Apocalypsis Ioannis, 22

1. et ostendit mihi fluvium aquæ vitæ splendidum tamquam cristallum procedentem de sede Dei et agni

1. And he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb.

2. in medio plateæ ejus et ex utraque parte fluminis lignum vitæ adferens fructus duodecim per menses singula reddentia fructum suum et folia ligni ad sanitatem gentium

2. In the midst of the street thereof, and on both sides of the river, was the tree of life, bearing twelve fruits, yielding its fruits every month, and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

3. et omne maledictum non erit amplius et sedes Dei et agni in illa erunt et servi ejus servient illi

3. And there shall be no curse any more; but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and his servants shall serve him.

4. et videbunt faciem ejus et nomen ejus in frontibus eorum

4. And they shall see his face: and his name shall be on their foreheads.

5. et nox ultra non erit et non egebunt lumine lucernæ neque lumine solis quoniam Dominus Deus inluminat illos et regnabunt in sæcula sæculorum

5. And night shall be no more: and they shall not need the light of the lamp, nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God shall enlighten them, and they shall reign for ever and ever.

6. et dixit mihi hæc verba fidelissima et vera sunt et Dominus Deus spirituum prophetarum misit angelum suum ostendere servis suis quæ oportet fieri cito

6. And he said to me: These words are most faithful and true. And the Lord God of the spirits of the prophets sent his angel to shew his servants the things which must be done shortly.

7. et ecce venio velociter beatus qui custodit verba prophetiæ libri hujus

7. And, Behold I come quickly. Blessed is he that keepeth the words of the prophecy of this book.

8. et ego Johannes qui audivi et vidi hæc et postquam audissem et vidissem cecidi ut adorarem ante pedes angeli qui mihi hæc ostendebat

8. And I, John, who have heard and seen these things. And after I had heard and seen, I fell down to adore before the feet of the angel, who shewed me these things.

9. et dicit mihi vide ne feceris conservus tuus sum et fratrum tuorum prophetarum et eorum qui servant verba libri hujus Deum adora

9. And he said to me: See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them that keep the words of the prophecy of this book. Adore God.

10. et dicit mihi ne signaveris verba prophetiæ libri hujus tempus enim prope est

10. And he saith to me: Seal not the words of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.

11. qui nocet noceat adhuc et qui in sordibus est sordescat adhuc et justus justitiam faciat adhuc et sanctus sanctificetur adhuc

11. He that hurteth, let him hurt still: and he that is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is just, let him be justified still: and he that is holy, let him be sanctified still.

12. ecce venio cito et merces mea mecum est reddere unicuique secundum opera sua

13. ego Alpha et Omega primus et novissimus principium et finis

13. I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.

14. beati qui lavant stolas suas ut sit potestas eorum in ligno vitæ et portis intrent in civitatem

14. Blessed are they that wash their robes in the blood of the Lamb: that they may have a right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city.

15. foris canes et venefici et inpudici et homicidæ et idolis servientes et omnis qui amat et facit mendacium

15. Without are dogs, and sorcerers, and unchaste, and murderers, and servers of idols, and every one that loveth and maketh a lie.

16. I Jesus have sent my angel, to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the root and stock of David, the bright and morning star.

17. et Spiritus et sponsa dicunt veni et qui audit dicat veni et qui sitit veniat qui vult accipiat aquam vitæ gratis

17. And the spirit and the bride say: Come. And he that heareth, let him say: Come. And he that thirsteth, let him come: and he that will, let him take the water of life, freely.

18. contestor ego omni audienti verba prophetiæ libri hujus si quis adposuerit ad hæc adponet Deus super illum plagas scriptas in libro isto
