Offenbarung 4

Schlachter 2000



1 Nach diesem schaute ich, und siehe, eine Tür war geöffnet im Himmel; und die erste Stimme, die ich gleich einer Posaune mit mir reden gehört hatte, sprach: Komm hier herauf, und ich will dir zeigen, was nach diesem geschehen muss! (Hes 1,1; Offb 1,10; Offb 1,19) 2 Und sogleich war ich im Geist; und siehe, ein Thron stand im Himmel, und auf dem Thron saß einer. (Jes 6,1; Hes 1,26; Hes 3,14; Offb 1,10) 3 Und der darauf saß, war in seinem Aussehen einem Jaspis- und einem Sardisstein gleich; und ein Regenbogen war rings um den Thron, der glich in seinem Aussehen einem Smaragd. (1Mo 9,12; Hes 1,28; Offb 10,1; Offb 21,11) 4 Und rings um den Thron waren 24 Throne, und auf den Thronen sah ich 24 Älteste sitzen, die mit weißen Kleidern bekleidet waren und auf ihren Häuptern goldene Kronen hatten. (Jes 24,23; Offb 2,10; Offb 3,4; Offb 3,11; Offb 4,10; Offb 5,5; Offb 5,8; Offb 5,11; Offb 5,14) 5 Und von dem Thron gingen Blitze und Donner und Stimmen aus, und sieben Feuerfackeln brennen vor dem Thron, welche die sieben Geister Gottes sind. (2Mo 25,37; Offb 1,4; Offb 5,6; Offb 8,5; Offb 11,19; Offb 16,18) 6 Und vor dem Thron war ein gläsernes Meer, gleich Kristall; und in der Mitte des Thrones und rings um den Thron waren vier lebendige Wesen, voller Augen vorn und hinten. (Hes 1,5; Hes 1,18; Offb 15,2) 7 Und das erste lebendige Wesen glich einem Löwen, das zweite lebendige Wesen glich einem jungen Stier, das dritte lebendige Wesen hatte ein Angesicht wie ein Mensch, und das vierte lebendige Wesen glich einem fliegenden Adler. (1Mo 5,1; 1Mo 5,3; Hes 1,10) 8 Und jedes einzelne von den vier lebendigen Wesen hatte sechs Flügel; ringsherum und inwendig waren sie voller Augen, und unaufhörlich rufen sie bei Tag und bei Nacht: Heilig, heilig, heilig ist der Herr, Gott der Allmächtige, der war und der ist und der kommt! (Ps 92,3; Jes 6,2; Jes 6,3; Hebr 13,8; Offb 1,8; Offb 4,6) 9 Und jedes Mal, wenn die lebendigen Wesen Herrlichkeit und Ehre und Dank darbringen dem, der auf dem Thron sitzt, der lebt von Ewigkeit zu Ewigkeit, (5Mo 32,40) 10 so fallen die 24 Ältesten nieder vor dem, der auf dem Thron sitzt, und beten den an, der lebt von Ewigkeit zu Ewigkeit; und sie werfen ihre Kronen vor dem Thron nieder und sprechen: (Offb 5,14) 11 Würdig bist du, o Herr, zu empfangen den Ruhm und die Ehre und die Macht; denn du hast alle Dinge geschaffen, und durch deinen Willen sind sie und wurden sie geschaffen! (Röm 11,36; Kol 1,16; Hebr 1,2; Offb 5,12; Offb 7,12)

Offenbarung 4

King James Version

1 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. 2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. 3 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 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. 5 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. 6 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. 7 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. 8 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. 9 And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, 10 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, 11 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.

Offenbarung 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.” (2Mo 19,19; Offb 1,1; Offb 1,10; Offb 1,19; Offb 11,12; Offb 22,6) 2 At 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) 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. (1Mo 9,13; Hes 1,28; Offb 10,1; Offb 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. (Jak 1,12; Offb 3,4; Offb 4,10; Offb 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, (2Mo 19,16; Sach 4,2; Offb 1,4; Offb 8,5; Offb 11,19; Offb 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; Hes 1,5; Hes 10,12; Offb 15,2; Offb 21,18; Offb 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. (Hes 1,10; Hes 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!” (Jes 6,2; Jes 6,3; Offb 1,4; Offb 4,6; Offb 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, (Dan 4,34; Dan 12,7; Offb 1,18; Offb 5,13; Offb 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, (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

New International Reader’s Version



1 After this I looked, and there in front of me was a door standing open in heaven. I heard the voice I had heard before. It sounded like a trumpet. The voice said, ‘Come up here. I will show you what must happen after this.’ 2 At once the Holy Spirit gave me a vision. There in front of me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it. 3 The one who sat there shone like jasper and ruby. Around the throne was a rainbow shining like an emerald. 4 Twenty-four other thrones surrounded that throne. Twenty-four elders were sitting on them. The elders were dressed in white. They had gold crowns on their heads. 5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and thunder. Seven lamps were blazing in front of the throne. These stand for the seven spirits of God. 6 There was something that looked like a sea of glass in front of the throne. It was as clear as crystal. In the inner circle, around the throne, were four living creatures. They were covered with eyes, in front and behind. 7 The first creature looked like a lion. The second looked like an ox. The third had a man’s face. The fourth looked like a flying eagle. 8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings. Each creature was covered all over with eyes. It had eyes even under its wings. Day and night, they never stop saying, ‘ “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God who rules over all.” He was, and he is, and he will come.’ (Jes 6,3) 9 The living creatures give glory, honour and thanks to the one who sits on the throne. He lives for ever and ever. 10 At the same time, the 24 elders fall down and worship the one who sits on the throne. He lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns in front of the throne. They say, 11 ‘You are worthy, our Lord and God! You are worthy to receive glory and honour and power. You are worthy because you created all things. They were created and they exist. This is the way you planned it.’
