Revelation 1
1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to show to his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel to his servant John:
Esta es la Revelación de Jesucristo, que Dios le dio para mostrar a sus siervos las cosas que deben suceder pronto, la cual envió y dio a conocer por medio de su ángel a su siervo Juan,
2 Who bore witness of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
quien dio testimonio de la palabra de Dios y del testimonio de Jesucristo, acerca de todo lo que vio.
3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it: for the time is at hand.
Bienaventurado el que lee y los que escuchan las palabras de la profecía y guardan lo que en ella está escrito, porque el tiempo está cerca.
4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be to you, and peace, from him who is, and who was, and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits who are before his throne;
Juan, a las siete asambleas que están en Asia: Gracia a vosotros y paz de parte de Dios, el que es y el que era y el que ha de venir; y de los siete Espíritus que están ante su trono;
5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. To him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
y de Jesucristo, el testigo fiel, el primogénito de los muertos y el soberano de los reyes de la tierra. Al que nos amó y nos lavó de nuestros pecados con su sangre,
6 And hath made us kings and priests to God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
y nos hizo ser un Reino, sacerdotes de su Dios y Padre, a él sea la gloria y el dominio por los siglos de los siglos. Amén. (aiōn g165)
7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also who pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
He aquí que viene con las nubes, y todo ojo lo verá, incluso los que lo traspasaron. Todas las tribus de la tierra se lamentarán por él. Así, pues, amén.
8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.
“Yo soy el Alfa y la Omega”, dice el Señor Dios, “el que es y el que era y el que ha de venir, el Todopoderoso”.
9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Yo, Juan, vuestro hermano y compañero vuestro en la opresión, el Reino y la perseverancia en Cristo Jesús, estaba en la isla que se llama Patmos a causa de la Palabra de Dios y del testimonio de Jesucristo.
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
Estaba en el Espíritu en el día del Señor, y oí detrás de mí una voz fuerte, como de trompeta
11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.
que decía: “Lo que veas, escríbelo en un libro y envíalo a las siete asambleas: a Éfeso, Esmirna, Pérgamo, Tiatira, Sardis, Filadelfia y a Laodicea.”
12 And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands;
Me volví para ver la voz que hablaba conmigo. Al volverme, vi siete candelabros de oro.
13 And in the midst of the seven lampstands one like the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the breasts with a golden band.
Y entre los candelabros había uno parecido a un hijo de hombre, vestido con una túnica que le llegaba hasta los pies y con una faja de oro alrededor del pecho.
14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
Su cabeza y sus cabellos eran blancos como la lana blanca, como la nieve. Sus ojos eran como una llama de fuego.
15 And his feet like fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
Sus pies eran como el bronce bruñido, como si hubiera sido refinado en un horno. Su voz era como la voz de muchas aguas.
16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
Tenía siete estrellas en su mano derecha. De su boca salía una espada afilada de dos filos. Su rostro era como el sol que brilla en su máximo esplendor.
17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying to me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
Cuando lo vi, caí a sus pies como un muerto. Puso su mano derecha sobre mí, diciendo: “No temas. Yo soy el primero y el último,
19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be after this;
Escribe, pues, las cosas que has visto, las que son y las que sucederán después.
20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven lampstands which thou sawest are the seven churches.
El misterio de las siete estrellas que has visto en mi mano derecha y de los siete candelabros de oro es éste: Las siete estrellas son los ángelesde las siete asambleas. Los siete candelabros son las siete asambleas.
