启示录 4

天上的敬拜

1 这些事以后，我观看，见天上有一道门开着；并且有我第一次听见的那个好像号筒的声音，对我说：“你上这里来！我要把以后必定发生的事指示你。”2 立刻，我在灵里，就看见有一个宝座，设立在天上，有一位坐在宝座上。3 那位坐着的，看来好像碧玉和红宝石，又有彩虹围绕着宝座，看来好像绿宝石。4 宝座的周围有二十四个座位，上面坐着二十四位长老，身穿白衣，头戴金冠。5 有闪电、响声、雷轰从宝座中发出；又有七枝火炬在宝座前点着，这就是 神的七灵。6 宝座前有一个看来好像水晶的玻璃海。
在宝座中间和宝座周围有四个活物，前后布满了眼睛。7 第一个活物像狮子，第二个活物像牛犊，第三个活物的脸面像人，第四个活物像飞鹰。8 四个活物各有六个翅膀，里外布满了眼睛。他们昼夜不停地说：
“圣哉！圣哉！圣哉！
主、全能的 神，
昔在、今在、以后要来的那一位。”9 每逢四个活物把荣耀、尊贵、感谢献给那坐在宝座上，活到永永远远的那一位的时候，10 二十四位长老就俯伏在坐在宝座上那一位的面前，敬拜那活到永永远远的，又把他们的冠冕放在宝座前，说：11 “主、我们的 神，
你是配得荣耀、尊贵、权能的，
因为你创造了万有，
万有都是因着你的旨意而存在，而被造的。”

Revelation 4

The Amazing Scene in Heaven

1 After these things I looked, and there wast a door standing open in heaven!t And the first voice I had heard speaking to met like a trumpets said: “Come up here so thatt I can show you what must happen after these things.”2 Immediately I was in the Spirit,t andt a throne was standingt in heaven with someone seated on it!3 And the one seated on it was like jasperts and carnelians in appearance, and a rainbow looking like it was made of emeraldt encircled the throne.4 Int a circle around the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on those thrones were twenty-four elders. They weret dressed in white clothing and had golden crownss on their heads.5 Fromt the throne came out flashes of lightning and roaringt and crashes of thunder. Seven flaming torches, which are the seven spirits of God,s were burning in front of the throne

6 and in front of the throne was something like a sea of glass, like crystal.t
Int the middle of the thronet and around the throne were four living creaturest full of eyes in front and in back.7 Thet first living creature was like a lion, thet second creature like an ox, the third creature had a face like a man’s, and the fourth creature looked like an eagle flying.

8 Each one of the four living creatures had six wingst and was full of eyes all around and inside.t They never rest day or night, saying:t
“Holy Holy Holy is the Lord God, the All-Powerful,ts
Who was and who is, and who is still to come!”
9 And whenever the living creatures give glory, honor,t and thanks to the one who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever,

10 the twenty-four elders throw themselves to the groundt before the one who sits on the throne and worship the one who lives forever and ever, and they offer their crownss before hist throne, saying:

11 “You are worthy, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
since you created all things,
and because of your will they existed and were created!”s
