Apocalypsis Ioannis, 8

1. Et cum aperuisset sigillum septimum, factum est silentium in caelo quasi media hora.

1. When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.

2. Et vidi septem angelos, qui stant in conspectu Dei, et datae sunt illis septem tubae.

2. Then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.

3. Et alius angelus venit et stetit ante altare habens turibulum aureum, et data sunt illi incensa multa, ut daret orationibus sanctorum omnium super altare aureum, quod est ante thronum.

3. And another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer; and he was given much incense to mingle with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar before the throne;

4. Et ascendit fumus incensorum de orationibus sanctorum de manu angeli coram Deo.

4. and the smoke of the incense rose with the prayers of the saints from the hand of the angel before God.

5. Et accepit angelus turibulum et implevit illud de igne altaris et misit in terram; et facta sunt tonitrua et voces et fulgura et terraemotus.

5. Then the angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth; and there were peals of thunder, voices, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.

6. Et septem angeli, qui habebant septem tubas, paraverunt se, ut tuba canerent.

6. Now the seven angels who had the seven trumpets made ready to blow them.

7. Et primus tuba cecinit. Et facta est grando et ignis mixta in sanguine, et missum est in terram: et tertia pars terrae combusta est, et tertia pars arborum combusta est, et omne fenum viride combustum est.

7. The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, which fell on the earth; and a third of the earth was burnt up, and a third of the trees were burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

8. Et secundus angelus tuba cecinit. Et tamquam mons magnus igne ardens missus est in mare: et facta est tertia pars maris sanguis,

8. The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea;

9. et mortua est tertia pars creaturarum, quae in mari sunt, quae habent animas, et tertia pars navium interiit.

9. and a third of the sea became blood, a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

10. Et tertius angelus tuba cecinit. Et cecidit de caelo stella magna ardens tamquam facula et cecidit super tertiam partem fluminum et super fontes aquarum.

10. The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the fountains of water.

11. Et nomen stellae dicitur Absinthius. Et facta est tertia pars aquarum in absinthium, et multi hominum mortui sunt de aquis, quia amarae factae sunt.

11. The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died of the water, because it was made bitter.

12. Et quartus angelus tuba cecinit. Et percussa est tertia pars solis et tertia pars lunae et tertia pars stellarum, ut obscuraretur tertia pars eorum, et diei non luceret pars tertia, et nox similiter.

12. The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of their light was darkened; a third of the day was kept from shining, and likewise a third of the night.

13. Et vidi et audivi unam aquilam volantem per medium caelum dicentem voce magna: “Vae, vae, vae habitantibus in terra de ceteris vocibus tubae trium angelorum, qui tuba canituri sunt!”.

13. Then I looked, and I heard an eagle crying with a loud voice, as it flew in midheaven, "Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, at the blasts of the other trumpets which the three angels are about to blow!"
