Revelation 4
Worldwide English (New Testament)
4 After this, I looked and saw a door open in heaven. I heard the same voice that I had heard before. It was like the sound of a horn or trumpet. It said, `Come up here. I will show you the things that must happen after this.'
2 Right away, I was in the Spirit. I saw a throne or chief chair in heaven.
3 The one who sat on the throne looked very fine and bright. He looked like fine stones called jasper and carnelian. All around his chair was a rainbow that looked like a fine stone called emerald.
4 Around his throne I saw twenty-four other thrones. On them sat twenty-four leaders. They wore white clothes and had gold crowns on their heads.
5 From the throne came lightning, loud noises, and thunder. In front of the throne, seven bright lamps were burning. These lamps are the seven Spirits of God.
6 In front of the throne, it was like a sea of glass. It looked like a stone called crystal. Around the throne on the four sides of it were four living beings. They had many eyes in their faces and in their back.
7 The first living thing was like a lion. The second one was like a young cow. The third one had the face of a man. The fourth one was like a flying eagle.
8 Each of the four living beings had six wings. They had many eyes all over their bodies and under their wings. They say all the time, day and night: `Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God. He has all power. He always has lived. He lives now. And he always will live.'
9 The living beings give praise and honour and thanks to the one who sits on the throne and lives for ever and ever.
10 Every time they do this, the twenty-four leaders kneel down in front of the one who sits on the throne. And they worship the one who lives for ever and ever. They take the crowns off their heads and lay them down in front of his throne.
11 They say: `Our Lord and God, it is right for you to have praise and honour and power. You made all things. They were made and have life because you wanted them.'

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.»

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:
