Revelation 4

1 After these things I saw, and behold, a door opened in heaven, and the first voice which I heard, [a voice] as of a trumpet speaking with me, one saying, Come up hither, and I will shew thee the things which must come to pass hereafter.

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。」

2 Straightway I was in the Spirit: and behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting upon the throne;

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。

3 and he that sat [was] to look upon like a jasper stone and a sardius: and [there was] a rainbow round about the throne, like an emerald to look upon.

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。

4 And round about the throne [were] four and twenty thrones: and upon the thrones [I saw] four and twenty elders sitting, arrayed in white garments; and on their heads crowns of gold.

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。

5 And out of the throne proceed lightnings and voices and thunders. And [there were] seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God;

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。

6 and before the throne, as it were a glassy sea like unto crystal; and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, four living creatures full of eyes before and behind.

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。

7 And the first creature [was] like a lion, and the second creature like a calf, and the third creature had a face as of a man, and the fourth creature [was] like a flying eagle.

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。

8 And the four living creatures, having each one of them six wings, are full of eyes round about and within: and they have no rest day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, [is] the Lord God, the Almighty, which was and which is and which is to come.

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。

9 And when the living creatures shall give glory and honour and thanks to him that sitteth on the throne, to him that liveth for ever and ever, (aiōn g165)

每逢四活物將榮耀、尊貴、感謝歸給那坐在寶座上、活到永永遠遠者的時候， (aiōn g165)

10 the four and twenty elders shall fall down before him that sitteth on the throne, and shall worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and shall cast their crowns before the throne, saying, (aiōn g165)

那二十四位長老就俯伏在坐寶座的面前敬拜那活到永永遠遠的，又把他們的冠冕放在寶座前，說： (aiōn g165)

11 Worthy art thou, our Lord and our God, to receive the glory and the honour and the power: for thou didst create all things, and because of thy will they were, and were created.

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。
