¹After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

¹Potem sem videl, in glej: duri odprte na nebu, in prvi glas, ki sem ga slišal kakor glas trombe govoriti z menoj, je dejal: Stopi sem gori, in pokažem ti, kaj se ima zgoditi potem.

²And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

²Precej sem bil v Duhu; in glej: prestol je postavljen v nebesih

³And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

³in na prestolu sedi eden; in sedeči je videti podoben kamenu jaspidu in sardu, in mavrica okrog prestola je videti podobna smaragdu.

⁴And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

⁴In okrog prestola štiriindvajset prestolov, in na prestolih vidim štiriindvajsetero starejšin sedečih, oblečenih v bela oblačila, in na njih glavah vence zlate.

⁵And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

⁵In iz prestola izhajajo bliski in glasovi in gromi; in sedem bakel ognjenih gorí pred prestolom, katere so sedmeri Duhovi Božji.

⁶And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.

⁶In pred prestolom je kakor morje stekleno, podobno kristalu, in sredi prestola in okrog prestola štiri živali [Ali: živa bitja.], polne očes spredaj in zadaj.

⁷And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.

⁷In prva žival je podobna levu, in druga žival podobna teletu, in tretja žival ima obličje kakor človek, in četrta žival podobna orlu letečemu.

⁸And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, LORD God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.

⁸In četvere živali, vsaka zase, imajo po šest peruti in so naokolo in znotraj polne očes; in pokoja nimajo noč in dan, govoreč: Svet, svet, svet, Gospod Bog, Vsegamogočni, ki je bil in ki je in ki prihaja!

⁹And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,

⁹In kadar bodo dale živali slavo in čast in hvalo sedečemu na prestolu, živečemu na vekov veke,

¹⁰The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

¹⁰bodo padli štiriindvajseteri starejšine pred njega, ki sedi na prestolu, in ga molili, ki živi na vekov veke, in bodo metali vence svoje pred prestol, govoreč:Vreden si, Gospod in Bog naš, prejemati slavo in čast in moč, zakaj ti si ustvaril vse, in zaradi volje tvoje je bilo vse in je bilo ustvarjeno.

¹¹Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

¹¹Vreden si, Gospod in Bog naš, prejemati slavo in čast in moč, zakaj ti si ustvaril vse, in zaradi volje tvoje je bilo vse in je bilo ustvarjeno.
