¹After these things I saw, and behold, a door opened in heaven, and the first voice that I heard, [a voice] as of a trumpet speaking with me, one saying, Come up hither, and I will show thee the things which must come to pass hereafter.

¹Potom som videl, a hľa, dvere boly otvorené na nebi, a ten prvý hlas, ktorý som počul ako trúbu, hovoriacu so mnou, vravel: Vystúp sem hore, a ukážem ti, čo sa musí stať potom.

²Straightway I was in the Spirit: and behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting upon the throne;

²A hneď som bol v duchu. A hľa, trón stál na nebi, a na tróne ktosi sediaci.

³and he that sat [was] to look upon like a jasper stone and a sardius: and [there was] a rainbow round about the throne, like an emerald to look upon.

³A ten, ktorý to sedel na tróne, bol na pohľad podobný kameňu jaspisu a sardisu, a dúha bola vôkol trónu, na pohľad podobná smaragdu.

⁴And round about the throne [were] four and twenty thrones: and upon the thrones [I saw] four and twenty elders sitting, arrayed in white garments; and on their heads crowns of gold.

⁴A okolo trónu stálo dvadsaťštyri trónov, a na trónoch som videl dvadsaťštyri starcov, sediacich, oblečených v bielych rúchach, a na svojich hlavách mali zlaté koruny.

⁵And out of the throne proceed lightnings and voices and thunders. And [there was] seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God;

⁵A z trónu vychádzaly blesky a hromy a hlasy a pred trónom horelo sedem ohnivých lampád, ktoré sú siedmi duchovia Boží,

⁶and before the throne, as it were a sea of glass like a crystal; and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, four living creatures full of eyes before and behind.

⁶a pred trónom bolo čosi jako sklené more, podobné kryštálu, a prostred trónu a vôkol trónu štyri živé bytosti, plné očí zpredu i zozadu.

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

⁷A prvá živá bytosť bola podobná ľvovi, druhá živá bytosť podobná teľaťu, tretia živá bytosť mala tvár ako človek, a štvrtá živá bytosť bola podobná letiacemu orlovi.

⁸and the four living creatures, having each one of them six wings, are full of eyes round about and within: and they have no rest day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, [is] the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come.

⁸A štyri živé bytosti, jedna každá z nich, maly po šiestich krýdlach okolo, a zvnútra boly plné očí. A nemajú odpočinku ani vodne ani vnoci a hovoria: Svätý, svätý, svätý Pán Bôh všemohúci, ktorý bol, ktorý je a ktorý prijde.

⁹And when the living creatures shall give glory and honor and thanks to him that sitteth on the throne, to him that liveth for ever and ever,

⁹A keď dajú živé bytosti sediacemu na tróne, živému na veky vekov, slávu a česť a vďaku,

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

¹⁰padnú dvadsiati štyria starci pred sediacim na tróne a budú sa klaňať živému na veky vekov a hodia svoje koruny pred trónom hovoriac:

¹¹Worthy art thou, our Lord and our God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power: for thou didst create all things, and because of thy will they were, and were created.

¹¹Hoden si, Pane a náš Bože, vziať slávu a česť a moc, lebo ty si stvoril všetky veci, a pre tvoju vôľu sú a boly stvorené.
