⁴ And, round about the throne, were four and twenty thrones; and, upon the thrones, four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white garments, and, upon their heads, [were] crowns of gold. ⁵ And, out of the throne, are coming forth lightnings, and voices, and thunderings; and [there are] seven torches of fire, burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God; ⁶ and, before the throne, [is] as a glassy sea, like unto crystal.

¹² saying with a loud voice––Worthy, is the Lamb that hath been slain, to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and might, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

¹⁶ and they say, unto the mountains and unto the rocks––Fall upon us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth upon the throne, and from the anger of the Lamb;

⁹ After these things, I saw, and lo! a great multitude,––which, to number it! no one was able,––of every nation, and [of all] tribes, and peoples, and tongues; standing before the throne, and before the Lamb; arrayed in white robes, and palm–branches in their hands; –– ¹⁰ and they cry out with a loud voice, saying––Salvation unto our God who sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb! ¹¹ And, all the messengers, were standing round about the throne and the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell down before the throne upon their faces, and rendered homage unto God, ¹² saying––Amen! The blessing, and the glory, and the wisdom, and the thanksgiving, and the honour, and the power, and the might,––be unto our God, unto the ages of ages. [Amen]!
¹³ And one of the elders began, saying unto me––These who are arrayed in white robes, who are they? and whence came they? ¹⁴ And I at once said to him––My lord! thou, knowest! And he said unto me––These, are they who come out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb; ¹⁵ For this cause, are they before the throne of God, and are rendering divine service unto him, day and night, in his sanctuary; and he that sitteth upon the throne shall spread his tent over them; ¹⁶ They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more, neither in any wise shall the sun fall upon them, nor any burning heat; ¹⁷ Because, the Lamb that is in the midst of the throne, shall shepherd them, and shall lead them unto life’s fountains of waters; and God shall wipe away every tear out of their eyes.

¹¹ And, they, overcame him by reason of the blood of the Lamb, and by reason of their witnessing word, and they loved not their life, even unto death.

⁸ And all they who are dwelling upon the earth will do homage unto him,––[every one] whose name is not written in the scroll of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

¹⁴ These, with the Lamb, will make war; and, the Lamb, will overcome them, because he is, Lord of lords, and King of kings,––and, they who are with him, are called and chosen and faithful.

²³ And, the city, hath no need of the sun, nor of the moon, that they should shine therein; for, the glory of God, illumined it, and, the lamp thereof, was the Lamb.

¹ And he pointed out to me a river of water of life, bright as crystal, issuing forth out of the throne of God and of the Lamb,

³ And, no curse, shall there be, any more; and, the throne of God and of the Lamb, shall be, therein,––and his servants will render divine service unto him,

² straightway, I came to be in Spirit, and lo! a throne, stood in heaven, and, upon the throne, [was] one sitting; ³ and, he that was sitting, [was] like in appearance to a jasper stone and a sardius, and [there was] a rainbow round about the throne, like in appearance unto an emerald,

¹ And I saw, upon the right hand of him that was sitting upon the throne, a scroll; written within, and on the back, sealed up with seven seals.

² Give ye thanks unto Yahweh with the lyre, With a harp of ten strings, make ye music unto him.

⁴ That I may go in unto the altar of God, Unto GOD, mine exultant joy,––That I may praise thee with the lyre, O God––mine own God!

² Raise a melody, and strike the timbrel, The lyre so sweet, with the harp:

² Let my prayer be set in order like incense before thee,––the lifting up of my hands, as the evening gift.

³ Praise him, with the blast of a horn, Praise him, with the harp and lyre:

²³ That, all, may honour the Son, just as they honour the Father: he that doth not honour the Son, doth not, in fact, honour the Father who sent him.

¹⁰ But, thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? Aye! and thou, why dost thou despise thy brother? For, all of us, shall present ourselves unto the judgment seat of God; ¹¹ For it is written––Living am, I, saith the Lord, unto me, shall bow every knee, and, every tongue, shall openly confess unto God. ¹² Hence, [then], each one of us, of himself shall give account unto God.

⁶ But, whensoever he again introduceth the first–begotten into the habitable earth, he saith––And let all God’s messengers worship him!

⁸ and, the four living creatures, each one of them, have severally six wings, round about and within, full of eyes; and they, cease, not, day and night, saying––Holy! holy! holy! Lord, God, the Almighty,––Who was, and Who is, and Who is coming.

⁶ And I saw, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb, standing, showing that it had been slain,––having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the [seven] Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

¹⁴ And the four living creatures continued saying––Amen! And, the elders, fell down and did homage.

¹⁰ and they cry out with a loud voice, saying––Salvation unto our God who sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb! ¹¹ And, all the messengers, were standing round about the throne and the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell down before the throne upon their faces, and rendered homage unto God, ¹² saying––Amen! The blessing, and the glory, and the wisdom, and the thanksgiving, and the honour, and the power, and the might,––be unto our God, unto the ages of ages. [Amen]!

³ And, another messenger, came, and took his stand at the altar, having a censer of gold: and there was given unto him much incense, that he might give [it] unto the prayers of all the saints, upon the altar of gold that is before the throne. ⁴ And the smoke of the incense went up, with the prayers of the saints, out of the hand of the messenger before God.

² And I heard a sound out of heaven, as the sound of many waters, and as the sound of, loud thunders; and, the sound which I heard, was as of harp–singers harping with their harps, ³ And they sing as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders. And, no one, was able to learn the song, save the hundred and forty–four thousand, who had been redeemed from the earth.

² And I saw as a glassy sea mingled with fire, and them who escape victorious from the beast, and from his image, and from the number of his name, standing upon the glassy sea, having harps of God;

⁷ And, one of the four living creatures, gave, unto the seven messengers, seven golden bowls, full of the wrath of God who liveth unto the ages of ages.

⁴ And the twenty–four elders and the four living creatures, fell down, and did homage unto God, who sitteth upon the throne, saying––Amen! Hallelujah!

³ Sing unto him, a song that is new, With skill, sweep the strings, with loud noise.

³ Then put he, into my mouth, a new song, Praise to our God,––Many shall see and revere, And shall trust in Yahweh.

¹ Sing to Yahweh, a song that is new, Sing to Yahweh, all the earth;

¹ [A Melody.]
Sing to Yahweh, a song that is new, For, wonderful things, hath he done, His own right hand and his holy arm, have brought him salvation.

⁹ O God! a new song, will I sing unto thee,––On a harp of ten strings, will I make music to thee:

¹ Praise ye Yah, Sing to Yahweh a song that is new, his praise in the convocation of the men of lovingkindness.

¹⁰ Sing to Yahweh, a song that is new, His praise, from the end of the earth,––Ye that go down to the sea, and the fulness thereof, The Coastlands, and ye who dwell therein.

⁴ And, the herald, proclaimed aloud,––To you, is given the word, O ye peoples, races, and tongues:

¹ Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all the peoples, the races and the tongues who are dwelling in all the earth, Let, your prosperity, abound!

²⁵ Then, Darius the king, wrote to all the peoples, the races, and the tongues who were dwelling in all the earth, Your prosperity abound!

²⁸ Just as, the Son of Man, came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom instead of many.

²⁸ For, this, is my blood of the covenant, which, for many, is to be poured out, for remission of sins.

¹⁵ and he said unto them––Go ye into all the world, and proclaim the glad–message, to the whole creation: ¹⁶ He that hath believed, and been immersed, shall be saved; but, he that hath disbelieved, shall be condemned:

²⁸ Be taking heed unto yourselves, and unto all the little flock in which the Holy Spirit hath set, you, as overseers,––to be shepherding the assembly of God which he hath acquired through means of the blood of his own.

²⁴ Being declared righteous freely by his favour through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:–– ²⁵ Whom God hath set forth as a propitiatory covering, through faith in his blood, for a showing forth of his righteousness, by reason of the passing–by of the previously committed sins, ²⁶ In the forbearance of God,––with a view to a showing forth of his righteousness in the present season, that he might be righteous even when declaring righteous him that hath faith in Jesus.

²⁰ For ye have been bought with a price! Therefore glorify God in your body.

²³ With a price, have ye been bought,––do not become bond–servants of men:

⁷ In whom we have the redemption through his blood, the remission of our offences, according to the riches of his favour,

¹⁴ In whom, we have our redemption––the remission of our sins,––

²³ If, at least, ye are abiding still in the faith, founded and firm, and not to be moved away from the hope of the glad–message which ye have heard, which hath been proclaimed in all creation which is under heaven,––of which, I Paul, have become minister.

¹⁴ Who gave himself up in our behalf, that he might redeem us from all manner of lawlessness, and purify for himself a people as his own treasure––zealous of noble works.

¹⁴ For, they who such things as these are saying, make it clear that, of a paternal home they are in quest;

¹⁸ Knowing that, Not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, have ye been redeemed from your unmeaning behaviour paternally handed down, ¹⁹ But with precious blood, as of a lamb, unblemished and unspotted, of an Anointed One,––

¹ But there arose false–prophets also among the people, as, among you also, there shall be, false–teachers,––men who will stealthily bring in destructive parties, even the Master that bought them, denying, bringing upon themselves speedy destruction;

⁷ Whereas, if, in the light, we are walking, as, he, is in the light, we have, fellowship one with another, and, the blood of Jesus his Son, is cleansing us from all sin.

² And, he, is, a propitiation, concerning our sins,––and, not concerning our own only, but, also concerning those of the whole world.

¹¹ Worthy, art thou, O Lord, and our God, to receive the glory, and the honour, and the power: because thou didst create all things, and, by reason of thy will, they were, and were created.

² And I saw a mighty messenger, proclaiming with a loud voice––Who is worthy to open the scroll, and to unloose the seals thereof? ³ And, no one, was able, in heaven, or on earth, or under the earth, to open the scroll, or, to look thereon.

⁹ After these things, I saw, and lo! a great multitude,––which, to number it! no one was able,––of every nation, and [of all] tribes, and peoples, and tongues; standing before the throne, and before the Lamb; arrayed in white robes, and palm–branches in their hands; ––

⁹ And [some] of the peoples, and tribes, and tongues, and nations, see, their dead bodies three days and a half, and, their dead bodies, do they not suffer to be put into a tomb.

³ And they sing as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders. And, no one, was able to learn the song, save the hundred and forty–four thousand, who had been redeemed from the earth. ⁴ These, are they, who with women, were not defiled, for they are, virgin. These, are they who follow the Lamb whithersoever he is going. These, were redeemed from mankind, as a firstfruit unto God and the Lamb;

⁶ And I saw another messenger, flying in mid–heaven, having an age–abiding glad–message to announce unto them who are dwelling upon the earth, even unto every nation and tribe and tongue and people,

⁶ But, ye, shall be mine, As a kingdom of priests, And a holy nation. These, are the words, which thou shalt speak unto the sons of Israel.

¹⁸ but the holy ones of the Highest, shall receive the kingdom,––and shall possess the kingdom for the age, yea for the age of ages.

²⁷ And, the kingdom, and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under all the heavens, shall be given to the people of the holy ones of the Highest,––his kingdom, is an age–abiding kingdom, and, all the dominions, unto him, will render service, and show themselves obedient.

⁵ Yourselves also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, for a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices, well–pleasing unto God through Jesus Christ; ⁶ Inasmuch as it is contained in scripture––Lo! I lay in Zion an outmost corner stone, chosen, held in honour, and, he that resteth faith thereupon, shall not be put to shame. ⁷ Unto you, then, is the honour––[unto you] who believe; but, unto such as disbelieve, The stone which the builders rejected,––The same, hath become head of the corner, ⁸ And a stone to strike against, and a rock to stumble over: Who stumble because, unto the word, they do not yield,––unto which also they have been appointed; ⁹ But, ye, are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for a peculiar treasure, that, the excellences, ye may tell forth, of him who, out of darkness, hath called you into his marvelous light:––

⁶ and he hath made us [to be] a kingdom––priests unto his God and Father, Unto him, be the glory, and the dominion, unto the ages. Amen.

⁶ Happy and holy, is he that hath part in the first resurrection: upon these, the second death, hath no authority; but they shall be priests of God and of the Christ, and shall reign with him for the thousand years.

⁵ And, night, shall be, no more; and they have no need of the light of a lamp or the light of a sun, because, the Lord, God, will give them light,––and they shall reign unto the ages of ages.

² And he said––Yahweh, from Sinai, came near,––Yea he dawned, out of Seir, upon them, He shone forth out of Mount Paran, Yea he came out of holy myriads,––Out of his right hand [proceeded] fire to guide them.

¹⁹ Then he said, Therefore, hear thou the word of Yahweh,––I saw Yahweh, sitting upon his throne, and all the host of the heavens, standing by him, on his right hand, and on his left.

¹⁶ And he said––Do not fear,––for, more, are, they who are with us, than, they who are with them. ¹⁷ Then prayed Elisha, and said, O Yahweh! open, I beseech thee, his eyes, that he may see. And Yahweh opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw, and lo! the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire, round about Elisha. ¹⁸ And, when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto Yahweh, and said––Smite, I beseech thee, this people, with sudden blindness. And he smote them with sudden blindness, according to the word of Elisha.

¹⁷ The chariots of God, are two myriads––thousands repeated, My Lord, is among them, Sinai, is in the sanctuary!

² Praise him, all his messengers, Praise him, all his host;

¹⁰ A stream of fire, was flowing on and issuing forth from before him, a thousand thousand, waited upon him and, ten thousand times ten thousand, before him, stood up,––Judgment, took its seat, and, books, were opened.

²² But ye have approached––unto Zion’s mountain, and unto the city of a Living God, a heavenly Jerusalem,––and unto myriads of messengers,

⁶ and, before the throne, [is] as a glassy sea, like unto crystal. And, in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, [are] four living creatures full of eyes, before and behind;

⁹ And, whensoever the living creatures shall give glory, and honour, and thanksgiving, unto him that sitteth upon the throne, unto him that liveth unto the ages of ages, ¹⁰ the four and twenty elders will fall down before him that sitteth upon the throne, and do homage unto him that liveth unto the ages of ages,––and will cast their crowns before the throne, saying––

¹¹ And, all the messengers, were standing round about the throne and the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell down before the throne upon their faces, and rendered homage unto God,

⁶ And I heard as a voice of a great multitude, and as a voice of many waters, and as a voice of mighty thunderings, saying––Hallelujah! Because the Lord, [our] God, the Almighty, hath become king.

⁷ O Sword! awake against my shepherd, even against the man that is my companion, urgeth Yahweh of hosts,––Smite the shepherd, and let the flock, be scattered, Howbeit I will turn back my hand over the little ones.

¹⁸ And Jesus, coming near, spake unto them, saying––All authority, in heaven and on earth, hath been given unto me;

³⁵ The Father, loveth the Son, and, all things, hath given into his hand. ³⁶ He that believeth on the Son, hath life age–abiding: whereas, he that yieldeth not unto the Son, shall not see life,––but, the anger of God, awaiteth him.

² Even as thou gavest him authority over all flesh, that, as touching whatsoever thou hast given him, he might give unto them, life age–abiding.

⁹ For ye are taking knowledge of the favour of our Lord Jesus [Christ], ––how that, for your sakes, he became destitute––although he was, rich, in order that, ye, by his destitution, might be enriched.

¹⁷ Now, unto the King of the ages,––incorruptible, invisible, alone God, be honour and glory, unto the ages of ages, Amen!

⁹ and they sing a new song, saying––Worthy, art thou, to take the scroll and to open the seals thereof; because thou wast slain, and didst redeem unto God by thy blood [men] out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation,

¹² saying––Amen! The blessing, and the glory, and the wisdom, and the thanksgiving, and the honour, and the power, and the might,––be unto our God, unto the ages of ages. [Amen]!

¹ After these things, I heard as it were, a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying––Hallelujah! The salvation and the glory and the power of our God!

¹¹ Thine, O Yahweh, are Greatness, and Might, and Beauty, and Victory, and Majesty, nay! all in the heavens and in the earth,––thine, O Yahweh, is the kingdom, who art exalted above all,––as chief;

¹⁸ Blessed be Yahweh God, the God of Israel,––Who doeth wondrous things by himself alone; ¹⁹ And blessed be his glorious Name, unto times ago–abiding,––And filled with his glory be all the earth, Amen and Amen!

¹¹ Let the heavens rejoice, and the earth exult, Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; ¹² Let the field, leap for joy, and all that is therein, Then, shall all the trees of the forest, shout in triumph, ¹³ Before Yahweh, for he is coming, For he is coming to judge the earth,––He will judge the world, in righteousness, And the peoples, in his faithfulness.

² Praise him, all his messengers, Praise him, all his host; ³ Praise him, sun and moon, Praise him, all ye stars of light; ⁴ Praise him, O ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens; ⁵ Let them praise the Name of Yahweh, for, he, commanded, and they were created; ⁶ So caused he them to stand perpetually––age–abidingly, A decree, hath he given, and it passeth not beyond.
⁷ Praise Yahweh, out of the earth, sea monsters, and all resounding deeps; ⁸ Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind, fulfilling his word; ⁹ Ye mountains, and all hills, fruit trees, and all cedars; ¹⁰ Thou wild–beast, and all ye cattle, crawling creature, and bird of wing; ¹¹ Kings of earth, and all peoples, Rulers, and all judges of earth; ¹² Young men, yea even virgins, elders, and children. ¹³ Let them praise the Name of Yahweh, for lofty is his Name alone, His splendour is over earth and heavens.

¹⁴ They, shall lift up their voice––shall raise a tremulous note,––On account of the splendour of Yahweh, have they made a shrill cry, on the West;

¹³ And bring us not into temptation, but rescue us from the evil one.

¹⁴ Glory, in the highest, unto God! And, on earth, peace, among men of goodwill.

⁵ Whose are the fathers, and of whom is the Christ––according to the flesh––he who is over all, God, blessed unto the ages. Amen.

³⁶ Because, of him, and through him, and unto him, are all things:––unto him, be the glory, unto the ages. Amen!

²⁷ Unto a God, wise alone, through Jesus Christ, [unto whom] be the glory, unto the ages. Amen.

²¹ Unto him, be the glory, in the assembly, and in Christ Jesus––unto all the generations of the age of ages; Amen:––

¹⁰ In order that, in the name of Jesus, every knee might bow––of beings in heaven, and on earth, and underground,––

¹⁶ Be giving heed to thyself, and to thy teaching,––abide still in them; for, this doing, both, thyself, shalt thou save, and them that hearken to thee.

¹¹ If any one speaketh, as oracles of God, if any one ministereth, as of strength which, God, supplieth,––that, in all things, God may be glorified through Jesus Christ,––unto whom are the glory and the dominion, unto the ages of ages. Amen!

¹¹ Unto him, be the dominion, unto the ages. Amen!

²⁵ Unto God alone our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, greatness, dominion, and authority, before all the [by–gone] age, and now, and unto all the [coming] ages. Amen!

³ And, no one, was able, in heaven, or on earth, or under the earth, to open the scroll, or, to look thereon.

⁹ After these things, I saw, and lo! a great multitude,––which, to number it! no one was able,––of every nation, and [of all] tribes, and peoples, and tongues; standing before the throne, and before the Lamb; arrayed in white robes, and palm–branches in their hands; –– ¹⁰ and they cry out with a loud voice, saying––Salvation unto our God who sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb!

⁹ And, whensoever the living creatures shall give glory, and honour, and thanksgiving, unto him that sitteth upon the throne, unto him that liveth unto the ages of ages, ¹⁰ the four and twenty elders will fall down before him that sitteth upon the throne, and do homage unto him that liveth unto the ages of ages,––and will cast their crowns before the throne, saying–– ¹¹ Worthy, art thou, O Lord, and our God, to receive the glory, and the honour, and the power: because thou didst create all things, and, by reason of thy will, they were, and were created.

⁸ And, when he took the scroll, the four living creatures, and the four–and–twenty elders, fell down before the Lamb, having, each one, a harp, and bowls of gold full of incense,––which are the prayers of the saints;
