1 Después de esto vi una puerta que se había abierto en el cielo. Y la voz que yo había escuchado antes, la que sonaba como una trompeta, me dijo: “Sube aquí, y te mostraré lo que ocurrirá después”.
1 After these things I looked and saw a door opened in heaven; and the first voice that I heard, like a trumpet speaking with me, was one saying, “Come up here, and I will show you the things which must happen after this.”
2 E inmediatamente fui lleno del Espíritu y vi un trono en el cielo, y había alguien sentado sobre él.
2 Immediately I was in the Spirit. Behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting on the throne
3 El que estaba sentado allí brillaba como joyas, como jaspe y cornalina, y había un arcoíris que rodeaba el trono, brillante como una esmeralda.
3 that looked like a jasper stone and a sardius. There was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald to look at.
4 Alrededor del trono había otros veinticuatro tronos, y veinticuatro ancianos sentados sobre ellos, vestidos de blanco y usando coronas de oro en sus cabezas.
4 Around the throne were twenty-four thrones. On the thrones were twenty-four elders sitting, dressed in white garments, with crowns of gold on their heads.
5 Desde el trono salían relámpagos y se escuchaban truenos. Frente al trono iluminaban siete antorchas, que son los siete Espíritus de Dios.
5 Out of the throne proceed lightnings, sounds, and thunders. There were seven lamps of fire burning before his throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
6 Y frente al trono se extendía un mar de vidrio, transparente como el cristal. En el centro, y alrededor del trono había cuatro criaturas vivientes cubiertas de ojos, por delante y por detrás.
6 Before the throne was something like a sea of glass, similar to crystal. In the middle of the throne, and around the throne were four living creatures full of eyes before and behind.
7 La primera criatura parecía un león, la segunda parecía un novillo, la tercera tenía rostro humano, y la cuarta parecía como un águila que volaba.
7 The first creature was like a lion, the second creature like a calf, the third creature had a face like a man, and the fourth was like a flying eagle.
8 Cada una de las cuatro criaturas vivientes tenía seis alas, que también estaban cubiertas de ojos. Día y noche decían sin parar: “Santo, santo, santo es el Señor Todopoderoso, que era, es y vendrá”.
8 The four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within. They have no rest day and night, saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come!”
9 Y cada vez que las criaturas vivientes glorifican, honran y agradecen al que está sentado en el trono, y que vive por siempre y para siempre,
9 When the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to him who sits on the throne, to him who lives forever and ever,
10 los veinticuatro ancianos se inclinan ante el que está sentado en el trono. Ellos lo adorarán por siempre y para siempre, y tirarán sus coronas delante del trono. Y dicen:
10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever, and throw their crowns before the throne, saying,
11 “Nuestro Señor y Dios, tú eres digno de gloria, honra y autoridad, pues tú lo creaste todo. Por tu voluntad la creación llegó a existir”.
11 “Worthy are you, our Lord and God, the Holy One, to receive the glory, the honor, and the power, for you created all things, and because of your desire they existed and were created!”
