Revelation 4

1 After this I looked and saw a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had previously heard speak to me like a trumpet was saying, “Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after these things.”

1 此后，我再观看，见天上有一扇门开了，又听见之前那个像号角般响亮的声音对我说：“你上这里来，我要把以后必发生的事指示给你看。”

2 At once I was in the Spirit, and I saw a throne standing in heaven, with someone seated on it.

2 我便立刻被圣灵感动，看见天上安设着一个宝座，有一位坐在宝座上，

3 The One seated there looked like jasper and carnelian, and a rainbow that gleamed like an emerald encircled the throne.

3 闪耀着碧玉和红宝石般的光彩。有一道翡翠般的彩虹围绕着宝座。

4 Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and on these thrones sat twenty-four elders dressed in white, with golden crowns on their heads.

4 宝座的周围设有二十四个座位，有二十四位长老身穿白衣，头戴金冠，坐在上面。

5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings, and peals of thunder. Before the throne burned seven torches of fire. These are the seven spirits of God.

5 从宝座发出闪电、响声、雷鸣，宝座前面燃烧着七把火炬，代表 上帝的七灵。

6 And before the throne was something like a sea of glass, as clear as crystal. In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, covered with eyes in front and back.

6 宝座前还有一个水晶般的玻璃海，宝座的四周环绕着四个活物，他们前后都长满了眼睛。

7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second like a calf, the third had a face like a man, and the fourth was like an eagle in flight.

7 第一个活物像狮子，第二个像牛犊，第三个有人的面孔，第四个像飞鹰。

8 And 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, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!”

8 这四个活物各有三对翅膀，翅膀内外都长满眼睛。他们昼夜不停地说： “圣哉！圣哉！圣哉！ 主上帝是昔在、今在、 以后永在的全能者。”

9 And whenever the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to the One seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever,

9 每逢这些活物将荣耀、尊贵、感谢献给坐在宝座上、活到永永远远的那位时，

10 the twenty-four elders fall down before the One seated on the throne, and they worship Him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying:

10 二十四位长老就俯伏在坐宝座的那位面前，敬拜活到永永远远的那位，又把他们的冠冕放在宝座前，说：

11 “Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things; by Your will they exist and were created.”

11 “我们的主，我们的上帝， 你配得荣耀、尊贵和权能， 因你创造了万物， 万物都因你的旨意被创造而存在。”
