CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAINBIBLIA
1 And I heard a great voice from the temple, saying to the seven Angels: “Go forth and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God upon the earth.”1 Y oí una fuerte voz que desde el Santuario decía a los siete Angeles: «Id y derramad sobre la tierra las siete copas del furor de Dios».
2 And the first Angel went forth and poured out his bowl upon the earth. And a severe and most grievous wound occurred upon the men who had the character of the beast, and upon those who adored the beast or its image.2 El primero fue y derramó su copa sobre la tierra; y sobrevino una úlcera maligna y perniciosa a los hombres que llevaban la marca de la Bestia y adoraban su imagen.
3 And the second Angel poured out his bowl upon the sea. And it became like the blood of the dead, and every living creature in the sea died.3 El segundo derramó su copa sobre el mar; y se convirtió en sangre como de muerto, y toda alma viviente murió en el mar.
4 And the third Angel poured out his bowl upon the rivers and the sources of water, and these became blood.4 El tercero derramó su copa sobre los ríos y sobre los manantiales de agua; y se convirtieron en sangre.
5 And I heard the Angel of the waters saying: “You are just, O Lord, who is and who was: the Holy One who has judged these things.5 Y oí al Angel de las aguas que decía: «Justo eres tú, “Aquel que es y que era”, el Santo, pues has hecho así justicia:
6 For they have shed the blood of the Saints and the Prophets, and so you have given them blood to drink. For they deserve this.”6 porque ellos derramaron la sangre de los santos y de los profetas y tú les has dado a beber sangre; lo tienen merecido».
7 And from the altar, I heard another one, saying, “Even now, O Lord God Almighty, your judgments are true and just.”7 Y oí al altar que decía: «Sí, Señor, Dios Todopoderoso, tus juicios son verdaderos y justos».
8 And the fourth Angel poured out his bowl upon the sun. And it was given to him to afflict men with heat and fire.8 El cuarto derramó su copa sobre el sol; y le fue encomendado abrasar a los hombres con fuego,
9 And men were scorched by the great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God, who holds power over these afflictions, but they did not repent, so as to give him glory.9 y los hombres fueron abrasados con un calor abrasador. No obstante, blasfemaron del nombre de Dios que tiene poder sobre tales plagas, y no se arrepintieron dándole gloria.
10 And the fifth Angel poured out his bowl upon the throne of the beast. And his kingdom became darkened, and they gnawed at their tongues out of anguish.10 El quinto derramó su copa sobre el trono de la Bestia; y quedó su reino en tinieblas y los hombres se mordían la lengua de dolor.
11 And they blasphemed the God of heaven, because of their anguish and wounds, but they did not repent from their works.11 No obstante, blasfemaron del Dios del cielo por sus dolores y por sus llagas, y no se arrepintieron de sus obras.
12 And the sixth Angel poured out his bowl upon that great river Euphrates. And its water dried up, so that a way might be prepared for the kings from the rising of the sun.12 El sexto derramó su copa sobre el gran río Eufrates; y sus aguas se secaron para preparar el camino a los reyes del Oriente.
13 And I saw, from the mouth of the dragon, and from the mouth of the beast, and from the mouth of the false prophetess, three unclean spirits go out in the manner of frogs.13 Y vi que de la boca del Dragón, de la boca de la Bestia y de la boca del falso profeta, salían tres espíritus inmundos como ranas.
14 For these are the spirits of the demons that were causing the signs. And they advance to the kings of the entire earth, to gather them for battle on the great day of Almighty God.14 Son espíritus de demonios, que realizan señales y van donde los reyes de todo el mundo para convocarlos a la gran batalla del Gran Día del Dios Todopoderoso.
15 “Behold, I arrive like a thief. Blessed is he who is vigilant and who preserves his vestment, lest he walk naked and they see his disgrace.”15 (Mira que vengo como ladrón. Dichoso el que esté en vela y conserve sus vestidos, para no andar desnudo y que se vean sus vergüenzas).
16 And he shall gather them together at a place which is called, in Hebrew, Armageddon.16 Los convocaron en el lugar llamado en hebreo Harmaguedón.
17 And the seventh Angel poured out his bowl upon the air. And a great voice went out of the temple from the throne, saying: “It is done.”17 El séptimo derramó su copa sobre el aire; entonces salió del Santuario una fuerte voz que decía: «Hecho está».
18 And there were lightnings and voices and thunders. And a great earthquake occurred, of a kind such as has never happened since men have been upon the earth, so great was this kind of earthquake.18 Se produjeron relámpagos, fragor, truenos y un violento terremoto, como no lo hubo desde que existen hombres sobre la tierra, un terremoto tan violento.
19 And the Great City became divided into three parts. And the cities of the Gentiles fell. And Babylon the great came to mind before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the indignation of his wrath.19 La Gran Ciudad se abrió en tres partes, y las ciudades de las naciones se desplomaron; y Dios se acordó de la Gran Babilonia para darle la copa del vino del furor de su cólera.
20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.20 Entonces todas las islas huyeron, y las montañas desaparecieron.
21 And hail as heavy as a talent descended from the sky upon men. And men blasphemed God, because of the affliction of the hail, for it was exceedingly great.21 Y un gran pedrisco, con piedras de casi un talento de peso, cayó del cielo sobre los hombres. No obstante, los hombres blasfemaron de Dios por la plaga del pedrisco; porque fue ciertamente una plaga muy grande.
