Apocalypsis Ioannis, 20

1. Et vidi angelum descen dentem de caelo habentem clavem abyssi et catenam magnam in manu sua.

1. Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain.

2. Et apprehendit draconem, serpentem antiquum, qui est Diabolus et Satanas, et ligavit eum per annos mille;

2. And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years,

3. et misit eum in abyssum et clausit et signavit super illum, ut non seducat amplius gentes, donec consummentur mille anni; post haec oportet illum solvi modico tempore.

3. and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years were ended. After that he must be loosed for a little while.

4. Et vidi thronos, et sederunt super eos, et iudicium datum est illis; et animas decollatorum propter testimonium Iesu et propter verbum Dei, et qui non adoraverunt bestiam neque imaginem eius nec acceperunt characterem in frontibus et in manibus suis; et vixerunt et regnaverunt cum Christo mille annis.

4. Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom judgment was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony to Jesus and for the word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life, and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

5. Ceteri mortuorum non vixerunt, donec consummentur mille anni. Haec est resurrectio prima.

5. The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection.

6. Beatus et sanctus, qui habet partem in resurrectione prima! In his secunda mors non habet potestatem, sed erunt sacerdotes Dei et Christi et regnabunt cum illo mille annis.

6. Blessed and holy is he who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and they shall reign with him a thousand years.

7. Et cum consummati fuerint mille anni, solvetur Satanas de carcere suo

7. And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be loosed from his prison

8. et exibit seducere gentes, quae sunt in quattuor angulis terrae, Gog et Magog; congregare eos in proelium, quorum numerus est sicut arena maris.

8. and will come out to deceive the nations which are at the four corners of the earth, that is, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea.

9. Et ascenderunt super latitudinem terrae et circumierunt castra sanctorum et civitatem dilectam. Et descendit ignis de caelo et devoravit eos;

9. And they marched up over the broad earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city; but fire came down from heaven and consumed them,

10. et Diabolus, qui seducebat eos, missus est in stagnum ignis et sulphuris, ubi et bestia et pseudopropheta, et cruciabuntur die ac nocte in saecula saeculorum.

10. and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulphur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

11. Et vidi thronum magnum candidum et sedentem super eum, a cuius aspectu fugit terra et caelum, et locus non est inventus eis.

11. Then I saw a great white throne and him who sat upon it; from his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them.

12. Et vidi mortuos, magnos et pusillos, stantes in conspectu throni; et libri aperti sunt. Et alius liber apertus est, qui est vitae; et iudicati sunt mortui ex his, quae scripta erant in libris, secundum opera ipsorum.

12. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Also another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, by what they had done.

13. Et dedit mare mortuos, qui in eo erant, et mors et infernus dederunt mortuos, qui in ipsis erant; et iudicati sunt singuli secundum opera ipsorum.

13. And the sea gave up the dead in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead in them, and all were judged by what they had done.

14. Et mors et infernus missi sunt in stagnum ignis. Haec mors secunda est, stagnum ignis.

14. Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire;

15. Et si quis non est inventus in libro vitae scriptus, missus est in stagnum ignis.

15. and if any one's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
