Apocalipsa 4
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
4 După aceste lucruri, m-am uitat şi iată că o uşă era deschisă în cer. Glasul(A) cel dintâi, pe care-l auzisem ca sunetul unei trâmbiţe şi care vorbea cu mine, mi-a zis: „Suie-te(B) aici şi-ţi(C) voi arăta ce are să se întâmple după aceste lucruri!” 2 Numaidecât am(D) fost răpit în Duhul. Şi iată că în cer era pus un scaun(E) de domnie, şi pe scaunul acesta de domnie şedea Cineva. 3 Cel ce şedea pe el avea înfăţişarea unei pietre de iaspis şi de sardiu şi scaunul de domnie era înconjurat cu un curcubeu(F) ca o piatră de smarald la vedere. 4 Împrejurul(G) scaunului de domnie stăteau douăzeci şi patru de scaune de domnie; şi pe aceste scaune de domnie stăteau douăzeci şi patru de bătrâni, îmbrăcaţi(H) în haine albe şi(I) pe capete aveau cununi de aur. 5 Din scaunul de domnie ieşeau fulgere(J), glasuri şi tunete.
Înaintea scaunului de domnie ardeau(K) şapte lămpi de foc, care sunt cele(L) şapte Duhuri ale lui Dumnezeu. 6 În faţa scaunului de domnie, mai este un fel de mare(M) de sticlă, asemenea cu cristalul. În(N) mijlocul scaunului de domnie şi împrejurul scaunului de domnie stau patru făpturi vii, pline cu ochi pe dinainte şi(O) pe dinapoi. 7 Cea(P) dintâi făptură vie seamănă cu un leu; a doua seamănă, cu un viţel; a treia are faţa ca a unui om; şi a patra seamănă cu un vultur care zboară. 8 Fiecare din aceste patru făpturi vii avea câte şase(Q) aripi şi erau pline cu ochi de jur împrejur şi pe dinăuntru(R). Zi şi noapte ziceau fără încetare: „Sfânt(S), Sfânt, Sfânt este Domnul(T) Dumnezeu, Cel(U) Atotputernic, care era, care este, care vine!” 9 Când aceste făpturi vii aduceau slavă, cinste şi mulţumiri Celui ce şedea pe scaunul de domnie şi care(V) este viu în vecii vecilor, 10 cei(W) douăzeci şi patru de bătrâni cădeau înaintea Celui ce şedea pe scaunul de domnie şi(X) se închinau Celui ce este viu în vecii vecilor, îşi(Y) aruncau cununile înaintea scaunului de domnie şi ziceau: 11 „Vrednic(Z) eşti Doamne şi Dumnezeul nostru să primeşti slava, cinstea şi puterea, căci(AA) Tu ai făcut toate lucrurile şi prin voia Ta stau în fiinţă şi au fost făcute!”
Revelation 4
King James Version
4 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.
8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
9 And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,
10 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
Revelation 4
New King James Version
The Throne Room of Heaven(A)
4 After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing (B)open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a (C)trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.”
2 Immediately (D)I was in the Spirit; and behold, (E)a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne. 3 [a]And He who sat there was (F)like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; (G)and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald. 4 (H)Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, (I)clothed in white [b]robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads. 5 And from the throne proceeded (J)lightnings, [c]thunderings, and voices. (K)Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are (L)the[d] seven Spirits of God.
6 Before the throne there [e]was (M)a sea of glass, like crystal. (N)And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back. 7 (O)The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle. 8 The four living creatures, each having (P)six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying:
9 Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, (T)who lives forever and ever, 10 (U)the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying:
11 “You(V) are worthy, [g]O Lord,
To receive glory and honor and power;
(W)For You created all things,
And by (X)Your will they [h]exist and were created.”
