Revelation 4
New King James Version
The Throne Room of Heaven(A)
4 After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing (B)open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a (C)trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.”
2 Immediately (D)I was in the Spirit; and behold, (E)a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne. 3 [a]And He who sat there was (F)like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; (G)and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald. 4 (H)Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, (I)clothed in white [b]robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads. 5 And from the throne proceeded (J)lightnings, [c]thunderings, and voices. (K)Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are (L)the[d] seven Spirits of God.
6 Before the throne there [e]was (M)a sea of glass, like crystal. (N)And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back. 7 (O)The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle. 8 The four living creatures, each having (P)six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying:
9 Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, (T)who lives forever and ever, 10 (U)the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying:
11 “You(V) are worthy, [g]O Lord,
To receive glory and honor and power;
(W)For You created all things,
And by (X)Your will they [h]exist and were created.”

Guds underbara tron
4 När jag sedan tittade upp, såg jag en dörr som var öppen i himlen. Och samma röst som jag hade hört förut, som lät som en kraftig trumpetstöt, talade till mig och sa: Kom hit upp, så ska jag visa dig vad som ska hända i framtiden!
2 Guds Ande grep mig och i samma ögonblick befann jag mig i himlen och såg en tron och någon som satt på den.
3 Väldiga ljusknippen sköt ut från honom, som från en blixtrande diamant eller en gnistrande rubin. Och omkring tronen glimmade en regnbåge, som var som smaragd.
4 Runt tronen stod tjugofyra mindre troner, och på dem satt tjugofyra äldste. Alla var klädda i vita kläder, och hade segerkransar på sina huvuden.
5 Från tronen kom blixtar och dunder, och inne i åskmullret hördes röster. Alldeles framför tronen brann sju facklor, som representerade Guds sju andar.
6 Framför tronen låg ett glittrande kristallhav. Fyra levande väsen, översållade av ögon både framtill och baktill, stod runt tronens fyra sidor.
7 Den första av dessa varelser såg ut som ett lejon, den andra liknade en tjur, den tredje hade en människas ansikte, och den fjärde var som en örn, med vingarna utsträckta som i flykt.
8 Varje varelse hade sex vingar, och mittpartierna av deras vingar var övertäckta av ögon. Dag och natt sa de utan uppehåll: Helig, helig, helig är Herren Gud allsmäktig - han som var och som är och som ska komma.
9 Och när varelserna ger ära och pris och tack till honom som sitter på tronen, han som lever i evighet,
10 faller de tjugofyra äldste ner framför honom och tillber honom, och kastar sina segerkransar framför honom och sjunger:
11 Herre, du är värdig att ta emot äran och lovet och makten, för du har skapat allting. Eftersom du ville det, blev det skapat och kom till.
Revelation 4
New International Version
The Throne in Heaven
4 After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open(A) in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet(B) said, “Come up here,(C) and I will show you what must take place after this.”(D) 2 At once I was in the Spirit,(E) and there before me was a throne in heaven(F) with someone sitting on it. 3 And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper(G) and ruby.(H) A rainbow(I) that shone like an emerald(J) encircled the throne. 4 Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders.(K) They were dressed in white(L) and had crowns of gold on their heads. 5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder.(M) In front of the throne, seven lamps(N) were blazing. These are the seven spirits[a](O) of God. 6 Also in front of the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass,(P) clear as crystal.
In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures,(Q) and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back.(R) 7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle.(S) 8 Each of the four living creatures(T) had six wings(U) and was covered with eyes all around,(V) even under its wings. Day and night(W) they never stop saying:
9 Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne(Z) and who lives for ever and ever,(AA) 10 the twenty-four elders(AB) fall down before him(AC) who sits on the throne(AD) and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say:
