啟示錄 4
1 這些事以後，我看見天上有一個門開了，並且有我初次聽見，那同我說話像似號角的聲音，說：「你上到這裏來，我要指示給你，這些事以後必須要發生的事。」
After these things I saw, and behold, a door opened in the sky, and the first voice that I heard—as of a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you what must come to pass after these things”;
2 我立刻神魂超拔了。看，在天上安置了一個寶座，有一位坐在那寶座上的。
and immediately I was in [the] Spirit, and behold, a throne was set in Heaven, and on the throne is [One] sitting,
3 那位坐著的，看來好似水蒼玉和紅瑪瑙；圍繞寶座的虹霓，看來好似翡翠。
and He who is sitting was in appearance like a stone, jasper and sardine: and a rainbow was around the throne in appearance like an emerald.
4 寶座周圍還有二十四個寶座，寶座上坐著二十四位長老：身穿白衣，頭戴金冠。
And around the throne [are] twenty-four thrones, and sitting on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders, having been clothed in white garments, and on their heads golden garlands;
5 有閃電、響聲和雷霆從那寶座發出來；在寶座前還燃著七個火炬，那就是天主的七神。
and out of the throne proceed lightnings, and thunders, and voices; and seven lamps of fire are burning before the throne, which are the Seven Spirits of God,
6 寶座前面有如玻璃海，彷彿水晶；在寶座每一面當中，在寶座周圍，有四個活物，前後都滿了眼睛：
and before the throne—a sea of glass like to crystal, and in the midst of the throne, and around the throne—four living creatures, full of eyes before and behind;
7 第一個活物像獅子，第二個活物像牛犢，第三個活物面貌像人，第四個活物像飛鷹。
and the first living creature—like a lion; and the second living creature—like a calf; and the third living creature has the face as a man; and the fourth living creature—like an eagle flying.
8 那四個活物，個個都有六個翅膀，周圍內外都滿了眼睛，日夜不停的說：「聖！聖！聖！上主，全能的天主，是昔在、今在、及將來永在者。」
And the four living creatures, one by one of them had six wings respectively, around and within [are] full of eyes, and they have no rest day and night, saying, “HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, the LORD God, the Almighty, who was, and who is, and who is coming”;
and when the living creatures give glory, and honor, and thanksgiving, to the [One] sitting on the throne, the [One] living through the ages of the ages, (aiōn g165)
the twenty-four elders will fall down before the [One] sitting on the throne, and worship the [One] living through the ages of the ages, and they will cast their garlands before the throne, saying, (aiōn g165)
11 上主，我們的天主！你是堪享光榮、尊威和權能的，因為你創造了萬物，萬物都是因了你的旨意而存在，而造成的。」
“Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive the glory, and the honor, and the power, because You created all things, and because of Your will they existed and were created.”
