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，我观看，见天上有门开了。我初次听见好像吹号的声音，对我说：「你上到这里来，我要将以后必成的事指示你。」

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

2 我立刻被圣灵感动，见有一个宝座安置在天上，又有一位坐在宝座上。

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

3 看那坐着的，好像碧玉和红宝石；又有虹围着宝座，好像绿宝石。

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 宝座的周围又有二十四个座位；其上坐着二十四位长老，身穿白衣，头上戴着金冠冕。

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 有闪电、声音、雷轰从宝座中发出；又有七盏火灯在宝座前点着；这七灯就是 神的七灵。

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 宝座前好像一个玻璃海，如同水晶。 宝座中和宝座周围有四个活物，前后遍体都满了眼睛。

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，第三个脸面像人，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 四活物各有六个翅膀，遍体内外都满了眼睛。他们昼夜不住地说： 圣哉！圣哉！圣哉！ 主 神是昔在、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 每逢四活物将荣耀、尊贵、感谢归给那坐在宝座上、活到永永远远者的时候，

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 那二十四位长老就俯伏在坐宝座的面前敬拜那活到永永远远的，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 神， 你是配得荣耀、尊贵、权柄的； 因为你创造了万物， 并且万物是因你的旨意被创造而有的。
