요한계시록 4

1이 일 후에 내가 보니 하늘에 열린 문이 있는데 내가 들은 바 처음에 내게 말하던 나팔 소리 같은 그 음성이 가로되 이리로 올라오라 이 후에 마땅히 될 일을 내가 네게 보이리라 하시더라 2내가 곧 성령에 감동하였더니 보라 하늘에 보좌를 베풀었고 그 보좌 위에 앉으신 이가 있는데 3앉으신 이의 모양이 벽옥과 홍보석 같고 또 무지개가 있어 보좌에 둘렸는데 그 모양이 녹보석 같더라 4또 보좌에 둘려 이십사 보좌들이 있고 그 보좌들 위에 이십사 장로들이 흰 옷을 입고 머리에 금 면류관을 쓰고 앉았더라 5보좌로부터 번개와 음성과 뇌성이 나고 보좌 앞에 일곱 등불 켠 것이 있으니 이는 하나님의 일곱 영이라 6보좌 앞에 수정과 같은 유리 바다가 있고 보좌 가운데와 보좌 주위에 네 생물이 있는데 앞 뒤에 눈이 가득하더라 7그 첫째 생물은 사자 같고 그 둘째 생물은 송아지 같고 그 셋째 생물은 얼굴이 사람 같고 그 넷째 생물은 날아가는 독수리 같은데 8네 생물이 각각 여섯 날개가 있고 그 안과 주위에 눈이 가득하더라 그들이 밤낮 쉬지 않고 이르기를 거룩하다 거룩하다 거룩하다 주 하나님 곧 전능하신 이여 전에도 계셨고 이제도 계시고 장차 오실 자라 하고 9그 생물들이 영광과 존귀와 감사를 보좌에 앉으사 세세토록 사시는 이에게 돌릴 때에 10이십사 장로들이 보좌에 앉으신 이 앞에 엎드려 세세토록 사시는 이에게 경배하고 자기의 면류관을 보좌 앞에 던지며 가로되 11우리 주 하나님이여 영광과 존귀와 능력을 받으시는 것이 합당하오니 주께서 만물을 지으신지라 만물이 주의 뜻대로 있었고 또 지으심을 받았나이다 하더라

1After these things I looked and saw a door opened in heaven, and the first voice that I heard, like a trumpet speaking with me, was one saying, “Come up here, and I will show you the things which must happen after this.” 2Immediately I was in the Spirit. Behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting on the throne 3that looked like a jasper stone and a sardius. There was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald to look at. 4Around the throne were twenty-four thrones. On the thrones were twenty-four elders sitting, dressed in white garments, with crowns of gold on their heads. 5Out of the throne proceed lightnings, sounds, and thunders. There were seven lamps of fire burning before his throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. 6Before the throne was something like a sea of glass, similar to crystal. In the midst of the throne, and around the throne were four living creatures full of eyes before and behind. 7The first creature was like a lion, and the second creature like a calf, and the third creature had a face like a man, and the fourth was like a flying eagle. 8The four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within. They have no rest day and night, saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come!” 9When the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to him who sits on the throne, to him who lives forever and ever, 10the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne, and worship him who lives forever and ever, and throw their crowns before the throne, saying, 11“Worthy are you, our Lord and God, the Holy One, to receive the glory, the honor, and the power, for you created all things, and because of your desire they existed, and were created!”

1Na dezen zag ik, en ziet, een deur was geopend in den hemel; en de eerste stem, die ik gehoord had, als van een bazuin, met mij sprekende, zeide: Kom hier op, en Ik zal u tonen, hetgeen na dezen geschieden moet. 2En terstond werd ik in den geest; en ziet, er was een troon gezet in den hemel, en er zat Een op den troon. 3En Die daarop zat, was in het aanzien den steen Jaspis en Sardius gelijk; en een regenboog was rondom den troon, in het aanzien der steen Smaragd gelijk. 4En rondom den troon waren vier en twintig tronen; en op de tronen zag ik de vier en twintig ouderlingen zittende, bekleed met witte klederen, en zij hadden gouden kronen op hun hoofden. 5En van den troon gingen uit bliksemen, en donderslagen, en stemmen; en zeven vurige lampen waren brandende voor den troon, welke zijn de zeven geesten Gods. 6En voor den troon was een glazen zee, kristal gelijk. En in het midden des troons, en rondom den troon, vier dieren, zijnde vol ogen van voren en van achteren. 7En het eerste dier was een leeuw gelijk, en het tweede dier een kalf gelijk, en het derde dier had het aangezicht als een mens, en het vierde dier was een vliegenden arend gelijk. 8En de vier dieren hadden elkeen voor zichzelven zes vleugelen rondom, en waren van binnen vol ogen; en hebben geen rust dag en nacht, zeggende: Heilig, heilig, heilig is de Heere God, de Almachtige, Die was, en Die is, en Die komen zal. 9En wanneer de dieren heerlijkheid, en eer, en dankzegging gaven Hem, Die op den troon zat, Die in alle eeuwigheid leeft; 10Zo vielen de vier en twintig ouderlingen voor Hem, Die op den troon zat, en aanbaden Hem, Die leeft in alle eeuwigheid, en wierpen hun kronen voor den troon, zeggende: 11Gij Heere, zijt waardig te ontvangen de heerlijkheid, en de eer, en de kracht; want Gij hebt alle dingen geschapen, en door Uw wil zijn zij, en zijn zij geschapen.
