VUL Clementine Vulgate
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 Et vidi in dextera sedentis supra thronum, librum scriptum intus et foris, signatum sigillis septem.
1 Y VI en la mano derecha del que estaba sentado sobre el trono un libro escrito de dentro y de fuera, sellado con siete sellos.
2 Et vidi angelum fortem, prædicantem voce magna: Quis est dignus aperire librum, et solvere signacula ejus?
2 Y vi un fuerte ángel predicando en alta voz: ¿Quién es digno de abrir el libro, y de desatar sus sellos?
3 Et nemo poterat neque in cælo, neque in terra, neque subtus terram aperire librum, neque respicere illum.
3 Y ninguno podía, ni en el cielo, ni en la tierra, ni debajo de la tierra, abrir el libro, ni mirarlo.
4 Et ego flebam multum, quoniam nemo dignus inventus est aperire librum, nec videre eum.
4 Y yo lloraba mucho, porque no había sido hallado ninguno digno de abrir el libro, ni de leerlo, ni de mirarlo.
5 Et unus de senioribus dixit mihi: Ne fleveris: ecce vicit leo de tribu Juda, radix David, aperire librum, et solvere septem signacula ejus.
5 Y uno de los ancianos me dice: No llores: he aquí el león de la tribu de Judá, la raíz de David, que ha vencido para abrir el libro, y desatar sus siete sellos.
6 Et vidi: et ecce in medio throni et quatuor animalium, et in medio seniorum, Agnum stantem tamquam occisum, habentem cornua septem, et oculos septem: qui sunt septem spiritus Dei, missi in omnem terram.
6 Y miré; y he aquí en medio del trono y de los cuatro animales, y en medio de los ancianos, estaba un Cordero como inmolado, que tenía siete cuernos, y siete ojos, que son los siete Espíritus de Dios enviados en toda la tierra.
7 Et venit: et accepit de dextera sedentis in throno librum.
7 Y él vino, y tomó el libro de la mano derecha de aquel que estaba sentado en el trono.
8 Et cum aperuisset librum, quatuor animalia, et viginti quatuor seniores ceciderunt coram Agno, habentes singuli citharas, et phialas aureas plenas odoramentorum, quæ sunt orationes sanctorum:
8 Y cuando hubo tomado el libro, los cuatro animales y los veinticuatro ancianos se postraron delante del Cordero, teniendo cada uno arpas, y copas de oro llenas de perfumes, que son las oraciones de los santos:
9 et cantabant canticum novum, dicentes: Dignus es, Domine, accipere librum, et aperire signacula ejus: quoniam occisus es, et redemisti nos Deo in sanguine tuo ex omni tribu, et lingua, et populo, et natione:
9 Y cantaban un nuevo cántico, diciendo: Digno eres de tomar el libro, y de abrir sus sellos; porque tú fuiste inmolado, y nos has redimido para Dios con tu sangre, de todo linaje y lengua y pueblo y nación;
10 et fecisti nos Deo nostro regnum, et sacerdotes: et regnabimus super terram.
10 Y nos has hecho para nuestro Dios reyes y sacerdotes, y reinaremos sobre la tierra.
11 Et vidi, et audivi vocem angelorum multorum in circuitu throni, et animalium, et seniorum: et erat numerus eorum millia millium,
11 Y miré, y oí voz de muchos ángeles alrededor del trono, y de los animales, y de los ancianos; y la multitud de ellos era millones de millones,
12 dicentium voce magna: Dignus est Agnus, qui occisus est, accipere virtutem, et divinitatem, et sapientiam, et fortitudinem, et honorem, et gloriam, et benedictionem.
12 Que decían en alta voz: El Cordero que fué inmolado es digno de tomar el poder y riquezas y sabiduría, y fortaleza y honra y gloria y alabanza.
13 Et omnem creaturam, quæ in cælo est, et super terram, et sub terra, et quæ sunt in mari, et quæ in eo: omnes audivi dicentes: Sedenti in throno, et Agno, benedictio et honor, et gloria, et potestas in sæcula sæculorum.
13 Y oí á toda criatura que está en el cielo, y sobre la tierra, y debajo de la tierra, y que está en el mar, y todas las cosas que en ellos están, diciendo: Al que está sentado en el trono, y al Cordero, [sea] la bendición, y la honra, y la gloria, y el poder, para siempre jamás.
14 Et quatuor animalia dicebant: Amen. Et viginti quatuor seniores ceciderunt in facies suas: et adoraverunt viventem in sæcula sæculorum.
14 Y los cuatro animales decían: Amén. Y los veinticuatro ancianos cayeron sobre sus rostros, y adoraron al que vive para siempre jamás.

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 again, he says, speaking of this very same Lamb: "And behold a white horse; …

  2. Quotes verse 5:5 Augustine of Hippo, On Christian Doctrine (Book III, Chapters 22–27)

    Another example of the same is that a lion stands for Christ in the place where it is said, "The lion of the tribe of Judah hath prevailed;" and again, stands for the devil where it is written, "Your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about seeking whom he may devour." In the same way the serpent is …

    For although they are done on earth, yet nevertheless they are worthy of the Heavens.

    yet both Christ and the devil are called "a lion."

Both the one and the other then is a lion; …
