1 T he things that are written in the Book are made known by Jesus Christ. God gave these things to Christ so He could show them to the servants He owns. These are things which must happen very soon. Christ sent His angel to John who is a servant owned by Him. Christ made these things known to John.

La Revelación (El Apocalipsis) de Jesucristo, que Dios Le dio, para mostrar a Sus siervos las cosas que deben suceder pronto. El la dio a conocer ( la manifestó) enviándo la por medio de Su ángel a Su siervo Juan,

2 J ohn tells that the Word of God is true. He tells of Jesus Christ and all that he saw and heard of Him.

quien dio testimonio de la palabra de Dios y del testimonio de Jesucristo, y de todo lo que vio.

3 T he man who reads this Book and listens to it being read and obeys what it says will be happy. For all these things will happen soon. John Writes to the Seven Churches in Asia

Bienaventurado (Feliz) el que lee y los que oyen las palabras de la profecía y guardan las cosas que están escritas en ella, porque el tiempo está cerca. Saludo a las Siete Iglesias

4 T his is John writing to the seven churches in the country of Asia. May you have loving-favor and peace from God Who was and Who is and Who is to come. May you have loving-favor and peace from the seven Spirits who are before His throne.

Juan, a las siete iglesias que están en Asia (provincia occidental Romana de Asia Menor): Gracia y paz a ustedes, de parte de Aquél que es y que era y que ha de venir, y de parte de los siete Espíritus que están delante de Su trono,

5 M ay you have loving-favor and peace from Jesus Christ Who is faithful in telling the truth. Jesus Christ is the first to be raised from the dead. He is the head over all the kings of the earth. He is the One Who loves us and has set us free from our sins by His blood.

y de parte de Jesucristo, el testigo fiel, el primogénito de los muertos y el soberano de los reyes de la tierra. Al que nos ama y nos libertó de nuestros pecados con Su sangre,

6 C hrist has made us a holy nation of religious leaders who can go to His God and Father. He is the One to receive honor and power forever! Let it be so.

e hizo de nosotros un reino, sacerdotes para Dios, Su Padre, a El sea la gloria y el dominio por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.

7 S ee! He is coming in the clouds. Every eye will see Him. Even the men who killed Him will see Him. All the people on the earth will cry out in sorrow because of Him. Yes, let it be so.

El viene con las nubes, y todo ojo Lo verá, aun los que Lo traspasaron; y todas las tribus (linajes y razas) de la tierra harán lamentación por El. Sí. Amén.

8 T he Lord God says, “I am the First and the Last, the beginning and the end of all things. I am the All-powerful One Who was and Who is and Who is to come.” What God Wanted to Show John of Christ

“Yo soy el Alfa y la Omega,” dice el Señor Dios, “el que es y que era y que ha de venir, el Todopoderoso.” Visión de Cristo

9 I , John, am your Christian brother. I have shared with you in suffering because of Jesus Christ. I have also shared with you His holy nation and we have not given up. I was put on the island called Patmos because I preached the Word of God and told about Jesus Christ.

Yo, Juan, hermano de ustedes y compañero en la tribulación, en el reino y en la perseverancia en Jesús, me encontraba en la isla llamada Patmos, por causa de la palabra de Dios y del testimonio de Jesús.

10 I was under the Spirit’s power on the Lord’s Day when I heard a loud voice behind me like the loud sound of a horn.

Estaba yo en el Espíritu en el día del Señor, y oí detrás de mí una gran voz, como sonido de trompeta,

11 I t said, “(I am the First and the Last.) Write in a book what you see and send it to the seven churches. They are in the cities of Ephesus and Smyrna and Pergamum and Thyatira and Sardis and Philadelphia and Laodicea.”

que decía: “Escribe en un libro lo que ves, y envía lo a las siete iglesias: a Efeso, Esmirna, Pérgamo, Tiatira, Sardis, Filadelfia y Laodicea.”

12 I turned around to see who was speaking to me. As I turned, I saw seven lights made of gold.

Entonces me volví para ver de quién era la voz que hablaba conmigo, y al volverme, vi siete candelabros de oro.

13 A mong the lights stood One Who looked like the Son of Man. He had on a long coat that came to His feet. A belt of gold was around His chest.

En medio de los candelabros, vi a uno semejante al Hijo del Hombre, vestido con una túnica que Le llegaba hasta los pies y ceñido por el pecho con un cinto de oro.

14 H is head and His hair were white like white wool. They were as white as snow. His eyes were like fire.

Su cabeza y Sus cabellos eran blancos como la blanca lana, como la nieve. Sus ojos eran como una llama de fuego.

15 H is feet were like shining brass as bright as if it were in a fire. His voice sounded like powerful rushing water.

Sus pies se parecían al bronce bruñido cuando se le ha hecho refulgir en el horno, y Su voz como el ruido de muchas aguas.

16 H e held seven stars in His right hand. A sharp sword that cuts both ways came out of His mouth. His face was shining as bright as the sun shines at noon.

En Su mano derecha tenía siete estrellas, y de Su boca salía una espada aguda de dos filos. Su rostro era como el sol cuando brilla con toda su fuerza.

17 W hen I saw Him, I fell down at His feet like a dead man. He laid His right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last.

Cuando Lo vi, caí como muerto a Sus pies. Y El puso Su mano derecha sobre mí, diciendo: “No temas, Yo soy el Primero y el Ultimo,

18 I am the Living One. I was dead, but look, I am alive forever. I have power over death and hell.

y el que vive, y estuve muerto. Pero ahora estoy vivo por los siglos de los siglos, y tengo las llaves de la muerte y del Hades (región de los muertos).

19 S o write the things you have seen and the things that are and the things that will happen later.

Escribe, pues, las cosas que has visto, y las que son, y las que han de suceder después de éstas.

20 T his is what the seven stars and the seven lights made of gold mean that you saw in My right hand. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches. The seven lights are the seven churches.

En cuanto al misterio de las siete estrellas que viste en Mi mano derecha y de los siete candelabros de oro: las siete estrellas son los ángeles (mensajeros) de las siete iglesias, y los siete candelabros son las siete iglesias.
