Apocalipsis 4
Ang Biblia (1978)
4 Pagkatapos ng mga bagay na ito ay tumingin ako, at narito, ang isang pintong bukas sa langit, at (A)ang unang tinig na aking narinig, na gaya ng sa pakakak, na nakikipagusap sa akin, ay sa isang nagsasabi, Umakyat ka rito, (B)at ipakikita ko sa iyo ang mga bagay na dapat mangyari sa haharapin.
2 Pagdaka'y napasa Espiritu (C)ako: at narito, (D)may isang luklukang nalalagay sa langit, at sa ibabaw ng luklukan ay may isang nakaupo;
3 At ang nakaupo ay katulad ng isang batong (E)jaspe at isang (F)sardio: (G)at naliligid ng isang bahaghari na tulad sa anyo ng isang esmeralda.
4 At sa palibot ng luklukan ay (H)may dalawangpu't apat na luklukan: at sa mga luklukan ay nakita kong nangakaupo ang (I)dalawangpu't apat na matatanda, na (J)nadaramtan ng mapuputing damit; at sa kanilang mga ulo ay may mga putong na ginto.
5 At mula sa luklukan ay may lumalabas na (K)kidlat, at mga tinig at mga kulog. (L)At may pitong ilawang apoy na mga nagliliyab sa harapan ng luklukan, na (M)siyang pitong Espiritu ng Dios;
6 At sa harapan ng luklukan, ay wari na may isang (N)dagat na bubog na katulad ng salamin; (O)at sa gitna ng luklukan, at sa palibot ng luklukan, ay may apat na nilalang na buhay na puno ng mga mata sa harapan at sa likuran.
7 At (P)ang unang nilalang ay katulad ng isang leon, at ang ikalawang nilalang ay katulad ng isang guyang baka, at ang ikatlong nilalang ay may mukhang katulad ng sa isang tao, at ang ikaapat na nilalang ay katulad ng isang agila na lumilipad.
8 At ang apat na nilalang na buhay, na may (Q)anim na pakpak bawa't isa sa kanila, ay mga puno ng mata sa palibot at sa loob; at sila'y walang pahinga araw at gabi, na nagsasabi,
(R)Banal, banal, banal, ang Panginoong Dios, ang Makapangyarihan sa lahat, (S)na nabuhay at nabubuhay at siyang darating.
9 At pagka ang mga nilalang na buhay ay nangagpupuri, at nangagpaparangal at nangagpapasalamat sa nakaupo sa luklukan, doon sa nabubuhay magpakailan kailan man,
10 Ang dalawangpu't apat na matatanda ay mangagpapatirapa sa harapan niyaong nakaupo sa luklukan, at mangagsisisamba doon sa nabubuhay magpakailan kailan man, at ilalagay ang kanilang putong sa harapan ng luklukan na nangagsasabi,
Revelation 4
EasyEnglish Bible
God on his throne
4 After this, I looked. There in front of me was an open door in heaven. I heard the same voice that I had heard before. It spoke like the sound of a trumpet. It said to me, ‘Come up here. I will show you the things that must happen after this.’
2 Immediately God's Spirit caused me to see and to hear more things. I saw a throne in heaven, with someone sitting on it. 3 The person who sat there shone with bright red and white light, like jewels called jasper and ruby. Around the throne there was a rainbow that shone with bright green light like an emerald jewel. 4 All around the throne there were 24 other thrones. 24 leaders were sitting on these thrones. They were wearing white clothes and they had gold crowns on their heads. 5 A storm with bright lightning came from the throne. There was the loud noise of thunder. In front of the throne there were seven lights of fire burning brightly. These lights are the seven spirits of God.[a] 6 Also in front of the throne there was something like a sea of glass that shone with light.
In the middle, round the throne, there were four other beings that were alive. They had eyes all over them, on their fronts and on their backs. 7 The first of these beings was like a lion. The second being was like an ox. The third being had a face like a man's face. And the fourth being was like an eagle that was flying. 8 Each of these four beings had six wings. They had eyes all over them, even under their wings. All day and all night they never stop saying:
‘The Lord God has all power and authority.
He has no bad thing in him. He is completely good.
He has always been alive. He is alive now.
He will continue to be alive for ever.’
9 God sits on the throne and he is alive for ever. The four beings that are alive worship him and they thank him. 10 When they do this, the 24 leaders bend down to the ground. They also worship the Lord God, who sits on the throne and is alive for ever. They put their crowns in front of God's throne, and they praise him. They say:
11 ‘God, our Lord, you are very good!
Everyone should give you honour and say how great and powerful you are!
Everyone should worship you, because you created everything.
You decided to make them and so you made them!
That is why everything in the world is here.’

New International Version
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:
