Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne, a book written within and without, sealed with seven seals.
1我看見坐寶座的右手中有書卷,裏外都寫着字,用七印封嚴了。
2And I saw a strong angel, proclaiming with a loud voice: Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
2我又看見一位大力的天使大聲宣傳說:「有誰配展開那書卷,揭開那七印呢?」
3And no man was able, neither in heaven, nor on earth, nor under the earth, to open the book, nor to look on it.
3在天上、地上、地底下,沒有能展開、能觀看那書卷的。
4And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open the book, nor to see it.
4因為沒有配展開、配觀看那書卷的,我就大哭。
5And one of the ancients said to 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長老中有一位對我說:「不要哭!看哪, 猶大 支派中的獅子, 大衛 的根,他已得勝,能以展開那書卷,揭開那七印。」
6And I saw: and behold in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the ancients, a Lamb standing as it were slain, having seven horns and seven eyes: which are the seven Spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth.
6我又看見寶座與四活物,並長老之中有羔羊站立,像是被殺過的,有七角七眼,就是上帝的七靈,奉差遣往普天下去的。
7And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat on the throne.
7這羔羊前來,從坐寶座的右手裏拿了書卷。
8And when he had opened the book, the four living creatures, and the four and twenty ancients fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints:
8他既拿了書卷,四活物和二十四位長老就俯伏在羔羊面前,各拿着琴和盛滿了香的金爐;這香就是眾聖徒的祈禱。
9And they sung a new canticle, saying: Thou art worthy, O Lord, to take the book, and to open the seals thereof; because thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God, in thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation.
9他們唱新歌,說: 你配拿書卷, 配揭開七印; 因為你曾被殺, 用自己的血 從各族、各方、各民、各國中買了人來, 叫他們歸於上帝,
10And hast made us to our God a kingdom and priests, and we shall reign on the earth.
10又叫他們成為國民, 作祭司歸於上帝, 在地上執掌王權。
11And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne, and the living creatures, and the ancients; and the number of them was thousands of thousands,
11我又看見且聽見,寶座與活物並長老的周圍有許多天使的聲音;他們的數目有千千萬萬,
12Saying with a loud voice: The Lamb that was slain is worthy to receive power, and divinity, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and benediction.
12大聲說: 曾被殺的羔羊是配得 權柄、豐富、智慧、能力、 尊貴、榮耀、頌讚的。
13And every creature, which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them: I heard all saying: To him that sitteth on the throne, and to the Lamb, benediction, and honour, and glory, and power, for ever and ever.
13我又聽見在天上、地上、地底下、滄海裏,和天地間一切所有被造之物,都說: 但願頌讚、尊貴、榮耀、權勢 都歸給坐寶座的和羔羊, 直到永永遠遠!
14And the four living creatures said: Amen. And the four and twenty ancients fell down on their faces, and adored him that liveth for ever and ever.
14四活物就說:「阿們!」眾長老也俯伏敬拜。
