Μετὰ ταῦτα εἶδον, καὶ ἰδοὺ θύρα ἠνεῳγμένη ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ, καὶ ἡ φωνὴ ἡ πρώτη ἣν ἤκουσα ὡς σάλπιγγος λαλούσης μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ (λέγων· *N(k)O*) ἀνάβα ὧδε, καὶ δείξω σοι ἃ δεῖ γενέσθαι μετὰ ταῦτα.

(καὶ *k*) εὐθέως ἐγενόμην ἐν πνεύματι καὶ ἰδοὺ θρόνος ἔκειτο ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ, καὶ ἐπὶ (τὸν θρόνον *N(k)O*) καθήμενος.

3 njalo ohleziyo wayebonakala efanana lelitshe ijaspi lesardiyusi, lomchilowamakhosikazi wawuzingelezele isihlalo sobukhosi ubonakala njenge-emeraldi.

καὶ ὁ καθήμενος (ἦν *k*) ὅμοιος ὁράσει λίθῳ ἰάσπιδι καὶ σαρδίῳ καὶ ἶρις κυκλόθεν τοῦ θρόνου (ὅμοιος ὁράσει *NK(o)*) (σμαραγδίνῳ. *N(k)O*)

καὶ κυκλόθεν τοῦ θρόνου (θρόνους *N(k)O*) εἴκοσι (καὶ *k*) τέσσαρες, καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς θρόνους (εἴδον *K*) (τοὺς *k*) εἴκοσι (καὶ *k*) τέσσαρας πρεσβυτέρους καθημένους, περιβεβλημένους ἐν ἱματίοις λευκοῖς, καὶ (ἔσχον *k*) ἐπὶ τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν στεφάνους χρυσοῦς.

5 Lesihlalweni sobukhosi kwaphuma imibane lemidumo lamazwi; lezibane zomlilo eziyisikhombisa zazibhebha phambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi, ezingomoya abayisikhombisa bakaNkulunkulu;

καὶ ἐκ τοῦ θρόνου ἐκπορεύονται ἀστραπαὶ καὶ φωναὶ καὶ βρονταί, καὶ ἑπτὰ λαμπάδες πυρὸς καιόμεναι ἐνώπιον τοῦ θρόνου (αὐτοῦ *O*) (ἅ *N(k)O*) εἰσιν τὰ ἑπτὰ πνεύματα τοῦ θεοῦ,

6 laphambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi kwakukhona ulwandle lwengilazi, lufanana lekristali. Laphakathi kwesihlalo sobukhosi lekuzingelezeleni kwesihlalo sobukhosi kwakukhona izidalwa ezine eziphilayo zigcwele amehlo ngemuva laphambili.

καὶ ἐνώπιον τοῦ θρόνου (ὡς *NO*) θάλασσα ὑαλίνη, ὁμοία κρυστάλλῳ, καὶ ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ θρόνου καὶ κύκλῳ τοῦ θρόνου τέσσαρα ζῷα γέμοντα ὀφθαλμῶν ἔμπροσθεν καὶ ὄπισθεν.

καὶ τὸ ζῷον τὸ πρῶτον ὅμοιον λέοντι, καὶ τὸ δεύτερον ζῷον ὅμοιον μόσχῳ, καὶ τὸ τρίτον ζῷον (ἔχων *N(k)O*) τὸ πρόσωπον ὡς (ἀνθρώπου, *N(k)O*) καὶ τὸ τέταρτον ζῷον ὅμοιον ἀετῷ πετομένῳ.

καὶ τὰ τέσσαρα ζῷα, ἓν καθ᾽ (ἓν *n(o)*) (αὐτῶν *N(k)O*) (ἔχων *N(k)(o)*) ἀνὰ πτέρυγας ἕξ κυκλόθεν καὶ ἔσωθεν (γέμουσιν *N(k)O*) ὀφθαλμῶν καὶ ἀνάπαυσιν οὐκ ἔχουσιν ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτὸς (λέγοντες· *N(k)O*) ἅγιος ἅγιος ἅγιος κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὁ παντοκράτωρ, ὁ ἦν καὶ ὁ ὢν καὶ ὁ ἐρχόμενος.

9 Kuthi lapho izidalwa eziphilayo zimnika ubukhosi lodumo lokubongwa lowo ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi, ophilayo kuze kube nini lanini, (aiōn g165)

καὶ ὅταν (δώσουσιν *NK(o)*) τὰ ζῷα δόξαν καὶ τιμὴν καὶ εὐχαριστίαν τῷ καθημένῳ ἐπὶ (τῷ θρόνῳ, *N(k)O*) τῷ ζῶντι εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων, (aiōn g165)

10 abadala abangamatshumi amabili lane baziwisela phansi phambi kohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi, basebemkhonza ophilayo kuze kube nini lanini, bephosela imiqhele yabo phambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi, besithi: (aiōn g165)

πεσοῦνται οἱ εἴκοσι (καὶ *k*) τέσσαρες πρεσβύτεροι ἐνώπιον τοῦ καθημένου ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου καὶ (προσκυνήσουσιν *N(k)O*) τῷ ζῶντι εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων καὶ (βαλοῦσιν *N(k)O*) τοὺς στεφάνους αὐτῶν ἐνώπιον τοῦ θρόνου λέγοντες· (aiōn g165)

ἄξιος εἶ, ὁ κύριος (καὶ ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν, *NO*) (ὁ ἅγιος, *O*) λαβεῖν τὴν δόξαν καὶ τὴν τιμὴν καὶ τὴν δύναμιν. ὅτι σὺ ἔκτισας τὰ πάντα, καὶ διὰ τὸ θέλημά σου (ἦσαν *N(k)O*) καὶ ἐκτίσθησαν.
