1Et vidi in dextera sedentis supra thronum,And in the right hand of the One sitting upon the throne,librum scriptum intusI saw a book,et foris,written inside and out,signatum sigillis septem.sealed with seven seals.
2Et vidi angelum fortem,And I saw a strong Angel,prædicantem voce magna:proclaiming with a great voice,Quis est dignus aperire librum,“Who is worthy to open the booket solvere signacula ejus?and to break its seals?”
3Et nemo poterat neque in cælo,And no one was able, neither in heaven,neque in terra,nor on earth,neque subtus terram aperire librum,nor under the earth, to open the book,neque respicere illum.nor to gaze upon it.
4Et ego flebam multum, quoniam nemo dignus inventus est aperire librum,And I wept greatly because no one was found worthy to open the book,nec videre eum.nor to see it.
5Et unus de senioribus dixit mihi:And one of the elders said to me:Ne fleveris:“Weep not.ecce vicit leo de tribu Juda,Behold,radix David,the lion from the tribe of Judah,aperire librum,the root of David,et solvere septem signacula ejus.has prevailed to open the book and to break its seven seals.”
6Et vidi:And I saw,et ecce in medio throniand behold,et quatuor animalium,in the midst of the throne and the four living creatures,et in medio seniorum,and in the midst of the elders,Agnum stantem tamquam occisum,a Lamb was standing,habentem cornua septem,as if it were slain,et oculos septem:having seven horns and seven eyes,qui sunt septem spiritus Dei,which are the seven spirits of God,missi in omnem terram.sent forth to all the earth.
7Et venit:And he approachedet accepit de dextera sedentis in throno librum.and received the book from the right hand of the One sitting upon the throne.
8Et cum aperuisset librum,And when he had opened the book,quatuor animalia,the four living creatureset viginti quatuor seniores ceciderunt coram Agno,and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb,habentes singuli citharas,each having stringed instruments,et phialas aureas plenas odoramentorum,as well as golden bowls full of fragrances,quæ sunt orationes sanctorum:which are the prayers of the saints.
9et cantabant canticum novum, dicentes:And they were singing a new canticle,Dignus es,saying:Domine,“O Lord,accipere librum, et aperire signacula ejus:you are worthy to receive the book and to open its seals,quoniam occisus es, et redemisti nos Deo in sanguine tuo ex omni tribu,because you were slain and have redeemed us for God, by your blood,et lingua, et populo, et natione:from every tribe and language and people and nation.
10et fecisti nos Deo nostro regnum,And you have made us into a kingdomet sacerdotes:and into priests for our God,et regnabimus super terram.and we shall reign over the earth.”
11Et vidi,And I saw,et audivi vocem angelorum multorum in circuitu throni,and I heard the voice of many Angels surrounding the throneet animalium,and the living creatureset seniorum:and the elders,et erat numerus eorum millia millium,(and their number was thousands of thousands)
12dicentium voce magna:saying with a great voice:Dignus est Agnus, qui occisus est, accipere virtutem,“The Lamb who was slain is worthy to receive power,et divinitatem,and divinity,et sapientiam,and wisdom,et fortitudinem,and strength,et honorem,and honor,et gloriam,and glory,et benedictionem.and blessing.”
13Et omnem creaturam,And every creature that is in heaven,quæ in cælo est,and on earth,et super terram,and under the earth,et sub terra,and all that is within the sea:et quæ sunt in mari,I heard them all saying:et quæ in eo:“To the One sitting upon the throneomnes audivi dicentes:and to the Lamb be blessing,Sedenti in throno,and honor,et Agno,and glory,benedictio et honor,and authority,et gloria,foreveret potestas in sæcula sæculorum.and ever.”
14Et quatuor animalia dicebant:And the four living creatures were saying,Amen.“Amen.”Et viginti quatuor seniores ceciderunt in facies suas:And the twenty-four elders fell down on their faces,et adoraverunt viventem in sæcula sæculorum.and they adored the One who lives forever and ever.
