4:1
Μετὰ ταῦτα ἴδον, καὶ ἰδοὺ θύρα ἠνεῳγμένη ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ, καὶ ἡ φωνὴ ἡ πρώτη ἣν ἤκουσα ὡς σάλπιγγος λαλούσης μετ’ ἐμοῦ, λέγων· ἀνάβα ὧδε, καὶ δείξω σοι ἃ δεῖ γενέσθαι μετὰ ταῦτα.
Post haec vidi : et ecce ostium apertum in caelo, et vox prima, quam audivi tamquam tubae loquentis mecum, dicens : Ascende huc, et ostendam tibi quae oportet fieri post haec.
ወእምድኅረ ዝንቱ ርኢኩ ኆኅተ ርኁተ ውስተ ሰማይ ወቀዳማየ ቃለ ሰማዕኩ ከመ ቃለ መጥቅዕ ይትናገር ምስሌየ ወይቤለኒ ዕርግ ዝየ ወአነ አርእየከ ዘሀለወ ይኩን እምድኅረ ዝንቱ።
After these things I looked and saw a door opened in heaven; and the first voice that I heard, like a trumpet speaking with me, was one saying, “Come up here, and I will show you the things which must happen after this.”
4:2
εὐθέως ἐγενόμην ἐν πνεύματι· καὶ ἰδοὺ θρόνος ἔκειτο ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν θρόνον καθήμενος,
Et statim fui in spiritu : et ecce sedes posita erat in caelo, et supra sedem sedens.
ወበጊዜሃ ኮንኩ በመንፈስ ወናሁ ርኢኩ መንበር ውስተ ሰማይ ይንበር።
Immediately I was in the Spirit. Behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting on the throne
4:3
καὶ ὁ καθήμενος ὅμοιος ὁράσει λίθῳ ἰάσπιδι καὶ σαρδίῳ, καὶ ἶρις κυκλόθεν τοῦ θρόνου ὅμοιος ὁράσει σμαραγδίνῳ.
Et qui sedebat similis erat aspectui lapidis jaspidis, et sardinis : et iris erat in circuitu sedis similis visioni smaragdinae.
ወዘዲቤሁ ይነብር ይመስል ኅብሩ ከመ ዕንቈ ኢያሰጲድ ወሰርዲኖ ወካህናት እለ ዐውዱ ለውእቱ መንበር ይመስል ኅብሮሙ ከመ መረግድ።
that looked like a jasper stone and a sardius. There was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald to look at.
4:4
καὶ κυκλόθεν τοῦ θρόνου θρόνους εἴκοσι τέσσαρας, καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς θρόνους εἴκοσι τέσσαρας πρεσβυτέρους καθημένους περιβεβλημένους ἐν ἱματίοις λευκοῖς, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν στεφάνους χρυσοῦς.
Et in circuitu sedis sedilia viginti quatuor : et super thronos viginti quatuor seniores sedentes, circumamicti vestimentis albis, et in capitibus eorum coronae aureae.
ወበዐውዱ ለውእቱ መንበር ዕሥራ ወአርባዕቱ መናብርት ወዲበ ውእቶን መናብርት ይነብሩ ዕሥራ ወአርባዕቱ ሊቃናት ወይለብሱ ጸዓድወ አልባሰ ወዲበ አርእስቲሆሙ አክሊላት ዘወርቅ።
Around the throne were twenty-four thrones. On the thrones were twenty-four elders sitting, dressed in white garments, with crowns of gold on their heads.
4:5
καὶ ἐκ τοῦ θρόνου ἐκπορεύονται ἀστραπαὶ καὶ φωναὶ καὶ βρονταί· καὶ ἑπτὰ λαμπάδες πυρὸς καιόμεναι ἐνώπιον τοῦ θρόνου, ἅ εἰσιν τὰ ἑπτὰ πνεύματα τοῦ θεοῦ,
Et de throno procedebant fulgura, et voces, et tonitrua : et septem lampades ardentes ante thronum, qui sunt septem spiritus Dei.
ወእምነ ውእቱ መንበር ይወፅእ መብረቅ ወፀዓዕ ወነጐድጓድ ወቅድሜሁ ለውእቱ መንበር የኀትዉ ሰብዑ መኃትው ዘውእቱ መንፈስ ቅዱስ ዘእግዚአብሔር።
Out of the throne proceed lightnings, sounds, and thunders. There were seven lamps of fire burning before his throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
4:6
καὶ ἐνώπιον τοῦ θρόνου ὡς θάλασσα ὑαλίνη ὁμοία κρυστάλλῳ. καὶ ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ θρόνου καὶ κύκλῳ τοῦ θρόνου τέσσερα ζῷα γέμοντα ὀφθαλμῶν ἔνπροσθεν καὶ ὄπισθεν·
Et in conspectu sedis tamquam mare vitreum simile crystallo : et in medio sedis, et in circuitu sedis quatuor animalia plena oculis ante et retro.
ወቅድሜሁ ለውእቱ መንበር ባሕር ከመ እንተ በረድ ወእምገበዋቲሁ ለውእቱ መንበር አርባዕቱ እንስሳሁ ወምሉኣን እሙንቱ አዕይንተ እምቅድም ወእምድኅር።
Before the throne was something like a sea of glass, similar to crystal. In the middle of the throne, and around the throne were four living creatures full of eyes before and behind.
4:7
καὶ τὸ ζῷον τὸ πρῶτον ὅμοιον λέοντι, καὶ τὸ δεύτερον ζῷον ὅμοιον μόσχῳ, καὶ τὸ τρίτον ζῷον ἔχων τὸ πρόσωπον ὡς ἀνθρώπου, καὶ τὸ τέταρτον ζῷον ὅμοιον ἀετῷ πετομένῳ.
Et animal primum simile leoni, et secundum animal simile vitulo, et tertium animal habens faciem quasi hominis, et quartum animal simile aquilae volanti.
ወቀዳማዊ ይመስል ከመ አንበሳ ወካልኡ ይመስል ከመ ላሕም ወሣልሱ ይመስል ከመ ገጸ ዕጓለ እመሕያው ወራብዑ ይመስል ከመ ንስር ዘይሠርር።
The first creature was like a lion, the second creature like a calf, the third creature had a face like a man, and the fourth was like a flying eagle.
4:8
καὶ τὰ τέσσερα ζῷα, ἓν καθ’ ἓν αὐτῶν ἔχων ἀνὰ πτέρυγας ἕξ, κυκλόθεν καὶ ἔσωθεν γέμουσιν ὀφθαλμῶν· καὶ ἀνάπαυσιν οὐκ ἔχουσιν ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτὸς λέγοντες, ἅγιος ἅγιος ἅγιος κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὁ παντοκράτωρ ὁ ἦν καὶ ὁ ὢν καὶ ὁ ἐρχόμενος.
Et quatuor animalia, singula eorum habebant alas senas : et in circuitu, et intus plena sunt oculis : et requiem non habebant die ac nocte, dicentia : Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus Dominus Deus omnipotens, qui erat, et qui est, et qui venturus est.
ወለእሉ አርባዕቱ እንስሳሁ ለለአሐዱ አሐዱ እምኔሆሙ በበስድስቱ ክነፊሆሙ ወእንተ ኵለንታሆሙ ምሉኣን እሙንቱ አዕይንተ ወአልቦሙ ዕረፍት መዐልተ ወሌሊተ እንዘ ይብሉ ቅዱስ ቅዱስ ቅዱስ እግዚአብሔር አምላከ አማልክት ዘሀሎ ወይሄሉ።
The four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within. They have no rest day and night, saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come!”
4:9
καὶ ὅταν δώσουσιν τὰ ζῷα δόξαν καὶ τιμὴν καὶ εὐχαριστίαν τῷ καθημένῳ ἐπὶ τῷ θρόνῳ, τῷ ζῶντι εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων,
Et cum darent illa animalia gloriam, et honorem, et benedictionem sedenti super thronum, viventi in saecula saeculorum,
ወሶበ ከመዝ ይብሉ እልክቱ እንስሳሁ ወይሁቡ ስብሐተ ወክብረ ወአኰቴተ ለዝክቱ ዘይነብር ዲበ መንበር ዘሕያው ለዓለመ ዓለም።
When the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to him who sits on the throne, to him who lives forever and ever,
4:10
πεσοῦνται οἱ εἴκοσι τέσσαρες πρεσβύτεροι ἐνώπιον τοῦ καθημένου ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου καὶ προσκυνήσουσιν τῷ ζῶντι εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων, καὶ βαλοῦσιν τοὺς στεφάνους αὐτῶν ἐνώπιον τοῦ θρόνου λέγοντες,
procidebant viginti quatuor seniores ante sedentem in throno, et adorabant viventem in saecula saeculorum, et mittebant coronas suas ante thronum, dicentes :
ወይሰግዱ ሎቱ ቅድሜሁ ለዝክቱ ዘይነብር ዲበ መንበር እልክቱ ዕሥራ ወአርባዕቱ ሊቃናት ለዝክቱ ዘሕያው ለዓለመ ዓለም ወያወርዱ አክሊላቲሆሙ ቅድመ መንበሩ።
the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever, and throw their crowns before the throne, saying,
4:11
ἄξιος εἶ, ὁ κύριος καὶ ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν, λαβεῖν τὴν δόξαν καὶ τὴν τιμὴν καὶ τὴν δύναμιν, ὅτι σὺ ἔκτισας τὰ πάντα, καὶ διὰ τὸ θέλημά σου ἦσαν καὶ ἐκτίσθησαν.
Dignus es Domine Deus noster accipere gloriam, et honorem, et virtutem : quia tu creasti omnia, et propter voluntatem tuam erant, et creata sunt.
ወይብልዎ ለከ ይደሉ እግዚኦ አምላክነ ስብሐት ወክብር ወኀይል እስመ አንተ ፈጠርከ ኵሎ ወበፈቃደ ዚኣከ ይሄሉ ኵሉ ዘተፈጥረ።
“Worthy are you, our Lord and God, the Holy One, to receive the glory, the honor, and the power, for you created all things, and because of your desire they existed and were created!”
