< 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 behold, a door [was] opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard, [was] as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will show thee things which must be hereafter.
2 I odmah se u duhu zanijeh kad gle: prijestolje stajaše na nebu i na prijestolje Netko sjede.
And immediately I was in the spirit: and behold, a throne was set in heaven, and [one] sat on the throne.
3 Taj što sjede bijaše nalik na jaspis i sard. A uokolo prijestolja duga slična smaragdu.
And he that sat was in appearance like a jasper and a sardine stone: and [there was] a rainbow around the throne in sight like an emerald.
4 Uokolo prijestolja dvadeset i četiri prijestolja, a na prijestolja sjedoše dvadeset i četiri starješine, obučene u bijele haljine, sa zlatnim vijencima na glavi.
And around the throne [were] four and twenty seats; and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
5 Od prijestolja izlaze munje, i glasovi, i gromovi; pred prijestoljem gori sedam ognjenih zubalja, to jest sedam duhova Božjih,
And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices. And [there were] seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which 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 [there was] a sea of glass like crystal: And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, [were] four living beings full of eyes before and behind.
7 prvo biće slično lavu, drugo biće slično juncu, treće biće s licem kao čovječjim, četvrto biće slično letećem orlu.
And the first living being [was] like a lion, and the second living being like a calf, and the third living being had a face as a man, and the fourth living being [was] like a flying eagle.
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 the four living beings had each of them six wings about [him]; and [they were] full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, 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 )
And when those living beings give glory, and honor, and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, (aiōn )
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 )
The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, (aiōn )
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!”
Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, and honor, and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
