1 Vi a un ángel que descendía del cielo. Tenía en su mano la llave del abismo y una gran cadena.
1 I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.
2 Arrestó al dragón, la serpiente antigua, que es [el] diablo y Satanás, y lo ató por 1.000 años.
2 He seized the dragon, the old serpent, who is the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole inhabited earth, and bound him for a thousand years,
3 Lo lanzó. Cerró el abismo y puso un sello encima de él para que [el dragón ]ya no engañara a las naciones hasta que se cumplieran los 1.000 años. Después de esto debe ser desatado por poco tiempo.
3 and cast him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more until the thousand years were finished. After this, he must be freed for a short time.
4 Vi tronos. A los que se sentaron en ellos se les dio [autoridad para] juzgar. También [vi] las almas de los decapitados por causa del testimonio de Jesús y de la Palabra de Dios. Éstos no adoraron a la bestia ni a su imagen, ni recibieron la marca en la frente ni en su mano. Vivieron y reinaron con Cristo 1.000 años.
4 I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and such as didn’t worship the beast nor his image, and didn’t receive the mark on their forehead and on their hand. They lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
5 Los demás muertos no volverían a vivir hasta cuando se cumplieran los 1.000 años.
5 The rest of the dead didn’t live until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Inmensamente feliz y santo el que tiene parte en la primera resurrección. La muerte segunda no tiene poder sobre éstos, sino serán sacerdotes de Dios y de Cristo, y reinarán con Él 1.000 años.
6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over these, the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with him one thousand years.
7 Cuando se cumplan los 1.000 años, Satanás será soltado de su prisión,
7 And after the thousand years, Satan will be released from his prison
8 y saldrá para engañar a las naciones que están en los cuatro puntos [cardinales] de la tierra, a Gog y Magog, a fin de reunirlos para la batalla. El número de ellos es como la arena del mar.
8 and he will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war, whose number is as the sand of the sea.
9 Subieron sobre la anchura de la tierra. Rodearon el campamento de los santos y la ciudad amada, pero descendió fuego del cielo y los consumió.
9 They went up over the width of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. Fire came down out of heaven from God and devoured them.
10 El diablo que los engañaba fue lanzado al lago de fuego y azufre, donde están la bestia y el falso profeta. Serán atormentados de día y de noche por los siglos de los siglos.
10 The devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet are also. They will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
11 Vi un gran trono blanco y al que estaba sentado en él. La tierra y el cielo huyeron de su presencia, y no se halló [el] lugar de ellos.
11 I saw a great white throne and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the sky fled away. There was found no place for them.
12 Vi a los muertos, los grandes y los pequeños, en pie delante del trono. Y unos rollos fueron abiertos. También fue abierto [el rollo de ]la vida. Los muertos fueron juzgados por [las cosas ]escritas en los rollos, según sus obras.
12 I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 El mar entregó a los muertos [que había] en él, y la muerte y el Hades entregaron los [que había ]en ellos. Fueron juzgados, cada uno según sus obras.
13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works.
14 La muerte y el Hades fueron lanzados al lago de fuego. Ésta es la muerte segunda: el lago de fuego.
14 Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.
15 Si alguno no se halló inscrito en el rollo de la vida, fue lanzado al lago de fuego.
15 If anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

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).
… them sit down, and minister to them; or if this be in the second, or it be in the third, blessed are they." Again John also says the very same in the Apocalypse: "Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection." Then, too, Isaiah has declared the time when these events shall occur; he says: "And …
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power; but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years." Those who, on the strength of this passage, have suspected that the first resurrection is future and bodily, have been moved, among …

For after the times of the kingdom, he says, "I saw a great white throne, and Him who sat upon it, from whose face the earth fled away, and the heavens; and there was no more place for them." And he sets forth, too, the things connected with the general resurrection and the judgment, mentioning "the dead, great and small." …
do not ye judge them that are within?" "And the souls," says John, "of those who were slain for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God,"--understanding what he afterwards says, "reigned with Christ a thousand years," --that is, the souls of the martyrs not yet restored to their bodies.

Moreover," he says, "the book of life was opened, and the dead were judged out of those things that were written in the books, according to their works; and death and hell were sent into the lake of fire, the second death." Now this is what is called Gehenna, which the Lord styled eternal fire.
