Offenbarung 4
Schlachter 1951
Der Thron der göttlichenMajestät, die vierundzwanzig Ältesten und die vier lebendigen Wesen
4 Darnach schaute ich, und siehe, eine Tür war geöffnet im Himmel; und die erste Stimme, die ich gleich einer Posaune mit mir reden gehört hatte, sprach: Steige hier herauf, und ich will dir zeigen, was nach diesem geschehen soll!
2 Und alsbald war ich im Geist; und siehe, ein Thron stand im Himmel, und auf dem Thron saß einer. 3 Und der darauf saß, war anzusehen wie Jaspis- und Sardisstein; und ein Regenbogen war rings um den Thron, anzusehen wie ein Smaragd.
4 Und rings um den Thron waren vierundzwanzig Throne, und auf den Thronen sah ich vierundzwanzig Älteste sitzen, angetan mit weißen Kleidern, und auf ihren Häuptern goldene Kronen.
5 Und von dem Throne gehen Blitze und Stimmen und Donner aus, und sieben Feuerfackeln brennen vor dem Thron; das sind die sieben Geister Gottes. 6 Und vor dem Thron ist es wie ein gläsernes Meer, gleich Kristall.
In der Mitte des Thrones und rings um den Thron sind vier lebendige Wesen, voller Augen vorn und hinten. 7 Und das erste ist gleich einem Löwen, das zweite gleich einem Kalbe, das dritte hat ein Angesicht wie ein Mensch, und das vierte ist gleich einem fliegenden Adler. 8 Und die vier lebendigen Wesen, von denen ein jedes sechs Flügel hat, sind ringsherum und inwendig voller Augen; und sie hören Tag und Nacht nicht auf zu sagen: Heilig, heilig, heilig ist der Herr, Gott der Allmächtige, der da war, und der da ist, und der da kommt!
9 Und so oft die lebendigen Wesen Ruhm und Ehre und Dank darbringen dem, der auf dem Throne sitzt, der da lebt von Ewigkeit zu Ewigkeit, 10 so fallen die vierundzwanzig Ältesten nieder vor dem, der auf dem Throne sitzt, und beten den an, der da lebt von Ewigkeit zu Ewigkeit, und werfen ihre Kronen vor dem Throne nieder und sprechen: 11 Würdig bist du, unser Herr und Gott, zu empfangen den Ruhm und die Ehre und die Macht; denn du hast alle Dinge geschaffen, und durch deinen Willen sind sie und wurden sie geschaffen!
Revelation 4
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:

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.
