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
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.”

The Throne in Heaven
4 After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open(A) in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet(B) said, “Come up here,(C) and I will show you what must take place after this.”(D) 2 At once I was in the Spirit,(E) and there before me was a throne in heaven(F) with someone sitting on it. 3 And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper(G) and ruby.(H) A rainbow(I) that shone like an emerald(J) encircled the throne. 4 Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders.(K) They were dressed in white(L) and had crowns of gold on their heads. 5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder.(M) In front of the throne, seven lamps(N) were blazing. These are the seven spirits[a](O) of God. 6 Also in front of the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass,(P) clear as crystal.
In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures,(Q) and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back.(R) 7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle.(S) 8 Each of the four living creatures(T) had six wings(U) and was covered with eyes all around,(V) even under its wings. Day and night(W) they never stop saying:
9 Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne(Z) and who lives for ever and ever,(AA) 10 the twenty-four elders(AB) fall down before him(AC) who sits on the throne(AD) and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say:
