Apocalipsis 4
1 Después de estas cosas, vi una puerta abierta en el cielo, y la primera voz llegó a mis oídos, como el sonido de una trompeta, que decía: Sube acá, y yo te mostraré las cosas que sucederán después de estas.
After these things I, [John], saw [in the vision that] there was a door open in heaven. The one whose voice was like [SIM] a [loud] trumpet, the one [who had spoken to me] previously, said [to me], “Come up here! I will show you events that must happen later.”
2 Y al instante yo estaba en el Espíritu; y vi un trono establecido en el cielo, y en el trono uno estaba sentado;
Immediately I experienced that [God’s] Spirit [was specially controlling me]. There was a throne there in heaven, and on the throne someone was sitting [and ruling].
3 Y a mis ojos era como un jaspe y una piedra de sardio; y había un arco de luz alrededor del asiento alto, como una esmeralda.
He [shone] like [SIM] a [brilliant crystalline] jasper [jewel] and like a [brilliant red] carnelian [jewel]. Around the throne was a rainbow that [shone like a brilliant green] emerald [jewel].
4 Y alrededor del trono había veinticuatro sillas; y sobre ellos vi a veinticuatro ancianos sentados, vestidos de túnicas blancas; y en sus cabezas coronas de oro.
Around the throne there were 24 other thrones. On these thrones 24 elders were [sitting]. They were wearing [pure] white garments and had golden crowns on their heads.
5 Y del trono salían llamas, voces y truenos. Y siete antorchas de fuego ardían delante del trono alto, que son los siete Espíritus de Dios;
From the throne there came lightning and rumblings and thundering. Seven torches of fire were burning in front of the throne. Those [represent] the Spirit of God, who has all kinds of [power] (OR, who is [also] symbolized as seven spirits).
6 Y delante del trono había, algo que parecía un claro mar de vidrio; y en medio del trono, y alrededor de él, cuatro bestias llenas de ojos alrededor.
In front of the throne [there was what looked] like an ocean [made of] glass. It was [clear], like crystal. On each of the four sides of the throne there was a living [creature]. Each one was covered with eyes in front and behind.
7 Y la primera bestia era como un león, la segunda como un buey, y la tercera como un hombre, y la cuarta como un águila en vuelo.
The first living [creature] was like a lion. The second living [creature] was like an ox. The third living [creature] had a face like a man's face. The fourth living creature was like an eagle that was flying.
8 Y las cuatro bestias, teniendo cada una de ellas seis alas, están llenas de ojos en derredor y en su interior; y sin descansar día y noche, dicen: Santo, santo, santo, Señor Dios, Todopoderoso, quién era y eres y está por venir.
Each of the four living [creatures] had six wings. They were covered with eyes, all around [their bodies] and under [their wings]. Day and night they continually [LIT] sing: Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty One. He is the one who has always existed, who exists now, and who will always exist.
9 Y cuando las bestias dan gloria y honor al que está sentado en el trono, al que vive por los siglos de los siglos, (aiōn g165)
The living [creatures praise], honor [DOU], and thank the one who sits on the throne, the one who lives forever. (aiōn g165)
10 Los veinticuatro ancianos se postran sobre sus rostros delante del que está sentado en el trono, y adoran al que vive por los siglos de los siglos, y arrojan sus coronas delante del trono, diciendo: (aiōn g165)
Whenever they do that, the 24 elders (prostrate themselves/kneel down) before the one who sits on the throne, and they worship him, the one who lives forever. They lay their crowns in front of the throne and sing: (aiōn g165)
11 Tu eres digno, nuestro Señor y nuestro Dios, de recibir la gloria, el honor y poder; porque tú has creado todas las cosas; por tu voluntad existen y han sido creadas.
Our(exc) Lord and God, you are worthy that all beings praise you, you are worthy that all beings honor you, and you are worthy that all beings acknowledge that you are the powerful one, because you alone created all things. Moreover, because you planned that they should exist, you created them, and so they exist.
