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.”

Potem sem pogledal in glej, vrata na nebu so bila odprta in prvi glas, ki sem ga zaslišal, je bil, kakor bi bil od trobente, govoreče z menoj, ki je rekel: »Pridi sèm gor in pokazal ti bom stvari, ki morajo biti odslej.«

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.

In takoj sem bil v duhu in glej, prestol je bil postavljen v nebesih in nekdo je sedel na prestolu.

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.

In tisti, ki je sedel, je bil videti podoben kamnu jaspisu in sardiju in naokoli prestola je bila mavrica, na pogled podobna smaragdu.

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.

In naokoli prestola je bilo štiriindvajset prestolov in na prestolih sem videl sedeti štiriindvajset starešin, oblečenih v bela oblačila in na svojih glavah so imeli zlate krone.

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.

In pred prestolom so izvirali bliski in grmenja ter glasovi; in pred prestolom je bilo sedem gorečih ognjenih svetilk, ki so sedem Božjih Duhov.

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.

In pred prestolom je bilo stekleno morje, podobno kristalu; in v sredini prestola in naokoli prestola so bile štiri živali, spredaj in zadaj polne oči.

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.

In prva žival je bila podobna levu in druga žival podobna teletu in tretja žival je imela obraz kakor človek, četrta žival pa je bila podobna letečemu orlu.

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.”

In štiri živali so imele vsaka izmed njih okoli sebe po šest peruti in znotraj so bile polne oči; in niso počivale dan in noč, rekoč: »Svet, svet, svet, Gospod Bog Vsemogočni, ki je bil in je in ki pride.«

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)

In ko so te živali dale slavo in čast in zahvalo njemu, ki je sedel na prestolu, ki živi na veke vekov, (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)

je štiriindvajset starešin padlo dol pred njim, ki je sedel na prestolu in oboževalo njega, ki živi na veke vekov in svoje krone vrglo pred prestol, rekoč: (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.”

»Vreden si, oh Gospod, da prejmeš slavo in čast ter moč, kajti ustvaril si vse stvari in zaradi tvojega zadovoljstva so in so bile ustvarjene.«
