WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 και ειδον αγγελον καταβαινοντα εκ του ουρανου εχοντα την κλειν τησ αβυσσου και αλυσιν μεγαλην επι την χειρα αυτου
1 Y VI un ángel descender del cielo, que tenía la llave del abismo, y una grande cadena en su mano.
1 I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.
2 και εκρατησεν τον δρακοντα τον οφιν τον αρχαιον οσ εστιν διαβολοσ και ο σατανασ ο πλανων την οικουμενην ολην και εδησεν αυτον χιλια ετη
2 Y prendió al dragón, aquella serpiente antigua, que es el Diablo y Satanás, y le ató por mil 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 και εβαλεν αυτον εισ την αβυσσον και εκλεισεν και εσφραγισεν επανω αυτου ινα μη πλανα ετι τα εθνη αχρι τελεσθη τα χιλια ετη και μετα ταυτα δει αυτον λυθηναι μικρον χρονον
3 Y arrojólo al abismo, y le encerró, y selló sobre él, porque no engañe más á las naciones, hasta que mil años sean cumplidos: y después de esto es necesario que sea desatado un poco de 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 και ειδον θρονουσ και εκαθισαν επ αυτουσ και κριμα εδοθη αυτοισ και τασ ψυχασ των πεπελεκισμενων δια την μαρτυριαν ιησου και δια τον λογον του θεου και οιτινεσ ου προσεκυνησαν το θηριον ουδε την εικονα αυτου και ουκ ελαβον το χαραγμα επι το μετωπον και επι την χειρα αυτων και εζησαν και εβασιλευσαν μετα του χριστου τα χιλια ετη
4 Y vi tronos, y se sentaron sobre ellos, y les fué dado juicio; y [vi] las almas de los degollados por el testimonio de Jesús, y por la palabra de Dios, y que no habían adorado la bestia, ni á su imagen, y que no recibieron la señal en sus frentes, ni en sus manos; y vivieron y reinaron con Cristo mil 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 και οι λοιποι των νεκρων ουκ εζησαν αχρι τελεσθη τα χιλια ετη αυτη η αναστασισ η πρωτη
5 Mas los otros muertos no tornaron á vivir hasta que sean cumplidos mil años. Esta es la primera resurrección.
5 The rest of the dead didn’t live until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 μακαριοσ και αγιοσ ο εχων μεροσ εν τη αναστασει τη πρωτη επι τουτων ο δευτεροσ θανατοσ ουκ εχει εξουσιαν αλλ εσονται ιερεισ του θεου και του χριστου και βασιλευσουσιν μετ αυτου χιλια ετη
6 Bienaventurado y santo el que tiene parte en la primera resurrección: la segunda muerte no tiene potestad en éstos; antes serán sacerdotes de Dios y de Cristo, y reinarán con él mil 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 και οταν τελεσθη τα χιλια ετη λυθησεται ο σατανασ εκ τησ φυλακησ αυτου
7 Y cuando los mil años fueren cumplidos, Satanás será suelto de su prisión,
7 And after the thousand years, Satan will be released from his prison
8 και εξελευσεται πλανησαι τα εθνη τα εν ταισ τεσσαρσιν γωνιαισ τησ γησ τον γωγ και τον μαγωγ συναγαγειν αυτουσ εισ τον πολεμον ων ο αριθμοσ ωσ η αμμοσ τησ θαλασσησ
8 Y saldrá para engañar las naciones que están sobre los cuatro ángulos de la tierra, á Gog y á Magog, á fin de congregarlos para la batalla; el número de los cuales 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 και ανεβησαν επι το πλατοσ τησ γησ και εκυκλωσαν την παρεμβολην των αγιων και την πολιν την ηγαπημενην και κατεβη πυρ εκ του ουρανου απο του θεου και κατεφαγεν αυτουσ
9 Y subieron sobre la anchura de la tierra, y circundaron el campo de los santos, y la ciudad amada: y de Dios descendió fuego del cielo, y los devoró.
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 και ο διαβολοσ ο πλανων αυτουσ εβληθη εισ την λιμνην του πυροσ και θειου οπου και το θηριον και ο ψευδοπροφητησ και βασανισθησονται ημερασ και νυκτοσ εισ τουσ αιωνασ των αιωνων
10 Y el diablo que los engañaba, fué lanzado en el lago de fuego y azufre, donde está la bestia y el falso profeta; y serán atormentados día y noche para siempre jamás.
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 και ειδον θρονον μεγαν λευκον και τον καθημενον επ αυτον ου απο προσωπου εφυγεν η γη και ο ουρανοσ και τοποσ ουχ ευρεθη αυτοισ
11 Y vi un gran trono blanco y al que estaba sentado sobre él, de delante del cual huyó la tierra y el cielo; y no fué hallado 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 και ειδον τουσ νεκρουσ τουσ μεγαλουσ και τουσ μικρουσ εστωτασ ενωπιον του θρονου και βιβλια ηνεωχθησαν και αλλο βιβλιον ηνεωχθη ο εστιν τησ ζωησ και εκριθησαν οι νεκροι εκ των γεγραμμενων εν τοισ βιβλιοισ κατα τα εργα αυτων
12 Y vi los muertos, grandes y pequeños, que estaban delante de Dios; y los libros fueron abiertos: y otro libro fué abierto, el cual es de la vida: y fueron juzgados los muertos por las cosas que estaban escritas en los libros, 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 και εδωκεν η θαλασσα τουσ νεκρουσ τουσ εν αυτη και ο θανατοσ και ο αδησ εδωκαν τουσ νεκρουσ τουσ εν αυτοισ και εκριθησαν εκαστοσ κατα τα εργα αυτων
13 Y el mar dió los muertos que estaban en él; y la muerte y el infierno dieron los muertos que estaban en ellos; y fué hecho juicio de 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 και ο θανατοσ και ο αδησ εβληθησαν εισ την λιμνην του πυροσ ουτοσ ο θανατοσ ο δευτεροσ εστιν η λιμνη του πυροσ
14 Y el infierno y la muerte fueron lanzados en el lago de fuego. Esta es la muerte segunda.
14 Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.
15 και ει τισ ουχ ευρεθη εν τω βιβλιω τησ ζωησ γεγραμμενοσ εβληθη εισ την λιμνην του πυροσ
15 Y el que no fué hallado escrito en el libro de la vida, fué lanzado en el 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.
