| 5 | 1 | And I saw, in the right hand of him that sat on the throne, a book, written within and without, sealed with seven seals. | et vidi in dextera sedentis super thronum librum scriptum intus et foris signatum sigillis septem |
| 5 | 2 | And I saw a strong angel, proclaiming with a loud voice: Who is worthy to open the book and to loose the seals thereof? | et vidi angelum fortem praedicantem voce magna quis est dignus aperire librum et solvere signacula eius |
| 5 | 3 | And no man was able, neither in heaven nor on earth nor under the earth, to open the book, nor to look on it. | et nemo poterat in caelo neque in terra neque subtus terram aperire librum neque respicere illum |
| 5 | 4 | And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open the book, nor to see it. | et ego flebam multum quoniam nemo dignus inventus est aperire librum nec videre eum |
| 5 | 5 | And 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. | et unus de senioribus dicit mihi ne fleveris ecce vicit leo de tribu Iuda radix David aperire librum et septem signacula eius |
| 5 | 6 | And 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. | et vidi et ecce in medio throni et quattuor animalium et in medio seniorum agnum stantem tamquam occisum habentem cornua septem et oculos septem qui sunt spiritus Dei missi in omnem terram |
| 5 | 7 | And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat on the throne. | et venit et accepit de dextera sedentis de throno |
| 5 | 8 | And 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. | et cum aperuisset librum quattuor animalia et viginti quattuor seniores ceciderunt coram agno habentes singuli citharas et fialas aureas plenas odoramentorum quae sunt orationes sanctorum |
| 5 | 9 | And 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: | et cantant novum canticum dicentes dignus es accipere librum et aperire signacula eius quoniam occisus es et redemisti nos Deo in sanguine tuo ex omni tribu et lingua et populo et natione |
| 5 | 10 | And hast made us to our God a kingdom and priests, and we shall reign on the earth. | et fecisti eos Deo nostro regnum et sacerdotes et regnabunt super terram |
| 5 | 11 | And 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), | et vidi et audivi vocem angelorum multorum in circuitu throni et animalium et seniorum et erat numerus eorum milia milium |
| 5 | 12 | Saying 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. | dicentium voce magna dignus est agnus qui occisus est accipere virtutem et divinitatem et sapientiam et fortitudinem et honorem et gloriam et benedictionem |
| 5 | 13 | And 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. | et omnem creaturam quae in caelo est et super terram et sub terram et quae sunt in mari et quae in ea omnes audivi dicentes sedenti in throno et agno benedictio et honor et gloria et potestas in saecula saeculorum |
| 5 | 14 | And 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. | et quattuor animalia dicebant amen et seniores ceciderunt et adoraverunt |
