< Revelation 4 >
1 After these things I looked and saw a door opened in heaven, and the first voice that I heard, like a trumpet speaking with me, was one saying, "Come up here, and I will show you the things which must happen after this."
Potem sem pogledal in glej, vrata na nebu so bila odprta in prvi glas, ki sem ga zaslišal, je bil, kakor bi bil od trobente, govoreče z menoj, ki je rekel: »Pridi sèm gor in pokazal ti bom stvari, ki morajo biti odslej.«
2 Immediately I was in the Ruach; and look, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting on the throne.
In takoj sem bil v duhu in glej, prestol je bil postavljen v nebesih in nekdo je sedel na prestolu.
3 And the one who sat there looked like a jasper stone and a sardius. There was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald to look at.
In tisti, ki je sedel, je bil videti podoben kamnu jaspisu in sardiju in naokoli prestola je bila mavrica, na pogled podobna smaragdu.
4 Around the throne were twenty-four thrones. On the thrones were twenty-four elders sitting, dressed in white garments, with crowns of gold on their heads.
In naokoli prestola je bilo štiriindvajset prestolov in na prestolih sem videl sedeti štiriindvajset starešin, oblečenih v bela oblačila in na svojih glavah so imeli zlate krone.
5 And from the throne came flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder. And there were seven torches of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Ruachs of God.
In pred prestolom so izvirali bliski in grmenja ter glasovi; in pred prestolom je bilo sedem gorečih ognjenih svetilk, ki so sedem Božjih Duhov.
6 Before the throne was something like a sea of glass, similar to crystal. In the midst of the throne, and around the throne were four living creatures full of eyes before and behind.
In pred prestolom je bilo stekleno morje, podobno kristalu; in v sredini prestola in naokoli prestola so bile štiri živali, spredaj in zadaj polne oči.
7 The first living creature was like a lion, and the second living creature like a calf, and the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle.
In prva žival je bila podobna levu in druga žival podobna teletu in tretja žival je imela obraz kakor človek, četrta žival pa je bila podobna letečemu orlu.
8 The four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within. They have no rest day and night, saying, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come."
In štiri živali so imele vsaka izmed njih okoli sebe po šest peruti in znotraj so bile polne oči; in niso počivale dan in noč, rekoč: »Svet, svet, svet, Gospod Bog Vsemogočni, ki je bil in je in ki pride.«
9 And when the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne, to him who lives forever and ever, (aiōn )
In ko so te živali dale slavo in čast in zahvalo njemu, ki je sedel na prestolu, ki živi na veke vekov, (aiōn )
10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne, and worship him who lives forever and ever, and throw their crowns before the throne, saying, (aiōn )
je štiriindvajset starešin padlo dol pred njim, ki je sedel na prestolu in oboževalo njega, ki živi na veke vekov in svoje krone vrglo pred prestol, rekoč: (aiōn )
11 "Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive the glory, the honor, and the power, for you created all things, and because of your desire they existed, and were created."
»Vreden si, oh Gospod, da prejmeš slavo in čast ter moč, kajti ustvaril si vse stvari in zaradi tvojega zadovoljstva so in so bile ustvarjene.«
