Di Scroll Wey Dem Seal
Scroll wey dem seal wey nobody worthy to open, and John cry well-well because of am. Then one Lamb wey look like sey dem don kill am collect am from im Papa hand. Di new song na about buying: people wey dem buy for our Papa from every language, wey dem make priest and king.
5 1I see one scroll for di right hand of di one wey siddon for di throne, dem write for di two sides, and dem seal am with seven seal. 2I see one powerful angel wey dey shout loud say, “Who worthy to open di scroll and break im seal dem?” 3And nobody for heaven, for ground, or under di ground fit open di scroll or look inside am. 4I cry well well, because dem no find anybody wey worthy to open di scroll or look inside am. 5Den one of di elder dem tell me say, “No cry again. See—di Lion of di tribe of Judah, di Root of David—Jesus—don win, so e fit open di scroll and im seven seal dem.” a a v5 Lion of Judah come from Jacob im blessing (Genesis 49:9-10); Root of David come from Isaiah im prophecy (Isaiah 11:1, 10). Di two title dem dey point to Jesus, wey don win and wey worthy to open di scroll.
6And for between di throne and di four living creature dem, and among di elder dem, I see Jesus, di Lamb, wey stand as if say dem don kill am, wey get seven horn and seven eye, wey be di sevenfold Spirit of our Papa wey dem send go di whole earth. b b v6 Di Lamb na Jesus — dem kill am but e still dey stand. E different from our Papa wey siddon for di throne: for di next verse, di Lamb collect di scroll from di Papa im right hand. 7E come and collect di scroll from di right hand of di one wey siddon for di throne. c c v7 Di Lamb collect di scroll from di right hand of di one wey dey for di throne — Papa and Pikin na two different Person of di one God. Di Lamb come to collect from di throne-one im hand; di Lamb no fit be di throne-one imsef. 8As e collect di scroll, di four living creature dem and di twenty-four elder dem fall down for front of di Lamb, everyone get harp and gold bowl wey full with incense—wey be di prayer of our Papa im holy people. 9And dem sing new song say: “You worthy to collect di scroll and break im seal dem open, because dem kill you, and with your blood you buy people for our Papa from every tribe and language and people and nation, 10and you don make dem kingdom and priest for our Papa, and dem go rule for di earth.”
11I look, and I hear around di throne, di living creature dem, and di elder dem, di voice of plenty angel—myriad upon myriad, thousands upon thousands, 12wey dey talk with loud voice say: “Di Lamb wey dem kill worthy to collect power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!”
13And every creature for heaven and for ground and under di ground and for di sea, and everything wey dey inside dem, I hear dem dey talk say: “To di one wey siddon for di throne and to di Lamb, make blessing and honor and glory and might dey for ever and ever!”
14And di four living creature dem talk say, “Amen!” and di elder dem fall down and worship.
