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 all this I looked and saw a door in Heaven standing open, and the voice that I had previously heard, which resembled the blast of a trumpet, again spoke to me and said, "Come up here, and I will show you things which are to happen in the future."
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 found myself in the Spirit, and saw a throne in Heaven, and some 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。
The appearance of Him who sat there was like jasper or sard; and encircling the throne was a rainbow, in appearance 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 there were also twenty-four other thrones, on which sat twenty-four Elders clothed in white robes, with victors' wreaths of gold upon 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。
Out from the throne there came flashes of lightning, and voices, and peals of thunder, while in front of the throne seven blazing lamps were burning, 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 seemed to be a sea of glass, resembling crystal. And midway between the throne and the Elders, and surrounding the throne, were four living creatures, full of eyes in front 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。
The first living creature resembled a lion, the second an ox, the third had a face like that of a man, and the fourth resembled an eagle flying.
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 each of the four living creatures had six wings, and in every direction, and within, are full of eyes; and day after day, and night after night, they never cease saying, "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God, the Ruler of all, who wast and art and evermore shalt be."
And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who is seated on the throne, and lives until the Ages of the Ages, (aiōn g165)
the twenty-four Elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives until the Ages of the Ages, and they cast their wreaths down in front of the throne, (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。
saying, "It is fitting, O our Lord and God, That we should ascribe unto Thee the glory and the honor and the power; For Thou didst create all things, And because it was Thy will they came into existence, and were created."
