¹[Ny nandraisan'ny Mpanavotra ny boky izay nisy tombo-kase fito, sy ny hira natao ho fiderana Azy] Ary hitako fa, indro, nisy boky voasoratra tao anatiny sy teo ivohony, voapetaka mafy tamin'ny tombo-kase fito, teo an-tanana ankavanan'ilay nipetraka teo ambonin'ny seza fiandrianana.

¹And I saw upon the right hand of Him who is sitting upon the throne a scroll, written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals;

²Ary hitako fa, indro, nisy anjely mahery niantso tamin'ny feo mafy hoe: Iza no miendrika hanokatra ny boky sy hamaha ny tombo-kaseny?

²and I saw a strong messenger crying with a great voice, `Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose the seals of it?`

³Ary tsy nisy tany an-danitra, na tetỳ an-tany, na tany ambanin'ny tany, nahasokatra ny boky na nahajery azy.

³and no one was able in the heaven, nor upon the earth, nor under the earth, to open the scroll, nor to behold it.

⁴Ary nitomany mafy aho, satria tsy nisy hita miendrika hanokatra ny boky na hijery azy.

⁴And I was weeping much, because no one was found worthy to open and to read the scroll, nor to behold it,

⁵Ary ny anankiray tamin'ny loholona nanao tamiko hoe: Aza mitomany; indro, ny Liona avy amin'ny firenen'i Joda, dia ny Solofon'i Davida, no efa naharesy ka hanokatra ny boky sy hamaha ny tombo-kaseny fito. [ Gr. presbytera]

⁵and one of the elders saith to me, `Weep not; lo, overcome did the Lion, who is of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, to open the scroll, and to loose the seven seals of it;

⁶Ary hitako fa, indro, teo afovoan'ny seza fiandrianana sy ny zava-manan'aina efatra ary teo afovoan'ny loholona dia nisy Zanak'ondry nitsangana tahaka ny efa voavono, nanan-tandroka fito sy maso fito, dia ny Fanahy fiton'Andriamanitra nirahina hankany amin'ny tany rehetra. [ Gr. presbytera]

⁶and I saw, and lo, in the midst of the throne, and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb hath stood as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the Seven Spirits of God, which are sent to all the earth,

⁷Ary tonga Izy ka nandray ny boky teo an-tanana ankavanan'ilay nipetraka teo ambonin'ny seza fiandrianana.

⁷and he came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who is sitting upon the throne.

⁸Ary rehefa nandray ny boky Izy, ny zava-manana-aina efatra sy ny loholona efatra amby roa-polo dia niankohoka teo anatrehan'ny Zanak'ondry, sady samy nanana lokanga sy lovia volamena feno ditin-kazo manitra izy, dia vavaka ataon'ny olona masina izany. [ Gr. presbytera]

⁸And when he took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell before the Lamb, having each one harps and golden vials full of perfumes, which are the prayers of the saints,

⁹Ary nihira fihiram-baovao izy ka nanao hoe: Hianao no miendrika haka ny boky sy hamaha ny tombo-kaseny; Fa voavono Hianao, Ary ny rànao no nanavotanao ho an'Andriamanitra olona avy tamin'ny fokom-pirenena rehetra sy ny samy hafa fiteny sy ny olona ary ny firenena rehetra;

⁹and they sing a new song, saying, `Worthy art thou to take the scroll, and to open the seals of it, because thou wast slain, and didst redeem us to God in thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation,

¹⁰Ary efa nataonao fanjakana sy mpisorona ho an'Andriamanitsika ireo; Ary manjaka ambonin'ny tany izy.

¹⁰and didst make us to our God kings and priests, and we shall reign upon the earth.`

¹¹Ary nahita aho sady nandre feon'anjely maro manodidina ny seza fiandrianana sy ny zava-manan'aina ary ny loholona, ary ny Isany dia alinalina sy arivoarivo, [ Gr. presbytera]

¹¹And I saw, and I heard the voice of many messengers round the throne, and the living creatures, and the elders — and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands —

¹²nanao tamin'ny feo mahery hoe: Ny Zanak'ondry, Izay novonoina, dia miendrika handray hery sy harena sy fahendrena sy faherezana sy haja sy voninahitra ary saotra.

¹²saying with a great voice, `Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing!`

¹³Ary izao zavatra ary rehetra izao, na izay any an-danitra, na izay etỳ ambonin'ny tany sy any ambanin'ny tany, na izay any an-dranomasina mbamin'izay rehetra ao anatiny, dia reko samy nanao hoe: Ho an'ilay mipetraka eo ambonin'ny seza fiandrianana sy ho an'ny Zanak'ondry anie ny saotra sy ny haja sy ny voninahitra ary ny fanjakana mandrakizay mandrakizay.Ary ny zava-manan'aina efatra nanao hoe: Amena. Ary ny loholona dia niankohoka ka nivavaka. [ Gr. presbytera]

¹³and every creature that is in the heaven, and in the earth, and under the earth, and the things that are upon the sea, and the all things in them, heard I saying, `To Him who is sitting upon the throne, and to the Lamb, [is] the blessing, and the honour, and the glory, and the might — to the ages of the ages!`

¹⁴Ary ny zava-manan'aina efatra nanao hoe: Amena. Ary ny loholona dia niankohoka ka nivavaka. [ Gr. presbytera]

¹⁴and the four living creatures said, `Amen!` and the twenty-four elders fell down and they bow before Him who is living to the ages of the ages.
