1After 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.
2ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲓϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲏⲡⲡⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲉϥϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ.
2And immediately I was in the spirit: and behold there was a throne set in heaven, and upon the throne one sitting.
3ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲏⲉⲧϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ϩⲓ ⳿ⲡ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛⲓⲁⲥⲡⲓⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲥⲁⲣⲇⲓⲛⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϯ⳿ⲓⲣⲓⲥ ⲉⲥⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥⲙⲁⲣⲁⲕⲇⲟⲥ.
3And 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.
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.
4And 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.
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.
5And 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.

6And 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.
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.
7And 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.
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.
8And 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.
9ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲣⲉϣⲁⲛ ⲡⲓⲇ̅ ⳿ⲛⲍⲱⲟⲛ ϯ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲁⲓⲧⲁⲓⲟ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲁⲓϣⲉⲡ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲟⲛϧ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ.
9And when those living creatures gave glory, and honour, and benediction to him that sitteth on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever;
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.
10The 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:
11ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲉⲧⲉⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ Ⲡ⳪ ⲡⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉϭⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲧⲁⲓⲟ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯϫⲟⲙ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲁⲕⲥⲱⲛⲧ ⳿ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉⲧⲉϩⲛⲁⲕ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲥⲱⲛⲧ
11Thou 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.
