啟示錄 4
1 此後，我觀看，見天上有門開了。我初次聽見好像吹號的聲音，對我說：「你上到這裏來，我要將以後必成的事指示你。」
After this I looked, and behold, a door was standing open in heaven! And the voice I had previously heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show yoʋ what must take place after this.”
2 我立刻被聖靈感動，見有一個寶座安置在天上，又有一位坐在寶座上。
Immediately I was in the Spirit, and behold, there was a throne in heaven, with one sitting on the throne,
3 看那坐着的，好像碧玉和紅寶石；又有虹圍着寶座，好像綠寶石。
like jasper and carnelian in appearance. And around the throne was a rainbow that looked like an emerald.
4 寶座的周圍又有二十四個座位；其上坐着二十四位長老，身穿白衣，頭上戴着金冠冕。
Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and sitting on the thrones were the twenty-four elders. They were clothed in white garments and had golden crowns on their heads.
5 有閃電、聲音、雷轟從寶座中發出；又有七盞火燈在寶座前點着；這七燈就是上帝的七靈。
From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings, and peals of thunder, and there were seven flaming torches burning before the throne; these are the seven spirits of God.
6 寶座前好像一個玻璃海，如同水晶。 寶座中和寶座周圍有四個活物，前後遍體都滿了眼睛。
Also before the throne was something like a sea of glass that looked like crystal. Around the throne on each side were four living creatures, full of eyes in front and in back.
7 第一個活物像獅子，第二個像牛犢，第三個臉面像人，第四個像飛鷹。
The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature was like a calf, the third living creature had the face of a man, and the fourth living creature was like an eagle in flight.
8 四活物各有六個翅膀，遍體內外都滿了眼睛。他們晝夜不住地說： 聖哉！聖哉！聖哉！ 主上帝是昔在、今在、 以後永在的全能者。
Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around and within. Day and night they never stop saying, “Holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come.”
And whenever the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever, (aiōn g165)
the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne and say, (aiōn g165)
11 我們的主，我們的上帝， 你是配得榮耀、尊貴、權柄的； 因為你創造了萬物， 並且萬物是因你的旨意被創造而有的。
“Yoʋ are worthy, our Lord and God, the Holy One, to receive glory, honor, and power; for yoʋ created all things, and by yoʋr will they came into existence and were created.”
