Apocalypsis Ioannis, 16

1. Et audivi vocem magnam de templo dicentem septem an gelis: “Ite et effundite septem phialas irae Dei in terram”.

1. Then I heard a loud voice from the temple telling the seven angels, "Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God."

2. Et abiit primus et effudit phialam suam in terram; et factum est vulnus saevum ac pessimum in homines, qui habebant characterem bestiae, et eos, qui adorabant imaginem eius.

2. So the first angel went and poured his bowl on the earth, and foul and evil sores came upon the men who bore the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.

3. Et secundus effudit phialam suam in mare; et factus est sanguis tamquam mortui, et omnis anima vivens mortua est, quae est in mari.

3. The second angel poured his bowl into the sea, and it became like the blood of a dead man, and every living thing died that was in the sea.

4. Et tertius effudit phialam suam in flumina et in fontes aquarum; et factus est sanguis.

4. The third angel poured his bowl into the rivers and the fountains of water, and they became blood.

5. Et audivi angelum aquarum dicentem: “Iustus es, qui es et qui eras, Sanctus, quia haec iudicasti;

5. And I heard the angel of water say, "Just art thou in these thy judgments, thou who art and wast, O Holy One.

6. quia sanguinem sanctorum et prophetarum fuderunt, et sanguinem eis dedisti bibere: digni sunt!”.

6. For men have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink. It is their due!"

7. Et audivi altare dicens: “Etiam, Domine, Deus omnipotens, vera et iusta iudicia tua!”.

7. And I heard the altar cry, "Yea, Lord God the Almighty, true and just are thy judgments!"

8. Et quartus effudit phialam suam in solem; et datum est illi aestu afficere homines in igne.

8. The fourth angel poured his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch men with fire;

9. Et aestuaverunt homines aestu magno; et blasphemaverunt nomen Dei habentis potestatem super has plagas et non egerunt paenitentiam, ut darent illi gloriam.

9. men were scorched by the fierce heat, and they cursed the name of God who had power over these plagues, and they did not repent and give him glory.

10. Et quintus effudit phialam suam super thronum bestiae; et factum est regnum eius tenebrosum, et commanducaverunt linguas suas prae dolore

10. The fifth angel poured his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was in darkness; men gnawed their tongues in anguish

11. et blasphemaverunt Deum caeli prae doloribus suis et vulneribus suis et non egerunt paenitentiam ex operibus suis.

11. and cursed the God of heaven for their pain and sores, and did not repent of their deeds.

12. Et sextus effudit phialam suam super flumen illud magnum Euphraten; et exsiccata est aqua eius, ut praepararetur via regibus, qui sunt ab ortu solis.

12. The sixth angel poured his bowl on the great river Euphra'tes, and its water was dried up, to prepare the way for the kings from the east.

13. Et vidi de ore draconis et de ore bestiae et de ore pseudoprophetae spiritus tres immundos velut ranas;

13. And I saw, issuing from the mouth of the dragon and from the mouth of the beast and from the mouth of the false prophet, three foul spirits like frogs;

14. sunt enim spiritus daemoniorum facientes signa, qui procedunt ad reges universi orbis congregare illos in proelium diei magni Dei omnipotentis.

14. for they are demonic spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty.

15. Ecce venio sicut fur. Beatus, qui vigilat et custodit vestimenta sua, ne nudus ambulet, et videant turpitudinem eius.

15. ("Lo, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is he who is awake, keeping his garments that he may not go naked and be seen exposed!")

16. Et congregavit illos in locum, qui vocatur Hebraice Harmagedon.

16. And they assembled them at the place which is called in Hebrew Armaged'don.

17. Et septimus effudit phialam suam in aerem; et exivit vox magna de templo a throno dicens: “Factum est!”.

17. The seventh angel poured his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, "It is done!"

18. Et facta sunt fulgura et voces et tonitrua, et terraemotus factus est magnus, qualis numquam fuit, ex quo homo fuit super terram, talis terraemotus sic magnus.

18. And there were flashes of lightning, voices, peals of thunder, and a great earthquake such as had never been since men were on the earth, so great was that earthquake.

19. Et facta est civitas magna in tres partes, et civitates gentium ceciderunt. Et Babylon magna venit in memoriam ante Deum dare ei calicem vini indignationis irae eius.

19. The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God remembered great Babylon, to make her drain the cup of the fury of his wrath.

20. Et omnis insula fugit, et montes non sunt inventi.

20. And every island fled away, and no mountains were to be found;

21. Et grando magna sicut talentum descendit de caelo in homines; et blasphemaverunt homines Deum propter plagam grandinis, quoniam magna est plaga eius nimis.

21. and great hailstones, heavy as a hundred-weight, dropped on men from heaven, till men cursed God for the plague of the hail, so fearful was that plague.
