¹በዙፋኑ ላይም በተቀመጠው በቀኝ እጁ ላይ በውስጥና በኋላ የተጻፈበት በሰባትም ማኅተም የተዘጋ መጽሐፍን አየሁ።

¹And I saw on the right hand of him that sat upon the throne a book, written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals.

²ብርቱም መልአክ። መጽሐፉን ይዘረጋ ዘንድ ማኅተሞቹንም ይፈታ ዘንድ የሚገባው ማን ነው? ብሎ በታላቅ ድምፅ ሲያውጅ አየሁ።

²And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who [is] worthy to open the book, and to break its seals?

³በሰማይም ቢሆን በምድርም ላይ ቢሆን ከምድርም በታች ቢሆን መጽሐፉን ሊዘረጋ ወይም ሊመለከተው ማንም አልተቻለውም።

³And no one was able in the heaven, or upon the earth, or underneath the earth, to open the book, or to regard it.

⁴መጽሐፉን ሊዘረጋ ወይም ሊመለከተው የሚገባው ማንም ስላልተገኘ እጅግ አለቀስሁ።

⁴And *I* wept much because no one had been found worthy to open the book nor to regard it.

⁵ከሽማግሌዎቹም አንዱ። አታልቅስ፤ እነሆ፥ ከይሁዳ ነገድ የሆነው አንበሳ እርሱም የዳዊት ሥር መጽሐፉን ይዘረጋ ዘንድ ሰባቱንም ማኅተም ይፈታ ዘንድ ድል ነሥቶአል አለኝ።

⁵And one of the elders says to me, Do not weep. Behold, the lion which [is] of the tribe of Juda, the root of David, has overcome [so as] to open the book, and its seven seals.

⁶በዙፋኑና በአራቱ እንስሶች መካከልም በሽማግሌዎችም መካከል እንደ ታረደ በግ ቆሞ አየሁ፥ ሰባትም ቀንዶችና ሰባት ዓይኖች ነበሩት እነርሱም ወደ ምድር ሁሉ የተላኩ የእግዚአብሔር መናፍስት ናቸው።

⁶And 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 slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God [which are] sent into all the earth:

⁷መጥቶም በዙፋን ላይ ከተቀመጠ ከዚያ ከቀኝ እጁ መጽሐፉን ወሰደው።

⁷and it came and took [it] out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.

⁸መጽሐፉንም በወሰደ ጊዜ አራቱ እንስሶችና ሀያ አራቱ ሽማግሌዎች በበጉ ፊት ወደቁ፥ እያንዳንዳቸውም በገናንና የቅዱሳን ጸሎት የሆነ ዕጣን የሞላበትን የወርቅ ዕቃ ያዙ።

⁸And when it took the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell before the Lamb, having each a harp and golden bowls full of incenses, which are the prayers of the saints.

⁹መጽሐፉን ትወስድ ዘንድ ማኅተሞቹንም ትፈታ ዘንድ ይገባሃል፥ ታርደሃልና፥ በደምህም ለእግዚአብሔር ከነገድ ሁሉ ከቋንቋም ሁሉ ከወገንም ሁሉ ከሕዝብም ሁሉ ሰዎችን ዋጅተህ ለአምላካችን መንግሥትና ካህናት ይሆኑ ዘንድ አደረግሃቸው፥ በምድርም ላይ ይነግሣሉ እያሉ አዲስን ቅኔ ይዘምራሉ።

⁹And they sing a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open its seals; because thou hast been slain, and hast redeemed to God, by thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation,

¹¹አየሁም፥ በዙፋኑም በእንስሶቹም በሽማግሌዎቹም ዙሪያ የብዙ መላእክትን ድምፅ ሰማሁ፤ ቍጥራቸውም አእላፋት ጊዜ አእላፋትና ሺህ ጊዜ ሺህ ነበር፥

¹⁰and made them to our God kings and priests; and they shall reign over the earth.

¹²በታላቅም ድምፅ። የታረደው በግ ኃይልና ባለ ጠግነት ጥበብም ብርታትም ክብርም ምስጋናም በረከትም ሊቀበል ይገባዋል አሉ።

¹¹And I saw, and I heard [the] voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and their number was ten thousands of ten thousands and thousands of thousands;

¹³በሰማይና በምድርም ከምድርም በታች በባሕርም ላይ ያለ ፍጥረት ሁሉ በእነርሱም ውስጥ ያለ ሁሉ። በረከትና ክብር ምስጋናም ኃይልም ከዘላለም እስከ ዘላለም በዙፋኑ ላይ ለተቀመጠው፥ ለበጉም ይሁን ሲሉ ሰማሁ።

¹²saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that has been slain, to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

¹⁴አራቱም እንስሶች። አሜን አሉ፥ ሽማግሌዎቹም ወድቀው ሰገዱ።

¹³And every creature which is in the heaven and upon the earth and under the earth, and [those that are] upon the sea, and all things in them, heard I saying, To him that sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb, blessing, and honour, and glory, and might, to the ages of ages.

¹⁴And the four living creatures said, Amen; and the elders fell down and did homage.
