Revelation 5

¹And I saw a book in the right hand of the one who was sitting on the throne. It had writing inside and outside, and it was sealed with seven seals. ²And I saw a strong angel proclaiming in a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the book, and to break its seals?" ³And nobody in heaven or on earth, or under the earth was able to open the book or to look inside it. ⁴I cried a lot because nobody was found worth to open the book or to look inside it. ⁵Then on eof the elders said to me, "Stop crying! Look here! The Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has won the right to open the book and to break its seven seals."

⁶And I a lamb standing among the four creatures around the throne and among the elders, looking as though it had been sacrificed. It had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God who are sent out into all the earth. ⁷And he came and took the book out of the right hand of the one who was sitting on the thrown. ⁸And when he took the book, the four living creatures and the 24 elders fell down before the lamb. Each one had a lyre, and bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of the saints. ⁹And they sang a new song, with these words:

You are worth to take the book
and to open its seals

because you were sacrificed and you ransomed people to God by means of your blood
from every tribe and tongue and people and nationality
¹⁰And you made them a kingdom for our God and priests, and they shall reign on the earth. ¹¹And I looked, and I heard the sound of many angels around the throne and of the living creatures and of the elders, and there were tens of ten thousands and thousands of thousands of them. ¹²And they said in a loud voice,

Worthy is the sacrificed lamb to recieve
Power and riches and wisdom and strength
and honor and glory and praise.

¹³And I heard every creature that was in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea and the creatures that are in them saying,

To the one who is sitting on the throne and to the lamb
Blessing and honor and glory and strength
into the ages of ages.

¹⁴And the four creatures were saying, "Amen!" And the elders fell down and worship.
