Apocalipsis 1
1 Esta es la revelación de Jesucristo, la cual Dios entregó para mostrar a sus siervos lo que sucederá pronto. Él envió a su ángel para revelarla 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 quien confirmó todo lo que vio respecto a la palabra de Dios y el testimonio de Jesucristo.
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 Bendito es todo aquél que lee esto, así como los que escuchan estas palabras proféticas y prestan atención a lo que está escrito, porque el tiempo 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 Esta carta viene de parte de Juan y es enviada a las siete iglesias en la provincia de Asia. Tengan gracia y paz de Aquél que era, es, y vendrá, 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 entre los muertos, el gobernante de los reyes de la tierra. A Jesús, quien nos ama y nos libertó de nuestros pecados por medio de 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 quien nos hizo entrar a su reino, y nos hizo sacerdotes ante su Dios y Padre. A Jesús sea la gloria y la autoridad por siempre y para siempre. 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 Miren que viene rodeado de nubes, y todos lo verán, incluso quienes lo mataron. Todos los pueblos de la tierra se lamentarán por él. ¡Que así sea! Amén.
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 Principio y el Fin”, dice el Señor Dios Todopoderoso, que era, que es, y que vendrá.
"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 soy Juan, hermano de ustedes, partícipe en el sufrimiento y en el reino, y en la paciente espera que experimentamos en Jesús. Fui detenido en la isla de Patmos por compartir la palabra de Dios y la verdad tal como fue revelada por 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 Fui lleno del Espíritu en el día del Señor, y escuché una voz fuerte detrás de mí, que sonaba como una 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 Y me dijo: “Escribe en un libro lo que ves y envíalo a las siete iglesias: Éfeso, Esmirna, Pérgamo, Tiatira, Sardis, Filadelfia, y 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 di vuelta para ver quién me hablaba. Y cuando di la vuelta 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 estaba en pie alguien que parecía como un Hijo de hombre. Usaba una túnica que llegaba hasta sus pies, con un cinto dorado que cruzaba su pecho.
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 cabello lucía como lana blanca, y sus ojos como fuego ardiente.
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 lucían como metal que ha sido refinado en una caldera. Y su voz como el estruendo de las aguas de una cascada.
His feet were like silver-bronze, when it is white-hot in a furnace; and His voice resembled the sound of many waters.
16 Sostenía siete estrellas en su mano derecha y de su boca salía una espada de doble filo. Su rostro brillaba como el sol en su esplendor.
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 lo vi, caí a sus pies como muerto. Pero él me tocó con su mano derecha y dijo: “No tengas miedo, 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 “Así que escribe lo que has visto, lo que está sucediendo en el presente y lo que sucederá en el futuro.
Write down therefore the things you have just seen, and those which are now taking place, and those which are soon to follow:
20 Este es el significado de las siete estrellas que viste en mi mano derecha, y los siete candelabros de oro: las siete estrellas son los ángeles de las siete iglesias, y los siete candelabros son las 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.
