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 el ángel me mostró un río 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 medio de la calle de la ciudad. Y a cada lado del río estaba el árbol de la vida, que produce doce clases de fruto, dando su fruto cada mes; y las hojas del árbol eran para sanidad de las naciones.

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.

Ya no habrá más maldición. El trono de Dios y del Cordero estará allí, y Sus siervos Le servirán.

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

Ellos 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).
