Revelation 1

DOUAI-RHEIMS	BIBLIA
1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to make known to his servants the things which must shortly come to pass: and signified, sending by his angel to his servant John,	1 Revelación de Jesucristo; se la concedió Dios para manifestar a sus siervos lo que ha de suceder pronto; y envió a su Angel para dársela a conocer a su siervo Juan,
2 Who hath given testimony to the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, what things soever he hath seen.	2 el cual ha atestiguado la Palabra de Dios y el testimonio de Jesucristo: todo lo que vio.
3 Blessed is he, that readeth and heareth the words of this prophecy; and keepeth those things which are written in it; for the time is at hand.	3 Dichoso el que lea y los que escuchen las palabras de esta profecía y guarden lo escrito en ella, porque el Tiempo está cerca.
4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia. Grace be unto you and peace from him that is, and that was, and that is to come, and from the seven spirits which are before his throne,	4 Juan, a las siete Iglesias de Asia. Gracia y paz a vosotros de parte de «Aquel que es, que era y que va a venir», de parte de los siete Espíritus que están ante su trono,
5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth, who hath loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,	5 y de parte de Jesucristo, el Testigo fiel, el Primogénito de entre los muertos, el Príncipe de los reyes de la tierra. Al que nos ama y nos ha lavado con su sangre de nuestros pecados
6 And hath made us a kingdom, and priests to God and his Father, to him be glory and empire for ever and ever. Amen.	6 y ha hecho de nosotros un Reino de Sacerdotes para su Dios y Padre, a él la gloria y el poder por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.
7 Behold, he cometh with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they also that pierced him. And all the tribes of the earth shall bewail themselves because of him. Even so. Amen.	7 Mirad, viene acompañado de nubes: todo ojo le verá, hasta los que le traspasaron, y por él harán duelo todas las razas de la tierra. Sí. Amén.
8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, saith the Lord God, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.	8 Yo soy el Alfa y la Omega, dice el Señor Dios, «Aquel que es, que era y que va a venir», el Todopoderoso.
9 I John, your brother and your partner in tribulation, and in the kingdom, and patience in Christ Jesus, was in the island, which is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus.	9 Yo, Juan, vuestro hermano y compañero de la tribulación, del reino y de la paciencia, en Jesús. Yo me encontraba en la isla llamada Patmos, por causa de la Palabra de Dios y del testimonio de Jesús.
10 I was in the spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,	10 Caí en éxtasis el día del Señor, y oí detrás de mí una gran voz, como de trompeta, que decía:
11 Saying: What thou seest, write in a book, and send to the seven churches which are in Asia, to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamus, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.	11 «Lo que veas escríbelo en un libro y envíalo a las siete Iglesias: a Efeso, Esmirna, Pérgamo, Tiatira, Sardes, Filadelfia y Laodicea».
12 And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks:	12 Me volví a ver qué voz era la que me hablaba y al volverme, vi siete candeleros de oro,
13 And in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks, one like to the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the feet, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.	13 y en medio de los candeleros como a un Hijo de hombre, vestido de una túnica talar, cen6ido al talle con un ceñidor de oro.
14 And his head and his hairs were white, as white wool, and as snow, and his eyes were as a flame of fire,	14 Su cabeza y sus cabellos eran blancos, como la lana blanca, como la nieve; sus ojos como llama de fuego;
15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as in a burning furnace. And his voice as the sound of many waters.	15 sus pies parecían de metal precioso acrisolado en el horno; su voz como voz de grandes aguas.
16 And he had in his right hand seven stars. And from his mouth came out a sharp two edged sword: and his face was as the sun shineth in his power.	16 Tenía en su mano derecha siete estrellas, y de su boca salía una espada aguda de dos filos; y su rostro, como el sol cuando brilla con toda su fuerza.
17 And when I had seen him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying: Fear not. I am the First and the Last,	17 Cuando lo vi, caí a sus pies como muerto. El puso su mano derecha sobre mí diciendo: «No temas, soy yo, el Primero y el Ultimo,
18 And alive, and was dead, and behold I am living for ever and ever, and have the keys of death and of hell.	18 el que vive; estuve muerto, pero ahora estoy vivo por los siglos de los siglos, y tengo las llaves de la Muerte y del Hades.
19 Write therefore the things which thou hast seen, and which are, and which must be done hereafter.	19 Escribe, pues, lo que has visto: lo que ya es y lo que va a suceder más tarde.
20 The mystery of the seven stars, which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches. And the seven candlesticks are the seven churches.	20 La explicación del misterio de las siete estrellas que has visto en mi mano derecha y de los siete candeleros de oro es ésta: las siete estrellas son los Angeles de las siete Iglesias, y los siete candeleros son las siete Iglesias.
