NEW JERUSALEMNOVA VULGATA
1 Then I saw another powerful angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in cloud, with a rainbow overhis head; his face was like the sun, and his legs were pillars of fire.1 Et vidi alium angelum for tem descendentem de caelo amictum nube, etiris super caput, et facies eius erat ut sol, et pedes eius tamquam columnaeignis;
2 In his hand he had a small scroll, unrol ed; he put his right foot in the sea and his left foot on the land2 et habebat in manu sua libellum apertum. Et posuit pedem suum dexterumsupra mare, sinistrum autem super terram,
3 and he shouted so loud, it was like a lion roaring. At this, the seven claps of thunder made themselvesheard3 et clamavit voce magna, quemadmodumcum leo rugit. Et cum clamasset, locuta sunt septem tonitrua voces suas.
4 and when the seven thunderclaps had sounded, I was preparing to write, when I heard a voice fromheaven say to me, 'Keep the words of the seven thunderclaps secret and do not write them down.'4 Etcum locuta fuissent septem tonitrua, scripturus eram; et audivi vocem de caelodicentem: “ Signa, quae locuta sunt septem tonitrua, et noli ea scribere ”.
5 Then the angel that I had seen, standing on the sea and the land, raised his right hand to heaven,5 Et angelus, quem vidi stantem supra mare et supra terram, levavit manum suamdexteram ad caelum
6 and swore by him who lives for ever and ever, and made heaven and all that it contains, and earth andal it contains, and the sea and al it contains, 'The time of waiting is over;6 et iuravit per Viventem in saecula saeculorum, qui creavitcaelum et ea, quae in illo sunt, et terram et ea, quae in ea sunt, et mare etea, quae in eo sunt: “ Tempus amplius non erit,
7 at the time when the seventh angel is heard sounding his trumpet, the mystery of God will be fulfil ed,just as he announced in the gospel to his servants the prophets.'7 sed in diebus vocis septimiangeli, cum coeperit tuba canere, et consummatum est mysterium Dei, sicutevangelizavit servis suis prophetis ”.
8 Then I heard the voice I had heard from heaven speaking to me again. 'Go', it said, 'and take thatopen scroll from the hand of the angel standing on sea and land.'8 Et vox, quam audivi de caelo, iterum loquentem mecum et dicentem: “ Vade,accipe librum apertum de manu angeli stantis supra mare et supra terram ”.
9 I went to the angel and asked him to give me the smal scrol , and he said, 'Take it and eat it; it wilturn your stomach sour, but it wil taste as sweet as honey.'9 Et abii ad angelum dicens ei, ut daret mihi libellum. Et dicit mihi: “ Accipeet devora illum; et faciet amaricare ventrem tuum, sed in ore tuo erit dulcistamquam mel ”.
10 So I took it out of the angel's hand, and I ate it and it tasted sweet as honey, but when I had eaten itmy stomach turned sour.10 Et accepi libellum de manu angeli et devoravi eum, et eratin ore meo tamquam mel dulcis; et cum devorassem eum, amaricatus est ventermeus.
11 Then I was told, 'You are to prophesy again, this time against many different nations and countriesand languages and kings.'11 Et dicunt mihi: “ Oportet te iterum prophetare super populis etgentibus et linguis et regibus multis ”.
