WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Después de esto vi que desde el cielo descendía otro ángel que, cubierto de gran autoridad, iluminó la tierra con su resplandor,
1 After these things, I saw another angel coming down out of the sky, having great authority. The earth was illuminated with his glory.
2 y con voz potente gritó: «¡Ya cayó, ya cayó la gran Babilonia! Babilonia se ha convertido en guarida de demonios, en antro de espíritus inmundos y en nido de toda ave impura y odiosa,
2 He cried with a mighty voice, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and she has become a habitation of demons, a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hated bird!
3 porque las naciones se han embriagado con el vino excitante de su adulterio, los gobernantes de la tierra se han entregado con ella a los placeres, y los comerciantes de la tierra se han enriquecido con la abundancia de lujos que ella despilfarraba».
3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality, the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from the abundance of her luxury.”
4 Entonces oí otra voz del cielo que decía: «Sal de esa ciudad, pueblo mío; no participes en su pecado para que no se te castigue con ella,
4 I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you don’t receive of her plagues,
5 porque sus pecados se han ido amontonando hasta el cielo y Dios va a juzgarla por su perversidad.
5 for her sins have reached to the sky, and God has remembered her iniquities.
6 Hazle a ella lo que ella te hizo a ti, e imponle doble castigo a sus maldades. En la copa en que preparó bebida para otros, prepárale una bebida dos veces más fuerte.
6 Return to her just as she returned, and repay her double as she did, and according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix to her double.
7 Ella ha vivido en derroches y en placeres sin límites; dale ahora dolores y penas sin límites. Ella se jacta diciendo: “En este trono soy reina. No soy ninguna viuda; nunca sufriré”.
7 However much she glorified herself and grew wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning. For she says in her heart, ‘I sit a queen, and am no widow, and will in no way see mourning.’
8 Por tanto, ¡en un solo día caerán sobre ella peste, llanto y hambre, y al final la consumirá el fuego! ¡Poderoso es el Señor Dios que la juzga!».
8 Therefore in one day her plagues will come: death, mourning, and famine; and she will be utterly burned with fire, for the Lord God who has judged her is strong.
9 Los gobernantes del mundo que tomaron parte en sus inmoralidades y se deleitaron con sus lujos, llorarán y lamentarán ante sus restos humeantes.
9 The kings of the earth who committed sexual immorality and lived wantonly with her will weep and wail over her, when they look at the smoke of her burning,
10 Desde la distancia, la contemplarán temblorosos de miedo al ver semejante castigo, y gritarán: «¡Pobre, pobre Babilonia, la gran ciudad poderosa! ¡En un instante te llegó el juicio!».
10 standing far away for the fear of her torment, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For your judgment has come in one hour.’
11 Los mercaderes de la tierra sollozarán y se lamentarán, porque ya no habrá nadie que les compre.
11 The merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise any more:
12 Ella era una gran cliente que compraba oro, plata, piedras preciosas y perlas; lino fino, púrpura y seda escarlata; maderas olorosas, objetos de marfil, maderas preciosas labradas, cobre, hierro y mármol;
12 merchandise of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple, silk, scarlet, all expensive wood, every vessel of ivory, every vessel made of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble;
13 canela, especias aromáticas, incienso, mirra, y perfumes; vino, aceite, harina fina y trigo; vacas, ovejas, caballos y carrozas; y hasta seres humanos vendidos como esclavos.
13 and cinnamon, incense, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, horses, chariots, and people’s bodies and souls.
14 «Ya no tienes los lujos que tanto te gustaban —le gritarán—. Ya no tienes el lujo y el esplendor en que te deleitabas. Jamás los volverás a tener».
14 The fruits which your soul lusted after have been lost to you. All things that were dainty and sumptuous have perished from you, and you will find them no more at all.
15 Los mercaderes que se habían enriquecido comerciando con aquella ciudad se pararán de lejos, aterrorizados de ver semejante castigo. Llorarán y dirán entre sollozos:
15 The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, will stand far away for the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning,
16 «¡Pobre, pobre de la gran ciudad, vestida de linos finos, púrpura y escarlata, y adornada con oro, piedras preciosas y perlas!
16 saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, she who was dressed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls!
17 ¡Cuánta riqueza se perdió en un instante!». Los navíos y los capitanes de las flotas mercantes, sus tripulaciones y sus pasajeros y todos los que viven del mar, se pararán lejos,
17 For in an hour such great riches are made desolate.’ Every ship master, and everyone who sails anywhere, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood far away,
18 y al contemplar el humo del incendio, dirán: «¿Dónde vamos a encontrar otra ciudad como esta?».
18 and cried out as they looked at the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like the great city?’
19 Y echándose tierra en la cabeza en señal de duelo, dirán ahogados por el llanto: «¡Ay, pobre de la gran ciudad que nos enriqueció con su gran riqueza! ¡En sólo una hora desapareció…!
19 They cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had their ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her great wealth!’ For she is made desolate in one hour.
20 Pero tú, cielo, regocíjate por lo que ha sucedido. Y regocíjense también los santos, los profetas y los apóstoles, porque al castigar a la gran ciudad, Dios les está haciendo justicia a ustedes».
20 “Rejoice over her, O heaven, you saints, apostles, and prophets, for God has judged your judgment on her.”
21 Entonces un ángel poderoso tomó una peña con forma de piedra de molino y la arrojó en el mar diciendo: «Babilonia, la gran ciudad, será arrojada como yo arrojé esta piedra, y desaparecerá para siempre.
21 A mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down, and will be found no more at all.
22 Nunca se volverá a escuchar en ella la música de los cantantes, el vibrar del arpa, la flauta y la trompeta. Jamás volverá a verse en ella industria de ningún tipo, y cesará la molienda de granos.
22 The voice of harpists, minstrels, flute players, and trumpeters will be heard no more at all in you. No craftsman of whatever craft will be found any more at all in you. The sound of a mill will be heard no more at all in you.
23 Negras serán sus noches, sin luz de lámparas en las ventanas. Jamás volverán a proclamarse alegrías nupciales, porque tus mercaderes eran los más prósperos de la tierra y engañaste a las naciones con tus hechicerías,
23 The light of a lamp will shine no more at all in you. The voice of the bridegroom and of the bride will be heard no more at all in you, for your merchants were the princes of the earth; for with your sorcery all the nations were deceived.
24 porque por ti se derramó sangre de profetas y santos y de todos los que han sido asesinados en toda la tierra».
24 In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth.”
