden bowls full of incenses, which are the prayers of the holy-ones.

⁹ And they are singing a new song, saying, You are worthy to take the book and to open its seals, because you were slaughtered and bought us in your blood for God out-of every tribe and language and people and nation.

¹⁰ And you made$ them kings and priests to our God, and they will be reigning over the earth. {Rev 20:6}

¹¹ And I saw and I heard a voice like that of many messengers surrounding the throne and the living creatures and the elders, and the number of them was tens of thousands of tens of thousands,

¹² saying in a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb who has been slaughtered to receive the power and the riches, and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and thanks.

¹³ And every created thing which is in the heaven and upon the earth and underneath the earth and is upon the sea and all things in them, I heard saying, To the one sitting upon the throne and to the Lamb, is the thanks and the honor and the glory and the dominion, forevermore. Amen.

¹⁴ And the four living creatures are saying the amen; and the elders fell down and worshiped him.
