Apocalipsis 4
Nueva Biblia Viva
El trono en el cielo
4 Al levantar la vista, contemplé en el cielo una puerta abierta; y la voz que había escuchado antes, estridente como toque de trompeta, me dijo: «Sube acá y te mostraré lo que va a ocurrir después de esto». 2 Al instante vino sobre mí el Espíritu y vi un trono colocado en el cielo y a alguien sentado en él. 3 El que estaba sentado fulguraba como lustroso diamante o reluciente rubí. Alrededor del trono había un arco iris brillante como la esmeralda, 4 y veinticuatro tronos ocupados por veinticuatro ancianos vestidos de blanco y con coronas de oro. 5 Del trono salían relámpagos, truenos y estruendos. Delante del trono ardían siete lámparas de fuego que representaban a los siete espíritus de Dios, 6 y había un mar como de cristal reluciente.
En medio y alrededor del trono había cuatro seres vivientes, llenos de ojos por detrás y por delante.
7 El primero de aquellos seres vivientes tenía forma de león; el segundo, de toro; el tercero tenía un rostro humano, y el cuarto parecía un águila en pleno vuelo. 8 Cada uno de ellos tenía seis alas y estaba cubierto de ojos por dentro y por fuera. Y día y noche decían:
«Santo, santo, santo es el Señor Dios Todopoderoso, el que era, que es y que ha de venir».
9 Y cada vez que los seres vivientes daban gloria, honra y acción de gracias al que estaba sentado en el trono, al que vive para siempre, 10 los veinticuatro ancianos se postraban en adoración delante del que vive eternamente y tiraban sus coronas delante del trono, al tiempo que cantaban:
11 «Señor, eres digno de recibir la gloria, la honra y el poder, porque tú creaste el universo. Lo que existe, existe porque tú quisiste crearlo».

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:

4 After these things, I looked; and there before me was a door standing open in heaven; and the voice like a trumpet which I had heard speaking with me before said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after these things.” 2 Instantly I was in the Spirit, and there before me in heaven stood a throne, and on the throne Someone was sitting. 3 The One sitting there gleamed like diamonds and rubies, and a rainbow shining like emerald encircled the throne.
4 Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and on the thrones sat twenty-four elders dressed in white clothing and wearing gold crowns on their heads. 5 From the throne came forth lightnings, voices and thunderings; and before the throne were seven flaming torches, which are the sevenfold Spirit of God. 6 In front of the throne was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal.
In the center, around the throne, were four living beings covered with eyes in front and behind. 7 The first living being was like a lion, the second living being was like an ox, the third living being had a face that looked human, and the fourth living being was like a flying eagle.[a] 8 Each of the four living beings had six wings[b] and was covered with eyes inside and out; and day and night they never stop saying,
“Holy, holy, holy is Adonai, God of heaven’s armies[c]
the One who was, who is and who is coming!”
9 And whenever the living beings give glory, honor and thanks to the One sitting on the throne, to the One who lives forever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before the One sitting on the throne, who lives forever and ever, and worship him. They throw their crowns in front of the throne and say,
11 “You are worthy, Adonai Eloheinu,
to have glory, honor and power,
because you created all things —
yes, because of your will they were created
and came into being!”

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.

Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version
4 Pagkatapos nito ay tumingin ako, at doon sa langit ay may isang pintong nakabukas! Ang unang tinig na narinig kong nagsasalita sa akin ay parang isang trumpeta, na nagsasabi, “Umakyat ka rito at ipakikita ko sa iyo kung ano ang kailangang mangyari pagkatapos ng mga bagay na ito.” 2 At (A) agad akong kinasihan ng espiritu, at doon sa langit ay may isang tronong may nakaupo! 3 At ang nakaupo doon ay nagniningning tulad ng batong jasper at sardio, at sa paligid ng trono ay may bahagharing parang esmeralda. 4 Sa paligid ng trono ay may dalawampu't apat pang trono at sa mga ito ay may nakaupong dalawampu't apat na matatanda na nakaputing damit, at sa kanilang mga ulo ay nakaputong ang mga gintong korona. 5 Mula (B) sa trono ay may nanggagaling na mga siklab ng kidlat, mga ingay at mga dagundong ng kulog. At sa harapan ng trono ay may pitong nag-aapoy na sulo. Ang mga ito'y ang pitong espiritu ng Diyos; 6 at sa (C) (D) harapan ng trono ay may tila dagat na salamin tulad ng kristal.
Sa paligid ng trono, sa bawat gilid nito ay may apat na buháy na nilalang, na puno ng mga mata sa harap at sa likod. 7 Parang leon ang unang buhay na nilalang, isang baka ang katulad ng ikalawa, ang ikatlong nilalang ay may mukhang tulad ng sa tao, at ang ikaapat ay parang isang lumilipad na agila. 8 Ang (E) bawat isa sa apat na nilalang ay may anim na pakpak, sa paligid at loob ay puno ng mga mata. Araw at gabi'y hindi sila tumitigil sa pagsasabi,
“Banal, banal, banal, ang Panginoong Diyos na Makapangyarihan sa lahat, na siyang noon, ngayon, at darating.”
9 At tuwing magbibigay ng kaluwalhatian, karangalan, at pasasalamat ang mga buháy na nilalang sa kanyang nakaupo sa trono, siyang nabubuhay magpakailanman, 10 lumuluhod ang dalawampu't apat na matatanda sa harap ng nakaupo sa trono at sumasamba sa kanyang nabubuhay magpakailanman; at inihahagis nila sa harap ng trono ang kanilang mga korona, na nagsasabi,
11 “Karapat-dapat ka, Panginoon naming Diyos,
na tumanggap ng kaluwalhatian, karangalan, at kapangyarihan,
sapagkat nilikha mo ang lahat ng bagay, at sa pamamagitan ng iyong kalooban,
sila'y nalikha at pinaiiral.”
