NOVA VULGATAKING JAMES BIBLE
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 this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be 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, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
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 look upon like a jasper and a 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 I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads 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 out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire 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 before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts 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 beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.
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 beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and 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 beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat 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 elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship 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, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
