Revelation 4
1 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 here, and I will show you things which must be hereafter.
Derefter saa jeg, og se, der var en Dør aabnet i Himmelen, og den første Røst, hvilken jeg havde hørt som af en Basun, der talte med mig, sagde: Stig herop, og jeg vil vise dig, hvad der skal ske herefter.
2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
Straks henryktes jeg i Aanden; og se, en Trone stod i Himmelen, og en sad paa Tronen,
3 And he that sat was to look on like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like to an emerald.
og den siddende var at se til ligesom Jaspissten og Sarder, og der var en Regnbue omkring Tronen, at se til ligesom Smaragd.
4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and on the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
Og omkring Tronen var der fire og tyve Troner, og paa Tronerne sad der fire og tyve Ældste, iførte hvide Klæder og med Guldkranse paa deres Hoveder.
5 And out of the throne proceeded lightning and thunder and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
Og fra Tronen udgaar der Lyn og Røster pg Tordener, og syv Ildfakler brænde foran Tronen, hvilke ere de syv Guds Aander.
6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like to crystal: and in the middle of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
Og foran Tronen er der som et Glarhav, ligesom Krystal, og midt for Tronen og rundt om Tronen fire levende Væsener, fulde af Øjne fortil og bagtil.
7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.
Og det første Væsen ligner en Løve; og det andet Væsen ligner en Okse; og det tredje Væsen har Ansigt som et Menneske; og det fjerde Væsen ligner en flyvende Ørn.
8 And the four beasts 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, which was, and is, and is to come.
Og de fire Væsener have hvert især seks Vinger, rundt om og indadtil ere de fulde af Øjne; og uden Ophør sige de Dag og Nat: Hellig, hellig, hellig er Herren, Gud, den almægtige, han, som var, og som er, og som kommer!
9 And when those beasts give glory and honor and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who lives for ever and ever, (aiōn g165)
Og naar Væsenerne give Ære og Pris og Tak til ham, som sidder paa Tronen, ham, som lever i Evighedernes Evigheder, (aiōn g165)
10 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that lives for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, (aiōn g165)
da falde de fire og tyve Ældste ned for ham, som sidder paa Tronen, og tilbede ham, som lever i Evighedernes Evigheder, og lægge deres Kranse ned for Tronen og sige: (aiōn g165)
11 You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for you have created all things, and for your pleasure they are and were created.
Værdig er du, vor Herre og Gud, til at faa Prisen og Æren og Magten; thi du har skabt alle Ting, og paa Grund af din Villie vare de, og bleve de skabte.
