1Nach diesem sah ich: Und siehe, eine Tür, geöffnet im Himmel, und die erste Stimme, die ich gehört hatte wie die einer Posaune, die mit mir redete, sprach: Komm hier herauf! Und ich werde dir zeigen, was nach diesem geschehen muss. (Hes 1,1; Offb 1,1; Offb 1,10; Offb 19,11)2Sogleich war[1] ich im Geist: Und siehe, ein Thron stand im Himmel, und auf dem Thron saß einer. (Ps 47,9; Jes 6,1; Hes 1,26; Hes 10,1; Offb 1,10; Offb 5,13; Offb 6,16; Offb 7,10; Offb 19,4; Offb 20,11; Offb 21,5)3Und der da saß, ⟨war⟩ von Ansehen gleich einem Jaspisstein und einem Sarder, und ein Regenbogen ⟨war⟩ rings um den Thron, von Ansehen gleich einem Smaragd. (Hes 1,28; Offb 21,11)4Und rings um den Thron ⟨sah ich⟩ vierundzwanzig Throne, und auf den Thronen saßen vierundzwanzig Älteste, bekleidet mit weißen Kleidern, und auf ihren Häuptern goldene Siegeskränze. (Jes 24,23; Offb 3,4; Offb 3,11)5Und aus dem Thron gehen hervor Blitze und Stimmen und Donner; und sieben Feuerfackeln brennen vor dem Thron, welche die sieben Geister Gottes sind. (Hes 1,13; Sach 4,2; Offb 1,4; Offb 8,5; Offb 10,3; Offb 11,19; Offb 16,18)6Und vor dem Thron ⟨war es⟩ wie ein gläsernes Meer, gleich Kristall; und inmitten des Thrones und rings um den Thron vier lebendige Wesen, voller Augen vorn und hinten. (Hes 1,5; Hes 1,22; Offb 15,2)7Und das erste lebendige Wesen ⟨war⟩ gleich einem Löwen und das zweite lebendige Wesen gleich einem jungen Stier, und das dritte lebendige Wesen hatte das Angesicht wie das eines Menschen, und das vierte lebendige Wesen ⟨war⟩ gleich einem fliegenden Adler. (Hes 1,10; Hes 10,14)8Und die vier lebendigen Wesen hatten, eines wie das andere, je sechs Flügel und ⟨sind⟩ ringsum und inwendig voller Augen, und sie hören Tag und Nacht nicht auf zu sagen: Heilig, heilig, heilig, Herr, Gott, Allmächtiger, der war und der ist und der kommt! (Jes 6,2; Hes 10,12; Sach 4,2; Offb 1,4)9Und wenn die lebendigen Wesen Herrlichkeit und Ehre und Danksagung geben werden dem, der auf dem Thron sitzt, der da lebt von Ewigkeit zu Ewigkeit[2], (5Mo 32,40; Dan 4,31; Dan 6,27; Dan 12,7; Offb 10,6; Offb 15,7)10so werden die vierundzwanzig Ältesten niederfallen vor dem, der auf dem Thron sitzt, und den anbeten[3], der von Ewigkeit zu Ewigkeit lebt, und werden ihre Siegeskränze niederwerfen vor dem Thron und sagen: (Offb 5,13; Offb 7,11; Offb 11,16; Offb 19,4)11Du bist würdig, unser Herr und Gott, die Herrlichkeit und die Ehre und die Macht zu nehmen, denn du hast alle Dinge erschaffen, und deines Willens wegen waren sie und sind sie erschaffen worden. (Röm 11,36; Offb 5,12; Offb 7,12)
1After 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.” (2Mo 19,19; Offb 1,1; Offb 1,10; Offb 1,19; Offb 11,12; Offb 22,6)2At once I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne stood in heaven, with one seated on the throne. (1Kön 22,19; Ps 11,4; Ps 103,19; Jes 66,1; Mt 5,34; Mt 23,22; Offb 1,10)3And 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. (1Mo 9,13; Hes 1,28; Offb 10,1; Offb 21,11)4Around 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. (Jak 1,12; Offb 3,4; Offb 4,10; Offb 11,16)5From 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, (2Mo 19,16; Sach 4,2; Offb 1,4; Offb 8,5; Offb 11,19; Offb 16,18)6and 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; Hes 1,5; Hes 10,12; Offb 15,2; Offb 21,18; Offb 21,21)7the 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. (Hes 1,10; Hes 10,14)8And 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!” (Jes 6,2; Jes 6,3; Offb 1,4; Offb 4,6; Offb 14,11)9And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever, (Dan 4,34; Dan 12,7; Offb 1,18; Offb 5,13; Offb 15,7)10the 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, (Offb 4,4; Offb 5,8; Offb 5,14; Offb 7,11; Offb 11,16; Offb 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.” (1Mo 1,1; Ps 33,9; Apg 14,15; Eph 1,11; Offb 5,12; Offb 10,6; Offb 14,7)
Offenbarung 4
King James Version
1After 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.2And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.3And 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.4And 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.5And 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.6And 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.7And 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.8And 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.9And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,10The 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,11Thou 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.

Il trono di Dio
1Dopo queste cose guardai e vidi una porta aperta nel cielo, e la prima voce, che mi aveva già parlato come uno squillo di tromba, mi disse: «Sali quassù e ti mostrerò le cose che devono avvenire in seguito».2Subito fui rapito dallo Spirito. Ed ecco, un trono era posto nel cielo e sul trono c’era uno seduto.3Colui che stava seduto era simile nell’aspetto alla pietra di diaspro e di sardonico; e intorno al trono c’era un arcobaleno che, a vederlo, era simile allo smeraldo.4Attorno al trono c’erano ventiquattro troni su cui stavano seduti ventiquattro anziani vestiti di vesti bianche e con corone d’oro sul capo.5Dal trono uscivano lampi, voci e tuoni. Davanti al trono c’erano sette lampade accese, che sono i sette spiriti di Dio.6Davanti al trono inoltre c’era come un mare di vetro, simile al cristallo; in mezzo al trono e intorno al trono, quattro creature viventi, piene di occhi davanti e di dietro.7La prima creatura vivente era simile a un leone, la seconda simile a un vitello, la terza aveva la faccia come d’uomo e la quarta era simile a un’aquila mentre vola.8E le quattro creature viventi avevano ognuna sei ali, ed erano coperte di occhi tutt’intorno e di dentro, e non cessavano mai di ripetere giorno e notte: «Santo, santo, santo è il Signore, il Dio onnipotente, che era, che è e che viene».9Ogni volta che queste creature viventi rendono gloria, onore e grazie a colui che siede sul trono, e che vive nei secoli dei secoli,10i ventiquattro anziani si prostrano davanti a colui che siede sul trono e adorano colui che vive nei secoli dei secoli, e gettano le loro corone davanti al trono, dicendo:11«Tu sei degno, o Signore e Dio nostro, di ricevere la gloria, l’onore e la potenza, perché tu hai creato tutte le cose, e per tua volontà esistettero e furono create».
