1 Después de estas cosas miré, y vi una puerta abierta en el cielo. La primera voz que oí, como de trompeta, hablaba conmigo y decía: Sube acá, y te mostraré las cosas que deben suceder después de estas.
1 After these things I looked and saw a door opened in heaven; and the first voice that I heard, like a trumpet speaking with me, was one saying, “Come up here, and I will show you the things which must happen after this.”
2 Al instante estaba yo en el Espíritu, y vi un trono puesto en el cielo, y en el trono había uno sentado.
2 Immediately I was in the Spirit. Behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting on the throne
3 El que estaba sentado tenía apariencia semejante a jaspe y cornalina. Alrededor del trono había un arco iris semejante a una esmeralda.
3 that looked like a jasper stone and a sardius. There was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald to look at.
4 Alrededor del trono había veinticuatro tronos, y en los tronos vi sentados a veinticuatro ancianos, vestidos de vestiduras blancas, con coronas de oro en la cabeza.
4 Around the throne were twenty-four thrones. On the thrones were twenty-four elders sitting, dressed in white garments, with crowns of gold on their heads.
5 Del trono salían relámpagos, voces y truenos. Delante del trono ardían siete antorchas de fuego, que son los siete Espíritus de Dios.
5 Out of the throne proceed lightnings, sounds, and thunders. There were seven lamps of fire burning before his throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
6 Delante del trono había como un mar de vidrio, semejante al cristal. En medio del trono y alrededor del trono había cuatro seres vivientes llenos de ojos por delante y por detrás.
6 Before the throne was something like a sea of glass, similar to crystal. In the middle of the throne, and around the throne were four living creatures full of eyes before and behind.
7 El primer ser viviente era semejante a un león; el segundo, semejante a un becerro; el tercero tenía rostro como de hombre; y el cuarto era semejante a un águila volando.
7 The first creature was like a lion, the second creature like a calf, the third creature had a face like a man, and the fourth was like a flying eagle.
8 Los cuatro seres vivientes tenían cada uno seis alas, y estaban llenos de ojos alrededor y por dentro. Día y noche no dejaban de decir: Santo, santo, santo es el Señor Dios Todopoderoso, el que era, que es y que ha de venir.
8 The four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within. They have no rest day and night, saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come!”
9 Cada vez que los seres vivientes dan gloria, honra y acción de gracias al que está sentado en el trono, al que vive por los siglos de los siglos,
9 When the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to him who sits on the throne, to him who lives forever and ever,
10 los veinticuatro ancianos se postran delante del que está sentado en el trono, adoran al que vive por los siglos de los siglos, y ponen sus coronas delante del trono, diciendo:
10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever, and throw their crowns before the throne, saying,
11 Digno eres, Señor y Dios nuestro, de recibir la gloria, la honra y el poder, porque tú creaste todas las cosas, y por tu voluntad existen y fueron creadas.
11 “Worthy are you, our Lord and God, the Holy One, to receive the glory, the honor, and the power, for you created all things, and because of your desire they existed and were created!”
