< Revelation 4 >
1 After these things I, [John], saw [in the vision that] there was a door open in heaven. The one whose voice was like [SIM] a [loud] trumpet, the one [who had spoken to me] previously, said [to me], “Come up here! I will show you events that must happen later.”
Depois destas coisas eu olhei, e eis que uma porta estava aberta no céu; e a primeira voz que eu ouvi, como uma trombeta ao falar comigo, disse: “Sobe aqui, e eu te mostrarei as coisas que devem acontecer depois destas.”
2 Immediately I experienced that [God’s] Spirit [was specially controlling me]. There was a throne there in heaven, and on the throne someone was sitting [and ruling].
E logo eu fui [arrebatado] em espírito; e eis que um trono estava posto no céu, e [alguém] sentado sobre o trono.
3 He [shone] like [SIM] a [brilliant crystalline] jasper [jewel] and like a [brilliant red] carnelian [jewel]. Around the throne was a rainbow that [shone like a brilliant green] emerald [jewel].
E o que estava sentado era de aparência semelhante à pedra jaspe e sárdio; e o arco colorido celeste estava ao redor do trono, de aparência semelhante à esmeralda.
4 Around the throne there were 24 other thrones. On these thrones 24 elders were [sitting]. They were wearing [pure] white garments and had golden crowns on their heads.
E ao redor do trono [havia] vinte e quatro tronos; e vi sobre os tronos vinte e quatro anciãos vestidos de roupas brancas; e sobre as cabeças deles tinham coroas de ouro.
5 From the throne there came lightning and rumblings and thundering. Seven torches of fire were burning in front of the throne. Those [represent] the Spirit of God, who has all kinds of [power] (OR, who is [also] symbolized as seven spirits).
E do trono saíam relâmpagos, e trovões, e vozes; e sete lâmpadas de fogo ardiam diante do trono, as quais são os sete espíritos de Deus.
6 In front of the throne [there was what looked] like an ocean [made of] glass. It was [clear], like crystal. On each of the four sides of the throne there was a living [creature]. Each one was covered with eyes in front and behind.
E diante do trono [havia] um mar de vidro, semelhante ao cristal, e no meio do trono, e ao redor do trono, quatro animais cheios de olhos, em frente e atrás.
7 The first living [creature] was like a lion. The second living [creature] was like an ox. The third living [creature] had a face like a man's face. The fourth living creature was like an eagle that was flying.
E o primeiro animal [era] semelhante a um leão, e o segundo animal semelhante a um bezerro, e o terceiro animal tinha o rosto como de homem, e o quarto animal [era] como uma águia voando.
8 Each of the four living [creatures] had six wings. They were covered with eyes, all around [their bodies] and under [their wings]. Day and night they continually [LIT] sing: Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty One. He is the one who has always existed, who exists now, and who will always exist.
E os quatro animais tinham cada um em si seis asas ao redor, e por dentro [eram] cheios de olhos; e não tem repouso de dia nem de noite, dizendo: “Santo, Santo, Santo [é] o Senhor Deus, o Todo-Poderoso, que era, e que é, e que virá.”
9 The living [creatures praise], honor [DOU], and thank the one who sits on the throne, the one who lives forever. (aiōn )
E quando os animais dão glória, honra, e agradecimento ao que estava sentado sobre o trono, ao que vive para todo o sempre; (aiōn )
10 Whenever they do that, the 24 elders (prostrate themselves/kneel down) before the one who sits on the throne, and they worship him, the one who lives forever. They lay their crowns in front of the throne and sing: (aiōn )
[Então] os vinte e quatro anciãos se prostram diante do que estava sentado sobre o trono, e adoram ao que vive para todo o sempre, e lançam suas coroas diante do trono, dizendo: (aiōn )
11 Our(exc) Lord and God, you are worthy that all beings praise you, you are worthy that all beings honor you, and you are worthy that all beings acknowledge that you are the powerful one, because you alone created all things. Moreover, because you planned that they should exist, you created them, and so they exist.
“Digno és tu, Senhor, de receberes glória, honra e poder; porque tu criaste todas as coisas, e por causa da tua vontade elas são e foram criadas!”
