After these things I looked, and behold, a door opened in heaven, and the first voice that I heard like a trumpet, speaking with me, saying, Come up here, and I will show thee what must happen after these things.
2 Nʼotu oge ahụ, e mere ka m nọọ nʼime mmụọ, ma lee, ahụrụ m onwe m nʼeluigwe, hụkwa ka e debere otu ocheeze nke otu onye na-anọkwasị nʼelu ya.
And straightaway I became in spirit. And behold, a throne was set in heaven, and him sitting upon the throne

similar in appearance to a jasper and a sardius stone. And a rainbow was around the throne, like an emerald in appearance.

And around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and upon the thrones were sitting twenty-four elders clothed in white garments, and golden crowns upon their heads.
5 Mgbe ahụ, ụda dịka ụda egbe eluigwe, ya na amụma na-egbuke sitere nʼocheeze ukwu ahụ na-ada na-achapụtakwa. Nʼihu ocheeze ukwu ahụ, e nwere oriọna asaa na-enwu ọkụ. Oriọna ndị a bụ mmụọ asaa nke Chineke.
And out of the throne proceeds lightnings and voices and thunders. And seven lamps of fire burned before his throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
6 Nʼihu ocheeze ahụ e nwere ihe dịka oke osimiri e ji enyo mee, nke na-enwu dịka kristal. Nʼetiti ihu ocheeze ahụ na gburugburu ya, e nwere anụ anọ dị ndụ nwere anya nʼakụkụ ahụ ha niile, ihu na azụ.
And before the throne was like a glassy sea similar to crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and all around the throne, were four living creatures containing eyes in front and back.
7 Nke mbụ nʼime anụ ndị ahụ dị ndụ nwere oyiyi dịka ọdụm. Nke abụọ dịka ehi. Nke atọ nwere ihu yiri nke mmadụ. Nke anọ dịka ugo gbasapụrụ nku ya na-efe efe.
And the first living creature was similar to a lion, and the second living creature was similar to a young bull, and the third living creature having a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was similar to a flying eagle.

And the four living creatures, one by one, each having six wings, are full of eyes around and inside. And they have no cessation day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord, the Almighty God, he was, and who is, and who is coming.
9 Mgbe ọbụla anụ ndị ahụ dị ndụ na-enye onye ahụ na-anọkwasị nʼelu ocheeze ahụ na-adị ndụ ruo mgbe niile ebighị ebi otuto na nsọpụrụ na ekele, (aiōn g165)
And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne, he who lives into the ages of the ages, (aiōn g165)

the twenty-four elders would fall down before him who sits on the throne, and would worship him who lives into the ages of the ages, and would cast their crowns before the throne, saying, (aiōn g165)
11 “Gị, Onyenwe anyị na Chineke anyị, kwesiri ịnara otuto, na nsọpụrụ, na ike. Nʼihi na gị onwe gị kere ihe niile, ọ bụkwa site nʼọchịchọ gị ka e ji kee ha, ma meekwa ka ha dịrị ndụ.”
Thou are worthy, our Lord and God, the Holy, to take the glory and the honor and the power, because thou created all things, and because by thy will they are, and were created.
