Revelation 22 Literal Standard Version
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 And he showed me [the] river of [the] water of life, radiant as crystal, going forth 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 in the midst of its street, and of the river on this side and on that—[the] Tree of Life, producing twelve fruits, yielding its fruit according to each month, and the leaves of the tree [are] for the healing of the 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 and there will no longer be any curse, and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His servants will serve 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 and they will see His face, and His Name [is] on their foreheads,
4 Y verán su cara; y su nombre [estará] en sus frentes.
5 and there will be no night there, and they have no need of [the] light of a lamp and of [the] light of [the] sun, because the LORD God gives them light, and they will reign through the ages of the ages.
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 And he said to me, “These words [are] steadfast and true, and the LORD God of the holy prophets sent His messenger to show to His servants the things that must come quickly.
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 Behold, I come quickly; blessed [is] he who is keeping the words of the prophecy of this scroll.”
7 Y he aquí, vengo presto. Bienaventurado el que guarda las palabras de la profecía de este libro.
8 And I, John, am he who is seeing these things and hearing, and when I heard and beheld, I fell down to worship before the feet of the messenger who is showing me these things;
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 and he says to me, “Behold—No! For I am your fellow servant, and of your brothers the prophets, and of those keeping the words of this scroll; 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 And He says to me, “You may not seal the words of the prophecy of this scroll, because the time is near.
10 Y me dijo: No selles las palabras de la profecía de este libro; porque el tiempo está cerca.
11 The [one] being unrighteous—let him be unrighteous still; and the filthy—let him be filthy still; and the righteous—let him do righteousness still; and the holy—let him be holy still.
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 Behold, I come quickly, and My reward [is] with Me, to render to each as his work will be;
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 the Omega—the Beginning and End—the First and the Last.
13 Yo soy Alpha y Omega, principio y fin, el primero y el postrero.
14 Blessed are those washing their robes that the authority will be theirs to the Tree of Life, and they may enter into the city by 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 and outside [are] the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the whoremongers, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and everyone cherishing and doing falsehood.
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, sent My messenger to testify to you these things concerning the assemblies; I am the root and the offspring of David, the radiant 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 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come! And he who is hearing—let him say, Come! And he who is thirsting—let him come; and he who is willing—let him take the water of life freely.
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 For I testify to everyone hearing the words of the prophecy of this scroll, if anyone may add to these, God will add to him the plagues that have been written in this scroll,
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 and if anyone may take away from the words of the scroll of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the Scroll of Life, and out of the holy city, and the things that have been written in this scroll.”
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 The [One] testifying [to] these things says, “Yes, I come quickly!” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!
20 El que da testimonio de estas cosas, dice: Ciertamente, vengo en breve. Amén, sea así. Ven, Señor Jesús.
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with all [[the holy ones. 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 …
