Revelation 4
Maori Bible
4 Muri iho i enei mea ka kite ahau, na, he tatau kua oti te whakapuare i te rangi, a ko te reo tuatahi i rongo ai ahau me te mea he reo no tetahi tetere e ki mai ana ki ahau, e mea ana, Haere mai ki runga nei, a ka whakakitea e ahau ki a koe nga me a kua takoto mo muri i enei.
2 I reira pu ano kua nohoia ahau e te Wairua: na, he torona kua tu ki te rangi, a ko tetahi i runga i te torona e noho ana;
3 A ko tera i noho ra rite tonu ki te titiro atu ki te kohatu hahapa, ki te harariu: he aniwaniwa hoki i nga taha katoa o te torona, ko te ahua ki te titiro atu kei to te emerara.
4 Na i nga taha katoa o te torona etahi torona e rua tekau ma wha: a ka kite ahau i runga i nga torona ko nga kaumatua e rua tekau ma wha e noho ana, he mea whakakakahu ki te kakahu ma; he karauna koura i runga i o ratou matenga.
5 Na ka puta mai i roto i te torona he uira, he reo, he whatitiri. A tera nga rama ahi e whitu e ka ana i mua i te torona; ko nga Wairua e whitu enei o te Atua;
6 I mua i te torona ano he moana karaihe, te rite kei te haupapa: a i waenganui o te torona, i nga taha katoa ano o te torona, ko nga mea ora e wha, kapi tonu a mua, a muri o ratou i te kanohi.
7 Ko te tuatahi o nga mea ora i rite ki te raiona, ko te tuarua o nga mea ora i rite ki te kuao kau, ko te mata o te tuatoru o nga mea ora i rite ki to te tangata, a ko te tuawha o nga mea ora i rite ki te ekara e rere ana.
8 Na, ko aua mea ora e wha, he parirau o ratou, e ono o tena, o tena, i nga taha katoa; ki tonu hoki a roto o ratou me nga taha i te kanohi: a kahore he tanga i te ao, i te po, he mea tonu ta ratou, Tapu, tapu, tapu, te Ariki, te Atua Kaha Rawa, i mua nei ia, tenei ano inaianei, a e haere mai nei.
9 A i te mea ka hoatu e nga mea ora te kororia, te honore, te whakawhetai ki tera e noho ana i runga i te torona, e ora ana ake ake,
10 Ka hinga iho nga kaumatua e rua tekau ma wha ki te aroaro o tera e noho ra i runga i te torona, na ka koropiko ki a ia e ora tonu nei ake ake, ka panga hoki i o ratou karauna ki mua o te torona, ka mea,
11 Tika tonu, e te Ariki, kia riro i a koe te kororia, me te honore, me te kaha: nau hoki i hanga nga mea katoa, a nau i pai i takoto ai aua mea, i hanga ai.
啟示錄 4
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。」

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:

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.”
