¹A videl som na pravici sediaceho na tróne knihu, popísanú zvnútra i zozadu, zapečatenú siedmimi pečaťami.

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;

²A videl som silného anjela, ktorý hlásal velikým hlasom: Kto je hoden otvoriť knihu a zrušiť jej pečate?

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?`

³A nikto nemohol na nebi ani na zemi ani pod zemou otvoriť knihu ani nazrieť do nej.

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

⁴A ja som veľmi plakal, že sa nikto nenašiel hoden otvoriť a prečítať knihu ani nazrieť do nej.

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

⁵A jeden zo starcov mi povedal: Neplač! Hľa, zvíťazil lev z pokolenia Júdovho, koreň Dávidov, aby otvoril knihu a zrušil jej sedem pečatí.

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;

⁶A videl som a hľa, prostred trónu a tých štyroch živých bytostí a prostred starcov stál Baránok, ako zabitý, ktorý mal sedem rohov a sedem očí, ktoré sú siedmi duchovia Boží, poslaní na celú zem.

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,

⁷A prišiel a vzal knihu z pravice toho, ktorý to sedel na tróne.

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

⁸A keď vzal knihu, štyri živé bytosti a dvadsiati štyria starci padli pred Baránkom majúc každý harfu a zlatú čašu, plnú kadiva, čo sú modlitby svätých,

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,

⁹a spievali novú pieseň a hovorili: Hoden si vziať knihu a otvoriť jej pečate, lebo si bol zabitý a vykúpil si nás Bohu svojou krvou z každého pokolenia a z každého jazyka, ľudu a národa

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,

¹⁰a učinil si nás našemu Bohu kráľmi a kňazmi, a budeme kraľovať na zemi.

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

¹¹A videl som a počul hlas mnohých anjelov okolo trónu a okolo živých bytostí a okolo starcov. A ich počet bol myriady myriád a tisíce tisícov,

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 —

¹²ktorí hovorili veľkým hlasom: Hoden je Baránok, ten zabitý, vziať moc a bohatstvo a múdrosť a vládu a česť a slávu a dobrorečenie.

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!`

¹³A každé stvorenie, ktoré je na nebi a na zemi a pod zemou a na mori, a všetko, čo je v nich, počul som hovoriť: Sediacemu na tróne a Baránkovi dobrorečenie a česť a sláva a sila na veky vekov.

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!`

¹⁴A štyri živé bytosti vravely: Ameň. A dvadsiati štyria starci padli a klaňali sa živému na veky vekov.

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.
