1Potom 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!“2Ihneď som upadol do vytrženia a videl som na nebi trón a na ňom sedieť kohosi,3kto sa skvel ako jaspis alebo karneol. Nad trónom sa klenula smaragdovozelená dúha.4Okolo trónu bolo dvadsaťštyri kresiel a na nich sedelo dvadsaťštyri starcov v bielych rúchach a so zlatými vencami na hlavách.5Z trónu šľahali blesky a zaznievali hlasy a hromy. Pred trónom horelo sedem fakieľ, predstavujúcich sedem Božích duchov,6a rozprestieralo sa more trblietavé ako krištáľ. Pri samom tróne a okolo trónu boli štyri živé bytosti plné očí vpredu i vzadu.7Prvá bytosť vyzerala ako lev, druhá sa ponášala na letiaceho orla.8A 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!“9A zakaždým, keď tie bytosti vzdajú česť, slávu a vďaku tomu, ktorý sedí na tróne a žije na veky vekov,10padá 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 vznikloi trvá.“

The Throne in Heaven
1After this I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.”2At once I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne stood in heaven, with one seated on the throne.3And he who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian, and around the throne was a rainbow that had the appearance of an emerald.4Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and seated on the thrones were twenty-four elders, clothed in white garments, with golden crowns on their heads.5From the throne came flashes of lightning, and rumblings* and peals of thunder, and before the throne were burning seven torches of fire, which are the seven spirits of God,6and before the throne there was as it were a sea of glass, like crystal. And around the throne, on each side of the throne, are four living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind:7the first living creature like a lion, the second living creature like an ox, the third living creature with the face of a man, and the fourth living creature like an eagle in flight.8And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and day and night they never cease to say, “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!”9And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever,10the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying,11“Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.”
