启示录 4
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
天上的敬拜
4 此后,我再观看,见天上有一扇门开了,又听见刚才那个像号角般响亮的声音对我说:“你上这里来,我要把以后必发生的事指示给你看。” 2 我便立刻被圣灵感动,看见天上安设着一个宝座,有一位坐在宝座上, 3 闪耀着碧玉和红宝石般的光彩。有一道翡翠般的彩虹围绕着宝座。 4 宝座的周围设有二十四个座位,有二十四位长老坐在上面,他们身穿白袍,头戴金冠。 5 从宝座中有闪电、响声、雷鸣发出,宝座前面燃烧着七把火炬,代表[a]上帝的七灵。 6 宝座前还有一个水晶般的玻璃海,宝座的四周有四个活物,他们前后都长满了眼睛。 7 第一个活物像狮子,第二个像牛犊,第三个有人的面孔,第四个像飞鹰。 8 这四个活物各有三对翅膀,翅膀内外都长满眼睛。他们昼夜不停地说:
“圣哉!圣哉!圣哉!
主上帝是昔在、今在、
以后永在的全能者。”
9 每逢这些活物将荣耀、尊贵、感谢献给坐在宝座上、活到永永远远的那位时, 10 二十四位长老就俯伏在坐宝座的那位面前,敬拜那位永活者,又摘下他们头上的冠冕,放在宝座前,说:
11 “我们的主,我们的上帝,
你配得荣耀、尊贵和权能,
因你创造了万物,
万物都因你的旨意被创造而存在。”

Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
约翰看到天堂
4 此后,在我面前,我看见天堂有一扇敞开的门。我以前听到过的那个号角般的声音对我说∶“你上到这里来,我要把今后必将发生的事情展示给你。” 2 我立刻就受到灵的支配。在我面前是天堂里的一个宝座。宝座上端坐着一位, 3 他的面容像碧玉和红宝石一样闪耀,宝座四周被一条绿宝石似的彩虹围绕着。 4 宝座周围还有二十四个宝座,二十四位长老坐在上面。他们身穿白衣,头戴金冠。 5 宝座闪闪发光,隆隆作响,电闪雷鸣。宝座前有七支熊熊燃烧的火把,它们是上帝的七个灵。 6 宝座前如同一片晶莹透亮的玻璃海。
宝座正前方和其它三侧,有四个生物。它们胸前背后长满了眼睛。 7 第一个生物像狮子。第二个像公牛,第三个有一副人脸,第四个像飞鹰。 8 四个生物都有六个翅膀,浑身上下长满了眼睛。它们日夜不停地说着:
“主,全能的上帝,
神圣,神圣,神圣,
昔日、现在、未来,他永在。”
9 每当这些生物把荣耀、尊崇和感谢献给坐在宝座上永生不朽的那位时, 10 二十四名长老 [a]就匍伏在宝座上永生的那位面前,敬拜那位万寿无疆的他。他们把自己的王冠放到宝座前,说:
11 “主,我们的上帝,
荣耀、尊崇和权力,
你受之无愧,
因为您创造了万物,
万物因为您的旨意,
才得以存在和受造。”

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。」

Revelation 4
New American Standard Bible
Scene in Heaven
4 After (A)these things I looked, and behold, (B)a door standing open in heaven, and the first voice which I had heard, (C)like the sound of a trumpet speaking with me, said, “(D)Come up here, and I will (E)show you what must take place after these things.” 2 Immediately I was (F)in the [a]Spirit; and behold, (G)a throne was standing in heaven, and (H)someone was sitting on the throne. 3 And He who was sitting was like a (I)jasper stone and a (J)sardius in appearance; and there was a [b](K)rainbow around the throne, like an (L)emerald in appearance. 4 (M)Around the throne were (N)twenty-four thrones; and upon the thrones I saw (O)twenty-four elders (P)sitting, clothed in (Q)white garments, and (R)golden crowns on their heads.
The Throne and Worship of the Creator
5 Out from the throne *came (S)flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder. And there were (T)seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are [c](U)the seven spirits of God; 6 and before the throne there was something like a (V)sea of glass, like crystal; and in the [d]center and (W)around the throne, (X)four living creatures (Y)full of eyes in front and behind. 7 (Z)The first living creature was like a lion, the second creature like a calf, the third creature had a face like that of a man, and the fourth creature was like a flying eagle. 8 And the (AA)four living creatures, each one of them having (AB)six wings, are (AC)full of eyes around and within; and (AD)day and night [e]they do not cease to say,
“(AE)Holy, holy, holy is the (AF)Lord God, the Almighty, (AG)who was and who is and who [f]is to come.”
9 And when the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to Him who (AH)sits on the throne, to (AI)Him who lives forever and ever, 10 the (AJ)twenty-four elders will (AK)fall down before Him who (AL)sits on the throne, and they will worship (AM)Him who lives forever and ever, and will cast their (AN)crowns before the throne, saying,
11 “(AO)Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You (AP)created all things, and because of Your will they [g]existed, and were created.”
