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

¹After these things I looked and saw a door opened in heaven, and the first voice that I heard, like a trumpet speaking with me, was one saying, “Come up here, and I will show you the things which must happen after this.”

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

²Immediately I was in the Spirit. Behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting on the throne

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

³that looked like a jasper stone and a sardius. There was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald to look at.

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

⁴Around the throne were twenty-four thrones. On the thrones were twenty-four elders sitting, dressed in white garments, with crowns of gold on their heads.

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

⁵Out of the throne proceed lightnings, sounds, and thunders. There were seven lamps of fire burning before his throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

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

⁶Before the throne was something like a sea of glass, similar to crystal. In the midst of the throne, and around the throne were four living creatures full of eyes before and behind.

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

⁷The first creature was like a lion, and the second creature like a calf, and the third creature had a face like a man, and the fourth was like a flying eagle.

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

⁸The four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within. They have no rest day and night, saying, “Holy, holy, holy Hodges/Farstad MT reads “holy” 9 times instead of 3. is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come!”

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

⁹When the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to him who sits on the throne, to him who lives forever and ever,

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።

¹⁰the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne, and worship him who lives forever and ever, and throw their crowns before the throne, saying,

¹¹“Worthy are you, our Lord and God, the Holy One, TR omits “and God, the Holy One,” to receive the glory, the honor, and the power, for you created all things, and because of your desire they existed, and were created!”
