TSNTyndale Study Notes:

4:4 The twenty-four elders on their thrones probably represent all of God’s people. They might correlate to the twelve tribes of the old covenant and the twelve apostles of the new (see 21:12-14), although some have identified them with the twenty-four divisions of the Israelite priesthood (1 Chr 24:1-19). In the drama, they act as an antiphonal chorus (alternating groups of speakers or singers).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

περιβεβλημένους ἐν ἱματίοις λευκοῖς

/having_been/_clothed (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ κυκλόθεν τοῦ θρόνου θρόνους εἴκοσι τέσσαρες καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς εἴκοσι τέσσαρας θρόνους πρεσβυτέρους καθημένους περιβεβλημένους ἱματίοις λευκοῖς καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν στεφάνους χρυσοῦς)

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “wearing white garments”
