BIBBIA TINTORI	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Dopo di ciò guardai, ed ecco una porta aperta nel cielo, e la voce che avevo udita prima, come tromba mi parlò di nuovo, dicendomi: Sali qua e ti farò vedere le coso che devono in seguito accadere.	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.”
2 E subito fui rapito in spirito, ea ecco un trono inalzato nel cielo, e sopra il trono uno a sedere.	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.
3 E colui che vi stava seduto era nell'aspetto simile alla pietra di diaspro e di sardio e intorno al trono era un'iride simile a smeraldo.	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.
4 Attorno al trono stavano ventiquattro sedie e sopra le sedie erari seduti ventiquattro vegliar­di, vestiti di bianco, e sulle loro teste corone d'oro.	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.
5 E dal trono partivan folgori e voci e tuoni, e dinanzi al trono sette lampade ardenti, che sono i sette spiriti di Dio.	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.
6 E in faccia al trono come un mare di vetro simile a cristallo; e in mezzo al trono e intorno al trono, quattro animali pieni d'occhi davanti e di dietro.	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.
7 Il primo animale somigliava al leone, il secondo animale somigliava al vitello, il terzo aveva la faccia come d'uomo, e il quarto era simile ad aquila volante.	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.
8 E ognuno dei quattro animali aveva sei ali, e all'intorno e di dentro son pieni d'occhi, e giorno e notte dicono senza mai cessare: Santo, santo, santo il Signore Dio onnipotente che era, che è, che ha da venire.	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.”
9 E mentre gli animali rendevan gloria e onore e ringraziamento all'assiso sul trono, al vivente nei secoli dei secoli.	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,
10 I ventiquattro vegliardi si prostravano davanti all'assiso sul trono, adoravano il vivente nei secoli dei secoli e deponevano le loro corone dinanzi al trono, dicendo:	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:
11 Degno sei tu, o Signore nostro Dio, di ricevere la gloria, l'onore e la potenza, perchè tu creasti tutte le cose e per voler tuo esse esistono e furon create.	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.”
