¹After these things I saw, and lo, a door opened in the heaven, and the first voice that I heard [is] as of a trumpet speaking with me, saying, `Come up hither, and I will shew thee what it behoveth to come to pass after these things;`

¹ከዚያ በኋላም አየሁ፥ እነሆም በሰማይ የተከፈተ ደጅ፥ እንደ መለከትም ሆኖ ሲናገረኝ የሰማሁት ፊተኛው ድምፅ። ወደዚህ ውጣና ከዚህ በኋላ ሊሆን የሚያስፈልገውን ነገር አሳይሃለሁ አለ።

²and immediately I was in the Spirit, and lo, a throne was set in the heaven, and upon the throne is [one] sitting,

²ወዲያው በመንፈስ ነበርሁ፤ እነሆም፥ ዙፋን በሰማይ ቆሞአል በዙፋኑም ላይ ተቀማጭ ነበረ፤

³and He who is sitting was in sight like a stone, jasper and sardine: and a rainbow was round the throne in sight like an emerald.

³ተቀምጦም የነበረው በመልኩ የኢያስጲድንና የሰርዲኖን ዕንቍ ይመስል ነበር። በመልኩም መረግድን የመሰለ ቀስተ ደመና በዙፋኑ ዙሪያ ነበረ።

⁴And around the throne [are] thrones twenty and four, and upon the thrones I saw the twenty and four elders sitting, clothed in white garments, and they had upon their heads crowns of gold;

⁴በዙፋኑ ዙሪያም ሀያ አራት ዙፋኖች ነበሩ፥ በዙፋኖቹም ላይ ነጭ ልብስ ለብሰው በራሳቸውም የወርቅ አክሊል ደፍተው ሀያ አራት ሽማግሌዎች ተቀምጠው ነበር።

⁵and out of the throne proceed do lightnings, and thunders, and voices; and seven lamps of fire are burning before the throne, which are the Seven Spirits of God,

⁵ከዙፋኑም መብረቅና ድምፅ ነጐድጓድም ይወጣል፤ በዙፋኑም ፊት ሰባት የእሳት መብራቶች ይበሩ ነበር፥ እነርሱም ሰባቱ የእግዚአብሔር መናፍስት ናቸው።

⁶and before the throne [is] a sea of glass like to crystal, and in the midst of the throne, and round the throne, [are] four living creatures, full of eyes before and behind;

⁶በዙፋኑም ፊት ብርሌ የሚመስል የብርጭቆ ባሕር ነበረ። በዙፋኑም መካከል በዙፋኑም ዙሪያ፥ በፊትና በኋላ ዓይኖች የሞሉአቸው አራት እንስሶች ነበሩ።

⁷and the first living creature [is] like a lion, and the second living creature [is] like a calf, and the third living creature hath the face as a man, and the fourth living creature [is] like an eagle flying.

⁷ፊተኛውም እንስሳ አንበሳን ይመስላል፥ ሁለተኛውም እንስሳ ጥጃን ይመስላል፥ ሦስተኛውም እንስሳ እንደ ሰው ፊት ነበረው፥ አራተኛውም እንስሳ የሚበረውን ንስር ይመስላል።

⁸And the four living creatures, each by itself severally, had six wings, around and within [are] full of eyes, and rest they have not day and night, saying, `Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was, and who is, and who is coming;`

⁸አራቱም እንስሶች እያንዳንዳቸው ስድስት ክንፎች አሉአቸው፥ በዙሪያቸውና በውስጣቸውም ዓይኖች ሞልተውባቸዋል፤ ቅዱስ፥ ቅዱስ፥ ቅዱስ፥ የነበረውና ያለ የሚመጣውም ሁሉንም የሚገዛ ጌታ አምላክ እያሉ ቀንና ሌሊት አያርፉም።

⁹and when the living creatures do give glory, and honour, and thanks, to Him who is sitting upon the throne, who is living to the ages of the ages,

⁹እንስሶቹም በዙፋን ላይ ለተቀመጠው ከዘላለምም እስከ ዘላለም በሕይወት ለሚኖረው ለእርሱ ክብርና ውዳሴ ምስጋናም በሰጡት ጊዜ፥

¹⁰fall down do the twenty and four elders before Him who is sitting upon the throne, and bow before Him who is living to the ages of the ages, and they cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

¹⁰ሀያ አራቱ ሽማግሌዎች በዙፋን ላይ በተቀመጠው ፊት ወድቀው፥ ከዘላለም እስከ ዘላለም በሕይወት ለሚኖረው እየሰገዱ። ጌታችንና አምላካችን ሆይ፥ አንተ ሁሉን ፈጥረሃልና ስለ ፈቃድህም ሆነዋልና ተፈጥረውማልና ክብር ውዳሴ ኃይልም ልትቀበል ይገባሃል እያሉ በዙፋኑ ፊት አክሊላቸውን ያኖራሉ።

¹¹`Worthy art Thou, O Lord, to receive the glory, and the honour, and the power, because Thou — Thou didst create the all things, and because of Thy will are they, and they were created.`
