1ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲥⲁⲟⲩ⳿ⲓⲛⲁⲙ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩϫⲱⲙ ⲉϥ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⲥⲁϧⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥⲧⲟⲃ ⳿ⲛⲍ̅ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲃⲥ.
1Then I saw a scroll in the right hand of the One seated on the throne. It had writing on both sides and was sealed with seven seals.
2ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉϥϫⲟⲣ ⲉϥϩⲓⲱⲓϣ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓϫⲱⲙ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥⲧⲉⲃⲥ.
2And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?”
3ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ϣϫⲉⲙϫⲟⲙ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲕⲁϩⲓ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲥⲁⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲕⲁϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲁⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϫⲱⲙ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
3But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or look inside it.
4ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲩⲣⲓⲙⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲉⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϫⲱⲙ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
4And I began to weep bitterly, because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or look inside it.
5ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲓ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲏⲓ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲣⲓⲙⲓ ϩⲏⲡⲡⲉ ⲁϥϭⲣⲟ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲙⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲫⲩⲗⲏ ⳿ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲛⲟⲩⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲇⲁⲩⲓⲇ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲁⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϫⲱⲙ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉϥⲧⲉⲃⲥ.
5Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed to open the scroll and its seven seals.”
6ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲙⲏϯ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲇ̅ ⳿ⲛⲍⲱⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲙⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩϩⲓⲏⲃ ⲉϥⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ⲉϥϧⲉⲗϧⲱⲗ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲍ̅ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲡ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲩⲭⲏ ϩⲓϫⲱϥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲍ̅ ⳿ⲙⲃⲁⲗ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲍ̅ ⳿ⲙⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲟⲩⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲕⲁϩⲓ ⲧⲏⲣϥ.
6Then I saw a Lamb who appeared to have been slain, standing in the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which represent the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth.
7ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⲁϥⲱⲗⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϫⲱⲙ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲟⲩ⳿ⲓⲛⲁⲙ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ.
7And He came and took the scroll from the right hand of the One seated on the throne.
8ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲧⲁϥϭⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϫⲱⲙ ⲁ ⲡⲓⲇ̅ ⳿ⲛⲍⲱⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲕ̅ⲇ̅ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲁⲩϩⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϩⲓⲏⲃ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲕⲩⲑⲁⲣⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛⲫⲩⲁⲗⲏ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲃ ⲉⲩⲙⲉϩ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥⲑⲟⲓⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲥⲉⲩⲭⲏ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲁⲅⲓⲟⲥ.
8When He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp, and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
9ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲩϩⲱⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲱⲇⲏ ⳿ⲙⲃⲉⲣⲓ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲕⲉⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ ⳿ⲉϭⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϫⲱⲙ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲁⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥⲧⲉⲃⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩϧⲉⲗϧⲱⲗⲕ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲕϣⲟⲡⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲕ⳿ⲥⲛⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲫⲩⲗⲏ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲗⲁⲥ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ϣⲗⲟⲗ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ.
9And they sang a new song: “Worthy are You to take the scroll and open its seals, because You were slain, and by Your blood You purchased for God those from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.
10ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲕⲑⲁⲙⲓⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛⲟⲩⲏⲃ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲉⲉⲣⲟⲩⲣⲟ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲕⲁϩⲓ.
10You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign upon the earth.”
11ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲓⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲧ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲍⲱⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲉ ⲧⲟⲩⲏⲡⲓ ⲛⲉ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ⲑⲃⲁ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛ⳿ⲑⲃⲁ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛⲁⲛϣⲟ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲁⲛϣⲟ.
11Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels and living creatures and elders encircling the throne, and their number was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands.

12In a loud voice they were saying: “Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing!”
13ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲥⲱⲛⲧ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲕⲁϩⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲏⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲓⲟⲙ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲏ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲓⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲫⲱⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲧⲁⲓ⳿ⲟ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲁⲙⲁϩⲓ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ.
13And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying: “To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power forever and ever!”
14ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓⲇ̅ ⳿ⲛⲍⲱⲟⲛ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲙⲏⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲁⲩϩⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲟⲩϩⲟ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ
14And the four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped.
