< Apocalipsis 15 >
1 Entonces vi en el cielo otra señal asombrosa y de gran importancia: Siete ángeles sostenían las últimas siete plagas que completan el juicio de Dios.
Something else very unusual [appeared] in the sky. I saw seven angels, whose duty it was to [punish] (OR, inflict hardship upon) [rebellious people] with seven different plagues (OR, in seven different ways). God is so angry [with rebellious people that] this is the last [time that he will punish them with the purpose of giving them an opportunity to turn away from their sinful behavior].
2 Vi lo que parecía como un mar de vidrio mezclado con fuego. Y junto al mar de vidrio estaban los que habían vencido a la bestia y su imagen, y el número de su nombre. Y tenían arpas que Dios les había dado
I saw what looked like an ocean [that was made of] glass and mixed with fire. And I saw the people who overcame the beast [by not worshipping it] or its image, or [allowing its agent to mark them with] the number that corresponds to the beast’s name [PRS]. They were standing by the ocean [that looked like it was made] of glass. They had harps [for praising] God.
3 y cantaban el cántico de Moisés, el siervo de Dios, y el cántico del Cordero: “Lo que has hecho es extraordinario y maravilloso, Oh Señor Dios, El Todopoderoso. Tus caminos son justos y verdaderos, Rey de las naciones.
They were singing a song [like] God’s servant Moses [sang long ago]. They sang [like this to praise Jesus, the one who is like] a lamb: Lord God Almighty, whatever you do is powerful and marvelous! You always act righteously and truthfully. You are king forever!
4 ¿Quién no te rendiría reverencia, oh, Señor? ¿Quién es el que no glorificaría tu nombre? Pues solo tú eres santo. ¡Todas las naciones vendrán a adorarte porque has demostrado con tus actos que eres justo!”
O Lord, you alone are holy! People of [MTY] all nations will come and worship you, because you show everyone that you have judged everyone righteously. So, everyone will fear you and honor you! [RHQ].
5 Después de esto, miré, y el Templo de la “Tienda del Testigo” estaba abierto.
After this, [in the vision] I saw in heaven the temple [that (corresponds to/was represented by]) the tent [that the Israelites pitched in the desert. That was the tent that contained] the [Ten Commandments. The temple door] was opened {was open}.
6 Y del Templo salieron siete ángeles que sostenían las siete plagas, usando ropas blancas, de lino, y con cintos de oro en sus pechos.
The seven angels [who had the bowls containing] the seven plagues came out of the temple. The angels were dressed in clean, white linen [garments], and they wore gold bands around their chests.
7 Y una de las cuatro criaturas vivientes le dio a los siete ángeles siete copas de oro, llenas del juicio de Dios, quien vive por siempre y para siempre. (aiōn )
One of the four living [creatures] gave [each of] the seven angels a golden bowl, filled with [wine/liquid. That wine/liquid symbolized] that God, who lives forever, would severely punish [rebellious people]. (aiōn )
8 Entonces el Templo se llenó de humo que provenía de la gloria de Dios y de su poder. Y nadie podía entrar al Templo hasta que las plagas que venían del cielo hubieran terminado.
The temple was filled with smoke [that symbolized] the presence of the glorious and all-powerful God. No one was able to enter the temple until the seven angels finished [pouring out] the seven plagues.
