< Revelation 4 >
1 After these things, I looked and lo, a door was open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard, was as of a trumpet talking with me. It said, Come up hither; and I will show thee the things that must occur hereafter.
DESPUES de estas cosas miré, y hé aquí una puerta abierta en el cielo: y la primera voz que oí, [era] como de trompeta que hablaba conmigo, diciendo: Sube acá, y yo te mostraré las cosas que han de ser despues de estas.
2 Instantly, I was in the Spirit: and lo, a throne was placed in heaven; and there was one seated on the throne.
Y luego yo fuí en Espíritu: y hé aquí un trono que estaba puesto en el cielo, y sobre el trono estaba uno sentado.
3 And he who sat, was like the appearance of a jasper-stone, and of a sardine sard, and of a rainbow of the clouds, round about the throne, in form as the appearance of emeralds.
Y el que estaba sentado, era al parecer semejante á una piedra de jaspe y de sárdio; y un arco celeste [habia] alrededor del trono, semejante en el aspecto á la esmeralda.
4 Around the throne were twenty and four seats; and upon those seats sat twenty and four Elders, who were clothed in white robes, and on whose heads were coronets of gold.
Y alrededor del trono habia veinticuatro sillas: y ví sobre las sillas los veinticuatro ancianos sentados, vestidos de ropas blancas; y tenian sobre sus cabezas coronas de oro.
5 And from the throne proceeded lightnings, and the sound of thunders; and seven lamps of fire were burning before his throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
Y del trono salian relámpagos y truenos, y voces: y siete lámparas de fuego estaban ardiendo delante del trono, las cuales son los siete espíritus de Dios.
6 And before the throne, as it were a sea of glass like crystal; and in the midst of the throne, and around it, and before the throne, were four Animals, full of eyes in their front and in their rear.
Y delante del trono [habia] como un mar de vidrio semejante al cristal; y en medio del trono, y alrededor del trono, cuatro animales llenos de ojos delante y detrás.
7 And the first Animal resembled a lion; and the second Animal resembled a calf; and the third Animal had a face like a man; and the fourth Animal resembled an eagle when flying.
Y el primer animal [era] semejante á un leon; y el segundo animal semejante á un becerro; y el tercer animal, tenia la cara como de hombre; y el cuarto animal, semejante á un águila volando.
8 And these four Animals had, each of them, six wings around it: and within they were full of eyes: and they have no cessation, day or night, from saying: Holy, Holy, Holy, the Lord God, the Omnipotent, who was, and is, and is to come.
Y los cuatro animales tenian cada uno por sí seis alas alrededor; y de dentro estaban llenos de ojos; y no tenian reposo dia ni noche, diciendo: Santo, santo, santo el Señor Dios Todopoderoso, que era, y que es, y que ha de venir.
9 And when these Animals give glory and honor and praise to him that sitteth on the throne, to him who liveth for ever and ever, (aiōn )
Y cuando aquellos animales daban gloria, y honra, y alabanza al que estaba sentado en el trono, al que vive para siempre jamás, (aiōn )
10 the twenty and four Elders fall down before him who sitteth on the throne, and they worship him who liveth for ever and ever; and they cast their coronets before the throne, saying, (aiōn )
Los veinticuatro ancianos se postraban delante del que estaba sentado en el trono, y adoraban al que vive para siempre jamás; y echaban sus coronas delante del trono, diciendo: (aiōn )
11 Worthy art thou, O Lord our God, the Holy, to receive glory and honor and power; for thou hast created all things, and by thee they exist; and because of thy pleasure they had being and were created.
Señor, digno eres de recibir gloria, y honra, y virtud: porque tú criaste todas las cosas, y por tu voluntad tienen ser, y fueron criadas.
