Apocalisse 4

BIBBIA MARTINI	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Dopo di ciò guardai: ed ecco una porta nel cielo aperta: e la prima voce, che udii, come di tromba, che meco parlava, dicendo: sali qua, e farotti vedere le cose, che debbon accadere in appresso.	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 ispirito: ed ecco, che un trono era alzato nel cielo, e sopra del trono uno stava 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 quegli, che stava a sedere, era all'aspetto simile alla pietra Iaspide, e alla Sardia: e intorno al trono era un'iride, simile, a vedersi allo 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 E intorno al trono ventiquattro sedie: e sopra le sedie ventiquattro seniori sedevano, vestiti di bianche vesti, e sulle loro toste 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 partivano folgori, e voci, e tuoni, e dinanzi al trono sette lampane accese, le quali 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 somigliante al cristallo: e in mezzo al trono, e d'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 E il primo animale somigliante a leone, e il secondo animale simile a vitello, e il terzo animale avente la faccia come d'uomo, ed il quarto animale 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 i quattro animali avean ciascheduno sei ale: e all'intorno, e di dentro son pieni d'occhi: e di dì, e, di notte, senza darsi posa, dicono: santo, santo, santo, il Signore, il Dio onnipotente, il quale era, il quale è, e il quale verrà.	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 quegli animali davano gloria, e onore, e rendimenti di grazie a lui, che sedeva sul trono, che vive ne' secoli de' 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 Prostravansi i ventiquattro seniori dinanzi a lui, che siede nel trono, e lui adoravano, che vive ne' secoli de' secoli, e gittavano 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 se' tu. Signore, Dìo nostro, di ricevere la gloria, l'onore, e la virtù: attesoché tu creasti le cose tutte, e per volere tuo elle sussistono, 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.”
