启示录 4
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
天上的敬拜
4 這些事以後，我觀看，見天上有一道門開著；並且有我第一次聽見的那個好像號筒的聲音，對我說：“你上這裡來！我要把以後必定發生的事指示你。” 2 立刻，我在靈裡，就看見有一個寶座，設立在天上，有一位坐在寶座上。 3 那位坐著的，看來好像碧玉和紅寶石，又有彩虹圍繞著寶座，看來好像綠寶石。 4 寶座的周圍有二十四個座位，上面坐著二十四位長老，身穿白衣，頭戴金冠。 5 有閃電、響聲、雷轟從寶座中發出；又有七枝火炬在寶座前點著，這就是 神的七靈。 6 寶座前有一個看來好像水晶的玻璃海。
在寶座中間和寶座周圍有四個活物，前後布滿了眼睛。 7 第一個活物像獅子，第二個活物像牛犢，第三個活物的臉面像人，第四個活物像飛鷹。 8 四個活物各有六個翅膀，裡外布滿了眼睛。他們晝夜不停地說：
“聖哉！聖哉！聖哉！
主、全能的 神，
昔在、今在、以後要來的那一位。”
9 每逢四個活物把榮耀、尊貴、感謝獻給那坐在寶座上，活到永永遠遠的那一位的時候， 10 二十四位長老就俯伏在坐在寶座上那一位的面前，敬拜那活到永永遠遠的，又把他們的冠冕放在寶座前，說：
11 “主、我們的 神，
你是配得榮耀、尊貴、權能的，
因為你創造了萬有，
萬有都是因著你的旨意而存在，而被造的。”
Revelation 4
King James Version
4 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.
8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
9 And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,
10 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
Revelation 4
New King James Version
The Throne Room of Heaven(A)
4 After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing (B)open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a (C)trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.”
2 Immediately (D)I was in the Spirit; and behold, (E)a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne. 3 [a]And He who sat there was (F)like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; (G)and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald. 4 (H)Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, (I)clothed in white [b]robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads. 5 And from the throne proceeded (J)lightnings, [c]thunderings, and voices. (K)Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are (L)the[d] seven Spirits of God.
6 Before the throne there [e]was (M)a sea of glass, like crystal. (N)And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back. 7 (O)The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle. 8 The four living creatures, each having (P)six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying:
9 Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, (T)who lives forever and ever, 10 (U)the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying:
11 “You(V) are worthy, [g]O Lord,
To receive glory and honor and power;
(W)For You created all things,
And by (X)Your will they [h]exist and were created.”
