1 Vi a un ángel que descendía del cielo, con la llave del abismo y una gran cadena en la mano.
1 I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.
2 Prendió al dragón, la serpiente antigua, que es el diablo y Satanás, y lo ató por mil años.
2 He seized the dragon, the old serpent, who is the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole inhabited earth, and bound him for a thousand years,
3 Lo arrojó al abismo, lo encerró y puso un sello sobre él, para que no engañara más a las naciones hasta que se cumplieran los mil años. Después de esto, debe ser soltado por poco tiempo.
3 and cast him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more until the thousand years were finished. After this, he must be freed for a short time.
4 Vi tronos, y se sentaron sobre ellos los que recibieron autoridad para juzgar. También vi las almas de los que habían sido decapitados por el testimonio de Jesús y por la palabra de Dios. Ellos no habían adorado a la bestia ni a su imagen, ni habían recibido su marca en la frente ni en la mano. Vivieron y reinaron con Cristo mil años.
4 I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and such as didn’t worship the beast nor his image, and didn’t receive the mark on their forehead and on their hand. They lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
5 Los demás muertos no volvieron a vivir hasta que se cumplieron los mil años. Esta es la primera resurrección.
5 The rest of the dead didn’t live until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Dichoso y santo el que tiene parte en la primera resurrección. Sobre estos la segunda muerte no tiene poder, sino que serán sacerdotes de Dios y de Cristo, y reinarán con él mil años.
6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over these, the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with him one thousand years.
7 Cuando se cumplan los mil años, Satanás será soltado de su prisión.
7 And after the thousand years, Satan will be released from his prison
8 Saldrá a engañar a las naciones que están en los cuatro extremos de la tierra, a Gog y Magog, para reunirlas para la guerra. Su número es como la arena del mar.
8 and he will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war, whose number is as the sand of the sea.
9 Subieron por toda la anchura de la tierra y rodearon el campamento de los santos y la ciudad amada. Pero descendió fuego de Dios desde el cielo y los consumió.
9 They went up over the width of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. Fire came down out of heaven from God and devoured them.
10 El diablo, que los engañaba, fue arrojado al lago de fuego y azufre, donde también están la bestia y el falso profeta. Serán atormentados día y noche por los siglos de los siglos.
10 The devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet are also. They will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
11 Vi un gran trono blanco y al que estaba sentado en él. De su presencia huyeron la tierra y el cielo, y no se halló lugar para ellos.
11 I saw a great white throne and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the sky fled away. There was found no place for them.
12 Vi a los muertos, grandes y pequeños, de pie delante de Dios. Los libros fueron abiertos, y otro libro fue abierto, que es el libro de la vida. Los muertos fueron juzgados según sus obras, por las cosas escritas en los libros.
12 I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 El mar entregó los muertos que estaban en él. La muerte y el Hades entregaron los muertos que estaban en ellos, y cada uno fue juzgado según sus obras.

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).
… them sit down, and minister to them; or if this be in the second, or it be in the third, blessed are they." Again John also says the very same in the Apocalypse: "Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection." Then, too, Isaiah has declared the time when these events shall occur; he says: "And …
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power; but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years." Those who, on the strength of this passage, have suspected that the first resurrection is future and bodily, have been moved, among …

For after the times of the kingdom, he says, "I saw a great white throne, and Him who sat upon it, from whose face the earth fled away, and the heavens; and there was no more place for them." And he sets forth, too, the things connected with the general resurrection and the judgment, mentioning "the dead, great and small." …
do not ye judge them that are within?" "And the souls," says John, "of those who were slain for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God,"--understanding what he afterwards says, "reigned with Christ a thousand years," --that is, the souls of the martyrs not yet restored to their bodies.

Moreover," he says, "the book of life was opened, and the dead were judged out of those things that were written in the books, according to their works; and death and hell were sent into the lake of fire, the second death." Now this is what is called Gehenna, which the Lord styled eternal fire.
