| 1And 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. | 1I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a book written inside and on the back, sealed up with seven seals. |
| 2And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? | 2And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the book and to break its seals?" |
| 3And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. | 3And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the book or to look into it. |
| 4And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. | 4Then I began to weep greatly because no one was found worthy to open the book or to look into it; |
| 5And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. | 5and one of the elders said to me, "Stop weeping; behold, the Lion that is from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome so as to open the book and its seven seals." |
| 6And 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. | 6And I saw between the throne (with the four living creatures) and the elders a Lamb standing, as if slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth. |
| 7And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. | 7And He came and took the book out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne. |
| 8And 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. | 8When He had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. |
| 9And 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; | 9And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. |
| 10And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. | 10"You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God; and they will reign upon the earth." |
| 11And 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; | 11Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands, |
| 12Saying 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. | 12saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing." |
| 13And 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. | 13And every created thing which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all things in them, I heard saying, "To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever." |
| 14And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever. | 14And the four living creatures kept saying, "Amen." And the elders fell down and worshiped. |
