启示录 4
天上的宝座
1 这些事以后，我观看，看哪，天上有一个敞开的门。我先前所听见的，那如同号角对我说话的声音就说：“你上到这里来！我要把此后必须发生的事指示给你。”
2 我立刻就在灵里了，看哪，有一个宝座安放在天上，有一位坐在宝座上。3 坐着的那一位，t看起来仿佛碧玉和红宝石；又有一道彩虹t围着宝座，看起来仿佛绿宝石。4 座位t的周围，还有二十四个座位t；t在那些宝座上，坐着二十四位长老，身穿白衣，头戴金冠冕；5 从宝座中发出闪电、声音和雷鸣；在宝座前，有七支燃烧着的火把，就是神的七个灵；6 宝座前面，好像玻璃海，仿佛水晶；在宝座中间和宝座周围，有四个活物，遍体前后布满眼睛。7 第一个活物仿佛狮子，第二个活物仿佛牛犊，第三个活物有像人一样的脸，第四个活物仿佛飞翔的鹰。
8 那四个活物，各个都有六个翅膀，遍体内外都布满了眼睛。他们日夜不停地t说：
“圣哉！圣哉！圣哉！t
主、神、全能者，
昔在、今在、将要来临的t那一位！”
9 每当四个活物把荣耀、尊贵和感谢归给坐在宝座上、活到永永远远的那一位时，10 二十四位长老就俯伏在坐宝座的那一位面前，敬拜活到永永远远的那一位，并且把自己的冠冕放在宝座前，说：
11 “我们的主、我们的神哪t，
你配接受荣耀、尊贵和权能，
因为你创造了万有；
万有是因着你的旨意而存在、被创造的。”
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
