1 Luego me fue dada una caña de medir parecida a una vara, diciéndome: «Levántate y mide el Santuario de Dios y el altar, y a los que adoran en él.1 And a reed, similar to a staff, was given to me. And it was said to me: “Rise up and measure the temple of God, and those who are worshiping in it, and the altar.
2 El patio exterior del Santuario, déjalo aparte, no lo midas, porque ha sido entregado a los gentiles, que pisotearán la Ciudad Santa 42 meses.2 But the atrium, which is outside of the temple, set it aside and do not measure it, because it has been given over to the Gentiles. And they shall trample upon the Holy City for forty-two months.
3 Pero haré que mis dos testigos profeticen durante 1260 días, cubiertos de sayal».3 And I will present my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy for one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.
4 Ellos son los dos olivos y los dos candeleros que están en pie delante del Señor de la tierra.4 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands, standing in the sight of the lord of the earth.
5 Si alguien pretendiera hacerles mal, saldría fuego de su boca y devoraría a sus enemigos; si alguien pretendería hacerles mal, así tendría que morir.5 And if anyone will want to harm them, fire shall go forth from their mouths, and it shall devour their enemies. And if anyone will want to wound them, so must he be slain.
6 Estos tienen poder de cerrar el cielo para que no llueva los días en que profeticen; tienen también poder sobre las aguas para convertirlas en sangre, y poder de herir la tierra con toda clase de plagas, todas las veces que quieran.6 These have the power to close up the heavens, so that it may not rain during the days of their prophesying. And they have power over the waters, to convert them into blood, and to strike the earth with every kind of affliction as often as they will.
7 Pero cuando hayan terminado de dar testimonio, la Bestia que surja del Abismo les hará la guerra, los vencerá y los matará.7 And when they will have finished their testimony, the beast that ascended from the abyss will make war against them, and will overcome them, and will kill them.
8 Y sus cadáveres, en la plaza de la Gran Ciudad, que simbólicamente se llama Sodoma o Egipto, allí donde también su Señor fue crucificado.8 And their bodies shall lie in the streets of the Great City, which is figuratively called ‘Sodom’ and ‘Egypt,’ the place where their Lord also was crucified.
9 Y gentes de los pueblos, razas, lenguas y naciones, contemplarán sus cadáveres tres días y medio: no está permitido sepultar sus cadáveres.9 And those from the tribes and peoples and languages and nations shall be watching their bodies for three and one half days. And they shall not permit their bodies to be placed in tombs.
10 Los habitantes de la tierra se alegran y se regocijan por causa de ellos, y se intercambian regalos, porque estos dos profetas habían atormentado a los habitantes de la tierra.10 And the inhabitants of the earth will rejoice over them, and they will celebrate, and they will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tortured those who were living upon the earth.
11 Pero, pasados los tres días y medio, un aliento de vida procedente de Dios entró en ellos y se pusireon de pie, y un gran espanto se apoderó de quienes los contemplaban.11 And after three and one half days, the spirit of life from God entered into them. And they stood upright on their feet. And a great fear fell over those who saw them.
12 Oí entonces una fuerte voz que les decía desde el cielo: «Subid acá». Y subieron al cielo en la nube, a la vista de sus enemigos.12 And they heard a great voice from heaven, saying to them, “Ascend to here!” And they ascended into heaven on a cloud. And their enemies saw them.
13 En aquella hora se produjo un violento terremoto, y la décima parte de la ciudad se derrumbó, y con el terremoto perecieron 7.000 personas. Los supervivientes, presa de espanto, dieron gloria al Dios del cielo.13 And at that hour, a great earthquake occurred. And one tenth part of the City fell. And the names of the men slain in the earthquake were seven thousand. And the remainder were thrown into fear, and they gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 El segundo ¡Ay! ha pasado. Mira que viene en seguida el tercero.14 The second woe has gone out, but behold, the third woe approaches quickly.
15 Tocó el séptimo Angel... Entonces sonaron en el cielo fuertes voces que decían: «Ha llegado el reinado sobre el mundo de nuestro Señor y de su Cristo; y reinará por los siglos de los siglos».15 And the seventh Angel sounded the trumpet. And there were great voices in heaven, saying: “The kingdom of this world has become our Lord’s and his Christ’s, and he shall reign forever and ever. Amen.”
16 Y los veinticuatro Ancianos que estaban sentados en sus tronos delante de Dios, se postraron rostro en tierra y adoraron a Dios diciendo:16 And the twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones in the sight of God, fell upon their faces, and they adored God, saying:
17 «Te damos gracias, Señor Dios Todopoderoso, “Aquel que es y que era” porque has asumido tu inmenso poder para establecer tu reinado.17 “We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, who is, and who was, and who is to come. For you have taken your great power, and you have reigned.
18 Las naciones se habían encolerizado; pero ha llegado tu cólera y el tiempo de que los muertos sean juzgados, el tiempo de dar la recompensa a tus siervos los profetas, a los santos y a los que temen tu nombre, pequeños y grandes, y de destruir a los que destruyen la tierra».18 And the nations became angry, but your wrath arrived, and the time for the dead to be judged, and to render a reward to your servants the prophets, and to the saints, and to those who fear your name, small and great, and to exterminate those who have corrupted the earth.”
19 Y se abrió el Santuario de Dios en el cielo, y apareció el arca de su alianza en el Santuario, y se produjeron relámpagos, y fragor, y truenos, y temblor de tierra y fuerte granizada.19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven. And the Ark of his Testament was seen in his temple. And there were lightnings and voices and thunders, and an earthquake, and great hail.
