Revelation 16

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels: Go, and pour out the seven vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.	1 I heard a loud voice speaking from the temple to the seven angels, "Go and pour out the seven bowls of God's fury upon the earth."
2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth, and there fell a sore and grievous wound upon men, who had the character of the beast; and upon them that adored the image thereof.	2 The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth. Festering and ugly sores broke out on those who had the mark of the beast or worshiped its image.
3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea, and there came blood as it were of a dead man; and every living soul died in the sea.	3 The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea. The sea turned to blood like that from a corpse; every creature living in the sea died.
4 And the third poured out his vial upon the rivers and the fountains of waters; and there was made blood.	4 The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water. These also turned to blood.
5 And I heard the angel of the waters saying: Thou art just, O Lord, who art, and who wast, the Holy One, because thou hast judged these things:	5 Then I heard the angel in charge of the waters say: "You are just, O Holy One, who are and who were, in passing this sentence.
6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.	6 For they have shed the blood of the holy ones and the prophets, and you (have) given them blood to drink; it is what they deserve."
7 And I heard another, from the altar, saying: Yea, O Lord God Almighty, true and just are thy judgments.	7 Then I heard the altar cry out, "Yes, Lord God almighty, your judgments are true and just."
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun, and it was given unto him to afflict men with heat and fire:	8 The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun. It was given the power to burn people with fire.
9 And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God, who hath power over these plagues, neither did they penance to give him glory.	9 People were burned by the scorching heat and blasphemed the name of God who had power over these plagues, but they did not repent or give him glory.
10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom became dark, and they gnawed their tongues for pain:	10 The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast. Its kingdom was plunged into darkness, and people bit their tongues in pain
11 And they blasphemed the God of heaven, because of their pains and wounds, and did not penance for their works.	11 and blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and sores. But they did not repent of their works.
12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon that great river Euphrates; and dried up the water thereof, that a way might be prepared for the kings from the rising of the sun.	12 The sixth angel emptied his bowl on the great river Euphrates. Its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings of the East.
13 And I saw from the mouth of the dragon, and from the mouth of the beast, and from the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs.	13 I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come from the mouth of the dragon, from the mouth of the beast, and from the mouth of the false prophet.
14 For they are the spirits of devils working signs, and they go forth unto the kings of the whole earth, to gather them to battle against the great day of the Almighty God.	14 These were demonic spirits who performed signs. They went out to the kings of the whole world to assemble them for the battle on the great day of God the almighty.
15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.	15 ("Behold, I am coming like a thief." Blessed is the one who watches and keeps his clothes ready, so that he may not go naked and people see him exposed.)
16 And he shall gather them together into a place, which in Hebrew is called Armagedon.	16 They then assembled the kings in the place that is named Armageddon in Hebrew.
17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial upon the air, and there came a great voice out of the temple from the throne, saying: It is done.	17 The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air. A loud voice came out of the temple from the throne, saying, "It is done."
18 And there were lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and there was a great earthquake, such an one as never had been since men were upon the earth, such an earthquake, so great.	18 Then there were lightning flashes, rumblings, and peals of thunder, and a great earthquake. It was such a violent earthquake that there has never been one like it since the human race began on earth.
19 And the great city was divided into three parts; and the cities of the Gentiles fell. And great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the indignation of his wrath.	19 The great city was split into three parts, and the gentile cities fell. But God remembered great Babylon, giving it the cup filled with the wine of his fury and wrath.
20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.	20 Every island fled, and mountains disappeared.
21 And great hail, like a talent, came down from heaven upon men: and men blasphemed God for the plague of the hail: because it was exceeding great.	21 Large hailstones like huge weights came down from the sky on people, and they blasphemed God for the plague of hail because this plague was so severe.
