1 I saw a book in the right hand of the One Who sat on the a throne. It had writing on the inside and on the back side. It was locked with seven locks.

Y vi en la mano derecha del que estaba sentado en el trono un libro escrito por dentro y por fuera, sellado con siete sellos.

2 I saw a powerful angel calling with a loud voice, “Who is able to open the book and to break its locks?”

Y vi a un ángel poderoso que pregonaba a gran voz: ¿Quién es digno de abrir el libro y de desatar sus sellos?

3 N o one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the book or to look in it.

Y nadie, ni en el cielo ni en la tierra ni debajo de la tierra, podía abrir el libro ni mirar su contenido.

4 T hen I began to cry with loud cries. I cried because no one was good enough to open the book or to look in it.

Y yo lloraba mucho, porque nadie había sido hallado digno de abrir el libro ni de mirar su contenido.

5 O ne of the leaders said to me, “Stop crying. See! The Lion from the family group of Judah has power and has won. He can open the book and break its seven locks. He is of the family of David.”

Entonces uno de los ancianos me dijo: No llores; mira, el León de la tribu de Judá, la Raíz de David, ha vencido para abrir el libro y sus siete sellos.

6 I saw a Lamb standing in front of the twenty-four leaders. He was before the throne and in front of the four living beings. He looked as if He had been killed. He had seven horns and seven eyes. These are the seven Spirits of God. They have been sent out into all the world.

Miré, y vi entre el trono (con los cuatro seres vivientes) y los ancianos, a un Cordero, de pie, como inmolado, que tenía siete cuernos y siete ojos, que son los siete Espíritus de Dios enviados por toda la tierra.

7 T he Lamb came and took the book from the right hand of the One Who sat on the throne.

Y vino, y tomó el libro de la mano derecha del que estaba sentado en el trono.

8 W hen the Lamb had taken the book, the four living beings and the twenty-four leaders got down before Him. Each one had a harp. They all had pots made of gold, full of special perfume, which are the prayers of the people who belong to God.

Cuando tomó el libro, los cuatro seres vivientes y los veinticuatro ancianos se postraron delante del Cordero; cada uno tenía un arpa y copas de oro llenas de incienso, que son las oraciones de los santos.

9 T hey sang a new song, saying, “It is right for You to take the book and break its locks. It is because You were killed. Your blood has bought men for God from every family and from every language and from every kind of people and from every nation.

Y cantaban un cántico nuevo, diciendo: Digno eres de tomar el libro y de abrir sus sellos, porque tú fuiste inmolado, y con tu sangre compraste para Dios a gente de toda tribu, lengua, pueblo y nación.

10 Y ou have made them to be a holy nation of religious leaders to work for our God. They will be the leaders on the earth.”

Y los has hecho un reino y sacerdotes para nuestro Dios; y reinarán sobre la tierra.

11 I looked again. I heard the voices of many thousands of angels. They stood around the throne and around the four living beings and the leaders.

Y miré, y oí la voz de muchos ángeles alrededor del trono y de los seres vivientes y de los ancianos; y el número de ellos era miríadas de miríadas, y millares de millares,

12 T hey said with a loud voice, “The Lamb Who was killed has the right to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and shining-greatness and thanks.”

que decían a gran voz: El Cordero que fue inmolado digno es de recibir el poder, las riquezas, la sabiduría, la fortaleza, el honor, la gloria y la alabanza.

13 T hen I heard every living thing in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and in the sea and all that are in them. They were saying, “Thanks and honor and shining-greatness and all power are to the One Who sits on the throne and to the Lamb forever.”

Y a toda cosa creada que está en el cielo, sobre la tierra, debajo de la tierra y en el mar, y a todas las cosas que en ellos hay, oí decir: Al que está sentado en el trono, y al Cordero, sea la alabanza, la honra, la gloria y el dominio por los siglos de los siglos.

14 T he four living beings kept saying, “Let it be so!” And the twenty-four leaders fell down and worshiped.

Y los cuatro seres vivientes decían: Amén. Y los ancianos se postraron y adoraron.
