Revelation 4

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	BIBBIA VOLGARE
1 After these things, I saw, and behold, a door was opened in heaven, and the voice that I heard speaking with me first was like a trumpet, saying: “Ascend to here, and I will reveal to you what must occur after these things.”	1 Dopo queste cose vidi; ed ecco, l' uscio aperto nel cielo, e la voce prima, la quale io uditti come tromba, parlava meco dicendo: ascendi qui, e io ti mostrarò quelle cose le quali bisogna esser fatte presto.
2 And immediately I was in the Spirit. And behold, a throne had been placed in heaven, and there was One sitting upon the throne.	2 Dopo questo, incontinente fui nel spirito; ed ecco, la sedia fu posta in cielo, e sopra la sedia il sedente.
3 And the One who was sitting there was similar in appearance to a stone of jasper and sardius. And there was an iridescence surrounding the throne, in aspect similar to an emerald.	3 E quel che sedeva simile era all' aspetto d' iaspide e sardino; e l'arco celeste era intorno della sedia, simile alla visione del smeraldo.
4 And surrounding the throne were twenty-four smaller thrones. And upon the thrones, twenty-four elders were sitting, clothed entirely in white vestments, and on their heads were gold crowns.	4 E intorno della sedia ventiquattro sedie; e sopra li troni ventiquattro antiqui sedevano (intorno), vestiti di vestimenta bianche, e nelli capi suoi corone di auro.
5 And from the throne, lightnings and voices and thunders went forth. And there were seven burning lamps before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God.	5 E del trono usciva corruscazione, voce e tuoni; e sette lampade (che) ardevano inanzi al trono, le quali sono li sette spiriti di Dio
6 And in view of the throne, there was something that seemed like a sea of glass, similar to crystal. And in the middle of the throne, and all around the throne, there were four living creatures, full of eyes in front and in back.	6 E nel conspetto della sedia a modo d' uno mare di vetro, simile al cristallo; e nel mezzo della sedia, e intorno della sedia, quattro animali pieni di occhi dinanzi e da drieto.
7 And the first living creature resembled a lion, and the second living creature resembled a calf, and the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature resembled a flying eagle.	7 E l'animale primo, simile al leone; il secondo animale, simile al vitello; il terzo animale avea la faccia quasi da uomo; il quarto animale, simile all'aquila che vola
8 And each of the four living creatures had upon them six wings, and all around and within they are full of eyes. And they took no rest, day or night, from saying: “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and who is, and who is to come.”	8 Eli quattro animali, ciascheduno avea ale sei; e intorno e dentro sono pieni di occhi; e non avevano riposo di dì nè notte, dicenti: santo, santo, santo, Signore Dio (delle potenze) onnipotente, il quale era, ed è, e sarà.
9 And while those living creatures were giving glory and honor and blessings to the One sitting upon the throne, who lives forever and ever,	9 E quando davano quelli quattro animali gloria e onore e benedizione a quello sedeva sopra il trono, vivente in secula seculorum,
10 the twenty-four elders fell prostrate before the One sitting upon the throne, and they adored him who lives forever and ever, and they cast their crowns before the throne, saying:	10 venivano ventiquattro antiqui dinanzi a quello che sedeva in trono, e adoravano lo vivente in secula seculorum, e mettevano le sue corone dinanzi al trono, dicenti :
11 “You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power. For you have created all things, and they became and were created because of your will.”	11 Tu se' degno, Signor Dio nostro, di ricever gloria e onore e virtù; perchè tu hai creato tutte le cose, e per la tua volontà erano, e sono create.
