Apocalypsis Ioannis, 11

1. Et datus est mihi calamus similis virgae dicens: “Surge et metire templum Dei et altare et adorantes in eo.

1. Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff, and I was told: "Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and those who worship there,

2. Atrium autem, quod est foris templum, eice foras et ne metiaris illud, quoniam datum est gentibus, et civitatem sanctam calcabunt mensibus quadraginta duobus.

2. but do not measure the court outside the temple; leave that out, for it is given over to the nations, and they will trample over the holy city for forty-two months.

3. Et dabo duobus testibus meis, et prophetabunt diebus mille ducentis sexaginta amicti saccis”.

3. And I will grant my two witnesses power to prophesy for one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth."

4. Hi sunt duae olivae et duo candelabra in conspectu Domini terrae stantes.

4. These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands which stand before the Lord of the earth.

5. Et si quis eis vult nocere, ignis exit de ore illorum et devorat inimicos eorum; et si quis voluerit eos laedere, sic oportet eum occidi.

5. And if any one would harm them, fire pours out from their mouth and consumes their foes; if any one would harm them, thus he is doomed to be killed.

6. Hi habent potestatem claudendi caelum, ne pluat pluvia diebus prophetiae ipsorum; et potestatem habent super aquas convertendi eas in sanguinem et percutere terram omni plaga, quotienscumque voluerint.

6. They have power to shut the sky, that no rain may fall during the days of their prophesying, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.

7. Et cum finierint testimonium suum, bestia, quae ascendit de abysso, faciet adversus illos bellum et vincet eos et occidet illos.

7. And when they have finished their testimony, the beast that ascends from the bottomless pit will make war upon them and conquer them and kill them,

8. Et corpus eorum in platea civitatis magnae, quae vocatur spiritaliter Sodoma et Aegyptus, ubi et Dominus eorum crucifixus est;

8. and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which is allegorically called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was crucified.

9. et vident de populis et tribubus et linguis et gentibus corpus eorum per tres dies et dimidium, et corpora eorum non sinunt poni in monumento.

9. For three days and a half men from the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations gaze at their dead bodies and refuse to let them be placed in a tomb,

10. Et inhabitantes terram gaudent super illis et iucundantur et munera mittent invicem, quoniam hi duo prophetae cruciaverunt eos, qui inhabitant super terram.

10. and those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and make merry and exchange presents, because these two prophets had been a torment to those who dwell on the earth.

11. Et post dies tres et dimidium spiritus vitae a Deo intravit in eos, et steterunt super pedes suos; et timor magnus cecidit super eos, qui videbant eos.

11. But after the three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood up on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them.

12. Et audierunt vocem magnam de caelo dicentem illis: “Ascendite huc”; et ascenderunt in caelum in nube, et viderunt illos inimici eorum.

12. Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up hither!" And in the sight of their foes they went up to heaven in a cloud.

13. Et in illa hora factus est terraemotus magnus, et decima pars civitatis cecidit, et occisi sunt in terraemotu nomina hominum septem milia, et reliqui in timorem sunt missi et dederunt gloriam Deo caeli.

13. And at that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell; seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.

14. Vae secundum abiit; ecce vae tertium venit cito.

14. The second woe has passed; behold, the third woe is soon to come.

15. Et septimus angelus tuba cecinit, et factae sunt voces magnae in caelo dicentes: “Factum est regnum huius mundi Domini nostri et Christi eius, et regnabit in saecula saeculorum”.

15. Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign for ever and ever."

16. Et viginti quattuor seniores, qui in conspectu Dei sedent in thronis suis, ceciderunt super facies suas et adoraverunt Deum

16. And the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God,

17. dicentes: “Gratias agimus tibi, Domine, Deus omnipotens, qui es et qui eras, quia accepisti virtutem tuam magnam et regnasti.

17. saying, "We give thanks to thee, Lord God Almighty, who art and who wast, that thou hast taken thy great power and begun to reign.

18. Et iratae sunt gentes, et advenit ira tua, et tempus mortuorum iudicari et reddere mercedem servis tuis prophetis et sanctis et timentibus nomen tuum, pusillis et magnis, et exterminare eos, qui exterminant terram”.

18. The nations raged, but thy wrath came, and the time for the dead to be judged, for rewarding thy servants, the prophets and saints, and those who fear thy name, both small and great, and for destroying the destroyers of the earth."

19. Et apertum est templum Dei in caelo, et visa est arca testamenti eius in templo eius; et facta sunt fulgura et voces et terraemotus et grando magna.

19. Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple; and there were flashes of lightning, voices, peals of thunder, an earthquake, and heavy hail.
