Apocalypsis Ioannis, 19

1. post hæc audivi quasi vocem magnam turbarum multarum in cælo dicentium alleluja salus et gloria et virtus Deo nostro est

1. After these things I heard as it were the voice of much people in heaven, saying: Alleluia. Salvation, and glory, and power is to our God.

2. quia vera et justa judicia sunt ejus quia judicavit de meretrice magna quæ corrupit terram in prostitutione sua et vindicavit sanguinem servorum suorum de manibus ejus

2. For true and just are his judgments, who hath judged the great harlot which corrupted the earth with her fornication, and hath revenged the blood of his servants, at her hands.

3. et iterum dixerunt alleluja et fumus ejus ascendit in sæcula sæculorum

3. And again they said: Alleluia. And her smoke ascendeth for ever and ever.

4. et ceciderunt seniores viginti quattuor et quattuor animalia et adoraverunt Deum sedentem super thronum dicentes amen alleluja

4. And the four and twenty ancients, and the four living creatures fell down and adored God that sitteth upon the throne, saying: Amen; Alleluia.

5. et vox de throno exivit dicens laudem dicite Deo nostro omnes servi ejus et qui timetis eum pusilli et magni

5. And a voice came out from the throne, saying: Give praise to our God, all ye his servants; and you that fear him, little and great.

6. et audivi quasi vocem turbæ magnæ et sicut vocem aquarum multarum et sicut vocem tonitruum magnorum dicentium alleluja quoniam regnavit Dominus Deus noster omnipotens

6. And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of great thunders, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord our God the Almighty hath reigned.

7. gaudeamus et exultemus et demus gloriam ei quia venerunt nuptiæ agni et uxor ejus præparavit se

7. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give glory to him; for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath prepared herself.

8. et datum est illi ut cooperiat se byssinum splendens candidum byssinum enim justificationes sunt sanctorum

8. And it is granted to her that she should clothe herself with fine linen, glittering and white. For the fine linen are the justifications of saints.

9. et dicit mihi scribe beati qui ad cenam nuptiarum agni vocati sunt et dicit mihi hæc verba vera Dei sunt

9. And he said to me: Write: Blessed are they that are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith to me: These words of God are true.

10. et cecidi ante pedes ejus ut adorarem eum et dicit mihi vide ne feceris conservus tuus sum et fratrum tuorum habentium testimonium Jesu Deum adora testimonium enim Jesu est spiritus prophetiæ

10. And I fell down before his feet, to adore him. And he saith to me: See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren, who have the testimony of Jesus. Adore God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

11. et vidi cælum apertum et ecce equus albus et qui sedebat super eum vocabatur Fidelis et Verax vocatur et justitia judicat et pugnat

11. And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called faithful and true, and with justice doth he judge and fight.

12. oculi autem ejus sicut flamma ignis et in capite ejus diademata multa habens nomen scriptum quod nemo novit nisi ipse

12. And his eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many diadems, and he had a name written, which no man knoweth but himself.

13. et vestitus erat vestem aspersam sanguine et vocatur nomen ejus Verbum Dei

13. And he was clothed with a garment sprinkled with blood; and his name is called, THE WORD OF GOD.

14. et exercitus qui sunt in cælo sequebantur eum in equis albis vestiti byssinum album mundum

14. And the armies that are in heaven followed him on white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

15. et de ore ipsius procedit gladius acutus ut in ipso percutiat gentes et ipse reget eos in virga ferrea et ipse calcat torcular vini furoris iræ Dei omnipotentis

15. And out of his mouth proceedeth a sharp two edged sword; that with it he may strike the nations. And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God the Almighty.

16. et habet in vestimento et in femore suo scriptum rex regum et Dominus dominantium

16. And he hath on his garment, and on his thigh written: KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

17. et vidi unum angelum stantem in sole et clamavit voce magna dicens omnibus avibus quæ volabant per medium cæli venite congregamini ad cenam magnam Dei

17. And I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that did fly through the midst of heaven: Come, gather yourselves together to the great supper of God:

18. ut manducetis carnes regum et carnes tribunorum et carnes fortium et carnes equorum et sedentium in ipsis et carnes omnium liberorum ac servorum et pusillorum ac magnorum

18. That you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of tribunes, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all freemen and bondmen, and of little and of great.

19. et vidi bestiam et reges terræ et exercitus eorum congregatos ad faciendum prœlium cum illo qui sedebat in equo et cum exercitu ejus

19. And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies gathered together to make war with him that sat upon the horse, and with his army.

20. et adprehensa est bestia et cum illo pseudopropheta qui fecit signa coram ipso quibus seduxit eos qui acceperunt caracterem bestiæ qui et adorant imaginem ejus vivi missi sunt hii duo in stagnum ignis ardentis sulphure

20. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet, who wrought signs before him, wherewith he seduced them who received the character of the beast, and who adored his image. These two were cast alive into the pool of fire, burning with brimstone.

21. et ceteri occisi sunt in gladio sedentis super equum qui procedit de ore ipsius et omnes aves saturatæ sunt carnibus eorum

21. And the rest were slain by the sword of him that sitteth upon the horse, which proceedeth out of his mouth; and all the birds were filled with their flesh.
