Apocalisse 4

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Post haec vidi: et ecce ostium apertum in caelo, et vox prima, quamaudivi, tamquam tubae loquentis mecum dicens: “ Ascende huc, et ostendam tibi,quae oportet fieri post haec ”.	1 After these things I looked, and behold a door was opened in heaven, and the first voice which I heard, as it were, of a trumpet speaking with me, said: Come up hither, and I will shew thee the things which must be done hereafter.
2 Statim fui in spiritu: et ecce thronuspositus erat in caelo; et supra thronum sedens;	2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and behold there was a throne set in heaven, and upon the throne one sitting.
3 et, qui sedebat, similis erataspectu lapidi iaspidi et sardino; et iris erat in circuitu throni, aspectusimilis smaragdo.	3 And he that sat, was to the sight like the jasper and the sardine stone; and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
4 Et in circuitu throni, viginti quattuor thronos, et superthronos viginti quattuor seniores sedentes, circumamictos vestimentis albis, etsuper capita eorum coronas aureas.	4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats; and upon the seats, four and twenty ancients sitting, clothed in white garments, and on their heads were crowns of gold.
5 Et de throno procedunt fulgura et voces ettonitrua; et septem lampades ignis ardentes ante thronum, quae sunt septemspiritus Dei;	5 And from the throne proceeded lightnings, and voices, and thunders; and there were seven lamps burning before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God.
6 et in conspectu throni tamquam mare vitreum simile crystallo. Etin medio throni et in circuitu throni quattuor animalia, plena oculis ante etretro:	6 And in the sight of the throne was, as it were, a sea of glass like to crystal; and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four living creatures, full of eyes before and behind.
7 et animal primum simile leoni, et secundum animal simile vitulo, ettertium animal habens faciem quasi hominis, et quartum animal simile aquilaevolanti.	7 And the first living creature was like a lion: and the second living creature like a calf: and the third living creature, having the face, as it were, of a man: and the fourth living creature was like an eagle flying.
8 Et quattuor animalia singula eorum habebant alas senas, in circuituet intus plenae sunt oculis; et requiem non habent die et nocte dicentia: “Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus Dominus, Deus omnipotens, qui erat et qui est et quiventurus est! ”.	8 And the four living creatures had each of them six wings; and round about and within they are full of eyes. And they rested not day and night, saying: Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was, and who is, and who is to come.
9 Et cum darent illa animalia gloriam et honorem et gratiarumactionem sedenti super thronum, viventi in saecula saeculorum,	9 And when those living creatures gave glory, and honour, and benediction to him that sitteth on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever;
10 procidebantviginti quattuor seniores ante sedentem in throno et adorabant viventem insaecula saeculorum et mittebant coronas suas ante thronum dicentes:	10 The four and twenty ancients fell down before him that sitteth on the throne, and adored him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying:
11 “ Dignus es, Domine et Deus noster, accipere gloriam et honorem et virtutem, quia tu creasti omnia, et propter voluntatem tuam erant et creata sunt ”.	11 Thou art worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory, and honour, and power: because thou hast created all things; and for thy will they were, and have been created.
