Coptic New Testament
1After these things I looked and saw a door opened in heaven; and the first voice that I heard, like a trumpet speaking with me, was one saying, “Come up here, and I will show you the things which must happen after this.”

2Immediately I was in the Spirit. Behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting on the throne
2ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲓϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲏⲡⲡⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲉϥϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ.
3that looked like a jasper stone and a sardius. There was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald to look at.
3ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲏⲉⲧϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ϩⲓ ⳿ⲡ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛⲓⲁⲥⲡⲓⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲥⲁⲣⲇⲓⲛⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϯ⳿ⲓⲣⲓⲥ ⲉⲥⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓ⳿ⲑⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥⲙⲁⲣⲁⲕⲇⲟⲥ.
4Around the throne were twenty-four thrones. On the thrones were twenty-four elders sitting, dressed in white garments, with crowns of gold 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.
5Out of the throne proceed lightnings, sounds, and thunders. There were seven lamps of fire burning before his throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

6Before the throne was something like a sea of glass, similar to crystal. In the middle of the throne, and around the throne were four living creatures full of eyes before and behind.

7The first creature was like a lion, the second creature like a calf, the third creature had a face like a man, and the fourth was like a flying eagle.

8The four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within. They have no rest day and night, saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who 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.
9When the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to him who sits on the throne, to him 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 him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever, and throw 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, the Holy One, to receive the glory, the honor, and the power, for you created all things, and because of your desire they existed and were created!”
