RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and it was said to me: Arise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar and them that adore therein.

1 Y ME fué dada una caña semejante á una vara, y se me dijo: Levántate, y mide el templo de Dios, y el altar, y á los que adoran en él.

2 But the court, which is without the temple, cast out, and measure it not: because it is given unto the Gentiles, and the holy city they shall tread under foot two and forty months:

2 Y echa fuera el patio que está fuera del templo, y no lo midas, porque es dado á los Gentiles; y hollarán la ciudad santa cuarenta y dos meses.

3 And I will give unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.

3 Y daré á mis dos testigos, y ellos profetizarán por mil doscientos y sesenta días, vestidos de sacos.

4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks, that stand before the Lord of the earth.

4 Estas son las dos olivas, y los dos candeleros que están delante del Dios de la tierra.

5 And if any man will hurt them, fire shall come out of their mouths, and shall devour their enemies. And if any man will hurt them, in this manner must he be slain.

5 Y si alguno les quisiere dañar, sale fuego de la boca de ellos, y devora á sus enemigos: y si alguno les quisiere hacer daño, es necesario que él sea así muerto.

6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and they have power over waters to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues as often as they will.

6 Estos tienen potestad de cerrar el cielo, que no llueva en los días de su profecía, y tienen poder sobre las aguas para convertirlas en sangre, y para herir la tierra con toda plaga cuantas veces quisieren.

7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast, that ascendeth out of the abyss, shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

7 Y cuando ellos hubieren acabado su testimonio, la bestia que sube del abismo hará guerra contra ellos, y los vencerá, y los matará.

8 And their bodies shall lie in the streets of the great city, which is called spiritually, Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord also was crucified.

8 Y sus cuerpos serán [echados] en las plazas de la grande ciudad, que espiritualmente es llamada Sodoma y Egipto, donde también nuestro Señor fué crucificado.

9 And they of the tribes, and peoples, and tongues, and nations, shall see their bodies for three days and a half: and they shall not suffer their bodies to be laid in sepulchres.

9 Y los de los linajes, y de los pueblos, y de las lenguas, y de los Gentiles verán los cuerpos de ellos por tres días y medio, y no permitirán que sus cuerpos sean puestos en sepulcros.

10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry: and shall send gifts one to another, because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt upon the earth.

10 Y los moradores de la tierra se gozarán sobre ellos, y se alegrarán, y se enviarán dones los unos á los otros; porque estos dos profetas han atormentado á los que moran sobre la tierra.

11 And after three days and a half, the spirit of life from God entered into them. And they stood upon their feet, and great fear fell upon them that saw them.

11 Y después de tres días y medio el espíritu de vida [enviado] de Dios, entró en ellos, y se alzaron sobre sus pies, y vino gran temor sobre los que los vieron.

12 And they heard a great voice from heaven, saying to them: Come up hither. And they went up to heaven in a cloud: and their enemies saw them.

12 Y oyeron una grande voz del cielo, que les decía: Subid acá. Y subieron al cielo en una nube, y sus enemigos los vieron.

13 And at that hour there was made a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell: and there were slain in the earthquake names of men seven thousand: and the rest were cast into a fear, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

13 Y en aquella hora fué hecho gran temblor de tierra, y la décima parte de la ciudad cayó, y fueron muertos en el temblor de tierra en número de siete mil hombres: y los demás fueron espantados, y dieron gloria al Dios del cielo.

14 The second woe is past: and behold the third woe will come quickly.

14 El segundo ¡Ay! es pasado: he aquí, el tercer ¡Ay! vendrá presto.

15 And the seventh angel sounded the trumpet: and there were great voices in heaven, saying: The kingdom of this world is become our Lord’s and his Christ’s, and he shall reign for ever and ever. Amen.

15 Y el séptimo ángel tocó la trompeta, y fueron hechas grandes voces en el cielo, que decían: Los reinos del mundo han venido á ser [los reinos] de nuestro Señor, y de su Cristo: y reinará para siempre jamás.

16 And the four and twenty ancients, who sit on their seats in the sight of God, fell on their faces and adored God, saying:

16 Y los veinticuatro ancianos que estaban sentados delante de Dios en sus sillas, se postraron sobre sus rostros, y adoraron á Dios,

17 We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, who art, and who wast, and who art to come: because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and thou hast reigned.

17 Diciendo: Te damos gracias, Señor Dios Todopoderoso, que eres y que eras y que has de venir, porque has tomado tu grande potencia, y has reinado.

18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest render reward to thy servants the prophets and the saints, and to them that fear thy name, little and great, and shouldest destroy them who have corrupted the earth.

18 Y se han airado las naciones, y tu ira es venida, y el tiempo de los muertos, para que sean juzgados, y para que des el galardón á tus siervos los profetas, y á los santos, y á los que temen tu nombre, á los pequeñitos y á los grandes, y para que destruyas los que destruyen la tierra.

19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven: and the ark of his testament was seen in his temple, and there were lightnings, and voices, and an earthquake, and great hail.

19 Y el templo de Dios fué abierto en el cielo, y el arca de su testamento fué vista en su templo. Y fueron hechos relámpagos y voces y truenos y terremotos y grande granizo.

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 11:19 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book IV, Chapter XVIII)
The altar, then, is in heaven (for towards that place are our prayers and oblations directed); the temple likewise [is there], as John says in the Apocalypse, "And the temple of God was opened:" the tabernacle also: "For, behold," He says, "the tabernacle of God, in which He will dwell with men."
