1 Потом видех: и гле, врата отворена на небу, и глас први који чух као трубу где говори са мном, рече: Попни се амо, и показаћу ти шта ће бити за овим.
1 After 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.”
2 И одмах бих у духу; и гле, престо стајаше на небу, и на престолу сеђаше неко.
2 Immediately I was in the Spirit. Behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting on the throne
3 И Онај што сеђаше беше по виђењу као камен јаспис и сард; и око престола беше дуга по виђењу као смарагд.
3 that looked like a jasper stone and a sardius. There was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald to look at.
4 И око престола беху двадесет и четири престола; и на престолима видех двадесет и четири старешине где седе, обучене у беле хаљине, и имаху круне златне на главама својим.
4 Around 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.
5 И од престола излажаху муње и громови и гласови; и седам жижака огњених гораху пред престолом, које су седам духова Божијих.
5 Out 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.
6 И пред престолом беше стаклено море, као кристал. И насред престола и око престола четири животиње, пуне очију спред и састраг.
6 Before 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.
7 И прва животиња беше као лав, и друга животиња као теле, и трећа животиња имаше лице као човек, и четврта животиња беше као орао кад лети.
7 The 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.
8 И свака од четири животиње имаше по шест крила наоколо, и унутра пуна очију, и мира не имају дан и ноћ говорећи: Свет, свет, свет Господ Бог Сведржитељ, Који беше, и који јесте, и који ће доћи.
8 The 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!”
9 И кад даше животиње славу и част и хвалу Ономе што сеђаше на престолу, што живи ва век века,
9 When the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to him who sits on the throne, to him who lives forever and ever,
10 падоше двадесет и четири старешине пред Оним што сеђаше на престолу, и поклонише се Ономе што живи ва век века, и метнуше круне своје пред престолом говорећи:
10 the 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,
11 Достојан си, Господе, да примиш славу и част и силу; јер си Ти саздао све, и по вољи Твојој јесте и створено је.
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!”

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
For, [as the Scripture] says, "The first living creature was like a lion," symbolizing His effectual working, His leadership, and royal power; the second [living creature] was like a calf, signifying [His] sacrificial and sacerdotal order; but "the third had, as it were, the face as of a man,"--an evident description of His advent as a human being; "the fourth …
