Revelation 4 Apokalupsias Iōannou 4
1Meta houteim horama, kai idou thuras anoigorēntas en to ourano, kai tas fōnas tas prōtas han akouama hōs salpingau lalarōntau meta mu, legarōntos; Anabainasar hōde, kai deikami si heim datō genera. meta houteimAfter this I looked and saw a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had previously heard speak to me like a trumpet was saying, “Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after these things.” 2⸀eutheōs genema en pneume; kai idou thronos keiote en to ourano, kai epi ton thronon kathorōntos,At once I was in the Spirit, and I saw a throne standing in heaven, with someone seated on it. 3⸂kai tos kathorōntos⸃ homoios horasia litho iaspia kai sardie, kai irias kuklothen tou thronou ⸂homoios horasia smaragdino.⸃The One seated there looked like jasper and carnelian, and a rainbow that gleamed like an emerald encircled the throne. 4kai kuklothen tou thronou ⸀thronois eikosi tessares, kai epi toin ⸀thronoin eikosi tessares presbuteroin kathorōntoin peribalorēntoin ⸀en himatiei leukei, kai epi tain kefalain autoiu stefanoin chrusouoin.Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and on these thrones sat twenty-four elders dressed in white, with golden crowns on their heads. 5kai ek tou thronou ekporeuolō astrapais kai fōnais kai brontais; kai hepta lampadais pureu kaiorōntais enōpion tou thronou, ⸀heim alō ⸀teim hepta pneumeim tou theou,From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings, and peals of thunder. Before the throne burned seven torches of fire. These are the seven spirits of God. 6kai enōpion tou thronou hōs thalassas hualinas homoias krustallo. Kai en mese tou thronou kai kuklō tou thronou tessares zōeim gemarōnteim ofthalmoiu emprosthen kai opisthen;And before the throne was something like a sea of glass, as clear as crystal. In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, covered with eyes in front and back.
7kai tem zōem tem prōtem homoiem leonto, kai tem deuterem zōem homoiem moscho, kai tem tritem zōem ⸀echarōntos ⸂tem prosōpem hōs⸃ anthrōpou, kai tem tetartem zōem homoiem aeto petorōnto;The first living creature was like a lion, the second like a calf, the third had a face like a man, and the fourth was like an eagle in flight. 8kai teim tessares zōeim, henem ⸂kata henem⸃ ⸀auteiu ⸀echarōntos ana pterugain hex, kuklothen kai esōthen gemalō ofthalmoiu; kai anapausian ouk echalō hēmerau kai nuktau legarōntois; Hagios hagios hagios kurios, tos theos, tos pantokratoros, tos ate kai tos arōntos kai tos erchorōntos.And each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around and within. Day and night they never stop saying: “Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!” 9kai hotan ⸀dōali teim zōeim doxan kai timan kai eucharistian to kathorōnto epi ⸂to throno,⸃ to zōarōnto eis toin aiōnoin toiu aiōnoiu,And whenever the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to the One seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever, 10pipteli tois eikosi tessares presbuterois enōpion tou kathorōntou epi tou thronou, kai proskunali to zōarōnto eis toin aiōnoin toiu aiōnoiu, kai balali toin stefanoin autoiu enōpion tou thronou, legarōntois;the twenty-four elders fall down before the One seated on the throne, and they worship Him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying: 11Axios asō, tos kurior kai tos theor ⸀nu, labara tan doxan kai tan timan kai tan dunamian, hoti sis ktizasa ⸀teim panteim, kai dia tem thelēmem su ale kai ktizila.“Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things; by Your will they exist and were created.”
