Otkrivenje 4
1 Nakon toga vidjeh: gle, vrata otvorena na nebu! A onaj prijašnji glas, što ga ono začuh kao glas trublje što govoraše sa mnom, reče: “Uziđi ovamo i pokazat ću ti što se ima dogoditi nakon ovoga!”
After this I looked and saw a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had previously heard speak to me like a trumpet was saying, “Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after these things.”
2 I odmah se u duhu zanijeh kad gle: prijestolje stajaše na nebu i na prijestolje Netko sjede.
At once I was in the Spirit, and I saw a throne standing in heaven, with someone seated on it.
3 Taj što sjede bijaše nalik na jaspis i sard. A uokolo prijestolja duga slična smaragdu.
The One seated there looked like jasper and carnelian, and a rainbow that gleamed like an emerald encircled the throne.
4 Uokolo prijestolja dvadeset i četiri prijestolja, a na prijestolja sjedoše dvadeset i četiri starješine, obučene u bijele haljine, sa zlatnim vijencima na glavi.
Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and on these thrones sat twenty-four elders dressed in white, with golden crowns on their heads.
5 Od prijestolja izlaze munje, i glasovi, i gromovi; pred prijestoljem gori sedam ognjenih zubalja, to jest sedam duhova Božjih,
From the throne came flashes of lightning, and rumblings, and peals of thunder. Before the throne burned seven torches of fire. These are the seven Spirits of God.
6 a pred prijestoljem kao neko stakleno more, nalik na prozirac. U sredini prijestolja, oko prijestolja, četiri bića, sprijeda i straga puna očiju:
And before the throne was something like a sea of glass, as clear as crystal. In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, covered with eyes in front and back.
7 prvo biće slično lavu, drugo biće slično juncu, treće biće s licem kao čovječjim, četvrto biće slično letećem orlu.
The first living creature was like a lion, the second like a calf, the third had a face like a man, and the fourth was like an eagle in flight.
8 Ta su četiri bića - u svakoga po šest krila - sve naokolo i iznutra puna očiju. Bez predaha dan i noć govore: “Svet! Svet! Svet Gospodin, Bog Svevladar, Onaj koji bijaše i koji jest i koji dolazi!”
And each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around and within. Day and night they never stop saying: “Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!”
9 I kad god bića dadu slavu i čast pohvalnicu Onomu koji sjedi na prijestolju, Živomu u vijeke vjekova, (aiōn g165)
And whenever the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to the One seated on the throne who lives forever and ever, (aiōn g165)
10 dvadeset i četiri starješine padnu ničice pred Onim koji sjedi na prijestolju i poklone se njemu - Živomu u vijeke vjekova. I stavljaju svoje vijence pred prijestolje govoreći: (aiōn g165)
the twenty-four elders fall down before the One seated on the throne, and they worship Him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying: (aiōn g165)
11 “Dostojan si, Gospodine, Bože naš, primiti slavu i čast i moć! Jer ti si sve stvorio, i tvojom voljom sve postade i bi stvoreno!”
“Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things; by Your will they exist and came to be.”
