Apocalipsis 1
1 Revelación de Jesucristo, que Dios, para manifestar a sus siervos las cosas que pronto deben suceder, anunció y explicó, por medio de su ángel, a su siervo Juan;
The revelation given by Jesus Christ, which God granted Him, that He might make known to His servants certain events which must shortly come to pass: and He sent His angel and communicated it to His servant John.
2 el cual testifica la Palabra de Dios y el testimonio de Jesucristo, todo lo cual ha visto.
This is the John who taught the truth concerning the Word of God and the truth told us by Jesus Christ-- a faithful account of what he had seen.
3 Bienaventurado el que lee y los que escuchan las palabras de esta profecía y guardan las cosas en ella escritas; pues el momento está cerca.
Blessed is he who reads and blessed are those who listen to the words of this prophecy and lay to heart what is written in it; for the time for its fulfillment is now close at hand.
4 Juan a las siete Iglesias que están en Asia: gracia a vosotros y paz de Aquel que es, y que era, y que viene; y de los siete Espíritus que están delante de su trono;
John sends greetings to the seven Churches in the province of Asia. May grace be granted to you, and peace, from Him who is and was and evermore will be; and from the seven Spirits which are before His throne;
5 y de Jesucristo, el testigo fiel, el primogénito de los muertos y el Soberano de los reyes de la tierra. A Aquel que nos ama, y que nos ha lavado de nuestros pecados con su sangre,
and from Jesus Christ, the truthful witness, the first of the dead to be born to Life, and the Ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins with His own blood,
6 e hizo de nosotros un reino y sacerdotes para el Dios y Padre suyo; a Él sea la gloria y el imperio por los siglos de los siglos. Amén. (aiōn g165)
and has formed us into a Kingdom, to be priests to God, His Father--to Him be ascribed the glory and the power until the Ages of the Ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
7 Ved, viene con las nubes, y le verán todos los ojos, y aun los que le traspasaron; y harán luto por Él todas las tribus de la tierra. Sí, así sea.
He is coming in the clouds, and every eye will see Him, and so will those who pierced Him; and all the nations of the earth will gaze on Him and mourn. Even so. Amen.
8 “Yo soy el Alfa y la Omega”, dice el Señor Dios, el que es, y que era, y que viene, el Todopoderoso.
"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "He who is and was and evermore will be--the Ruler of all."
9 Yo Juan, hermano vuestro y copartícipe en la tribulación y el reino y la paciencia en Jesús, estaba en la isla llamada Patmos, a causa de la palabra de Dios y del testimonio de Jesús.
I John, your brother, and a sharer with you in the sorrows and Kingship and patient endurance of Jesus, found myself in the island of Patmos, on account of the Word of God and the truth told us by Jesus.
10 Me hallé en espíritu en el día del Señor, y oí detrás de mí una voz fuerte como de trompeta,
In the Spirit I found myself present on the day of the Lord, and I heard behind me a loud voice which resembled the blast of a trumpet.
11 que decía: “Lo que vas a ver escríbelo en un libro, y envíalo a las siete Iglesias: A Éfeso, a Esmirna, a Pérgamo, a Tiatira, a Sardes, a Filadelfia y a Laodicea”.
It said, "Write forthwith in a roll an account of what you see, and send it to the seven Churches--to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyateira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea."
12 Me volví para ver la voz que hablaba conmigo. Y vuelto, vi siete candelabros de oro,
I turned to see who it was that was speaking to me; and then I saw seven golden lampstands,
13 y en medio de los candelabros, alguien como Hijo de hombre, vestido de ropaje talar, y ceñido el pecho con un ceñidor de oro.
and in the center of the lampstands some One resembling the Son of Man, clothed in a robe which reached to His feet, and with a girdle of gold across His breast.
14 Su cabeza y sus cabellos eran blancos como la lana blanca, como la nieve; sus ojos como llama de fuego;
His head and His hair were white, like white wool--as white as snow; and His eyes resembled a flame of fire.
15 sus pies semejantes a bronce bruñido al rojo vivo como en una fragua; y su voz como voz de muchas aguas.
His feet were like silver-bronze, when it is white-hot in a furnace; and His voice resembled the sound of many waters.
16 Tenía en su mano derecha siete estrellas; y de su boca salía una espada aguda de dos filos; y su aspecto era como el sol cuando brilla en toda su fuerza.
In His right hand He held seven stars, and a sharp, two-edged sword was seen coming from His mouth; and His glance resembled the sun when it is shining with its full strength.
17 Cuando le vi, caí a sus pies como muerto; pero Él puso su diestra sobre mí y dijo: “No temas; Yo soy el primero y el último,
When I saw Him, I fell at His feet as if I were dead. But He laid His right hand upon me and said, "Do not be afraid: I am the First and the Last, and the ever-living One.
19 Escribe, pues lo que hayas visto; lo que es, y lo que debe suceder después de esto.
Write down therefore the things you have just seen, and those which are now taking place, and those which are soon to follow:
20 En cuanto al misterio de las siete estrellas, que has visto en mi diestra, y los siete candelabros de oro: las siete estrellas son los ángeles de las siete Iglesias, y los siete candelabros son siete Iglesias”.
the secret meaning of the seven stars which you have seen in My right hand, and of the seven lampstands of gold. The seven stars are the ministers of the seven Churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven Churches.
