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 esto miré, y vi una puerta abierta en el cielo. Y la primera voz que yo había oído, como sonido de trompeta que hablaba conmigo, decía: “Sube acá y te mostraré las cosas que deben suceder 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.

Al instante estaba yo en el Espíritu, y vi un trono colocado en el cielo, y a Uno sentado en el trono.

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.

El que estaba sentado era de aspecto semejante a una piedra de jaspe y sardio, y alrededor del trono había un arco iris, de aspecto semejante 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 sentados en los tronos, veinticuatro ancianos vestidos de ropas blancas, con coronas de oro en la cabeza.

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.

Del trono salían relámpagos, voces, y truenos. Delante del trono había siete lámparas de fuego ardiendo, que 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.

Delante del trono había como un mar transparente semejante al cristal; y en medio del trono y alrededor del trono, cuatro seres vivientes llenos de ojos por delante y por 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.

El primer ser viviente era semejante a un león; el segundo ser era semejante a un becerro; el tercer ser tenía el rostro como el de un hombre, y el cuarto ser era 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.”

Los cuatro seres vivientes, cada uno de ellos con seis alas, estaban llenos de ojos alrededor y por dentro, y día y noche no cesaban de decir: “ Santo, Santo, Santo, es el Señor Dios, el Todopoderoso, el que era, el que es y el 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 cada vez que los seres vivientes dan gloria, honor, y acción de gracias a Aquél que está sentado en el trono, al que vive por los siglos de los siglos,

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 de Aquél que está sentado en el trono, y adoran a Aquél que vive por los siglos de los siglos, 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.”

“Digno eres, Señor y Dios nuestro, de recibir la gloria y el honor y el poder, porque Tú creaste todas las cosas, y por Tu voluntad existen y fueron creadas.”
