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:

Entebe ey’Obwakabaka mu Ggulu
4 (A)Laba, oluvannyuma lw’ebyo ne ndaba oluggi oluggule mu ggulu, era ne mpulira n’eddoboozi lye limu lye nawulira olubereberye eryali livuga ng’eryekkondere nga liŋŋamba nti, “Yambuka wano nkulage ebyo ebiteekwa okubaawo oluvannyuma lwa biri.” 2 (B)Amangwago, nga ndi mu mwoyo, laba, ne ndaba entebe ey’obwakabaka ng’etegekeddwa mu ggulu, ne ku ntebe eyo nga kuliko atuddeko. 3 (C)Eyali agituddeko yali ayakaayakana ng’amayinja ag’omuwendo omungi aga yasepi ne sadio; era ng’entebe eyo yeetooloddwa musoke ng’ayakaayakana nga zumaliidi. 4 (D)Entebe ey’obwakabaka yali yeetooloddwa entebe endala amakumi abiri mu nnya nga zituuliddwako abakadde amakumi abiri mu bana, bonna nga bambadde engoye enjeru nga balina engule eza zaabu ku mitwe gyabwe. 5 (E)Mu ntebe eyo ey’obwakabaka ne muvaamu okumyansa n’amaloboozi n’okubwatuka. Mu maaso g’entebe eyo waaliwo ettabaaza ezaaka musanvu, nga gy’emyoyo omusanvu egya Katonda. 6 (F)Ne mu maaso g’entebe eyo waaliwo ekiri ng’ennyanja ey’endabirwamu, ekifaanana nga kulusitalo. Waaliwo ebiramu bina ebijjudde amaaso mu bwenyi n’emabega waabyo nga biri wakati w’entebe ey’obwakabaka n’okugyetooloola.
7 (G)Ekisooka ku biramu bino kyali ng’empologoma, ekyokubiri nga kifaanana ng’ennyana, n’ekyokusatu kyalina amaaso ng’ag’omuntu, n’ekyokuna kyali ng’empungu, ebuuka. 8 (H)Buli kimu ku biramu bino ebina kyalina ebiwaawaatiro mukaaga nga bijjudde amaaso enjuuyi zonna ne wansi. Era buli lunaku emisana n’ekiro, awatali kuwummula, nga bigamba nti,
“Mutukuvu, Mutukuvu, Mutukuvu,
Mukama Katonda Ayinzabyonna,
Oyo eyaliwo, aliwo, era ajja okubaawo.”
9 (I)Era ebiramu ebyo ebina, buli lwe byawanga ekitiibwa n’ettendo n’okwebaza, Oyo atudde ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka, abeera omulamu emirembe gyonna, 10 (J)abakadde amakumi abiri mu abana ne bavuunama mu maaso g’Oyo atudde ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka, omulamu emirembe n’emirembe, ne bamusinza. Ne bateeka engule zaabwe mu maaso g’entebe eyo, nga bwe bagamba nti,
11 (K)“Mukama waffe era Katonda waffe,
osaanidde okuweebwanga ekitiibwa n’ettendo n’obuyinza,
kubanga gwe watonda ebintu byonna
era byonna byatondebwa ku lulwo
era gwe wasiima okubiteekawo.”

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.
