< 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.”
Після сього поглянув я, і ось, двері відчинені на небі, і перший голос, що я чув, якби (від) труби говорячої зо мною, сказав: зійди сюди, і покажу тобі, що має бути після сього.
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].
І зараз був я в дусї; і ось, престол стояв в небі, а, на престолі Сидячий;
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].
а Сидячий був подібний видом до каменя ясписового і сардинового; і веселка кругом престола, подібна видом як смарагд.
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.
А кругом престола двайцять і чотири престолів; а на престолах бачив я двайцять і чотири старцїв сидячих, з'одягнених у біді одежі; а на головах своїх мали золоті вінцї.
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).
А з того престола виходять блискавки, громи і голоси; і сїм сьвічників огняних горять перед престолом, а се сїм духів Божих:
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.
А перед престолом море шклянне, подібне до христалї. А в серединї престола, і кругом престола четверо животних, повні очей зпереду і ззаду.
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.
А перше животне подобне до лева, а друге животне подобне до теляти, а трете животне мало лице, як чоловік, а четверте животне подобне до летячого орла.
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.
А четверо животних мали, кожне з осібна, по шість крил в округ, а в серединї повно очей; і не мають вони впокою день і ніч, говорячи: Сьвят, сьвят, сьвят Господь Бог вседержитель, що був, і єсть, і прийде.
9 The living [creatures praise], honor [DOU], and thank the one who sits on the throne, the one who lives forever. (aiōn )
І, коли давали ті животні славу і честь, і подяку Сидячому на престолї, Живучому по вічні віки, (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 )
упали двайцять і чотири старцї перед Сидячим на престолі, і покланялись Живучому по вічні віки, і кидали вінцї свої перед престолом, говорячи: (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.
Достоєн єси. Господи, приняти славу і честь і силу; Ти бо створив єси усе, і волею Твоєю (усе) єсть, і створено.
