1 A fter this, I looked and saw a door standing open in heaven. The first voice I heard was like the loud sound of a horn. It said, “Come up here. I will show you what must happen after these things.”

¶ Después de estas cosas miré, y he aquí una puerta abierta en el cielo; y la primera voz que oí, era como de trompeta que hablaba conmigo, diciendo: Sube acá, y yo te mostraré las cosas que es necesario que sean hechas después de éstas.

2 A t once I was under the Spirit’s power. See! The throne was in heaven, and One was sitting on it.

Y luego yo fui en espíritu; y he aquí, un trono que estaba puesto en el cielo, y sobre el trono estaba uno sentado.

3 T he One Who sat there looked as bright as jasper and sardius stones. The colors like those of an emerald stone were all around the throne.

Y el que estaba sentado, era al parecer semejante a una piedra de Jaspe y de Sardónice; y un arco del cielo estaba alrededor del trono, semejante en el aspecto a la esmeralda.

4 T here were twenty-four smaller thrones around the throne. And on these thrones twenty-four leaders were sitting dressed in white clothes. They had crowns of gold on their heads.

Y alrededor del trono había veinticuatro tronos; y vi sobre los tronos veinticuatro ancianos sentados, vestidos de ropas blancas; y tenían sobre sus cabezas coronas de oro.

5 L ightning and noise and thunder came from the throne. Seven lights of fire were burning before the throne. These were the seven Spirits of God.

Y del trono salían relámpagos y truenos y voces; y siete lámparas de fuego estaban ardiendo delante del trono, las cuales son los siete Espíritus de Dios.

6 B efore the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, shining and clear. Around the throne and on each side there were four living beings that were full of eyes in front and in back.

Y delante del trono había como un mar de color de vidrio semejante al cristal; y en medio del trono, y alrededor del trono, cuatro animales llenos de ojos delante y detrás.

7 T he first living being was like a lion. The second one was like a young cow. The third one had a face like a man. The fourth one was like a very large bird with its wings spread.

Y el primer animal era semejante a un león; y el segundo animal, semejante a un becerro, y el tercer animal tenía el rostro como de hombre; y el cuarto animal, semejante a un águila volando.

8 E ach one of the four living beings had six wings. They had eyes all over them, inside and out. Day and night they never stop saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the All-powerful One. He is the One Who was and Who is and Who is to come.”

¶ Y los cuatro animales tenían cada uno por sí seis alas alrededor; y de dentro estaban llenos de ojos; y no cesaban día ni noche, diciendo: Santo, Santo, Santo el Señor Dios Todopoderoso, el que era, y que es, y que ha de venir.

9 T he four living beings speak of His shining-greatness and give honor and thanks to Him Who sits on His throne as King. It is He Who lives forever.

Y cuando aquellos animales dan gloria y honra y alabanza al que está sentado en el trono, al que vive para siempre jamás;

10 T he twenty-four leaders get down before Him and worship Him Who lives forever. They lay their crowns before Him and say,

los veinticuatro ancianos se postran delante del que está sentado en el trono, y adoraban al que vive para siempre jamás; y echan sus coronas delante del trono, diciendo:

11 “ Our Lord and our God, it is right for You to have the shining-greatness and the honor and the power. You made all things. They were made and have life because You wanted it that way.”

Señor, digno eres de recibir gloria y honra y virtud, porque tú creaste todas las cosas, y por tu voluntad tienen ser y fueron creadas.
