Revelation 4
1 After these things I, [John], saw [in the vision that] there was a door open in heaven. The one whose voice was like [SIM] a [loud] trumpet, the one [who had spoken to me] previously, said [to me], “Come up here! I will show you events that must happen later.”
Potom jsem uviděl otevřené nebe a uslyšel jsem týž hlas jako prve, zvučný jako polnice. Přikázal mi: „Vstup sem, dám ti nahlédnout do budoucnosti!“
2 Immediately I experienced that [God’s] Spirit [was specially controlling me]. There was a throne there in heaven, and on the throne someone was sitting [and ruling].
A tu jsem v duchu viděl trůn. Z toho, který na něm seděl, vycházela bílá a rudá záře jako z démantů a rubínů a trůn byl obklopen smaragdově zelenou duhou smíření.
3 He [shone] like [SIM] a [brilliant crystalline] jasper [jewel] and like a [brilliant red] carnelian [jewel]. Around the throne was a rainbow that [shone like a brilliant green] emerald [jewel].
4 Around the throne there were 24 other thrones. On these thrones 24 elders were [sitting]. They were wearing [pure] white garments and had golden crowns on their heads.
Okolo Božího trůnu stálo čtyřiadvacet stolců. Na nich sedělo čtyřiadvacet bíle oděných starců se zlatými korunami na hlavách.
5 From the throne there came lightning and rumblings and thundering. Seven torches of fire were burning in front of the throne. Those [represent] the Spirit of God, who has all kinds of [power] (OR, who is [also] symbolized as seven spirits).
Od trůnu šlehaly blesky a duněly hromy. Před trůnem hořelo sedm světel, obraz plnosti Božího Ducha.
6 In front of the throne [there was what looked] like an ocean [made of] glass. It was [clear], like crystal. On each of the four sides of the throne there was a living [creature]. Each one was covered with eyes in front and behind.
Bylo tam také jezero, průzračné jako křišťál. Kolem trůnu stály čtyři bytosti, které měly oči vpředu i vzadu; upínaly zrak k Bohu, a zároveň sledovaly všechno ostatní.
7 The first living [creature] was like a lion. The second living [creature] was like an ox. The third living [creature] had a face like a man's face. The fourth living creature was like an eagle that was flying.
První se podobala vznešenému lvu, druhá silnému býku, třetí moudrému člověku a čtvrtá rychlému orlu.
8 Each of the four living [creatures] had six wings. They were covered with eyes, all around [their bodies] and under [their wings]. Day and night they continually [LIT] sing: Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty One. He is the one who has always existed, who exists now, and who will always exist.
Každá měla tři páry křídel. Bez ustání, ve dne i v noci,
9 The living [creatures praise], honor [DOU], and thank the one who sits on the throne, the one who lives forever. (aiōn g165)
vzdávaly slávu, čest a díky tomu, který seděl na trůnu, živému od věků na věky: (aiōn g165)
10 Whenever they do that, the 24 elders (prostrate themselves/kneel down) before the one who sits on the throne, and they worship him, the one who lives forever. They lay their crowns in front of the throne and sing: (aiōn g165)
Tu také těch čtyřiadvacet starců pokleklo před tím, který seděl na trůnu, klaněli se mu a kladli mu k nohám své koruny se slovy: (aiōn g165)
11 Our(exc) Lord and God, you are worthy that all beings praise you, you are worthy that all beings honor you, and you are worthy that all beings acknowledge that you are the powerful one, because you alone created all things. Moreover, because you planned that they should exist, you created them, and so they exist.
„Tobě patří, Pane, všechna sláva, čest a moc. Ty jsi stvořil všechno, z tvé vůle to vzniklo i trvá.“
