Verse YLT Young's Literal Translation BSB Berean Standard Bible

After these things I saw, and lo, a door opened in the heaven , and the first voice that I heard `is' as of a trumpet speaking with me, saying, ` Come up hither , and I will shew thee what it behoveth to come to pass after these things ;'

After this I looked and saw a door standing open in heaven . And the voice I had previously heard speak to me like a trumpet was saying, “ Come up here , and I will show you what must happen after these things .”

and immediately I was in the Spirit, and lo, a throne was set in the heaven, and upon the throne is `one' sitting,

At once I was in the Spirit, and I saw a throne standing in heaven, with someone seated on it.

and He who is sitting was in sight like a stone, jasper and sardine: and a rainbow was round the throne in sight like an emerald.

The One seated there looked like jasper and carnelian, and a rainbow that gleamed like an emerald encircled the throne .

And around the throne `are' thrones twenty and four, and upon the thrones I saw the twenty and four elders sitting, clothed in white garments , and they had upon their heads crowns of gold;

Surrounding the throne were twenty - four other thrones , and on these thrones sat twenty - four elders dressed in white, with golden crowns on their heads .

and out of the throne proceed do lightnings , and thunders , and voices; and seven lamps of fire are burning before the throne , which are the Seven Spirits of God ,

From the throne came flashes of lightning , and rumblings , and peals of thunder. Before the throne burned seven torches of fire. These are the seven Spirits of God .

and before the throne `is' a sea of glass like to crystal , and in the midst of the throne , and round the throne, `are' four living creatures, full of eyes before and behind;

And before the throne was something like a sea of glass, as clear as crystal. In the center , around the throne, were four living creatures, covered with eyes in front and back.

and the first living creature `is' like a lion, and the second living creature `is' like a calf, and the third living creature hath the face as a man, and the fourth living creature `is' like an eagle flying .

The first living creature was like a lion, the second like a calf, the third had a face like a man, and the fourth was like an eagle in flight .

And the four living creatures , each by itself severally, had six wings , around and within `are' full of eyes , and rest they have not day and night , saying , ` Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was , and who is , and who is coming;'

And each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around and within. Day and night they never stop saying : “ Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!”

and when the living creatures do give glory, and honour , and thanks , to Him who is sitting upon the throne , who is living to the ages of the ages ,

And whenever the living creatures give glory, honor , and thanks to the One seated on the throne who lives forever and ever ,

fall down do the twenty and four elders before Him who is sitting upon the throne, and bow before Him who is living to the ages of the ages, and they cast their crowns before the throne, saying ,

the twenty - four elders fall down before the One seated on the throne, and they worship Him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying :

` Worthy art Thou , O Lord, to receive the glory , and the honour, and the power, because Thou -- Thou didst create the all things , and because of Thy will are they , and they were created . '

“ Worthy are You , our Lord and God , to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things ; by Your will they exist and came to be . ”
