Pananambahan sa Langit
4 Pagkatapos kong masaksihan ang mga bagay na ito, nakita ko sa langit ang isang bukás na pinto.
At narinig ko ang tinig na parang tunog ng isang trumpeta, na ang sabi sa akin, “Umakyat ka rito, at ipapakita ko sa iyo kung ano pang mga mangyayari pagkatapos nito.” 2 At(A) agad akong napuspos ng Espiritu, at nakita ko sa langit ang isang trono at ang isang nakaupo roon. 3 Ang anyo niya'y maningning na parang mahahalagang batong jasper at kornalina. May isang bahagharing nagniningning na parang esmeralda sa palibot ng trono. 4 Nakapaligid naman dito ang dalawampu't apat pang trono na sa bawat isa'y may nakaupong matanda na nakadamit ng puti at may koronang ginto sa ulo. 5 Mula(B) sa trono ay gumuguhit ang kidlat, kasabay ng mga ugong at mga kulog. Sa harap ng trono ay may pitong nagniningas na sulo; ito ang pitong espiritu ng Diyos. 6 Sa(C)(D) harap ng trono ay may tila dagat na salamin na sinlinaw ng kristal.
Sa apat na panig ng trono ay may apat na buháy na nilalang, na punung-puno ng mga mata sa kanilang harap at likod. 7 Ang unang buháy na nilalang ay katulad ng leon; katulad naman ng baka ang pangalawa; tulad sa mukha ng tao ang pangatlo; at katulad naman ng agilang lumilipad ang pang-apat. 8 Ang(E) bawat isa ay may tig-aanim na pakpak, at punung-puno ng mga mata sa harap at likod. Walang tigil ang kanilang pag-awit araw at gabi,
“Banal, banal, banal, ang Panginoong Diyos na Makapangyarihan sa lahat,
na siyang nakaraan, kasalukuyan, at darating.”
9 Tuwing umaawit ng pagluwalhati, parangal at pasasalamat ang apat na buháy na nilalang sa nakaupo sa trono, na nabubuhay magpakailanman, 10 ang dalawampu't apat (24) na matatandang pinuno naman ay nagpapatirapa sa harap ng trono at sinasamba ang nakaupo doon, ang nabubuhay magpakailanman. Inilalagay nila ang kanilang korona sa harap ng trono, at sinasabi,
11 “Aming Panginoon at Diyos!
Karapat-dapat kang tumanggap ng kaluwalhatian, karangalan, at kapangyarihan;
sapagkat ikaw ang lumalang sa lahat ng bagay,
at ayon sa iyong kagustuhan, sila'y nagkaroon ng buhay at nalikha.”
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.”
