Apocalypse 4
Segond 21
Sept sceaux 4.1–8.5
Le trône de Dieu
4 Après cela, je regardai et voici, une porte était ouverte dans le ciel. La première voix que j'avais entendue me parler avec la force d’une trompette dit alors: «Monte ici et je te ferai voir ce qui doit arriver par la suite.» 2 Aussitôt je fus saisi par l'Esprit. Et voici, il y avait un trône dans le ciel, et sur ce trône quelqu'un était assis. 3 Celui qui était assis avait l'aspect d'une pierre de jaspe et de sardoine, et le trône était entouré d'un arc-en-ciel semblable à de l'émeraude. 4 Autour du trône se trouvaient vingt-quatre trônes, et sur ces trônes vingt-quatre anciens étaient assis. Ils étaient habillés de vêtements blancs et portaient des couronnes d'or sur la tête.
5 Du trône sortent des éclairs, des voix et des coups de tonnerre, et devant lui brûlent sept lampes ardentes qui sont les sept esprits de Dieu. 6 Devant le trône, il y a aussi comme une mer de verre qui a la transparence du cristal. Au milieu et autour du trône se tiennent quatre êtres vivants couverts d'yeux devant et derrière. 7 Le premier être vivant ressemble à un lion, le deuxième à un taureau, le troisième a le visage d'un homme et le quatrième ressemble à un aigle en plein vol. 8 Les quatre êtres vivants ont chacun six ailes et ils sont couverts d'yeux tout autour et à l’intérieur. Ils ne cessent de dire, jour et nuit: «Saint, saint, saint est le Seigneur[a] Dieu, le Tout-Puissant, celui qui était, qui est et qui vient!»
9 Chaque fois que les êtres vivants donnent gloire, honneur et reconnaissance à celui qui est assis sur le trône, à celui qui vit aux siècles des siècles, 10 les vingt-quatre anciens se prosternent devant celui qui est assis sur le trône, adorent celui qui vit aux siècles des siècles et déposent leur couronne devant le trône en disant: 11 «Tu es digne, notre Seigneur et notre Dieu, [toi le Saint,] de recevoir la gloire, l'honneur et la puissance, car tu as créé toutes choses et c'est par ta volonté qu'elles ont été créées et qu'elles existent.»

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
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。」

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:

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.
