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 opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up here, and I will show thee things which must be 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。
And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat 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。
And he that sat was in appearance like a jasper and a sardius stone: and there was a rainbow around the throne, in sight 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。
And around the throne were four and twenty thrones: and upon the thrones I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
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。
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 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。
And in front of the throne there was a sea of glass like crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living beings full of eyes before and behind.
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。
And the first living being was like a lion, and the second living being like a calf, and the third living being had a face as a man, and the fourth living being was like a flying eagle.
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。
And the four living beings 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, who was, and is, and is to come.
And when those living beings give glory and honour and thanks to him that is seated on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, (aiōn g165)
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, (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。
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.
