1 The angel showed me the river of water of life, crystal-clear, flowing out of the throne of God and of the Lamb,
1 DESPUÉS me mostró un río limpio de agua de vida, resplandeciente como cristal, que salía del trono de Dios y del Cordero.
2 right in the middle of the main street of the city. On both sides of the river was the tree of life, producing twelve crops of fruit, one every month. The leaves of the tree were used to heal people from all nations.
2 En el medio de la plaza de ella, y de la una y de la otra parte del río, estaba el árbol de la vida, que lleva doce frutos, dando cada mes su fruto: y las hojas del árbol eran para la sanidad de las naciones.
3 There will no longer be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be there in the city, and his servants will worship him.
3 Y no habrá más maldición; sino que el trono de Dios y del Cordero estará en ella, y sus siervos le servirán.
4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.
4 Y verán su cara; y su nombre [estará] en sus frentes.
5 There will be no more night, and they will not need the light of a lamp, or the light of the sun, because the Lord God will give them light. They shall reign for ever and ever.
5 Y allí no habrá más noche; y no tienen necesidad de lumbre de antorcha, ni de lumbre de sol: porque el Señor Dios los alumbrará: y reinarán para siempre jamás.
6 The angel told me, “These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord God, who gave his Spirit to the prophets, sent his angel to show his servants what is about to happen.”
6 Y me dijo: Estas palabras son fieles y verdaderas. Y el Señor Dios de los santos profetas ha enviado su ángel, para mostrar á sus siervos las cosas que es necesario que sean hechas presto.
7 “I am coming soon! Blessed are those who obey the prophetic words of this book.”
7 Y he aquí, vengo presto. Bienaventurado el que guarda las palabras de la profecía de este libro.
8 I am John who heard and saw all this. When I heard and saw them, I fell down at the feet of the angel who had shown me these things to worship him.
8 Yo Juan soy el que ha oído y visto estas cosas. Y después que hube oído y visto, me postré para adorar delante de los pies del ángel que me mostraba estas cosas.
9 He told me, “Don't do that! I am one of God's servants just as you are, together with your brothers the prophets, and those who obey the words of this book. Worship God!”
9 Y él me dijo: Mira que no lo hagas: porque yo soy siervo contigo, y con tus hermanos los profetas, y con los que guardan las palabras de este libro. Adora á Dios.
10 Then he told me, “Don't seal up the words of prophecy of this book and keep them secret, for the time is near.
10 Y me dijo: No selles las palabras de la profecía de este libro; porque el tiempo está cerca.
11 Whoever doesn't do what is right, let them stay that way. Whoever is impure, let them stay that way. Whoever does what is right, let them stay that way. Whoever is holy, let them stay that way.”
11 El que es injusto, sea injusto todavía: y el que es sucio, ensúciese todavía: y el que es justo, sea todavía justificado: y el santo sea santificado todavía.
12 “I am coming soon, and I am bringing my reward to give to everybody based on what they've done.
12 Y he aquí, yo vengo presto, y mi galardón conmigo, para recompensar á cada uno según fuere su obra.
13 I am the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
13 Yo soy Alpha y Omega, principio y fin, el primero y el postrero.
14 Blessed are those who wash their robes so that they have the right to the tree of life, and can enter into the city through the gates.
14 Bienaventurados los que guardan sus mandamientos, para que su potencia sea en el árbol de la vida, y que entren por las puertas en la ciudad.
15 Those outside the city are dogs, those who practice witchcraft, those who are sexually immoral, those who murder, those who worship idols, and all those who love and invent lies.
15 Mas los perros estarán fuera, y los hechiceros, y los disolutos, y los homicidas, y los idólatras, y cualquiera que ama y hace mentira.
16 I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony to share with the churches. I am both the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.”
16 Yo Jesús he enviado mi ángel para daros testimonio de estas cosas en las iglesias. Yo soy la raíz y el linaje de David, la estrella resplandeciente, y de la mañana.
17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” Whoever hears this, say, “Come.” Whoever is thirsty, come, and whoever wants to, freely drink of the water of life.
17 Y el Espíritu y la Esposa dicen: Ven. Y el que oye, diga: Ven. Y el que tiene sed, venga: y el que quiere, tome del agua de la vida de balde.
18 I solemnly declare to everyone who hears the prophetic words of this book that if anyone adds to them then God will add to them the plagues described in this book.
18 Porque yo protesto á cualquiera que oye las palabras de la profecía de este libro: Si alguno añadiere á estas cosas, Dios pondrá sobre él las plagas que están escritas en este libro.
19 If anyone takes away the prophetic words of this book, God will take away their share of the tree of life and of the holy city that are described in this book.
19 Y si alguno quitare de las palabras del libro de esta profecía, Dios quitará su parte del libro de la vida, y de la santa ciudad, y de las cosas que están escritas en este libro.
20 He who confirms all this says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen, come, Lord Jesus.
20 El que da testimonio de estas cosas, dice: Ciertamente, vengo en breve. Amén, sea así. Ven, Señor Jesús.
21 May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with the believers. Amen.
21 La gracia de nuestro Señor Jesucristo sea con todos vosotros. Amén.

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).
And thus He forewarns us: "Behold, the Lord [cometh], and His reward is before His face, to render to every man according to his work." He exhorts us, therefore, with our whole heart to attend to this, that we be not lazy or slothful in any good work.
… easy to obtain from the Church; since the apostles, like a rich man [depositing his money] in a bank, lodged in her hands most copiously all things pertaining to the truth: so that every man, whosoever will, can draw from her the water of life. For she is the entrance to life; all others are thieves and robbers.
But said the angel, "Rise; see thou do it not: worship God, for I am thy fellow-servant, and the brethren's." An angel, then, forbade a man to fall down at his feet.

He says, "be consummated," be completed, according to that in the Apocalypse, "Let the righteous become more righteous, and let the filthy be filthy still." For the wickedness of those men appears consummate, who crucified the Son of God; but greater is theirs who will not live uprightly, and hate the precepts of truth, for whom the Son of God …
