1After this I looked and saw a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had previously heard speak to me like a trumpet was saying, “Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after these things.”
1ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲏⲡⲡⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲏⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϯ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩⲓϯ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲥⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲏⲓ ⲑⲏ ⲉⲧⲁⲓⲥⲟⲑⲙⲉⲥ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲧ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲁⲗⲡⲓⲅⲝ ⲉⲥⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲏⲓ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϣⲱⲓ ⳿ⲙⲛⲁⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲧⲁⲙⲟⲕ ⳿ⲉⲛⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ.
2At once I was in the Spirit, and I saw a throne standing in heaven, with someone seated on it.
2ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲓϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲏⲡⲡⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲉϥϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ.
3The One seated there looked like jasper and carnelian, and a rainbow that gleamed like an emerald encircled the throne.
3ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲏⲉⲧϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ϩⲓ ⳿ⲡ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛⲓⲁⲥⲡⲓⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲥⲁⲣⲇⲓⲛⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϯ⳿ⲓⲣⲓⲥ ⲉⲥⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥⲙⲁⲣⲁⲕⲇⲟⲥ.
4Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and on these thrones sat twenty-four elders dressed in white, with golden crowns on their heads.
4ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲭⲏ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲩϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲕⲧⲏⲟⲩⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛϭⲓ⳿ϩⲃⲱⲥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲃϣ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ⲭⲗⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲃ ⲉⲩⲧⲟⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲁⲫⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ.
5From the throne came flashes of lightning, and rumblings, and peals of thunder. Before the throne burned seven torches of fire. These are the seven Spirits of God.
5ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲩⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲥⲉⲧⲉⲃⲣⲏϫ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛϧⲁⲣⲁⲃⲁⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲍ̅ ⳿ⲛⲗⲁⲙⲡⲁⲥ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲭⲣⲱⲙ ⲉⲩⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲍ̅ ⳿ⲙⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲛⲉ.
6And before the throne was something like a sea of glass, as clear as crystal. In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, covered with eyes in front and back.
6ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥⲭⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲓⲟⲙ ⳿ⲙⲃⲁϫⲏⲓⲛⲓ ⲉϥ⳿ⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲭⲣⲓⲥⲧⲁⲗⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲙⲏϯ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲇ̅ ⳿ⲛⲍⲱⲟⲛ ⲉⲩⲙⲉϩ ⳿ⲙⲃⲁⲗ ϩⲓ⳿ⲧϩⲏ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲓⲫⲁϩⲟⲩ.
7The first living creature was like a lion, the second like a calf, the third had a face like a man, and the fourth was like an eagle in flight.
7ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓⲍⲱⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩⲓⲧ ⲉϥⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓⲍⲱⲟⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁϩⲃ̅ ⲉϥⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲁⲥⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓⲍⲱⲟⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁϩⲅ̅ ⲉϥⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡϩⲟ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϣⲏ ⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓⲍⲱⲟⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁϩⲇ̅ ⲉϥⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲁϧⲱⲙ ⲉϥϩⲏⲗ.
8And each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around and within. Day and night they never stop saying: “Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!”
8ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲟⲩⲓⲉⲃ ⲥⲁϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲙⲉϩ ⳿ⲙⲃⲁⲗ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲩⲙⲟⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲣϩ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ϥⲟⲩⲁⲃ ⳿ϥⲟⲩⲁⲃ ⳿ϥⲟⲩⲁⲃ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⲫϯ ⲡⲓⲡⲁⲛⲧⲟⲕⲣⲁⲧⲱⲣ ⲫⲏⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲏ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁϥϣⲟⲡ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲏⲟⲩ.
9And whenever the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to the One seated on the throne who lives forever and ever,
9ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲣⲉϣⲁⲛ ⲡⲓⲇ̅ ⳿ⲛⲍⲱⲟⲛ ϯ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲁⲓⲧⲁⲓⲟ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲁⲓϣⲉⲡ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲟⲛϧ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ.
10the twenty-four elders fall down before the One seated on the throne, and they worship Him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying:
10ϣⲁⲩϩⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲟⲩϩⲟ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲕ̅ⲇ̅ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϣⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧⲟⲛϧ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϣⲁⲩⲭⲱ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲭⲗⲟⲙ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ.
11“Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things; by Your will they exist and came to be.”
