< Revelasyon 4 >
1 Apre bagay sa yo, mwen te gade, e vwala, yon pòt ki louvri nan syèl la. Premye vwa m te tande a te tankou son yon twonpèt k ap pale avè m, ki t ap di: “Monte isit la, e mwen va montre ou sa ki dwe rive apre bagay sa yo.”
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.”
2 La menm, mwen te nan Lespri a. Epi gade byen, yon twòn te kanpe nan syèl la, e yon moun te chita sou twòn nan.
Immediately after this I fell into a trance. There stood a throne in heaven, and on the throne was One seated.
3 Epi Sila ki te chita a te gen aparans yon pyè jasp ak yon sadwàn. Konsa, te gen yon lakansyèl ozanviwon de twòn lan, ak aparans yon emwòd.
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.
4 Ozanviwon de twòn lan se te venn-kat twòn: epi ozanviwon de twòn yo, mwen te wè venn-kat ansyen yo chita, abiye an vètman blan, e kouwòn an lò sou tèt yo.
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.
5 Sòti nan twòn nan se te gwo kout ekleraj, gwo son loraj, ak gwo kout tonnè. Konsa, te gen sèt lanp dife ki t ap brile devan twòn nan, ki se sèt Lespri Bondye yo.
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;
6 Epi devan twòn nan, te gen yon bagay tankou yon lanmè glas kristal. Nan mitan e ozanviwon de twòn lan, kat kreyati vivan ranpli avèk zye pa devan kou pa dèyè.
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.
7 Premye kreyati a te tankou yon lyon, dezyèm kreyati a te tankou yon ti towo bèf, twazyèm kreyati a te gen yon figi tankou yon moun, e katriyèm kreyati a te tankou yon èg k ap vole anlè.
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.
8 Epi kat kreyati vivan yo, yo chak avèk sis zèl, ranpli avèk zye toutotou e anndan. San repo, lajounen kon lannwit, yo pa t sispann di: “Sen, sen, sen, se Senyè a, Bondye a, Toupwisan an, ki te la, ki la, e ki va vini an.”
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.”
9 Lè kreyati vivan yo fin bay glwa, lonè ak remèsiman a Sila ki chita sou twòn lan, a Sila ki viv pou tout tan e pou tout tan an, (aiōn )
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 )
10 venn-kat ansyen yo tonbe devan Sila ki chita sou twòn lan pou adore Sila ki viv pou tout tan e pou tout tan an, e yo jete kouwòn yo devan twòn lan, pandan y ap di: (aiōn )
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 )
11 “Dign se Ou Menm, Senyè nou, e Bondye nou an, pou resevwa glwa, lonè ak pwisans; paske Ou te kreye tout bagay, e akoz volonte Ou, yo te egziste e te kreye.”
“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.”
