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.”

Depois destas coisas, olhei, e eis que estava uma porta aberta no céu: e a primeira voz, que como de uma trombeta ouvira falar comigo, disse: Sobe aqui, e mostrar-te hei as coisas que depois destas devem acontecer.

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.

E logo fui arrebatado em espírito, e eis que um trono estava posto no céu, e um assentado sobre o trono.

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.

E o que estava assentado era, ao parecer, semelhante à pedra jaspe e sardônica; e o arco celeste estava ao redor do trono, no parecer semelhante à esmeralda.

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.

E ao redor do trono havia vinte e quatro tronos; e vi assentados sobre os tronos vinte e quatro anciãos vestidos de vestidos brancos; e tinham sobre suas cabeças corôas de ouro.

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.

E do trono saiam relâmpagos, e trovões, e vozes; e diante do trono ardiam sete lâmpadas de fogo, as quais são os sete espíritos de Deus.

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.

E havia diante do trono um mar de vidro, semelhante ao cristal. E no meio do trono, e ao redor do trono, quatro animais cheios de olhos, por diante e por detraz.

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.

E o primeiro animal era semelhante a um leão, e o segundo animal semelhante a um bezerro, e tinha o terceiro animal o rosto como de homem, e o quarto animal era semelhante a uma águia voando.

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.”

E os quatro animais tinham cada um de per si seis asas ao redor, e por dentro estavam cheios de olhos; e não descançam nem de dia nem de noite, dizendo: Santo, Santo, Santo é o Senhor Deus, o Todo-poderoso, que era, e que é, e que há de vir

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)

E, quando os animais davam glória, e honra, e ações de graças ao que estava assentado sobre o trono, ao que vive para todo o sempre, (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)

Os vinte e quatro anciãos prostravam-se diante do que estava assentado sobre o trono, e adoravam o que vive para todo o sempre; e lançavam as suas corôas diante do trono, dizendo: (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.”

Digno és, Senhor, de receber glória, e honra, e poder; porque tu criaste todas as coisas, e por tua vontade são e foram criadas.
