5:1
Καὶ εἶδον ἐπὶ τὴν δεξιὰν τοῦ καθημένου ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου βιβλίον γεγραμμένον ἔσωθεν καὶ ὄπισθεν, κατεσφραγισμένον σφραγῖσιν ἑπτά.
Et vidi in dextera sedentis supra thronum, librum scriptum intus et foris, signatum sigillis septem.
ወእምዝ ርኢኩ ውስተ የማኑ ለውእቱ ዘይነብር ዲበ መንበር መጽሐፈ ጽሕፍተ እንተ ውስጣ ወእንተ አፍኣሃ ወኅትምት በሰብዐቱ ማኅተም።
I saw, in the right hand of him who sat on the throne, a book written inside and outside, sealed shut with seven seals.
5:2
καὶ εἶδον ἄγγελον ἰσχυρὸν κηρύσσοντα ἐν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ, τίς ἄξιος ἀνοῖξαι τὸ βιβλίον καὶ λῦσαι τὰς σφραγῖδας αὐτοῦ;
Et vidi angelum fortem, praedicantem voce magna : Quis est dignus aperire librum, et solvere signacula ejus ?
ወርኢኩ መልአክ ዐቢይ ይጸርሕ ወይብል በቃል ዐቢይ ለመኑ ይደልዎ ይክሥታ ለዛቲ መጽሐፍ ወይፍታሕ ማኅተሚሃ።
I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the book, and to break its seals?”
5:3
καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐδύνατο ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ οὔτε ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς οὔτε ὑποκάτω τῆς γῆς ἀνοῖξαι τὸ βιβλίον οὔτε βλέπειν αὐτό.
Et nemo poterat neque in caelo, neque in terra, neque subtus terram aperire librum, neque respicere illum.
ወአልቦ ዘክህለ ከሢቶታ ለይእቲ መጽሐፍ ወኢርእዮታ ኢበሰማይ ወኢበምድር።
No one in heaven above, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book or to look in it.
5:4
καὶ ἔκλαιον πολὺ ὅτι οὐδεὶς ἄξιος εὑρέθη ἀνοῖξαι τὸ βιβλίον οὔτε βλέπειν αὐτό.
Et ego flebam multum, quoniam nemo dignus inventus est aperire librum, nec videre eum.
ወብዙኃን እለ በከዩ ወአነሂ ምስሌሆሙ እስመ አልቦ ዘተረክበ ዘይደልዎ ይክሥታ ለይእቲ መጽሐፍ ወይርአያ።
Then I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the book or to look in it.
5:5
καὶ εἷς ἐκ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων λέγει μοι, μὴ κλαῖε· ἰδοὺ ἐνίκησεν ὁ λέων ὁ ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς Ἰούδα, ἡ ῥίζα Δαυείδ, ἀνοῖξαι τὸ βιβλίον καὶ τὰς ἑπτὰ σφραγῖδας αὐτοῦ.
Et unus de senioribus dixit mihi : Ne fleveris : ecce vicit leo de tribu Juda, radix David, aperire librum, et solvere septem signacula ejus.
ወይቤለኒ አሐዱ እምውስተ እልክቱ ሊቃናት ኢትብኪ ናሁ ሞአ አንበሳ ዘእምነገደ ይሁዳ ዘእምውስተ ሥርዉ ለዳዊት ከመ ይፍትሓ ለይእቲ መጽሐፍ ወለማኅተሚሃ።
One of the elders said to me, “Don’t weep. Behold, the Lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome: he who opens the book and its seven seals.”
5:6
Καὶ εἶδον ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ θρόνου καὶ τῶν τεσσάρων ζώων καὶ ἐν μέσῳ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων ἀρνίον ἑστηκὼς ὡς ἐσφαγμένον, ἔχων κέρατα ἑπτὰ καὶ ὀφθαλμοὺς ἑπτά, οἵ εἰσιν τὰ ἑπτὰ πνεύματα τοῦ θεοῦ ἀπεσταλμένα εἰς πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν.
Et vidi : et ecce in medio throni et quatuor animalium, et in medio seniorum, Agnum stantem tamquam occisum, habentem cornua septem, et oculos septem : qui sunt septem spiritus Dei, missi in omnem terram.
ወርኢኩ ማእከለ ዝኩ መንበር ወእልክቱ አርባዕቱ እንስሳሁ ወማእከለ እልክቱ ዕሥራ ወአርባዕቱ ሊቃናት ይቀውም በግዕ ከመ ዘርጉዝ ውእቱ ወቦ ሰብዐቱ አቅርንት ወሰብዐቱ አዕይንት ወዝንቱ ውእቱ መንፈሱ ለእግዚአብሔር ዘተፈነወ ውስተ ኵላ ምድር።
I saw in the middle of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the middle of the elders, a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth.
5:7
καὶ ἦλθεν καὶ εἴληφεν ἐκ τῆς δεξιᾶς τοῦ καθημένου ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου.
Et venit : et accepit de dextera sedentis in throno librum.
ወመጽአ ወተመጠዋ ለይእቲ መጽሐፍ እምነ የማኑ ለዝክቱ ዘይነብር ዲበ መንበር።
Then he came, and he took it out of the right hand of him who sat on the throne.
5:8
καὶ ὅτε ἔλαβεν τὸ βιβλίον, τὰ τέσσερα ζῷα καὶ οἱ εἴκοσι τέσσαρες πρεσβύτεροι ἔπεσαν ἐνώπιον τοῦ ἀρνίου, ἔχοντες ἕκαστος κιθάραν καὶ φιάλας χρυσᾶς γεμούσας θυμιαμάτων, αἵ εἰσιν αἱ προσευχαὶ τῶν ἁγίων.
Et cum aperuisset librum, quatuor animalia, et viginti quatuor seniores ceciderunt coram Agno, habentes singuli citharas, et phialas aureas plenas odoramentorum, quae sunt orationes sanctorum :
ወሶበ ተመጠዋ ለይእቲ መጽሐፍ ሰገዱ ሎቱ ቅድሜሁ ለውእቱ በግዕ እልክቱ ዕሥራ ወአርባዕቱ ሊቃናት ወእልክቱ አርባዕቱ እንስሳሁ ወያጸንዑ ኵሎሙ ጽዋዓተ ወርቅ ዘምሉእ ዕጣነ ወመሰንቆ መዝሙር ወዝ ውእቱ ጸሎቶሙ ለቅዱሳን።
Now when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
5:9
καὶ ᾄδουσιν ᾠδὴν καινὴν λέγοντες, ἄξιος εἶ λαβεῖν τὸ βιβλίον καὶ ἀνοῖξαι τὰς σφραγῖδας αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἐσφάγης καὶ ἠγόρασας τῷ θεῷ ἐν τῷ αἵματί σου ἐκ πάσης φυλῆς καὶ γλώσσης καὶ λαοῦ καὶ ἔθνους,
et cantabant canticum novum, dicentes : Dignus es, Domine, accipere librum, et aperire signacula ejus : quoniam occisus es, et redemisti nos Deo in sanguine tuo ex omni tribu, et lingua, et populo, et natione :
ወይዜምሩ በመዝሙር ሐዲስ ወይብሉ ይደልወከ ትንሥኣ ለዛቲ መጽሐፍ ወትፍታሕ ማኅተሚሃ እስመ ተቀተልከ ወተሣየጥከ በደምከ ለእግዚአብሔር እምነ ኵሉ ሕዝብ ወአሕዛብ ወነገድ ወበሓውርት።
They sang a new song, saying, “You are worthy to take the book and to open its seals, for you were killed, and bought us for God with your blood out of every tribe, language, people, and nation,
5:10
καὶ ἐποίησας αὐτοὺς τῷ θεῷ ἡμῶν βασιλείαν καὶ ἱερεῖς, καὶ βασιλεύσουσιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
et fecisti nos Deo nostro regnum, et sacerdotes : et regnabimus super terram.
ወረሰይከ እምኔሆሙ ለመንግሥተ እግዚአብሔር ካህናተ ወነገሥተ ከመ ይምልኩ ኵሎ ምድረ።
and made us kings and priests to our God; and we will reign on the earth.”
5:11
καὶ εἶδον, καὶ ἤκουσα ὡς φωνὴν ἀγγέλων πολλῶν κύκλῳ τοῦ θρόνου καὶ τῶν ζώων καὶ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων, καὶ ἦν ὁ ἀριθμὸς αὐτῶν μυριάδες μυριάδων καὶ χιλιάδες χιλιάδων,
Et vidi, et audivi vocem angelorum multorum in circuitu throni, et animalium, et seniorum : et erat numerus eorum millia millium,
ወሰማዕኩ ቃለ መላእክት ብዙኃን በዐውዱ ለውእቱ መንበር ወዘእንስሳሁኒ ወዘእልክቱኒ ሊቃናት ወኍልቆሙሰ እልፍ ወአእላፍ ወትእልፊተ አእላፋት ዘእልፍ አግዓዚ።
I looked, and I heard something like a voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders. The number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, and thousands of thousands,
5:12
λέγοντες φωνῇ μεγάλῃ, ἄξιός ἐστιν τὸ ἀρνίον τὸ ἐσφαγμένον λαβεῖν τὴν δύναμιν καὶ πλοῦτον καὶ σοφίαν καὶ ἰσχὺν καὶ τιμὴν καὶ δόξαν καὶ εὐλογίαν.
dicentium voce magna : Dignus est Agnus, qui occisus est, accipere virtutem, et divinitatem, et sapientiam, et fortitudinem, et honorem, et gloriam, et benedictionem.
ወይብሉ በቃል ዐቢይ ይደልዎ ለውእቱ በግዕ ዘተቀትለ ከመ ይንሣእ ኀይለ ወብዕለ ወጥበበ ወጽንዐ ወመንግሥተ ወክብረ ወስብሐተ ወበረከተ።
saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who has been killed to receive the power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing!”
5:13
καὶ πᾶν κτίσμα ὃ ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ ὑποκάτω τῆς γῆς καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς θαλάσσης, καὶ τὰ ἐν αὐτοῖς πάντα καὶ ἤκουσα λέγοντας, τῷ καθημένῳ ἐπὶ τῷ θρόνῳ καὶ τῷ ἀρνίῳ ἡ εὐλογία καὶ ἡ τιμὴ καὶ ἡ δόξα καὶ τὸ κράτος εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων.
Et omnem creaturam, quae in caelo est, et super terram, et sub terra, et quae sunt in mari, et quae in eo : omnes audivi dicentes : Sedenti in throno, et Agno, benedictio et honor, et gloria, et potestas in saecula saeculorum.
ወኵሉ ዘተፈጥረ ዘበሰማይ ወዘበምድር ወዘታሕተ ምድር ወዘውስተ ባሕር ወኵሉ ዘውስቴቶሙ ይብሉ ስብሐት ወክብር ወኀይል ወበረከት ለዘይነብር ዲበ መንበሩ ወለበግዑ ለዓለመ ዓለም አሜን።
I heard every created thing which is in heaven, on the earth, under the earth, on the sea, and everything in them, saying, “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion, forever and ever! Amen!”
5:14
καὶ τὰ τέσσερα ζῷα ἔλεγον, ἀμήν· καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι ἔπεσαν καὶ προσεκύνησαν.
Et quatuor animalia dicebant : Amen. Et viginti quatuor seniores ceciderunt in facies suas : et adoraverunt viventem in saecula saeculorum.
ወይብሉ እልክቱ አርባዕቱ እንስሳሁ አሜን ወሰገዱ ሎቱ እልክቱ ሊቃናት።
The four living creatures said, “Amen!” Then the elders fell down and worshiped.
