Otkrivenje 4

Prijestolje u nebu

1 Zatim ugledam otvorena vrata u nebo, a onaj isti glas koji sam prije čuo, snažan poput glasa trublje, reče mi: "Uziđi ovamo pa ću ti pokazati što će se poslije dogoditi!"2 Odmah sam se našao u duhu i ugledao prijestolje u nebu. Na njemu je sjedio Netko.3 Blistao je poput dragoga kamenja: jaspisa i sarda. A prijestolje je okruživala duga slična smaragdu.4 Oko njega su se nalazila još dvadeset četiri prijestolja na kojima su sjedili dvadeset četiri starješine, obučeni u bijele haljine i sa zlatnim vijencima na glavi.5 Od prijestolja su sijevale munje, čula se grmljavina i gromovi. Ispred njega stajalo je sedam svijećnjaka, sedam upaljenih zublji, sedam Božjih duhova.

6 Ispred prijestolja bilo je stakleno more, blistavo poput prozirca.
U sredini prijestolja i oko njega bila su četiri bića puna očiju sprijeda i straga.7 Prvo je bilo slično lavu, drugo juncu, treće je imalo čovječje lice, a četvrto je bilo poput orla u letu.

8 Sva su imala po šest krila iznutra i izvana prepuna očiju. Danju i noću ta bića neprestano govore:
"Svet, svet, svet je Gospodin Bog Svemogući,
koji je oduvijek bio, koji jest i koji će doći!"9 Svaki put kad ta bića daju slavu, čast i zahvalu Onomu koji sjedi na prijestolju, Živome uvijeke,

10 dvadeset četiri starješine padnu ničice pred Onim na prijestolju, koji je Živ uvijeke, i poklone mu se te polože svoje vijence pred prijestolje govoreći:
11 "Dostojan si, Gospodine Bože,
Primiti slavu, čast i moć!
Jer ti si sve stvorio.
Sve je postalo tvojom voljom.
Sve je stvoreno tvojom voljom."

Revelation 4

The Amazing Scene in Heaven

1 After these things I looked, and there wast a door standing open in heaven!t And the first voice I had heard speaking to met like a trumpets said: “Come up here so thatt I can show you what must happen after these things.”2 Immediately I was in the Spirit,t andt a throne was standingt in heaven with someone seated on it!3 And the one seated on it was like jasperts and carnelians in appearance, and a rainbow looking like it was made of emeraldt encircled the throne.4 Int a circle around the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on those thrones were twenty-four elders. They weret dressed in white clothing and had golden crownss on their heads.5 Fromt the throne came out flashes of lightning and roaringt and crashes of thunder. Seven flaming torches, which are the seven spirits of God,s were burning in front of the throne

6 and in front of the throne was something like a sea of glass, like crystal.t
Int the middle of the thronet and around the throne were four living creaturest full of eyes in front and in back.7 Thet first living creature was like a lion, thet second creature like an ox, the third creature had a face like a man’s, and the fourth creature looked like an eagle flying.

8 Each one of the four living creatures had six wingst and was full of eyes all around and inside.t They never rest day or night, saying:t
“Holy Holy Holy is the Lord God, the All-Powerful,ts
Who was and who is, and who is still to come!”
9 And whenever the living creatures give glory, honor,t and thanks to the one who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever,

10 the twenty-four elders throw themselves to the groundt before the one who sits on the throne and worship the one who lives forever and ever, and they offer their crownss before hist throne, saying:

11 “You are worthy, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
since you created all things,
and because of your will they existed and were created!”s
