Revelation 4

English Standard Version



1 After this I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” (Ex 19:19; Re 1:1; Re 1:10; Re 1:19; Re 11:12; Re 22:6) 2 At once I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne stood in heaven, with one seated on the throne. (1Ki 22:19; Ps 11:4; Ps 103:19; Isa 66:1; Mt 5:34; Mt 23:22; Re 1:10) 3 And he who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian, and around the throne was a rainbow that had the appearance of an emerald. (Ge 9:13; Eze 1:28; Re 10:1; Re 21:11) 4 Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and seated on the thrones were twenty-four elders, clothed in white garments, with golden crowns on their heads. (Jas 1:12; Re 3:4; Re 4:10; Re 11:16) 5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, and rumblings[1] and peals of thunder, and before the throne were burning seven torches of fire, which are the seven spirits of God, (Ex 19:16; Zec 4:2; Re 1:4; Re 8:5; Re 11:19; Re 16:18) 6 and before the throne there was as it were a sea of glass, like crystal. And around the throne, on each side of the throne, are four living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind: (Ps 77:19; Eze 1:5; Eze 10:12; Re 15:2; Re 21:18; Re 21:21) 7 the first living creature like a lion, the second living creature like an ox, the third living creature with the face of a man, and the fourth living creature like an eagle in flight. (Eze 1:10; Eze 10:14) 8 And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and day and night they never cease to say, “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!” (Isa 6:2; Isa 6:3; Re 1:4; Re 4:6; Re 14:11) 9 And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever, (Da 4:34; Da 12:7; Re 1:18; Re 5:13; Re 15:7) 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, (Re 4:4; Re 5:8; Re 5:14; Re 7:11; Re 11:16; Re 19:4) 11 “Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.” (Ge 1:1; Ps 33:9; Ac 14:15; Eph 1:11; Re 5:12; Re 10:6; Re 14:7)

Revelation 4

الكتاب المقدس



1 بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ رَأَيْتُ بَاباً مَفْتُوحاً فِي السَّمَاءِ، وَإذَا الصَّوْتُ الَّذِي سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ يُخَاطِبُنِي كَأَنَّهُ بُوقٌ، وَيَقُولُ: «اصْعَدْ إِلَى هُنَا فَأُرِيَكَ مَا لابُدَّ أَنْ يَحْدُثَ بَعْدَ هَذَا». 2 وَفِي الْحَالِ صِرْتُ فِي الرُّوحِ، فَرَأَيْتُ فِي السَّمَاءِ عَرْشاً يَجْلِسُ عَلَيْهِ وَاحِدٌ 3 تَنْبَعِثُ مِنْهُ أَنْوَارٌ كَأَنَّهَا صَادِرَةٌ مِنْ لَمَعَانِ الْيَشْبِ وَالْعَقِيقِ الأَحْمَرِ. وَحَوْلَ الْعَرْشِ قَوْسُ قُزَحٍ يَلْمَعُ كَأَنَّهُ الزُّمُرُّدُ. 4 وَقَدْ أَحَاطَ بِالْعَرْشِ أَرْبَعَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ عَرْشاً يَجْلِسُ عَلَيْهَا أَرْبَعَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ شَيْخاً يَلْبَسُونَ ثِيَاباً بَيْضَاءَ، وَعَلَى رُؤَوسِهِمْ أَكَالِيلُ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ. 5 وَكَانَتْ تَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْعَرْشِ بُرُوقٌ وَرُعُودٌ وَأَصْوَاتٌ، وَأَمَامَهُ سَبْعَةُ مَصَابِيحِ نَارٍ مُضَاءَةٍ، هِيَ أَرْوَاحُ اللهِ السَّبْعَةُ. 6 وَكَانَ يَبْدُو كَأَنَّ بَحْراً شَفَّافاً مِثْلَ الْبِلَّوْرِ يَمْتَدُّ أَمَامَ الْعَرْشِ، وَفِي وَسَطِ الْعَرْشِ وَحَوْلَهُ أَرْبَعَةُ كَائِنَاتٍ تَكْسُوهَا عُيُونٌ كَثِيرَةٌ مِنَ الأَمَامِ وَمِنَ الْخَلْفِ: 7 الْكَائِنُ الأَوَّلُ يُشْبِهُ الأَسَدَ، وَالثَّانِي يُشْبِهُ الْعِجْلَ، وَالثَّالِثُ لَهُ وَجْهٌ مِثْلُ وَجْهِ إِنْسَانٍ. أَمَّا الْكَائِنُ الرَّابِعُ فَيُشْبِهُ النَّسْرَ الطَّائِرَ. 8 وَكَانَ لكُلِّ كَائِنٍ مِنْهَا سِتَّةُ أَجْنِحَةٍ، تَكْسُوهَا عُيُونٌ مِنَ الدَّاخِلِ وَمِنَ الْخَارِجِ. وَهَذِهِ الْكَائِنَاتُ الْحَيَّةُ الأَرْبَعَةُ تَهْتِفُ لَيْلاً وَنَهَاراً دُونَ انْقِطَاعٍ قَائِلَةً: «قُدُّوسٌ قُدُّوسٌ قُدُّوسٌ، الرَّبُّ الإِلهُ الْقَادِرُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، الَّذِي كَانَ الْكَائِنُ الَّذِي سَيَأْتِي». 9 وَكُلَّمَا قَدَّمَتْ هَذِهِ الْكَائِنَاتُ التَّمْجِيدَ وَالإِجْلالَ وَالْحَمْدَ لِلْجَالِسِ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ، الْحَيِّ إِلَى أَبَدِ الآبِدِينَ، 10 يَجْثُو الشُّيُوخُ الأَرْبَعَةُ وَالْعِشْرُونَ أَمَامَ الْجَالِسِ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ سَاجِدِينَ لِلْحَيِّ إِلَى أَبَدِ الآبِدِينَ، وَيُلْقُونَ أَكَالِيلَهُمْ أَمَامَ عَرْشِهِ وَهُمْ يَهْتِفُونَ: 11 «مُسْتَحِقٌّ أَنْتَ يَا رَبَّنَا وَإِلَهَنَا الْمَجْدَ وَالإِجْلالَ وَالْقُدْرَةَ، لأَنَّكَ خَلَقْتَ الأَشْيَاءَ كُلَّهَا، وَهِيَ بِإِرَادَتِكَ كَائِنَةٌ وَقَدْ خُلِقَتْ!»
