Apocalipsis 1
1 Revelación de Jesucristo la cual Dios le dio para manifestar a sus esclavos las cosas que deben suceder en breve. [La] dio a conocer y la envió por medio de su ángel a su esclavo Juan,
This is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what will happen soon. He sent his angel to reveal it to his servant John
2 quien testificó la Palabra de Dios y la evidencia de Jesucristo, lo que vio.
who confirmed everything he saw concerning the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
3 Inmensamente feliz el que lee y los que escuchan las palabras de la profecía y guardan las cosas que fueron escritas en ella, porque el tiempo está cerca.
Anyone who reads this is blessed, as are those who hear these prophetic words and pay attention to what's written, because the time is near.
4 Juan, a las siete iglesias que están en Asia. Gracia y paz a ustedes del que es, del que era y del que viene, de los siete espíritus que están delante de su trono
This letter comes from John and is sent to the seven churches in the province of Asia. May you have grace and peace from the one who was, who is, and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits before his throne,
5 y de Jesucristo, el Testigo fiel, el Primogénito de los muertos y el Soberano de los reyes de la tierra. Al que nos ama, nos libertó de nuestros pecados con su sangre
and from Jesus Christ the trustworthy witness, the firstborn from the dead, the ruler of earthly kings. To Jesus who loves us and freed us from our sins by his blood,
6 y nos estableció como un reino: sacerdotes para su Dios y Padre, a Él sea la gloria y la soberanía por los siglos. Amén. (aiōn g165)
who made us into his kingdom, priests to his God and Father—to Jesus be glory and authority for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
7 Ciertamente viene con las nubes. Todo ojo lo verá, también los que lo traspasaron. Y todas las naciones de la tierra harán lamentación por Él. Sí. Amén.
Look, he is coming surrounded by clouds, and everybody shall see him, even those who killed him. All the peoples of the earth will weep because of him. May it be so! Amen.
8 Yo soy el Alfa y la Omega, dice el Señor Dios, el que es, el que era y el que viene, el Todopoderoso.
“I am the Beginning and the End,” says the All-powerful Lord God, who was, who is, and who is to come.
9 Yo, Juan, su hermano y copartícipe en la aflicción, [el] reino y [la ]paciencia en Jesús, estaba en la isla llamada Patmos, por causa de la Palabra de Dios y el testimonio de Jesús.
I am John, your brother who shares with you in the suffering and in the kingdom and in the patient waiting that are our experience in Jesus. I was detained on the island of Patmos for sharing the word of God and the truth as revealed by Jesus.
10 Estuve en Espíritu el día que pertenece al Señor. Oí detrás de mí un gran sonido, como de trompeta,
I was filled by the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard a loud voice behind me that sounded like a trumpet.
11 que decía: Escribe lo que ves en un rollo, y envíalo a las siete iglesias: a Éfeso, Esmirna, Pérgamo, Tiatira, Sardis, Filadelfia y Laodicea.
It told me, “Write down in a book what you see and send it to the seven churches: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”
12 Di vuelta para ver la voz que hablaba conmigo. Al dar la vuelta miré siete candelabros de oro.
I turned round to see who was speaking to me. When I turned I saw seven golden candlesticks,
13 En medio de los siete candelabros [vi a Uno] semejante al Hijo del Hombre, Quien estaba cubierto de un manto talar y una faja de oro en el pecho.
and standing among the candlesticks was someone who looked like a Son of man. He was wearing a robe that reached down to his feet with a golden sash across his chest.
14 Su cabeza y los cabellos eran blancos como lana blanca, como nieve, y sus ojos, como llama de fuego.
His hair looked like white wool, and his eyes like flaming fire.
15 Sus pies eran semejantes al bronce pulido en un horno ardiente, y su voz, como el estruendo de muchas aguas.
His feet looked like polished brass that had been refined in a furnace. His voice sounded like a thundering waterfall.
16 Tenía siete estrellas en su mano derecha. Una espada aguda de doble filo salía de su boca. Su rostro era como el sol cuando resplandece en su fuerza.
He was holding seven stars in his right hand, and a sharp double-edged sword came out of his mouth. His face shone like the sun at its brightest.
17 Cuando lo vi, caí como muerto a sus pies. Pero [Él] colocó su [mano] derecha sobre mí y dijo: No temas. Yo soy el Primero y el Último,
When I saw him I fell down at his feet as if I were dead. But he touched me with his right hand and said, “Don't be afraid, I am the first and the last,
19 Escribe las cosas que viste, las que son y las que vienen después de éstas,
So write down what you've seen—what's happening in the present and what will happen in the future.
20 el misterio de las siete estrellas que viste sobre mi 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 meaning of the seven stars that you saw me holding in my right hand and the seven golden candlesticks is this: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches and the seven candlesticks are the seven churches.”
