BES Bible in Simple Spanish (2026)

WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 Vino uno de los siete ángeles que tenían las siete copas, y habló conmigo, diciendo: Ven, te mostraré el juicio de la gran prostituta que está sentada sobre muchas aguas.

1 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, “Come here. I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who sits on many waters,

2 Con ella cometieron inmoralidad sexual los reyes de la tierra, y los que viven en la tierra se emborracharon con el vino de su inmoralidad.

2 with whom the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality. Those who dwell on the earth were made drunken with the wine of her sexual immorality.”

3 Entonces me llevó en el Espíritu al desierto. Allí vi a una mujer sentada sobre una bestia escarlata, llena de nombres blasfemos, que tenía siete cabezas y diez cuernos.

3 He carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored beast, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns.

4 La mujer estaba vestida de púrpura y escarlata, adornada con oro, piedras preciosas y perlas. Tenía en la mano una copa de oro llena de abominaciones y de las impurezas de su inmoralidad sexual.

4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of the sexual immorality of the earth.

5 En su frente tenía escrito un nombre, un misterio: BABILONIA LA GRANDE, MADRE DE LAS PROSTITUTAS Y DE LAS ABOMINACIONES DE LA TIERRA.

5 And on her forehead a name was written, “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”

6 Vi a la mujer borracha con la sangre de los santos y con la sangre de los testigos de Jesús. Al verla, me quedé muy asombrado.

6 I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered with great amazement.

7 El ángel me dijo: ¿Por qué te asombras? Yo te explicaré el misterio de la mujer y de la bestia que la lleva, la cual tiene siete cabezas y diez cuernos.

7 The angel said to me, “Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.

8 La bestia que viste era, y no es, y está por subir del abismo e ir a la destrucción. Los que viven en la tierra, cuyos nombres no están escritos en el libro de la vida desde la fundación del mundo, se asombrarán al ver a la bestia, porque era, no es y vendrá.

8 The beast that you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss and to go into destruction. Those who dwell on the earth and whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel when they see that the beast was, and is not, and shall be present.

9 Aquí se requiere una mente que tenga sabiduría: las siete cabezas son siete montes sobre los cuales se sienta la mujer.

9 Here is the mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.

10 También son siete reyes. Cinco han caído, uno es, y el otro aún no ha venido. Cuando venga, debe permanecer poco tiempo.

10 They are seven kings. Five have fallen, the one is, and the other has not yet come. When he comes, he must continue a little while.

11 La bestia que era y no es, es también el octavo rey, y pertenece a los siete, y va a la destrucción.

11 The beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goes to destruction.

12 Los diez cuernos que viste son diez reyes que aún no han recibido reino, pero recibirán autoridad como reyes por una hora junto con la bestia.

12 The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour.

13 Estos tienen un mismo propósito, y entregan su poder y autoridad a la bestia.

13 These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast.

14 Ellos pelearán contra el Cordero, pero el Cordero los vencerá, porque él es Señor de señores y Rey de reyes. Los que están con él son llamados, escogidos y fieles.

14 These will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with him are called, chosen, and faithful.”

15 También me dijo: Las aguas que viste, donde se sienta la prostituta, son pueblos, multitudes, naciones y lenguas.

15 He said to me, “The waters which you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages.

16 Los diez cuernos que viste, y la bestia, odiarán a la prostituta. La dejarán desolada y desnuda, comerán su carne y la quemarán con fuego.

16 The ten horns which you saw, they and the beast will hate the prostitute, will make her desolate, will strip her naked, will eat her flesh, and will burn her utterly with fire.

17 Porque Dios puso en sus corazones cumplir su propósito: ponerse de acuerdo y entregar su reino a la bestia, hasta que se cumplan las palabras de Dios.

17 For God has put in their hearts to do what he has in mind, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished.

18 La mujer que viste es la gran ciudad que reina sobre los reyes de la tierra.

18 The woman whom you saw is the great city which reigns over the kings of the earth.”

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

Quotes verse 17:15 Augustine of Hippo, Tractates on the Gospel of John (Chapter IV — 1-18)
For that peoples are signified under the name of waters the Apocalypse of John clearly indicates to us, where, after he had been shown many waters, and he had asked what they were, was answered that they were peoples. That water, then--namely, that people--was shut in by the five books of Moses, as by five porches.
