Revelation 4

1 After these things, I saw, and behold, a door was opened in heaven, and the voice that I heard speaking with me first was like a trumpet, saying: “Ascend to here, and I will reveal to you what must occur after these things.”

Después de estas cosas miré y vi una puerta abierta en el cielo; y la primera voz que oí, como una trompeta que hablaba conmigo, era una que decía: “Sube aquí, y te mostraré las cosas que deben suceder después de esto.”

2 And immediately I was in the Spirit. And behold, a throne had been placed in heaven, and there was One sitting upon the throne.

Al instante estuve en el Espíritu. He aquí que había un trono puesto en el cielo, y uno sentado en el trono

3 And the One who was sitting there was similar in appearance to a stone of jasper and sardius. And there was an iridescence surrounding the throne, in aspect similar to an emerald.

que parecía una piedra de jaspe y un sardio. Alrededor del trono había un arco iris, como una esmeralda a la vista.

4 And surrounding the throne were twenty-four smaller thrones. And upon the thrones, twenty-four elders were sitting, clothed entirely in white vestments, and on their heads were gold crowns.

Alrededor del trono había veinticuatro tronos. En los tronos había veinticuatro ancianos sentados, vestidos con ropas blancas y con coronas de oro en sus cabezas.

5 And from the throne, lightnings and voices and thunders went forth. And there were seven burning lamps before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God.

Del trono salían relámpagos, sonidos y truenos. Había siete lámparas de fuego ardiendo ante su trono, que son los siete Espíritus de Dios.

6 And in view of the throne, there was something that seemed like a sea of glass, similar to crystal. And in the middle of the throne, and all around the throne, there were four living creatures, full of eyes in front and in back.

Delante del trono había algo parecido a un mar de vidrio, semejante al cristal. En medio del trono, y alrededor del trono, había cuatro criaturas vivientes llenas de ojos por delante y por detrás.

7 And the first living creature resembled a lion, and the second living creature resembled a calf, and the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature resembled a flying eagle.

La primera criatura era como un león, la segunda criatura como un ternero, la tercera criatura tenía cara de hombre y la cuarta era como un águila voladora.

8 And each of the four living creatures had upon them six wings, and all around and within they are full of eyes. And they took no rest, day or night, from saying: “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and who is, and who is to come.”

Los cuatro seres vivientes, cada uno con seis alas, están llenos de ojos alrededor y por dentro. No descansan ni de día ni de noche, diciendo: “¡Santo, santo, santo es el Señor Dios, el Todopoderoso, el que era y el que es y el que ha de venir!”

9 And while those living creatures were giving glory and honor and blessings to the One sitting upon the throne, who lives forever and ever, (aiōn g165)

Cuando los seres vivientes dan gloria, honor y gracias al que está sentado en el trono, al que vive por los siglos de los siglos, (aiōn g165)

10 the twenty-four elders fell prostrate before the One sitting upon the throne, and they adored him who lives forever and ever, and they cast their crowns before the throne, saying: (aiōn g165)

los veinticuatro ancianos se postran ante el que está sentado en el trono y adoran al que vive por los siglos de los siglos, y arrojan sus coronas ante el trono, diciendo: (aiōn g165)

11 “You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power. For you have created all things, and they became and were created because of your will.”

“¡Digno eres tú, Señor y Dios nuestro, el Santo, de recibir la gloria, el honor y el poder, porque tú creaste todas las cosas, y por tu deseo existieron y fueron creadas!”
