Opening the chapter…

And I saw in the right hand of the one sitting on the throne a scroll, written on the inside and on the back, having been sealed with seven seals.
And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who {is} worthy to open the scroll and to break its seals?” \*
And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to read it.
And I was weeping much because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to read it.
And one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered to open the scroll and its seven seals.” \*
And I saw, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, as having been slaughtered, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent into all the earth.
And he came and took {the scroll} from the right hand of the one sitting on the throne. \*
And when he took the scroll, the four living creatures and the 24 elders fell before the Lamb, each one having a harp and golden bowls being full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. \*
And they sing a new song, saying, “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slaughtered and with your blood you bought {people} for God from every tribe and language and people and nation. 10 And you made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they will reign on the earth.” \*
And I looked and heard the sound 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,
saying in a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb having been slaughtered to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing.” \*
And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea and everything in them saying, “To the one sitting on the throne and to the Lamb {be} praise and honor and glory and power to the ages of the ages.”
And the four living creatures said, “Amen!” and the elders fell down and worshiped. \*
