1 And 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. 2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? 3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. 4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. 5 And 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. 6 And 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. 7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. 8 And 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. 9 And 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; 10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. 11 And 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; 12 Saying 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. 13 And 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. 14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
1 Tad es redzēju labajā rokā Tam, kas sēd uz goda krēsla, grāmatu, aprakstītu iekš- un ārpusē, aizzīmogotu septiņiem zīmogiem. 2 Es redzēju varenu eņģeli saucam stiprā balsī: "Kas ir cienīgs atvērt grāmatu un atdarīt tās zīmogus?" 3 Bet neviens ne debesīs, ne zemes virsū, ne zemes apakšā nespēja atvērt grāmatu un tanī ieskatīties. 4 Un es gauži raudāju, ka neviens nav atrasts cienīgs atvērt grāmatu un tanī ieskatīties. 5 Te viens no vecajiem saka man: "Neraudi! Redzi, uzvarējis ir lauva no Jūdas cilts, Dāvida sakne, lai atvērtu grāmatu un tās septiņus zīmogus." 6 Un es redzēju goda krēsla, četru dzīvo būtņu un vecajo vidū stāvam Jēru, kā nokautu, ar septiņiem ragiem un septiņām acīm, kas ir septiņi Dieva gari, izsūtīti pa visu pasauli. 7 Viņš nāca un saņēma grāmatu no Tā labās rokas, kas sēd goda krēslā. 8 Kad Viņš ņēma grāmatu, tad četras dzīvās būtnes un divdesmit četri vecaji metās zemē Jēra priekšā, katrs turēdams rokā cītaras un zelta kausus, pilnus kvēpināmām zālēm, kas ir svēto lūgšanas; viņi dziedāja jaunu dziesmu, sacīdami: 9 "Tu esi cienīgs ņemt grāmatu un atvērt tās zīmogus, jo Tu tapi nokauts un esi atpircis Dievam ar Savām asinīm cilvēkus no visām ciltīm, valodām, tautām un tautībām, 10 un Tu esi padarījis viņus mūsu Dievam par ķēniņiem un priesteriem, kas valdīs pār visu zemi." 11 Tad es redzēju un dzirdēju kā daudzu eņģeļu balsi visapkārt goda krēslam, dzīvām būtnēm un vecajiem, viņu skaits bija miriādu miriādes un tūkstošu tūkstoši, kas sauca skaņā balsī: 12 "Cienīgs ir tas Jērs, kas tapa nokauts, ņemt spēku, bagātību, gudrību, stiprumu, godu, slavu un pateicību!" 13 Un es dzirdēju visu radību debesīs, virs zemes, apakš zemes, jūrā un visus, kas tur ir, sakām: "Tam, kas sēd goda krēslā, un tam Jēram, lai ir pateicība, gods, slava un vara mūžu mūžos." 14 Un četras dzīvās būtnes sacīja: āmen! Vecaji metās zemē un pielūdza.
