新約--啟示錄(Revelation) -- 第4章
4：1 此后，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，你上到這里來，我要將以后必成的事指示你。
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 hither， and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
4：2 我立刻被圣靈感動，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.
4：3 看那坐著的，好像碧玉和紅寶石。又有虹圍著寶座，好像綠寶石。
And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone： and there was a rainbow round about the throne， in sight like unto an emerald.
4：4 寶座的周圍，又有二十四個座位，其上坐著二十四位長老，身穿白衣，頭上戴著金冠冕。
And round about the throne were four and twenty seats： and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting， clothed in white raiment； and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
4：5 有閃電，聲音，雷轟，從寶座中發出。又有七盞火燈在寶座前點著，這七燈就是神的七靈。
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.
4：6 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，前后遍體都滿了眼睛。
And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal： and in the midst of the throne， and round about the throne， were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
4：7 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 beast was like a lion， and the second beast like a calf， and the third beast had a face as a man， and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.
4：8 四活物各有六個翅膀，遍體內外都滿了眼睛。他們晝夜不住的說，圣哉，圣哉，圣哉，主神。是昔在今在以后永在的全能者。
And the four beasts 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， which was， and is， and is to come.
4：9 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，And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne， who liveth for ever and ever，
4：10 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，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，
4：11 我們的主，我們的神，你是配得榮耀尊貴權柄的。因為你創造了萬物，并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.
