5:1  et vidi in dextera sedentis super       1.  And I saw in the right hand of him
thronum librum scriptum intus et foris       that sat on the throne a book written
signatum sigillis septem                     within and on the backside, sealed with
                                             seven seals.

5:2  et vidi angelum fortem                  2.  And I saw a strong angel
praedicantem voce magna quis est dignus      proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is
aperire librum et solvere signacula eius     worthy to open the book, and to loose
                                             the seals thereof?

5:3  et nemo poterat in caelo neque in       3.  And no man in heaven, nor in earth,
terra neque subtus terram aperire            neither under the earth, was able to
librum neque respicere illum                 open the book, neither to look thereon.

5:4  et ego flebam multum quoniam nemo       4.  And I wept much, because no man was
dignus inventus est aperire librum nec       found worthy to open and to read the
videre eum                                   book, neither to look thereon.

5:5  et unus de senioribus dicit mihi        5.  And one of the elders saith unto
ne fleveris ecce vicit leo de tribu          me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the
Iuda radix David aperire librum et           tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath
septem signacula eius                        prevailed to open the book, and to
                                             loose the seven seals thereof.

5:6  et vidi et ecce in medio throni et      6.  And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst
quattuor animalium et in medio seniorum      of the throne and of the four beasts,
agnum stantem tamquam occisum habentem       and in the midst of the elders, stood a
cornua septem et oculos septem qui sunt      Lamb as it had been slain, having seven
spiritus Dei missi in omnem terram           horns and seven eyes, which are the
                                             seven Spirits of God sent forth into
                                             all the earth.

5:7  et venit et accepit de dextera          7.  And he came and took the book out
sedentis de throno                           of the right hand of him that sat upon
                                             the throne.

5:8  et cum aperuisset librum quattuor       8.  And when he had taken the book, the
animalia et viginti quattuor seniores        four beasts and four and twenty elders
ceciderunt coram agno habentes singuli       fell down before the Lamb, having every
citharas et fialas aureas plenas             one of them harps, and golden vials
odoramentorum quae sunt orationes            full of odours, which are the prayers
sanctorum                                    of saints.

5:9  et cantant novum canticum dicentes      9.  And they sung a new song, saying,
dignus es accipere librum et aperire         Thou art worthy to take the book, and
signacula eius quoniam occisus es et         to open the seals thereof: for thou
redemisti nos Deo in sanguine tuo ex         wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God
omni tribu et lingua et populo et            by thy blood out of every kindred, and
natione                                      tongue, and people, and nation;

5:10  et fecisti eos Deo nostro regnum       10.  And hast made us unto our God
et sacerdotes et regnabunt super terram      kings and priests: and we shall reign
                                             on the earth.

5:11  et vidi et audivi vocem angelorum      11.  And I beheld, and I heard the
multorum in circuitu throni et               voice of many angels round about the
animalium et seniorum et erat numerus        throne and the beasts and the elders:
eorum milia milium                           and the number of them was ten thousand
                                             times ten thousand, and thousands of
                                             thousands;

5:12  dicentium voce magna dignus est        12.  Saying with a loud voice, Worthy
agnus qui occisus est accipere virtutem      is the Lamb that was slain to receive
et divinitatem et sapientiam et              power, and riches, and wisdom, and
fortitudinem et honorem et gloriam et        strength, and honour, and glory, and
benedictionem                                blessing.

5:13  et omnem creaturam quae in caelo       13.  And every creature which is in
est et super terram et sub terram et         heaven, and on the earth, and under the
quae sunt in mari et quae in ea omnes        earth, and such as are in the sea, and
audivi dicentes sedenti in throno et         all that are in them, heard I saying,
agno benedictio et honor et gloria et        Blessing, and honour, and glory, and
potestas in saecula saeculorum               power, be unto him that sitteth upon
                                             the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever
                                             and ever.

5:14  et quattuor animalia dicebant          14.  And the four beasts said, Amen.
amen et seniores ceciderunt et               And the four and twenty elders fell
adoraverunt                                  down and worshipped him that liveth for
                                             ever and ever.
