RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 I was given a measuring rod and told, “Get up and measure the Temple of God, and the altar, and count those who are worshiping there.

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 Don't measure the court outside the Temple, leave that, because it has been handed over to the nations. They will trample down the holy city for forty-two 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 I will give my two witnesses power, and they will prophesy 1,260 days, dressed in sackcloth.”

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

4 They are the two olive trees and the two candlesticks that stand in front of the Lord of the earth.

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

5 If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes out of their mouths and burns up their enemies. This is how anyone who tries to harm them will be killed.

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 two witnesses have the power to close the sky so that it will not rain during the time of their prophecy. They also have the power to turn the waters into blood, and to strike the earth with all kinds of plagues, as often as they want.

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 When they finish their testimony, the beast coming from the Abyss will attack them, defeat 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 Their dead bodies will lie on the open street of the great city, called Sodom and Egypt in spiritual symbolism—also the place where their Lord 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 For three and a half days those from the peoples and tribes and languages and nations will look at their dead bodies, and will not allow their corpses to be buried.

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 The inhabitants of the earth are delighted they are dead, and celebrate, sending gifts to each other, because these two prophets had been a torment to them.

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 But three and half days later God's life-giving breath entered them and they stood on their feet. Those who saw this were absolutely terrified.

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 The two witnesses heard a loud voice from heaven telling them, “Come up here!” So they ascended to heaven in a cloud while their enemies watched.

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 At the same time there was a huge earthquake, and one tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified, 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 Disaster is over; the third Disaster is about to arrive!

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

15 The seventh angel blew his trumpet, and loud voices shouted in heaven, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ, and he shall reign for ever and ever.”

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 The twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones in God's presence fell down on their faces and worshiped God.

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

17 They said, “We thank you, Lord God, the All-powerful One, who is and was, because you have taken up your great power and have asserted your rule.”

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 The nations became furious, but your judgment has come, the time when the dead will be judged. This is the time when your servants the prophets and the believers will be given their reward, those who respect your authority, both the weak and the powerful. This is also the time when you will destroy those who destroy 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 Then the Temple of God in heaven was opened, and the Ark of the Agreement could be seen inside his Temple. There were lightning flashes, the sound of thunder, an earthquake, and a great hailstorm.

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.

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 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."
