1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within

ℵ ⟨in front⟩

and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.

1 Et vidi in dextera sedentis supra thronum, librum scriptum intus et foris, signatum sigillis septem.

2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is

ℵA ⟨is⟩

worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

2 Et vidi angelum fortem, prædicantem voce magna: Quis est dignus aperire librum, et solvere signacula ejus?

3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth,

was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.

3 Et nemo poterat neque in cælo, neque in terra, neque subtus terram aperire librum, neque respicere illum.

4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.

4 Et ego flebam multum, quoniam nemo dignus inventus est aperire librum, nec videre eum.

5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose

the seven seals thereof.

5 Et unus de senioribus dixit mihi: Ne fleveris: ecce vicit leo de tribu Juda, radix David, aperire librum, et solvere septem signacula ejus.

6 And I beheld,

and, lo,

in

the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven

Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

6 Et vidi: et ecce in medio throni et quatuor animalium, et in medio seniorum, Agnum stantem tamquam occisum, habentem cornua septem, et oculos septem: qui sunt septem spiritus Dei, missi in omnem terram.

7 And he came and took the book

ℵA ⟨the book⟩

out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.

7 Et venit: et accepit de dextera sedentis in throno librum.

8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps

ℵA ⟨each having a harp⟩

, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.

8 Et cum aperuisset librum, quatuor animalia, et viginti quatuor seniores ceciderunt coram Agno, habentes singuli citharas, et phialas aureas plenas odoramentorum, quæ sunt orationes sanctorum:

9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us

to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

9 et cantabant canticum novum, dicentes: Dignus es, Domine, accipere librum, et aperire signacula ejus: quoniam occisus es, et redemisti nos Deo in sanguine tuo ex omni tribu, et lingua, et populo, et natione:

10 And hast made us

ℵA ⟨them⟩

unto our God kings and priests

ℵ ⟨a kingdom and priesthood⟩; A ⟨a kingdom and priests⟩

: and we shall

ℵ ⟨they shall⟩; A ⟨they⟩

reign on the earth.

10 et fecisti nos Deo nostro regnum, et sacerdotes: et regnabimus super terram.

11 And I beheld, and I heard the

ℵ ⟨as it were the⟩

voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;

11 Et vidi, et audivi vocem angelorum multorum in circuitu throni, et animalium, et seniorum: et erat numerus eorum millia millium,

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

12 dicentium voce magna: Dignus est Agnus, qui occisus est, accipere virtutem, et divinitatem, et sapientiam, et fortitudinem, et honorem, et gloriam, et benedictionem.

and such as are

ℵ ⟨as are⟩

in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I

ℵ ⟨and I heard them⟩

saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power,

be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb

A ⟨the Lamb,⟩

for ever and ever.

13 Et omnem creaturam, quæ in cælo est, et super terram, et sub terra, et quæ sunt in mari, et quæ in eo: omnes audivi dicentes: Sedenti in throno, et Agno, benedictio et honor, et gloria, et potestas in sæcula sæculorum.

14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty

elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever

14 Et quatuor animalia dicebant: Amen. Et viginti quatuor seniores ceciderunt in facies suas: et adoraverunt viventem in sæcula sæculorum.
