\subsection{Revelation 4}
|
|
\VS{1} After these [things] I looked and behold [a] door [was] opened in heaven, and the first
|
|
voice which I heard [was] as [a] trumpet speaking with me, saying: Come up here,
|
|
and I will show you what must come to pass after these [things].
|
|
\VS{2} Straightway
|
|
I came to be in [the] spirit, and behold [a] throne was set in heaven, and [one] having
|
|
sat upon [the] throne,
|
|
\VS{3} and the [one] having sat [was] like in appearance to [a]
|
|
jasper and [a] carnelian\footnote{or ``sardius''} stone, and [a] rainbow [was] around
|
|
the throne like in appearance to [an] emerald,
|
|
\VS{4} and around the throne
|
|
[were] twenty four thrones, and upon the thrones [were] twenty four elders sitting
|
|
clothed in white garments, and upon their heads [were] golden crowns.
|
|
\VS{5} And
|
|
from the throne proceeded lightnings and voices and thunders, and [there were] seven
|
|
lamps of fire lit before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God.
|
|
\VS{6} And before the throne [there was a] glass\footnote{or ``transparent''} sea like
|
|
crystal, and the midst of the throne and around the throne [were] four living
|
|
[creatures] full of eyes in front and in back.
|
|
\VS{7} And the first living [creature was] like [a] lion,
|
|
and the second living [creature was] like [an] ox, and the third living [creature was] having the face as of
|
|
[a] man, and the fourth living creature [was] like [a] flying eagle.
|
|
\VS{8} And the
|
|
four living [creatures] had each of them six wings apiece, around [about], and they were full
|
|
of eyes within, and they do not have rest day and night saying:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
Holy holy holy Lord God almighty, \\
|
|
The [one who] was and [who] is and [who] comes.
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{9} And when the zoe-living\fnZoe{} [creatures] give glory and honor and thanks to the [one] having sat upon the throne [which] lives to the eternity of eternities,
|
|
\VS{10} the twenty four elders fall before the [one] having sat upon the throne, and they worship the [one] zoe-living\fnZoe{} to the eternity of eternities, and they throw their crowns before the throne saying:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
\VS{11} You are worthy, our Lord and God, \\
|
|
To receive glory and honor and ability, \\
|
|
For you created everything, \\
|
|
And through your will were they also created.
|
|
\end{verse}
