Revelation 4
1 After these things, I saw, and behold, a door was opened in heaven, and the voice that I heard speaking with me first was like a trumpet, saying: “Ascend to here, and I will reveal to you what must occur after these things.”
ⲁ̅ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲣⲟ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲏⲛ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲛⲥⲙⲏ ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲁⲗⲡⲓⲅⲝ ⲉⲥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲓ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲡⲉⲓⲙⲁ ⲧⲁⲧⲥⲁⲃⲟⲕ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ
2 And immediately I was in the Spirit. And behold, a throne had been placed in heaven, and there was One sitting upon the throne.
ⲃ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲁⲓϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲕⲏ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲁ ϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ϩⲓ ⲡⲉⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ
3 And the One who was sitting there was similar in appearance to a stone of jasper and sardius. And there was an iridescence surrounding the throne, in aspect similar to an emerald.
ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲧϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ϩⲓ ⲡⲉⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲑⲟⲣⲁⲥⲓⲥ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲛⲉ ⲛⲓⲁⲥⲡⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲥⲁⲣⲇⲓⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲕⲱⲧⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲟ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲁⲣⲇⲓⲟⲛ
4 And surrounding the throne were twenty-four smaller thrones. And upon the thrones, twenty-four elders were sitting, clothed entirely in white vestments, and on their heads were gold crowns.
ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲣⲉϫⲟⲩⲧⲁϥⲧⲉ ⲛⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲕⲱⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲣⲉϩⲉⲛⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ϩⲓ ⲡϫⲟⲩⲧⲁϥⲧⲉ ⲛⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲩϭⲟⲟⲗⲉ ⲛϩⲉⲛϩⲟⲓⲧⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲃϣ ⲉⲣⲉϩⲉⲛⲕⲗⲟⲙ ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲃ ϩⲓϫⲛ ⲛⲉⲩⲁⲡⲏⲩⲉ
5 And from the throne, lightnings and voices and thunders went forth. And there were seven burning lamps before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God.
ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲛϭⲓ ϩⲉⲛⲉⲃⲣⲏϭⲉ ⲙⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲥⲙⲏ ⲙⲛ ϩⲉⲛϩⲣⲟⲩⲃⲃⲁⲓ ⲉⲣⲉⲥⲁϣϥ ⲛⲗⲁⲙⲡⲁⲥ ⲛⲕⲱϩⲧ ⲙⲟⲩϩ ⲙⲡⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲉ ⲡⲥⲁϣϥ ⲙⲡⲛⲁ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
6 And in view of the throne, there was something that seemed like a sea of glass, similar to crystal. And in the middle of the throne, and all around the throne, there were four living creatures, full of eyes in front and in back.
ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲟⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ ⲛⲁⲃⲁϭⲏⲉⲓⲛ ⲉⲥⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲣⲩⲥⲧⲁⲗⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲙⲏⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲕⲱⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲛ ϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲍⲱⲟⲛ ⲉⲩⲙⲉϩ ⲛⲃⲁⲗ ϩⲓⲑⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲓⲡⲁϩⲟⲩ
7 And the first living creature resembled a lion, and the second living creature resembled a calf, and the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature resembled a flying eagle.
ⲍ̅ⲡϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲛⲍⲱⲟⲛ ⲉϥⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩⲓ ⲡⲙⲉϩⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲍⲱⲟⲛ ⲉϥⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲁⲥⲉ ⲡⲙⲉϩϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲛⲍⲱⲟⲛ ⲉϥⲟ ⲛϩⲟ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲡⲙⲉϩϥⲧⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲛⲍⲱⲟⲛ ⲉϥⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲁⲉⲧⲟⲥ ⲉϥϩⲏⲗ
8 And each of the four living creatures had upon them six wings, and all around and within they are full of eyes. And they took no rest, day or night, from saying: “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and who is, and who is to come.”

9 And while those living creatures were giving glory and honor and blessings to the One sitting upon the throne, who lives forever and ever, (aiōn g165)

10 the twenty-four elders fell prostrate before the One sitting upon the throne, and they adored him who lives forever and ever, and they cast their crowns before the throne, saying: (aiōn g165)

11 “You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power. For you have created all things, and they became and were created because of your will.”
