1 T hen he showed me the river whose waters give life, sparkling like crystal, flowing out from the throne of God and of the Lamb

¶ Después me mostró un río limpio de agua de vida, resplandeciente como cristal, que salía del trono de Dios y del Cordero.

2 T hrough the middle of the broadway of the city; also, on either side of the river was the tree of life with its twelve varieties of fruit, yielding each month its fresh crop; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing and the restoration of the nations.

En el medio de la plaza de ella, y de un lado y del otro del río, el árbol de la vida, que lleva doce frutos, dando cada mes su fruto; y las hojas del árbol son para la sanidad de los gentiles.

3 T here shall no longer exist there anything that is accursed (detestable, foul, offensive, impure, hateful, or horrible). But the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall worship Him.

Y toda cosa maldita no será más; sino el trono de Dios y del Cordero estará en ella, y sus siervos le servirán.

4 T hey shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads.

Y verán su rostro; y su Nombre estará en sus frentes.

5 A nd there shall be no more night; they have no need for lamplight or sunlight, for the Lord God will illuminate them and be their light, and they shall reign forever and ever (through the eternities of the eternities).

Y allí no habrá más noche; y no tienen necesidad de lumbre de lámpara, ni de lumbre de sol: porque el Señor Dios los alumbrará; y reinarán para siempre jamás.

6 A nd he said to me, These statements are reliable (worthy of confidence) and genuine (true). And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent His messenger (angel) to make known and exhibit to His servants what must soon come to pass.

¶ Y me dijo: Estas palabras son fieles y verdaderas. Y el Señor Dios de los santos profetas ha enviado su ángel, para mostrar a sus siervos las cosas que es necesario que sean hechas presto.

7 A nd behold, I am coming speedily. Blessed (happy and to be envied) is he who observes and lays to heart and keeps the truths of the prophecy (the predictions, consolations, and warnings) contained in this book.

Y he aquí, vengo presto: Bienaventurado el que guarda las palabras de la profecía de este libro.

8 A nd I, John, am he who heard and witnessed these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell prostrate before the feet of the messenger (angel) who showed them to me, to worship him.

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.

9 B ut he said to me, Refrain! I am a fellow servant along with yourself and with your brethren the prophets and with those who are mindful of and practice the messages of this book. Worship God!

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 la profecía de este libro. Adora a Dios.

10 A nd he told me, Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book and make no secret of them, for the time when things are brought to a crisis and the period of their fulfillment is near.

Y me dijo: No selles las palabras de la profecía de este libro; porque el tiempo está cerca.

11 H e who is unrighteous (unjust, wicked), let him be unrighteous still; and he who is filthy (vile, impure), let him be filthy still; and he who is righteous (just, upright, in right standing with God), let him do right still; and he who is holy, let him be holy still.

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.

12 B ehold, I am coming soon, and I shall bring My wages and rewards with Me, to repay and render to each one just what his own actions and his own work merit.

Y he aquí, yo vengo presto, y mi galardón está conmigo, para recompensar a cada uno según fuere su obra.

13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last (the Before all and the End of all).

YO SOY el Alfa y la Omega, principio y fin, el primero y el postrero.

14 B lessed (happy and to be envied) are those who cleanse their garments, that they may have the authority and right to the tree of life and to enter through the gates into the city.

Bienaventurados los que hacen sus mandamientos, para que su potencia y potestad sea en el árbol de la vida, y que entren por las puertas en la Ciudad.

15 w ithout are the dogs and those who practice sorceries (magic arts) and impurity and the murderers and idolaters and everyone who loves and deals in falsehood (untruth, error, deception, cheating).

Mas los perros estarán fuera, y los hechiceros, y los disolutos, y los homicidas, y los idólatras, y cualquiera que ama y hace mentira.

16 I , Jesus, have sent My messenger (angel) to you to witness and to give you assurance of these things for the churches (assemblies). I am the Root (the Source) and the Offspring of David, the radiant and brilliant Morning Star.

Yo Jesús he enviado mi ángel para daros testimonio de estas cosas en las Iglesias. YO SOY la raíz y el linaje de David, y la estrella resplandeciente y de la mañana.

17 T he Spirit and the bride (the church, the true Christians) say, Come! And let him who is listening say, Come! And let everyone come who is thirsty '> of those things by which the soul is refreshed, supported, and strengthened]; and whoever desires to do it, let him come, take, appropriate, and drink the water of Life without cost.

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 gratuitamente.

18 I warn everyone who listens to the statements of the prophecy '> predictions and the consolations and admonitions pertaining to them] in this book: If anyone shall add anything to them, God will add and lay upon him the plagues (the afflictions and the calamities) that are recorded and described in this book.

Porque yo testifico a cualquiera que oye las palabras de la profecía de este libro: Si alguno añadiere a estas cosas, Dios pondrá sobre él las plagas que están escritas en este libro.

19 A nd if anyone cancels or takes away from the statements of the book of this prophecy '> predictions relating to Christ’s kingdom and its speedy triumph, together with the consolations and admonitions or warnings pertaining to them], God will cancel and take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the city of holiness (purity and hallowedness), which are described and promised in this book.

Y si alguno disminuyere 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.

20 H e Who gives this warning and affirms and testifies to these things says, Yes (it is true). I am coming quickly (swiftly, speedily). Amen (so let it be)! Yes, come, Lord Jesus!

¶ El que da testimonio de estas cosas, dice: Ciertamente, vengo en breve. Amén, sea así. ¡Ven, Señor Jesús!

21 T he grace (blessing and favor) of the Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) be with all the saints (God’s holy people, those set apart for God, to be, as it were, exclusively His). Amen (so let it be)!

La gracia de nuestro Señor Jesucristo sea con todos vosotros. Amén.
