Apocalipsis 4
Biblia del Jubileo
4 ¶ Después de estas cosas miré, y he aquí una puerta abierta en el cielo; y la primera voz que oí, era como de trompeta que hablaba conmigo, diciendo: Sube acá, y yo te mostraré las cosas que es necesario que sean hechas después de éstas.
2 Y luego yo fui en espíritu; y he aquí, un trono que estaba puesto en el cielo, y sobre el trono estaba uno sentado.
3 Y el que estaba sentado, era al parecer semejante a una piedra de Jaspe y de Sardónice; y un arco del cielo estaba alrededor del trono, semejante en el aspecto a la esmeralda.
4 Y alrededor del trono había veinticuatro tronos; y vi sobre los tronos veinticuatro ancianos sentados, vestidos de ropas blancas; y tenían sobre sus cabezas coronas de oro.
5 Y del trono salían relámpagos y truenos y voces; y siete lámparas de fuego estaban ardiendo delante del trono, las cuales son los siete Espíritus de Dios.
6 Y delante del trono había como un mar de color de vidrio semejante al cristal; y en medio del trono, y alrededor del trono, cuatro animales llenos de ojos delante y detrás.
7 Y el primer animal era semejante a un león; y el segundo animal, semejante a un becerro, y el tercer animal tenía el rostro como de hombre; y el cuarto animal, semejante a un águila volando.
8 ¶ Y los cuatro animales tenían cada uno por sí seis alas alrededor; y de dentro estaban llenos de ojos; y no cesaban día ni noche, diciendo: Santo, Santo, Santo el Señor Dios Todopoderoso, el que era, y que es, y que ha de venir.
9 Y cuando aquellos animales dan gloria y honra y alabanza al que está sentado en el trono, al que vive para siempre jamás;
10 los veinticuatro ancianos se postran delante del que está sentado en el trono, y adoraban al que vive para siempre jamás; y echan sus coronas delante del trono, diciendo:
11 Señor, digno eres de recibir gloria y honra y virtud, porque tú creaste todas las cosas, y por tu voluntad tienen ser y fueron creadas.
Apocalipsis 4
Traducción en lenguaje actual
La alabanza en el cielo
4 Después de esto, vi una puerta abierta en el cielo. Entonces la voz que había escuchado al principio, y que resonaba tan fuerte como una trompeta, me dijo: «¡Acércate!, voy a enseñarte lo que está por suceder.»
2 En ese mismo instante quedé bajo el poder del Espíritu Santo, y vi un trono en el cielo. Sobre el trono estaba sentado alguien 3 que brillaba como un diamante o como un rubí. Alrededor del trono, un arco iris brillaba como una esmeralda. 4 Había también otros veinticuatro tronos, los cuales formaban un círculo, y en ellos estaban sentados veinticuatro ancianos.[a] Esos ancianos estaban vestidos con ropas blancas, y tenían una corona de oro en la cabeza. 5 Del trono salían ruidos, truenos y relámpagos, y delante del trono ardían siete antorchas, que son los siete espíritus de Dios.[b] 6 Delante del trono había también algo que era transparente como el cristal, y que parecía un mar.
En el centro del círculo, alrededor del trono, había cuatro seres vivientes que tenían ojos en todo el cuerpo, por delante y por detrás. 7 El primero de ellos parecía un león; el segundo parecía un toro; el tercero parecía un ser humano, y el cuarto parecía un águila en pleno vuelo. 8 Cada uno de estos seres vivientes tenía seis alas, y ojos por todos lados, y no dejaban de cantar de día y de noche:
«¡Santo, santo,
santo es el Señor,
Dios todopoderoso,
que siempre ha vivido,
que vive, y pronto vendrá!»
9-10 Estos cuatro seres vivientes cantan y dan gracias al que está sentado en el trono y vive para siempre. En sus cantos dicen lo maravilloso, poderoso y digno que es él de recibir honores. Cada vez que hacen esto, los veinticuatro ancianos se arrodillan delante de él, lo adoran y, arrojando sus coronas delante del trono, cantan:
11 «Señor y Dios nuestro;
tú mereces que te alaben,
que te llamen maravilloso,
y que admiren tu poder.
»Porque tú creaste todo lo que existe;
gracias a ti, todo fue creado.»

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.”

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:

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.
