NEW AMERICAN BIBLENOVA VULGATA
1 After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth became illumined by his splendor.1 Post haec vidi alium ange lum descendentem de caelo, habentem potestatemmagnam; et terra illuminata est a claritate eius.
2 He cried out in a mighty voice: "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great. She has become a haunt for demons. She is a cage for every unclean spirit, a cage for every unclean bird, (a cage for every unclean) and disgusting (beast).2 Et clamavit in forti vocedicens: “ Cecidit, cecidit Babylon magna et facta est habitatio daemoniorum etcustodia omnis spiritus immundi et custodia omnis bestiae immundae et odibilis;
3 For all the nations have drunk the wine of her licentious passion. The kings of the earth had intercourse with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her drive for luxury."3 quia de vino irae fornicationis eius biberunt omnes gentes, et reges terraecum illa fornicati sunt, et mercatores terrae de virtute deliciarum eius divitesfacti sunt! ”.
4 Then I heard another voice from heaven say: "Depart from her, my people, so as not to take part in her sins and receive a share in her plagues,4 Et audivi aliam vocem de caelo dicentem: “ Exite de illa, populus meus, utne comparticipes sitis peccatorum eius et de plagis eius non accipiatis,
5 for her sins are piled up to the sky, and God remembers her crimes.5 quoniam pervenerunt peccata eius usque ad caelum, et recordatus est Deusiniquitatum eius.
6 Pay her back as she has paid others. Pay her back double for her deeds. Into her cup pour double what she poured.6 Reddite illi, sicut et ipsa reddidit, et duplicate dupliciasecundum opera eius; in poculo, quo miscuit, miscete illi duplum.
7 To the measure of her boasting and wantonness repay her in torment and grief; for she said to herself, 'I sit enthroned as queen; I am no widow, and I will never know grief.'7 Quantumglorificavit se et in deliciis fuit, tantum date illi tormentum et luctum. Quiain corde suo dicit: “Sedeo regina et vidua non sum et luctum non videbo”,
8 Therefore, her plagues will come in one day, pestilence, grief, and famine; she will be consumed by fire. For mighty is the Lord God who judges her."8 ideo in una die venient plagae eius, mors et luctus et fames, et ignecomburetur, quia fortis est Dominus Deus, qui iudicavit illam ”.
9 The kings of the earth who had intercourse with her in their wantonness will weep and mourn over her when they see the smoke of her pyre.9 Et flebunt et plangent se super illam reges terrae, qui cum illa fornicatisunt et in deliciis vixerunt, cum viderint fumum incendii eius,
10 They will keep their distance for fear of the torment inflicted on her, and they will say: "Alas, alas, great city, Babylon, mighty city. In one hour your judgment has come."10 longe stantespropter timorem tormentorum eius, dicentes: “ Vae, vae, civitas illa magna,Babylon, civitas illa fortis, quoniam una hora venit iudicium tuum! ”.
11 The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn for her, because there will be no more markets for their cargo:11 Et negotiatores terrae flent et lugent super illam, quoniam mercem eorum nemoemit amplius:
12 their cargo of gold, silver, precious stones, and pearls; fine linen, purple silk, and scarlet cloth; fragrant wood of every kind, all articles of ivory and all articles of the most expensive wood, bronze, iron, and marble;12 mercem auri et argenti et lapidis pretiosi et margaritarum, etbyssi et purpurae et serici et cocci, et omne lignum thyinum et omnia vasaeboris et omnia vasa de ligno pretiosissimo et aeramento et ferro et marmore,
13 cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, and frankincense; wine, olive oil, fine flour, and wheat; cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and slaves, that is, human beings.13 et cinnamomum et amomum et odoramenta et unguenta et tus, et vinum et oleum etsimilam et triticum, et iumenta et oves et equorum et raedarum, et mancipiorumet animas hominum.
14 "The fruit you craved has left you. All your luxury and splendor are gone, never again will one find them."14 Et fructus tui, desiderium animae, discesserunt a te, etomnia pinguia et clara perierunt a te, et amplius illa iam non invenient.
15 The merchants who deal in these goods, who grew rich from her, will keep their distance for fear of the torment inflicted on her. Weeping and mourning,15 Mercatores horum, qui divites facti sunt ab ea, longe stabunt propter timoremtormentorum eius flentes ac lugentes,
16 they cry out: "Alas, alas, great city, wearing fine linen, purple and scarlet, adorned (in) gold, precious stones, and pearls.16 dicentes: “ Vae, vae, civitas illamagna, quae amicta erat byssino et purpura et cocco, et deaurata auro et lapidepretioso et margarita,
17 In one hour this great wealth has been ruined." Every captain of a ship, every traveler at sea, sailors, and seafaring merchants stood at a distance17 quoniam una hora desolatae sunt tantae divitiae! ”.
Et omnis gubernator et omnis, qui in locum navigat, et nautae et, quotquot mariaoperantur, longe steterunt
18 and cried out when they saw the smoke of her pyre, "What city could compare with the great city?"18 et clamabant, videntes fumum incendii eius,dicentes: “ Quae similis civitati huic magnae? ”.
19 They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and mourning: "Alas, alas, great city, in which all who had ships at sea grew rich from her wealth. In one hour she has been ruined.19 Et miserunt pulveremsuper capita sua et clamabant, flentes et lugentes, dicentes: “ Vae, vae,civitas illa magna, in qua divites facti sunt omnes, qui habent naves in mari,de opibus eius, quoniam una hora desolata est!
20 Rejoice over her, heaven, you holy ones, apostles, and prophets. For God has judged your case against her."20 Exsulta super eam, caelum, etsancti et apostoli et prophetae, quoniam iudicavit Deus iudicium vestrum deilla! ”.
21 A mighty angel picked up a stone like a huge millstone and threw it into the sea and said: "With such force will Babylon the great city be thrown down, and will never be found again.21 Et sustulit unus angelus fortis lapidem quasi molarem magnum et misit in maredicens: “Impetu sic mittetur Babylon magna illa civitas et ultra iam noninvenietur.
22 No melodies of harpists and musicians, flutists and trumpeters, will ever be heard in you again. No craftsmen in any trade will ever be found in you again. No sound of the millstone will ever be heard in you again.22 Et vox citharoedorum et musicorum et tibia canentium et tuba nonaudietur in te amplius, et omnis artifex omnis artis non invenietur in teamplius, et vox molae non audietur in te amplius,
23 No light from a lamp will ever be seen in you again. No voices of bride and groom will ever be heard in you again. Because your merchants were the great ones of the world, all nations were led astray by your magic potion.23 et lux lucernae non lucebittibi amplius, et vox sponsi et sponsae non audietur in te amplius; quiamercatores tui erant magnates terrae, quia in veneficiis tuis erraverunt omnesgentes,
24 In her was found the blood of prophets and holy ones and all who have been slain on the earth."24 et in ea sanguis prophetarum et sanctorum inventus est et omnium, quiinterfecti sunt in terra! ”.
