Apocalisse 17

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Et venit unus de septem angelis, qui habebant septem phialas, et locutusest mecum dicens: “ Veni, ostendam tibi damnationem meretricis magnae, quaesedet super aquas multas,	1 And there came one of the seven angels, who had the seven vials, and spoke with me, saying: Come, I will shew thee the condemnation of the great harlot, who sitteth upon many waters,
2 cum qua fornicati sunt reges terrae, et inebriatisunt, qui inhabitant terram, de vino prostitutionis eius ”.	2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication; and they who inhabit the earth, have been made drunk with the whine of her whoredom.
3 Et abstulit mein desertum in spiritu. Et vidi mulierem sedentem super bestiam coccineam,plenam nominibus blasphemiae, habentem capita septem et cornua decem.	3 And he took me away in spirit into the desert. And I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 Etmulier erat circumdata purpura et coccino, et inaurata auro et lapide pretiosoet margaritis, habens poculum aureum in manu sua plenum abominationibus etimmunditiis fornicationis eius;	4 And the woman was clothed round about with purple and scarlet, and gilt with gold, and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand, full of the abomination and filthiness of her fornication.
5 et in fronte eius nomen scriptum, mysterium:“ Babylon magna, mater fornicationum et abominationum terrae ”.	5 And on her forehead a name was written: A mystery; Babylon the great, the mother of the fornications, and the abominations of the earth.
6 Et vidi mulierem ebriam de sanguine sanctorum et de sanguine martyrum Iesu. Etmiratus sum, cum vidissem illam, admiratione magna.	6 And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And I wondered, when I had seen her, with great admiration.
7 Et dixit mihi angelus. “Quare miraris? Ego tibi dicam mysterium mulieris et bestiae, quae portat eam,quae habet capita septem et decem cornua:	7 And the angel said to me: Why dost thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast which carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
8 bestia, quam vidisti, fuit et nonest, et ascensura est de abysso et in interitum ibit. Et mirabuntur inhabitantesterram, quorum non sunt scripta nomina in libro vitae a constitutione mundi,videntes bestiam, quia erat et non est et aderit.	8 The beast, which thou sawest, was, and is not, and shall come up out of the bottomless pit, and go into destruction: and the inhabitants on the earth (whose names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world) shall wonder, seeing the beast that was, and is not.
9 Hic est sensus, qui habetsapientiam. Septem capita, septem montes sunt, super quos mulier sedet. Et regesseptem sunt:	9 And here is the understanding that hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, upon which the woman sitteth, and they are seven kings:
10 quinque ceciderunt, unus est, alius nondum venit; et, cumvenerit, oportet illum breve tempus manere.	10 Five are fallen, one is, and the other is not yet come: and when he is come, he must remain a short time.
11 Et bestia, quae erat et non est,et is octavus est et de septem est et in interitum vadit.	11 And the beast which was, and is not: the same also is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into destruction.
12 Et decem cornua,quae vidisti, decem reges sunt, qui regnum nondum acceperunt, sed potestatemtamquam reges una hora accipiunt cum bestia.	12 And the ten horns which thou sawest, are ten kings, who have not yet received a kingdom, but shall receive power as kings one hour after the beast.
13 Hi unum consilium habent etvirtutem et potestatem suam bestiae tradunt.	13 These have one design: and their strength and power they shall deliver to the beast.
14 Hi cum Agno pugnabunt; et Agnusvincet illos, quoniam Dominus dominorum est et Rex regum, et qui cum illo suntvocati et electi et fideles ”.	14 These shall fight with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them, because he is Lord of lords, and King of kings, and they that are with him are called, and elect, and faithful.
15 Et dicit mihi: “ Aquae, quas vidisti, ubi meretrix sedet, populi et turbaesunt et gentes et linguae.	15 And he said to me: The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples, and nations, and tongues.
16 Et decem cornua, quae vidisti, et bestia, hiodient fornicariam et desolatam facient illam et nudam, et carnes eiusmanducabunt et ipsam igne concremabunt;	16 And the ten horns which thou sawest in the beast: these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her with fire.
17 Deus enim dedit in corda eorum, utfaciant, quod illi placitum est, et faciant unum consilium et dent regnum suumbestiae, donec consummentur verba Dei.	17 For God hath given into their hearts to do that which pleaseth him: that they give their kingdom to the beast, till the words of God be fulfilled.
18 Et mulier, quam vidisti, est civitasmagna, quae habet regnum super reges terrae ”.	18 And the woman which thou sawest, is the great city, which hath kingdom over the kings of the earth.
