啟示錄 4
Chinese Standard Bible (Traditional)
天上的寶座
4 這些事以後,我觀看,看哪,天上有一個敞開的門。我先前所聽見的,那如同號角對我說話的聲音就說:「你上到這裡來!我要把此後必須發生的事指示給你。」
2 我立刻就在靈裡了,看哪,有一個寶座安放在天上,有一位坐在寶座上。 3 坐著的那一位,[a]看起來彷彿碧玉和紅寶石;又有一道彩虹[b]圍著寶座,看起來彷彿綠寶石。 4 座位[c]的周圍,還有二十四個座位[d];[e]在那些寶座上,坐著二十四位長老,身穿白衣,頭戴金冠冕; 5 從寶座中發出閃電、聲音和雷鳴;在寶座前,有七支燃燒著的火把,就是神的七個靈; 6 寶座前面,好像玻璃海,彷彿水晶;在寶座中間和寶座周圍,有四個活物,遍體前後布滿眼睛。 7 第一個活物彷彿獅子,第二個活物彷彿牛犢,第三個活物有像人一樣的臉,第四個活物彷彿飛翔的鷹。 8 那四個活物,各個都有六個翅膀,遍體內外都布滿了眼睛。他們日夜不停地[f]說:
9 每當四個活物把榮耀、尊貴和感謝歸給坐在寶座上、活到永永遠遠的那一位時, 10 二十四位長老就俯伏在坐寶座的那一位面前,敬拜活到永永遠遠的那一位,並且把自己的冠冕放在寶座前,說:
11 「我們的主、我們的神哪[i],
你配接受榮耀、尊貴和權能,
因為你創造了萬有;
萬有是因著你的旨意而存在、被創造的。」

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:

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.”
