Revelation 4

1 After this, in my vision, I saw an open door in the heavens, and the first voice that I heard was like the blast of a trumpet speaking to me. It said – “Come up here and I will show you what must take place.”

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 after this I fell into a trance. There stood a throne in heaven, and on the throne was One seated.

In takoj sem bil v duhu in glej, prestol je bil postavljen v nebesih in nekdo je sedel na prestolu.

3 He who was seated on it was in appearance like a jasper and a sardius; and round the throne there was a rainbow of the colour of an emerald.

In tisti, ki je sedel, je bil videti podoben kamnu jaspisu in sardiju in naokoli prestola je bila mavrica, na pogled podobna smaragdu.

4 And round the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and on these I saw twenty-four elders sitting clothed in white robes; and on their heads they had crowns of gold.

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 Out from the throne come flashes of lightning, cries, and peals of thunder! There are seven torches burning in front of the throne, which are the seven spirits 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 and in front of the throne is what seemed to be a sea of glass, resembling crystal, while within the space before the throne and round the throne are four creatures full of eyes in front 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 creature is like a lion, the second creature like a calf, the third creature has a face like a man’s, and the fourth creature is like an eagle on the wing.

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 These four creatures have each of them six wings, and all round, and within, they are full of eyes; and day and night they never cease to say – “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord, our God, the Almighty, who was, and who is, and who will be.”

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, whenever these creatures give praise and honour and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, to him who lives for ever and ever, (aiōn g165)

In ko so te živali dale slavo in čast in zahvalo njemu, ki je sedel na prestolu, ki živi na veke vekov, (aiōn g165)

10 the twenty-four elders prostrate themselves before him who is seated on the throne, and worship him who lives for ever and ever, and throw down their crowns before the throne, saying – (aiōn g165)

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 g165)

11 “Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive all praise, and honour, and power, for you did create all things, and at your bidding they came into being 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.«
