启示录 4
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
天上的宝座
4 这些事以后,我观看,看哪,天上有一个敞开的门。我先前所听见的,那如同号角对我说话的声音就说:“你上到这里来!我要把此后必须发生的事指示给你。”
2 我立刻就在灵里了,看哪,有一个宝座安放在天上,有一位坐在宝座上。 3 坐着的那一位,[a]看起来仿佛碧玉和红宝石;又有一道彩虹[b]围着宝座,看起来仿佛绿宝石。 4 座位[c]的周围,还有二十四个座位[d];[e]在那些宝座上,坐着二十四位长老,身穿白衣,头戴金冠冕; 5 从宝座中发出闪电、声音和雷鸣;在宝座前,有七支燃烧着的火把,就是神的七个灵; 6 宝座前面,好像玻璃海,仿佛水晶;在宝座中间和宝座周围,有四个活物,遍体前后布满眼睛。 7 第一个活物仿佛狮子,第二个活物仿佛牛犊,第三个活物有像人一样的脸,第四个活物仿佛飞翔的鹰。 8 那四个活物,各个都有六个翅膀,遍体内外都布满了眼睛。他们日夜不停地[f]说:
9 每当四个活物把荣耀、尊贵和感谢归给坐在宝座上、活到永永远远的那一位时, 10 二十四位长老就俯伏在坐宝座的那一位面前,敬拜活到永永远远的那一位,并且把自己的冠冕放在宝座前,说:
11 “我们的主、我们的神哪[i],
你配接受荣耀、尊贵和权能,
因为你创造了万有;
万有是因着你的旨意而存在、被创造的。”

天上的敬拜
4 此後,我再觀看,見天上有一扇門開了,又聽見剛才那個像號角般響亮的聲音對我說:「你上這裡來,我要把以後必發生的事指示給你看。」 2 我便立刻被聖靈感動,看見天上安設著一個寶座,有一位坐在寶座上, 3 閃耀著碧玉和紅寶石般的光彩。有一道翡翠般的彩虹圍繞著寶座。 4 寶座的周圍設有二十四個座位,有二十四位長老坐在上面,他們身穿白袍,頭戴金冠。 5 從寶座中有閃電、響聲、雷鳴發出,寶座前面燃燒著七把火炬,代表[a]上帝的七靈。 6 寶座前還有一個水晶般的玻璃海,寶座的四周有四個活物,他們前後都長滿了眼睛。 7 第一個活物像獅子,第二個像牛犢,第三個有人的面孔,第四個像飛鷹。 8 這四個活物各有三對翅膀,翅膀內外都長滿眼睛。他們晝夜不停地說:
「聖哉!聖哉!聖哉!
主上帝是昔在、今在、
以後永在的全能者。」
9 每逢這些活物將榮耀、尊貴、感謝獻給坐在寶座上、活到永永遠遠的那位時, 10 二十四位長老就俯伏在坐寶座的那位面前,敬拜那位永活者,又摘下他們頭上的冠冕,放在寶座前,說:
11 「我們的主,我們的上帝,
你配得榮耀、尊貴和權能,
因你創造了萬物,
萬物都因你的旨意被創造而存在。」

Common English Bible
John sees God’s heavenly throne
4 After this I looked and there was a door that had been opened in heaven. The first voice that I had heard, which sounded like a trumpet, said to me, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” 2 At once I was in a Spirit-inspired trance and I saw a throne in heaven, and someone was seated on the throne. 3 The one seated there looked like jasper and carnelian, and surrounding the throne was a rainbow that looked like an emerald. 4 Twenty-four thrones, with twenty-four elders seated upon them, surrounded the throne. The elders were dressed in white clothing and had gold crowns on their heads. 5 From the throne came lightning, voices, and thunder. In front of the throne were seven flaming torches, which are the seven spirits of God. 6 Something like a glass sea, like crystal, was in front of the throne.
In the center, by the throne, were four living creatures encircling the throne. These creatures were covered with eyes on the front and on the back. 7 The first living creature was like a lion. The second living creature was like an ox. The third living creature had a face like a human being. And the fourth living creature was like an eagle in flight. 8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings, and each was covered all around and on the inside with eyes. They never rest day or night, but keep on saying,
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,
who was and is and is coming.”
9 Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to the one seated on the throne, who lives forever and always, 10 the twenty-four elders fall before the one seated on the throne. They worship the one who lives forever and always. They throw down their crowns before the throne and say,
11 “You are worthy, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
because you created all things.
It is by your will that they existed and were created.”
Revelation 4
Easy-to-Read Version
John Sees Heaven
4 Then I looked, and there before me was an open door in heaven. And I heard the same voice that spoke to me before. It was the voice that sounded like a trumpet. It said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after this.” 2 Immediately the Spirit took control of me, and there in heaven was a throne with someone sitting on it. 3 The one sitting there was as beautiful as precious stones, like jasper and carnelian. All around the throne was a rainbow with clear colors like an emerald.
4 In a circle around the throne were 24 other thrones with 24 elders sitting on them. The elders were dressed in white, and they had golden crowns on their heads. 5 Lightning flashes and noises of thunder came from the throne. Before the throne there were seven lamps burning, which are the seven Spirits of God. 6 Also before the throne there was something that looked like a sea of glass, as clear as crystal.
In front of the throne and on each side of it there were four living beings. They had eyes all over them, in front and in back. 7 The first living being was like a lion. The second was like a bull. The third had a face like a man. The fourth was like a flying eagle. 8 Each of these four living beings had six wings. They were covered all over with eyes, inside and out. Day and night they never stopped saying,
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God All-Powerful.
He always was, he is, and he is coming.”
9 These living beings were giving glory and honor and thanks to the one who sits on the throne, the one who lives forever and ever. And every time they did this, 10 the 24 elders bowed down before the one who sits on the throne. They worshiped him who lives forever and ever. They put their crowns down before the throne and said,
11 “Our Lord and God!
You are worthy to receive glory and honor and power.
You made all things.
Everything existed and was made because you wanted it.”
Revelation 4
New International Version
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:
