Revelation 22
King James Version
22 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.
7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.
9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
Apocalipsis 22
La Palabra (Hispanoamérica)
El río de agua viva
22 El ángel me enseñó también un río de agua viva, transparente como el cristal, que manaba del trono de Dios y del Cordero. 2 En medio de la plaza de la ciudad, a una y otra orilla del río, crecía un árbol de vida que daba doce cosechas, a cosecha por mes, y sus hojas servían de medicina a las naciones. 3 Allí no habrá ya nada maldito. Será la ciudad del trono de Dios y del Cordero, donde sus servidores le rendirán culto, 4 contemplarán su rostro y llevarán su nombre grabado en la frente. 5 Una ciudad sin noches y sin necesidad de antorchas ni de sol, porque el Señor Dios será la luz que alumbre a sus habitantes, los cuales reinarán por siempre.
Epílogo (22,6-21)
Estoy a punto de llegar
6 El ángel me dijo:
— Palabras verdaderas y dignas de crédito son estas. El Señor, el Dios que inspiró a los profetas, ha enviado a su ángel para que comunique a sus servidores lo que va a suceder de un momento a otro. 7 Mira que estoy a punto de llegar. ¡Dichoso quien preste atención al mensaje profético de este libro!
8 Yo, Juan, vi y oí todo esto. Y cuando terminé de oírlo y de verlo, me postré a los pies del ángel que me lo enseñaba, con intención de adorarlo. 9 Pero él me dijo:
— ¿Qué haces? Yo soy un simple servidor como tú y tus hermanos los profetas, como todos los que prestan atención al mensaje de este libro. A Dios debes adorar.
10 Y añadió:
— No mantengas en secreto el mensaje profético de este libro, pues la hora definitiva está al caer. 11 Ya casi da igual que el pecador siga pecando, que el manchado se manche aún más, que el bueno se haga mejor y que el consagrado a Dios se entregue aún más a él. 12 Estoy a punto de llegar y voy a recompensar a cada uno conforme a su conducta. 13 Yo soy el Alfa y la Omega, el primero y el último, el principio y el fin. 14 ¡Dichosos los que han decidido lavar sus vestiduras para tener acceso al árbol de la vida y poder entrar en la ciudad a través de sus puertas! 15 ¡Fuera, en cambio, los depravados, los hechiceros, los lujuriosos, los asesinos, los idólatras y todos cuantos hacen de la mentira el programa de su vida!
Advertencia y anhelo final
16 Yo, Jesús, he enviado a mi ángel a cada una de las iglesias para que sea testigo de todos estos acontecimientos. Yo que soy vástago y estirpe de David y astro radiante de la mañana.
17 El Espíritu y la Esposa claman:
— ¡Ven!
Y el que escucha, diga:
— ¡Ven!
Que venga también el sediento y, si lo desea, se le dará gratis agua de vida.
18 A todo el que escuche el mensaje profético de este libro, solemnemente le advierto: Si añade algo, Dios hará caer sobre él las calamidades consignadas en este libro. 19 Si suprime algo del mensaje profético del libro, Dios lo desgajará del árbol de la vida y lo excluirá de la ciudad santa descritos en este libro.
20 El que da fe de todo esto proclama:
— Sí, estoy a punto de llegar.
¡Amén! ¡Ven, Señor Jesús!
21 Que la gracia de Jesús, el Señor, esté con todos. Amén.
Revelation 22
New King James Version
The River of Life
22 And he showed me (A)a [a]pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 (B)In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was (C)the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were (D)for the healing of the nations. 3 And (E)there shall be no more curse, (F)but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His (G)servants shall serve Him. 4 (H)They shall see His face, and (I)His name shall be on their foreheads. 5 (J)There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor (K)light of the sun, for (L)the Lord God gives them light. (M)And they shall reign forever and ever.
The Time Is Near
6 Then he said to me, (N)“These words are faithful and true.” And the Lord God of the [b]holy prophets (O)sent His angel to show His servants the things which must (P)shortly take place.
7 (Q)“Behold, I am coming quickly! (R)Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”
8 Now I, John, [c]saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, (S)I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things.
9 Then he said to me, (T)“See that you do not do that. [d]For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.” 10 (U)And he said to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, (V)for the time is at hand. 11 He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him [e]be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.”
Jesus Testifies to the Churches
12 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and (W)My reward is with Me, (X)to give to every one according to his work. 13 (Y)I am the Alpha and the Omega, the [f]Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”
14 (Z)Blessed are those who [g]do His commandments, that they may have the right (AA)to the tree of life, (AB)and may enter through the gates into the city. 15 [h]But (AC)outside are (AD)dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.
16 (AE)“I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. (AF)I am the Root and the Offspring of David, (AG)the Bright and Morning Star.”
17 And the Spirit and (AH)the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” (AI)And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.
A Warning
18 [i]For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: (AJ)If anyone adds to these things, [j]God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, (AK)God[k] shall take away his part from the [l]Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
I Am Coming Quickly
20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.”
Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be [m]with you all. Amen.
