Apokalypsy 4
1 Ie añe, le nañente, vaho naheoko ty lalañe nisokake andindìñe ey, vaho nanao ty hoe amako i fiarañanañañe hoe antsiva tsinanoko am-baloha’e nitsara amakoy: Mañambonea mb’etoa, hitoroako ze tsy mahay tsy ho avy henane zao.
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.”
2 Nitojo amako t’ie añ’arofo, naho inge te nijadoñe an-dikerañe ey ty fiambesatse, vaho eo t’i niambesatse amy fiambesatsey.
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].
3 Hoe vato jaspy naho karneola5 i niambesatsey naho niarikatoke i fiambesatsey ty àvañe hoe emarode6 te isaheñe.
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].
4 Niariseho i fiambesatsey ty fiambesam-pifeheañe roapolo efats’amby naho amy fiambesatse rey ty androanavy roapolo efats’ amby misaroñe lamba foty, le añambone’ iareo eo songa an-tsabaka volamena.
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.
5 Niboak’ amy fiambesatsey ty helatse nitsipelatse naho fikorokodoiñañe naho fiparapapiahan-kotroke; vaho nirebareba añatrefa’ i fiambesatsey eo ty jiro fito, i tio-fiton’Añaharey.
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).
6 Añatrefa’ i fiambesatsey eo ty riake fitaratse, hoe kristaly, naho añivo eo vaho mañohoke i fiambesatsey ty raha veloñe efatse atse-pihaino aolo’e naho amboho’e.
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.
7 Manahake ty liona i raha veloñe valoha’ey, le manahake ty bania ty raha veloñe faha-roe le hoe amam-binta’ ondaty i raha veloñe faha-teloy vaho hoe vantio mitiliñe i raha veloñe fah’efatsey.
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.
8 Songa aman’ elatse eneñe i raha veloñe efatse rey, atse-pihaino añ’ariseho aze naho añate’e ao, ie tsy mitroatse handro an-kaleñe manao ty hoe: Masiñe, masiñe, masiñe t’i Talè Andrianañahare Tsitongerèñey, i teo, naho eo, vaho ho aviy.
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.
9 Ndra mbia’ mbia te mandrenge naho miasy vaho mañandriañe i miambesatse amy fiambesatseiy—i veloñe nainai’e doniay—i raha veloñe rey, (aiōn g165)
The living [creatures praise], honor [DOU], and thank the one who sits on the throne, the one who lives forever. (aiōn g165)
10 le mibabok’ añatrefa’ i miambesatse amy fiambesatseiy i androanavy roapolo efats’ amby rey mitalaho amy veloñe nainai’e doniay, vaho mañifike o sabakam-bolonahe’ iareoo añatrefa’ i fiambesam-bolonahetsey, manao ty hoe: (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
11 Mañeva irehe, ry Talè, ty handrambe engeñe, naho hasiñe, naho haozarañe, amy te Ihe ro namboatse ze halifora’e, naho an-tsatri’o ty maha-eo iareo vaho t’ie namboareñe.
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.
