Apocalisse 4

Riveduta 1927 (Italian) RIV

1 Dopo queste cose io vidi, ed ecco una porta aperta nel cielo, e la prima voce che avevo udita parlante meco a guisa di tromba, mi disse: Sali qua, e io ti mostrerò le cose che debbono avvenire da ora innanzi.

2 E subito fui rapito in ispirito; ed ecco un trono era posto nel cielo, e sul trono v’era uno a sedere.

3 E Colui che sedeva era nell’aspetto simile a una pietra di diaspro e di sardonico; e attorno al trono c’era un arcobaleno che, a vederlo, somigliava a uno smeraldo.

4 E attorno al trono c’erano ventiquattro troni; e sui troni sedevano ventiquattro anziani, vestiti di bianche vesti, e aveano sui loro capi delle corone d’oro.

5 E dal trono procedevano lampi e voci e tuoni; e davanti al trono c’erano sette lampade ardenti, che sono i sette Spiriti di Dio;

6 e davanti al trono c’era come un mare di vetro, simile al cristallo; e in mezzo al trono e attorno al trono, quattro creature viventi, piene d’occhi davanti e di dietro.

7 E la prima creatura vivente era simile a un leone, e la seconda simile a un vitello, e la terza avea la faccia come d’un uomo, e la quarta era simile a un’aquila volante.

8 E le quattro creature viventi avevano ognuna sei ali, ed eran piene d’occhi all’intorno e di dentro, e non restavan mai, giorno e notte, di dire: Santo, santo, santo è il Signore Iddio, l’Onnipotente, che era, che è, e che viene.

9 E ogni volta che le creature viventi rendon gloria e onore e grazie a Colui che siede sul trono, a Colui che vive nei secoli dei secoli,

10 i ventiquattro anziani si prostrano davanti a Colui che siede sul trono e adorano Colui che vive ne’ secoli dei secoli e gettano le loro corone davanti al trono, dicendo:

11 Degno sei, o Signore e Iddio nostro, di ricever la gloria e l’onore e la potenza: poiché tu creasti tutte le cose, e per la tua volontà esistettero e furon create.

New International Version NIV

1 After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.”

2 At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it.

3 And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and ruby. A rainbow that shone like an emerald encircled the throne.

4 Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads.

5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. In front of the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits of God.

6 Also in front of the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal. In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back.

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.

8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying: “ ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,’who was, and is, and is to come.”

9 Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever,

10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say:

11 “You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.”
