1And I saw on the yamin (right hand) of the One sitting on the Kes (Throne) a sefer (book) having been written inside and on the back, having been sealed with sheva chotamot (seven seals). ⁸¹

2And I saw a strong malach (angel), proclaiming in a kol gadol (loud voice), Who is worthy to open the sefer (book) and break its chotamot (seals)?

3And no one in Shomayim or on ha'aretz or under ha'aretz was being able to open the sefer (book) or to look into it.

4And I was weeping copiously because no one was found worthy to open the sefer (book) or to look into it.

5And one of the Zekenim says to me, Do not weep, hinei, HaAryeh (The Lion) from the Shevet Yehudah (Tribe of Judah), the Shoresh Dovid (Root of Dovid), has won the nitzachon (victory) and he is able to open the sefer (book) and its sheva chotamot (seven seals). ⁸²

6And I saw between the Kes (Throne) and the Arbah Chayyot (four living beings) and among the Zekenim ⁸³(Elders) a SEH (Lamb), ⁸⁴having stood as having been slain, having sheva karnayim (horns), ⁸⁵sheva eynayim (eyes), ⁸⁶which are the sheva ruchot (spirits) of Hashem having been sent into kol ha'aretz (all the earth).

7And the SEH (Lamb) ⁸⁷came and has taken the sefer out of the yamin (right hand) of the One sitting on the Kes (Throne).

8And when the SEH ⁸⁸received the sefer, the Arbah Chayyot (four living beings) and the esrim v'arba'ah Zekenim ⁸⁹(twenty-four Elders) fell down before the SEH ⁹⁰(Lamb), each one having a nevel (harp) and golden ke'arot (bowls) full of ketoret (incense), which are the tefillos (prayers) of the Kedoshim. ⁹¹

9And they are singing a SHIR CHADASH ⁹²saying, Worthy art thou to take the sefer (book) and to open the chotamot (seals) of it, because you were slain and with your dahm [kapporah] you paid the price for the Geulah ⁹³redemption and purchased ones for Hashem from every mishpochah (family) and lashon (tongue) and am (people) and goy (nation), ⁹⁴

10And made them for Eloheinu a Malchut and kohanim, and they will reign on ha'aretz (the earth).

11And I saw and I heard the kol (voice) of many malachim (angels); they numbered myriads of myriads and v'alfei alafim (thousands of thousands), around the Kes (Throne) and the Chayyot (the living beings) and the Zekenim ⁹⁵(Elders), ⁹⁶

12Saying with a kol gadol, Worthy is the SEH (Lamb), ⁹⁷having been slain, to receive the oz (power) and the osher (wealth) and the chochmah (wisdom) and the gevurah (strength) and hod (honor) and kavod (glory) and bracha (blessing).

13And every beriyah (creature) which is in Shomayim and on ha'aretz (the earth) and under ha'aretz and on the yam (sea) and all things in them, I heard saying, To the One sitting on the Kes (Throne) and to the SEH (Lamb), ⁹⁸be the bracha (blessing) and the hod (honor) and the hadar (glory) and the memshalah (dominion) ad Olemei Olamim (forever and ever). ⁹⁹

14And the Arbah Chayyot were saying, Omein. And the Zekenim ¹⁰⁰(Elders) fell down and worshiped.
