Revelation 4

1 After this, in my vision, I saw an open door in the heavens, and the first voice that I heard was like the blast of a trumpet speaking to me. It said – “Come up here and I will show you what must take place.”

Nakon toga vidjeh: gle, vrata otvorena na nebu! A onaj prijašnji glas, što ga ono začuh kao glas trublje što govoraše sa mnom, reče: “Uziđi ovamo i pokazat ću ti što se ima dogoditi nakon ovoga!”

2 Immediately after this I fell into a trance. There stood a throne in heaven, and on the throne was One seated.

I odmah se u duhu zanijeh kad gle: prijestolje stajaše na nebu i na prijestolje Netko sjede.

3 He who was seated on it was in appearance like a jasper and a sardius; and round the throne there was a rainbow of the colour of an emerald.

Taj što sjede bijaše nalik na jaspis i sard. A uokolo prijestolja duga slična smaragdu.

4 And round the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and on these I saw twenty-four elders sitting clothed in white robes; and on their heads they had crowns of gold.

Uokolo prijestolja dvadeset i četiri prijestolja, a na prijestolja sjedoše dvadeset i četiri starješine, obučene u bijele haljine, sa zlatnim vijencima na glavi.

5 Out from the throne come flashes of lightning, cries, and peals of thunder! There are seven torches burning in front of the throne, which are the seven spirits of God;

Od prijestolja izlaze munje, i glasovi, i gromovi; pred prijestoljem gori sedam ognjenih zubalja, to jest sedam duhova Božjih,

6 and in front of the throne is what seemed to be a sea of glass, resembling crystal, while within the space before the throne and round the throne are four creatures full of eyes in front and behind.

a pred prijestoljem kao neko stakleno more, nalik na prozirac. U sredini prijestolja, oko prijestolja, četiri bića, sprijeda i straga puna očiju:

7 The first creature is like a lion, the second creature like a calf, the third creature has a face like a man’s, and the fourth creature is like an eagle on the wing.

prvo biće slično lavu, drugo biće slično juncu, treće biće s licem kao čovječjim, četvrto biće slično letećem orlu.

8 These four creatures have each of them six wings, and all round, and within, they are full of eyes; and day and night they never cease to say – “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord, our God, the Almighty, who was, and who is, and who will be.”

Ta su četiri bića - u svakoga po šest krila - sve naokolo i iznutra puna očiju. Bez predaha dan i noć govore: “Svet! Svet! Svet Gospodin, Bog Svevladar, Onaj koji bijaše i koji jest i koji dolazi!”

9 And, whenever these creatures give praise and honour and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, to him who lives for ever and ever, (aiōn g165)

I kad god bića dadu slavu i čast pohvalnicu Onomu koji sjedi na prijestolju, Živomu u vijeke vjekova, (aiōn g165)

10 the twenty-four elders prostrate themselves before him who is seated on the throne, and worship him who lives for ever and ever, and throw down their crowns before the throne, saying – (aiōn g165)

dvadeset i četiri starješine padnu ničice pred Onim koji sjedi na prijestolju i poklone se njemu - Živomu u vijeke vjekova. I stavljaju svoje vijence pred prijestolje govoreći: (aiōn g165)

11 “Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive all praise, and honour, and power, for you did create all things, and at your bidding they came into being and were created.”

“Dostojan si, Gospodine, Bože naš, primiti slavu i čast i moć! Jer ti si sve stvorio, i tvojom voljom sve postade i bi stvoreno!”
