Zjavenie Apoštola Jána 4
Nádej pre kazdého
Boží trón
4 Potom som videl dokorán otvorené dvere do neba a ten istý hlas, ktorý predtým prehovoril ku mne a znie ako trúbenie poľnice, zasa na mňa zavolal: Vystúp sem hore a ukážem ti, čo sa má stať v budúcnosti!"
2 Ihneď som upadol do vytrženia a videl som na nebi trón a na ňom sedieť kohosi,
3 kto sa skvel ako jaspis alebo karneol. Nad trónom sa klenula smaragdovozelená dúha.
4 Okolo trónu bolo dvadsaťštyri kresiel a na nich sedelo dvadsaťštyri starcov v bielych rúchach a so zlatými vencami na hlavách.
5 Z trónu šľahali blesky a zaznievali hlasy a hromy. Pred trónom horelo sedem fakieľ, predstavujúcich sedem Božích duchov,
6 a rozprestieralo sa more trblietavé ako krištáľ. Pri samom tróne a okolo trónu boli štyri živé bytosti plné očí vpredu i vzadu.
7 Prvá bytosť vyzerala ako lev, druhá sa ponášala na letiaceho orla.
8 A každá z tých štyroch bytostí mala šesť krídel a na nich plno očí, ktoré hľadeli von i dovnútra. Bez prestania vo dne v noci volali: Svätý, svätý, svätý Pán, Boh všemohúci, ktorý bol, ktorý je a ktorý príde!"
9 A zakaždým, keď tie bytosti vzdajú česť, slávu a vďaku tomu, ktorý sedí na tróne a žije na veky vekov,
10 padá tých dvadsaťštyri starcov na kolená pred tým, ktorý sedí na tróne, a klaňajú sa tomu, ktorý žije na veky vekov, hádžu vence pred trón a volajú:
Tebe, Pane a Bože náš,
patrí všetka sláva, česť i moc!
Ty si stvoril všetko,
z tvojej vôle všetko vzniklo
i trvá."
Revelation 4
New International Version
The Throne in Heaven
4 After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open(A) in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet(B) said, “Come up here,(C) and I will show you what must take place after this.”(D) 2 At once I was in the Spirit,(E) and there before me was a throne in heaven(F) with someone sitting on it. 3 And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper(G) and ruby.(H) A rainbow(I) that shone like an emerald(J) encircled the throne. 4 Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders.(K) They were dressed in white(L) and had crowns of gold on their heads. 5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder.(M) In front of the throne, seven lamps(N) were blazing. These are the seven spirits[a](O) of God. 6 Also in front of the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass,(P) clear as crystal.
In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures,(Q) and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back.(R) 7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle.(S) 8 Each of the four living creatures(T) had six wings(U) and was covered with eyes all around,(V) even under its wings. Day and night(W) they never stop saying:
9 Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne(Z) and who lives for ever and ever,(AA) 10 the twenty-four elders(AB) fall down before him(AC) who sits on the throne(AD) and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say:
