Apocalipsis 4
Nueva Traducción Viviente
Adoración en el cielo
4 Entonces, mientras miraba, vi una puerta abierta en el cielo, y la misma voz que había escuchado antes me habló como un toque de trompeta. La voz dijo: «Sube aquí, y te mostraré lo que tiene que suceder después de esto». 2 Y al instante, yo estaba en el Espíritu[a] y vi un trono en el cielo y a alguien sentado en él. 3 El que estaba sentado en el trono brillaba como piedras preciosas: como el jaspe y la cornalina. El brillo de una esmeralda rodeaba el trono como un arco iris. 4 Lo rodeaban veinticuatro tronos en los cuales estaban sentados veinticuatro ancianos. Todos vestían de blanco y tenían una corona de oro sobre la cabeza. 5 Del trono salían relámpagos y estruendo de truenos. Delante del trono había siete antorchas con llamas encendidas; esto es el Espíritu de Dios de siete aspectos.[b] 6 Delante del trono también había un mar de vidrio brillante, reluciente como el cristal.
En el centro y alrededor del trono había cuatro seres vivientes, cada uno cubierto de ojos por delante y por detrás. 7 El primero de esos seres vivientes era semejante a un león, el segundo era como un buey, el tercero tenía cara humana, y el cuarto era como un águila en vuelo. 8 Cada uno de los seres vivientes tenía seis alas, y las alas estaban totalmente cubiertas de ojos por dentro y por fuera. Día tras día y noche tras noche repiten continuamente:
«Santo, santo, santo es el Señor Dios, el Todopoderoso,
el que siempre fue, que es, y que aún está por venir».
9 Cada vez que los seres vivientes dan gloria, honor y gracias al que está sentado en el trono (el que vive por siempre y para siempre), 10 los veinticuatro ancianos se postran y adoran al que está sentado en el trono (el que vive por siempre y para siempre), y ponen sus coronas delante del trono, diciendo:
11 «Tú eres digno, oh Señor nuestro Dios,
de recibir gloria y honor y poder.
Pues tú creaste todas las cosas,
y existen porque tú las creaste según tu voluntad».
Revelation 4
New Matthew Bible
He sees heaven open, and the seat, and one sitting upon it, and 24 seats around it with 24 elders sitting upon them, and four creatures praising God day and night.
4 After this I looked, and behold, a door was open in heaven, and the first voice that I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me, which said, Come up here, and I will show you things that must be fulfilled hereafter. 2 And immediately I was in the Spirit, and behold, a seat was put in heaven, and one sat on the seat. 3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper stone and a sardine stone. And there was a rainbow about the seat, in sight like an emerald. 4 And around the seat were 24 seats, and upon the seats 24 elders sitting clothed in white raiment, and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
5 And out of the seat proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices. And there were seven lamps of fire burning before the seat, which are the seven spirits of God. 6 And before the seat there was a sea of glass like a crystal, and in the midst of the seat, and round about the seat, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and behind. 7 And the first creature was like a lion, the second creature like a calf, and the third creature had a face as of a man, and the fourth creature was like a flying eagle. 8 And the four creatures had each one of them six wings about him, and they were full of eyes within. And they had no rest day or night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!
9 And when those creatures gave glory and honour and thanks to him who sat on the seat, who lives forever and ever, 10 the 24 elders fell down before him who sat on the throne and worshipped him who lives forever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 11 You are worthy, Lord, to receive glory and honour and power, for you have created all things, and for your will’s sake they exist and were created.
Revelation 4
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.
