WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 وَأَرَانِي نَهْرًا صَافِيًا مِنْ مَاءِ حَيَاةٍ لَامِعًا كَبَلُّورٍ، خَارِجًا مِنْ عَرْشِ ٱللهِ وَٱلْخَرُوفِ.
1 DESPUÉS me mostró un río limpio de agua de vida, resplandeciente como cristal, que salía del trono de Dios y del Cordero.
1 He showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb,
2 فِي وَسَطِ سُوقِهَا وَعَلَى ٱلنَّهْرِ مِنْ هُنَا وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ، شَجَرَةُ حَيَاةٍ تَصْنَعُ ٱثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ ثَمَرَةً، وَتُعْطِي كُلَّ شَهْرٍ ثَمَرَهَا، وَوَرَقُ ٱلشَّجَرَةِ لِشِفَاءِ ٱلْأُمَمِ.
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.
2 in the middle of its street. On this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruits, yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
3 وَلَا تَكُونُ لَعْنَةٌ مَا فِي مَا بَعْدُ. وَعَرْشُ ٱللهِ وَٱلْخَرُوفِ يَكُونُ فِيهَا، وَعَبِيدُهُ يَخْدِمُونَهُ.
3 Y no habrá más maldición; sino que el trono de Dios y del Cordero estará en ella, y sus siervos le servirán.
3 There will be no curse any more. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will serve him.
4 وَهُمْ سَيَنْظُرُونَ وَجْهَهُ، وَٱسْمُهُ عَلَى جِبَاهِهِمْ.
4 Y verán su cara; y su nombre [estará] en sus frentes.
4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.
5 وَلَا يَكُونُ لَيْلٌ هُنَاكَ، وَلَا يَحْتَاجُونَ إِلَى سِرَاجٍ أَوْ نُورِ شَمْسٍ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلْإِلَهَ يُنِيرُ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَهُمْ سَيَمْلِكُونَ إِلَى أَبَدِ ٱلْآبِدِينَ.
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.
5 There will be no night, and they need no lamp light or sun light; for the Lord God will illuminate them. They will reign forever and ever.
6 ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: «هَذِهِ ٱلْأَقْوَالُ أَمِينَةٌ وَصَادِقَةٌ. وَٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ أَرْسَلَ مَلَاكَهُ لِيُرِيَ عَبِيدَهُ مَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَكُونَ سَرِيعًا».
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.
6 He said to me, “These words are faithful and true. The Lord God of the spirits of the prophets sent his angel to show to his bondservants the things which must happen soon.”
7 «هَا أَنَا آتِي سَرِيعًا. طُوبَى لِمَنْ يَحْفَظُ أَقْوَالَ نُبُوَّةِ هَذَا ٱلْكِتَابِ».
7 Y he aquí, vengo presto. Bienaventurado el que guarda las palabras de la profecía de este libro.
7 “Behold, I am coming soon! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”
8 وَأَنَا يُوحَنَّا ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يَنْظُرُ وَيَسْمَعُ هَذَا. وَحِينَ سَمِعْتُ وَنَظَرْتُ، خَرَرْتُ لِأَسْجُدَ أَمَامَ رِجْلَيِ ٱلْمَلَاكِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يُرِينِي هَذَا.
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.
8 Now I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. When I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who had shown me these things.
9 فَقَالَ لِيَ: «ٱنْظُرْ لَا تَفْعَلْ! لِأَنِّي عَبْدٌ مَعَكَ وَمَعَ إِخْوَتِكَ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ، وَٱلَّذِينَ يَحْفَظُونَ أَقْوَالَ هَذَا ٱلْكِتَابِ. ٱسْجُدْ لِلهِ!».
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.
9 He said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow bondservant with you and with your brothers, the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”
10 وَقَالَ لِي: «لَا تَخْتِمْ عَلَى أَقْوَالِ نُبُوَّةِ هَذَا ٱلْكِتَابِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْوَقْتَ قَرِيبٌ.
10 Y me dijo: No selles las palabras de la profecía de este libro; porque el tiempo está cerca.
10 He said to me, “Don’t seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand.
11 مَنْ يَظْلِمْ فَلْيَظْلِمْ بَعْدُ. وَمَنْ هُوَ نَجِسٌ فَلْيَتَنَجَّسْ بَعْدُ. وَمَنْ هُوَ بَارٌّ فَلْيَتَبَرَّرْ بَعْدُ. وَمَنْ هُوَ مُقَدَّسٌ فَلْيَتَقَدَّسْ بَعْدُ».
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.
11 He who acts unjustly, let him act unjustly still. He who is filthy, let him be filthy still. He who is righteous, let him do righteousness still. He who is holy, let him be holy still.”
12 «وَهَا أَنَا آتِي سَرِيعًا وَأُجْرَتِي مَعِي لِأُجَازِيَ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ كَمَا يَكُونُ عَمَلُهُ.
12 Y he aquí, yo vengo presto, y mi galardón conmigo, para recompensar á cada uno según fuere su obra.
12 “Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, to repay to each man according to his work.
13 أَنَا ٱلْأَلِفُ وَٱلْيَاءُ، ٱلْبِدَايَةُ وَٱلنِّهَايَةُ، ٱلْأَوَّلُ وَٱلْآخِرُ».
13 Yo soy Alpha y Omega, principio y fin, el primero y el postrero.
13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
14 طُوبَى لِلَّذِينَ يَصْنَعُونَ وَصَايَاهُ لِكَيْ يَكُونَ سُلْطَانُهُمْ عَلَى شَجَرَةِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ، وَيَدْخُلُوا مِنَ ٱلْأَبْوَابِ إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ،
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.
14 Blessed are those who do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city.
15 لِأَنَّ خَارِجًا ٱلْكِلَابَ وَٱلسَّحَرَةَ وَٱلزُّنَاةَ وَٱلْقَتَلَةَ وَعَبَدَةَ ٱلْأَوْثَانِ، وَكُلَّ مَنْ يُحِبُّ وَيَصْنَعُ كَذِبًا.
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.
15 Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
16 «أَنَا يَسُوعُ، أَرْسَلْتُ مَلَاكِي لِأَشْهَدَ لَكُمْ بِهَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ عَنِ ٱلْكَنَائِسِ. أَنَا أَصْلُ وَذُرِّيَّةُ دَاوُدَ. كَوْكَبُ ٱلصُّبْحِ ٱلْمُنِيرُ».
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.
16 I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify these things to you for the assemblies. I am the root and the offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”
17 وَٱلرُّوحُ وَٱلْعَرُوسُ يَقُولَانِ: «تَعَالَ!». وَمَنْ يَسْمَعْ فَلْيَقُلْ: «تَعَالَ!». وَمَنْ يَعْطَشْ فَلْيَأْتِ. وَمَنْ يُرِدْ فَلْيَأْخُذْ مَاءَ حَيَاةٍ مَجَّانًا.
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.
17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” He who hears, let him say, “Come!” He who is thirsty, let him come. He who desires, let him take the water of life freely.
18 لِأَنِّي أَشْهَدُ لِكُلِّ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ أَقْوَالَ نُبُوَّةِ هَذَا ٱلْكِتَابِ: إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَزِيدُ عَلَى هَذَا، يَزِيدُ ٱللهُ عَلَيْهِ ٱلضَّرَبَاتِ ٱلْمَكْتُوبَةَ فِي هَذَا ٱلْكِتَابِ.
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.
18 I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book.
19 وَإِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَحْذِفُ مِنْ أَقْوَالِ كِتَابِ هَذِهِ ٱلنُّبُوَّةِ، يَحْذِفُ ٱللهُ نَصِيبَهُ مِنْ سِفْرِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ، وَمِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسَةِ، وَمِنَ ٱلْمَكْتُوبِ فِي هَذَا ٱلْكِتَابِ.
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.
19 If anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book.
20 يَقُولُ ٱلشَّاهِدُ بِهَذَا: «نَعَمْ! أَنَا آتِي سَرِيعًا». آمِينَ. تَعَالَ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ يَسُوعُ.
20 El que da testimonio de estas cosas, dice: Ciertamente, vengo en breve. Amén, sea así. Ven, Señor Jesús.
20 He who testifies these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen! Yes, come, Lord Jesus!
21 نِعْمَةُ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ مَعَ جَمِيعِكُمْ. آمِينَ.
21 La gracia de nuestro Señor Jesucristo sea con todos vosotros. Amén.
21 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with all the saints. Amen.

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 …
