Apocalypsis Ioannis, 22

1. Et ostendit mihi fluvium aquae vitae splendidum tamquam crystallum, procedentem de throno Dei et Agni.

1. Then he showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb

2. In medio plateae eius et fluminis ex utraque parte lignum vitae afferens fructus duodecim, per menses singulos reddens fructum suum; et folia ligni ad sanitatem gentium.

2. through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

3. Et omne maledictum non erit amplius. Et thronus Dei et Agni in illa erit; et servi eius servient illi

3. There shall no more be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and his servants shall worship him;

4. et videbunt faciem eius, et nomen eius in frontibus eorum.

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

5. Et nox ultra non erit, et non egent lumine lucernae neque lumine solis, quoniam Dominus Deus illuminabit super illos, et regnabunt in saecula saeculorum.

5. And night shall be no more; they need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they shall reign for ever and ever.

6. Et dixit mihi: “Haec verba fidelissima et vera sunt, et Dominus, Deus spirituum prophetarum, misit angelum suum ostendere servis suis, quae oportet fieri cito.

6. And he said to me, "These words are trustworthy and true. And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place.

7. Et ecce venio velociter. Beatus, qui servat verba prophetiae libri huius”.

7. And behold, I am coming soon." Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.

8. Et ego Ioannes, qui audivi et vidi haec. Et postquam audissem et vidissem, cecidi, ut adorarem ante pedes angeli, qui mihi haec ostendebat.

8. I John am he who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me;

9. Et dicit mihi: “Vide, ne feceris. Conservus tuus sum et fratrum tuorum prophetarum et eorum, qui servant verba libri huius; Deum adora!”.

9. but he said to me, "You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brethren the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God."

10. Et dicit mihi: “Ne signaveris verba prophetiae libri huius; tempus enim prope est!

10. And he said to me, "Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near.

11. Qui nocet, noceat adhuc; et, qui sordidus est, sordescat adhuc; et iustus iustitiam faciat adhuc; et sanctus sanctificetur adhuc.

11. Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy."

12. Ecce venio cito, et merces mea mecum est, reddere unicuique sicut opus eius est.

12. "Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense, to repay every one for what he has done.

13. Ego Alpha et Omega, primus et novissimus, principium et finis.

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

14. Beati, qui lavant stolas suas, ut sit potestas eorum super lignum vitae, et per portas intrent in civitatem.

14. Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates.

15. Foris canes et venefici et impudici et homicidae et idolis servientes et omnis, qui amat et facit mendacium!

15. Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and fornicators and murderers and idolaters, and every one who loves and practices falsehood.

16. Ego Iesus misi angelum meum testificari vobis haec super ecclesiis. Ego sum radix et genus David, stella splendida matutina”.

16. "I Jesus have sent my angel to you with this testimony for the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright morning star."

17. Et Spiritus et sponsa dicunt: “Veni!”. Et, qui audit, dicat: “Veni!”. Et, qui sitit, veniat; qui vult, accipiat aquam vitae gratis.

17. The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come." And let him who hears say, "Come." And let him who is thirsty come, let him who desires take the water of life without price.

18. Contestor ego omni audienti verba prophetiae libri huius: Si quis apposuerit ad haec, apponet Deus super illum plagas scriptas in libro isto;

18. I warn every one who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if any one adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book,

19. et si quis abstulerit de verbis libri prophetiae huius, auferet Deus partem eius de ligno vitae et de civitate sancta, de his, quae scripta sunt in libro isto.

19. and if any one takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.

20. Dicit, qui testimonium perhibet istorum: “Etiam, venio cito”. “Amen. Veni, Domine Iesu!”.

20. He who testifies to these things says, "Surely I am coming soon." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!

21. Gratia Domini Iesu cum omnibus.
