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 sobre el trono un libro escrito de dentro y de 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 un fuerte ángel predicando en alta 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 ninguno podía, ni en el cielo, ni en la tierra, ni debajo de la tierra, abrir el libro, ni mirarlo.

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 no había sido hallado ninguno digno de abrir el libro, ni de leerlo, ni de mirarlo.

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.”

Y uno de los ancianos me dice: No llores: he aquí el león de la tribu de Judá, la raíz de David, que ha vencido para abrir el libro, y desatar 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.

Y miré; y he aquí en medio del trono y de los cuatro animales, y en medio de los ancianos, estaba un Cordero como inmolado, que tenía siete cuernos, y siete ojos, que son los siete Espíritus de Dios enviados en 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 él vino, y tomó el libro de la mano derecha de aquel 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.

Y cuando hubo tomado el libro, los cuatro animales y los veinticuatro ancianos se postraron delante del Cordero, teniendo cada uno arpas, y copas de oro llenas de perfumes, 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 nuevo cántico, diciendo: Digno eres de tomar el libro, y de abrir sus sellos; porque tú fuiste inmolado, y nos has redimido para Dios con tu sangre, de todo linaje y lengua y 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 nos has hecho para nuestro Dios reyes y sacerdotes, y reinaremos 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 voz de muchos ángeles alrededor del trono, y de los animales, y de los ancianos; y la multitud de ellos era millones de millones,

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 en alta voz: El Cordero que fué inmolado es digno de tomar el poder y riquezas y sabiduría, y fortaleza y honra y gloria y 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 oí á toda criatura que está en el cielo, y sobre la tierra, y debajo de la tierra, y que está en el mar, y todas las cosas que en ellos están, diciendo: Al que está sentado en el trono, y al Cordero, sea la bendición, y la honra, y la gloria, y el poder, para siempre jamás.

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

Y los cuatro animales decían: Amén. Y los veinticuatro ancianos cayeron sobre sus rostros, y adoraron al que vive para siempre jamás.
