GNV Geneva Bible (1599)

RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 Then I looked, and lo, a Lambe stood on mount Sion, and with him an hundreth, fourtie and foure thousand, hauing his Fathers Name written in their foreheads.

1 Y MIRÉ, y he aquí, el Cordero estaba sobre el monte de Sión, y con él ciento cuarenta y cuatro mil, que tenían el nombre de su Padre escrito en sus frentes.

2 And I heard a voyce from heauen, as the sound of many waters, and as the sound of a great thunder: and I heard the voyce of harpers harping with their harpes.

2 Y oí una voz del cielo como ruido de muchas aguas, y como sonido de un gran trueno: y oí una voz de tañedores de arpas que tañían con sus arpas:

3 And they sung as it were a newe song before the throne, and before the foure beasts, and the Elders: and no man could learne that song, but the hundreth, fourtie and foure thousand, which were bought from the earth.

3 Y cantaban como un cántico nuevo delante del trono, y delante de los cuatro animales, y de los ancianos: y ninguno podía aprender el cántico sino aquellos ciento cuarenta y cuatro mil, los cuales fueron comprados de entre los de la tierra.

4 These are they, which are not defiled with women: for they are virgins: these follow the Lambe whithersoeuer he goeth: these are bought from men, being the first fruites vnto God, and to the Lambe.

4 Estos son los que con mujeres no fueron contaminados; porque son vírgenes. Estos, los que siguen al Cordero por donde quiera que fuere. Estos fueron comprados de entre los hombres por primicias para Dios y para el Cordero.

5 And in their mouthes was found no guile: for they are without spot before the throne of God.

5 Y en sus bocas no ha sido hallado engaño; porque ellos son sin mácula delante del trono de Dios.

6 Then I sawe another Angel flie in the mids of heauen, hauing an euerlasting Gospel, to preach vnto them that dwell on the earth, and to euery nation, and kinred, and tongue, and people,

6 Y vi otro ángel volar por en medio del cielo, que tenía el evangelio eterno para predicarlo á los que moran en la tierra, y á toda nación y tribu y lengua y pueblo,

7 Saying with a loude voyce, Feare God, and giue glory to him: for the houre of his iugdement is come: and woriship him that made heauen and earth, and the sea, and the fountaines of waters.

7 Diciendo en alta voz: Temed á Dios, y dadle honra; porque la hora de su juicio es venida; y adorad á aquel que ha hecho el cielo y la tierra y el mar y las fuentes de las aguas.

8 And there followed another Angel, saying, Babylon that great citie is fallen, it is fallen: for she made all nations to drinke of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

8 Y otro ángel le siguió, diciendo: Ha caído, ha caído Babilonia, aquella grande ciudad, porque ella ha dado á beber á todas las naciones del vino del furor de su fornicación.

9 And the third Angel followed them, saying with a loude voyce, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receiue his marke in his forehead, or on his hand,

9 Y el tercer ángel los siguió, diciendo en alta voz: Si alguno adora á la bestia y á su imagen, y toma la señal en su frente, ó en su mano,

10 The same shall drinke of the wine of ye wrath of God, yea, of the pure wine, which is powred into the cup of his wrath, and he shalbe tormented in fire and brimstone before the holy Angels, and before the Lambe.

10 Este también beberá del vino de la ira de Dios, el cual está echado puro en el cáliz de su ira; y será atormentado con fuego y azufre delante de los santos ángeles, y delante del Cordero:

11 And the smoke of their torment shall ascend euermore: and they shall haue no rest day nor night, which worship the beast and his image, and whosoeuer receiueth the print of his name.

11 Y el humo del tormento de ellos sube para siempre jamás. Y los que adoran á la bestia y á su imagen, no tienen reposo día ni noche, ni cualquiera que tomare la señal de su nombre.

12 Here is the patience of Saints: here are they that keepe the commandements of God, and the fayth of Iesus.

12 Aquí está la paciencia de los santos; aquí [están] los que guardan los mandamientos de Dios, y la fe de Jesús.

13 Then I heard a voyce from heauen, saying vnto me, Write, The dead which die in the Lord, are fully blessed. Euen so sayth the Spirit: for they rest from their labours, and their workes follow them.

13 Y oí una voz del cielo que me decía: Escribe: Bienaventurados los muertos que de aquí adelante mueren en el Señor. Sí, dice el Espíritu, que descansarán de sus trabajos; porque sus obras con ellos siguen.

14 And I looked, and behold, a white cloude, and vpon the cloude one sitting like vnto the Sonne of man, hauing on his head a golden crowne, and in his hand a sharpe sickle.

14 Y miré, y he aquí una nube blanca; y sobre la nube uno sentado semejante al Hijo del hombre, que tenía en su cabeza una corona de oro, y en su mano una hoz aguda.

15 And another Angel came out of the Temple, crying with a loude voyce to him that sate on the cloude, Thrust in thy sickle and reape: for the time is come to reape: for the haruest of the earth is ripe.

15 Y otro ángel salió del templo, clamando en alta voz al que estaba sentado sobre la nube: Mete tu hoz, y siega; porque la hora de segar [te] es venida, porque la mies de la tierra está madura.

16 And he that sate on the cloude, thrust in his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.

16 Y el que estaba sentado sobre la nube echó su hoz sobre la tierra, y la tierra fué segada.

17 Then an other Angel came out of the Temple, which is in heauen, hauing also a sharpe sickle.

17 Y salió otro ángel del templo que está en el cielo, teniendo también una hoz aguda.

18 And another Angel came out from the altar, which had power ouer fire, and cryed with a loude crie to him that had the sharpe sickle, and sayd, Thrust in thy sharpe sickle, and gather the clusters of the vineyard of the earth: for her grapes are ripe.

18 Y otro ángel salió del altar, el cual tenía poder sobre el fuego, y clamó con gran voz al que tenía la hoz aguda, diciendo: Mete tu hoz aguda, y vendimia los racimos de la tierra; porque están maduras sus uvas.

19 And the Angel thrust in his sharpe sickle on the earth, and cut downe the vines of the vineyard of the earth, and cast them into that great wine presse of the wrath of God.

19 Y el ángel echó su hoz aguda en la tierra, y vendimió la viña de la tierra, y echó [la uva] en el grande lagar de la ira de Dios.

20 And the wine presse was troden without the citie, and blood came out of the wine presse, vnto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and sixe hundreth furlongs.

20 Y el lagar fué hollado fuera de la ciudad, y del lagar salió sangre hasta los frenos de los caballos por mil y seiscientos estadios.

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 14:13 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XX, Chapter 9)
And therefore in another part of this same book we read, "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth and now, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; for their works do follow them." The Church, then, begins its reign with Christ now in the living and in the dead.
