NOVA VULGATAKING JAMES BIBLE
1 Et vidi, cum aperuisset Agnus unum de septem sigillis, et audi vi unum dequattuor animalibus dicens tamquam voce tonitrui: “ Veni ”.1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
2 Et vidi: etecce equus albus; et, qui sedebat super illum, habebat arcum, et data est eicorona, et exivit vincens et ut vinceret.
2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
3 Et cum aperuisset sigillum secundum, audivi secundum animal dicens: “ Veni”.3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
4 Et exivit alius equus rufus; et, qui sedebat super illum, datum est ei,ut sumeret pacem de terra, et ut invicem se interficiant; et datus est illigladius magnus.
4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
5 Et cum aperuisset sigillum tertium, audivi tertium animal dicens: “ Veni ”.Et vidi: et ecce equus niger; et, qui sedebat super eum, habebat stateram inmanu sua.5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6 Et audivi tamquam vocem in medio quattuor animalium dicentem: “Bilibris tritici denario, et tres bilibres hordei denario; et oleum et vinum nelaeseris ”.
6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
7 Et cum aperuisset sigillum quartum, audivi vocem quarti animalis dicentis: “Veni ”.7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8 Et vidi: et ecce equus pallidus; et, qui sedebat desuper, nomen illiMors, et Infernus sequebatur eum; et data est illis potestas super quartampartem terrae interficere gladio et fame et morte et a bestiis terrae.
8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
9 Et cum aperuisset quintum sigillum, vidi subtus altare animas interfectorumpropter verbum Dei et propter testimonium, quod habebant.9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 Et clamaverunt vocemagna dicentes: “ Usquequo, Domine, sanctus et verus, non iudicas et vindicassanguinem nostrum de his, qui habitant in terra? ”.
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 Et datae sunt illis singulae stolae albae; et dictum est illis, utrequiescant tempus adhuc modicum, donec impleantur et conservi eorum et fratreseorum, qui interficiendi sunt sicut et illi.
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
12 Et vidi, cum aperuisset sigillum sextum, et terraemotus factus est magnus, etsol factus est niger tamquam saccus cilicinus, et luna tota facta est sicutsanguis,12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13 et stellae caeli ceciderunt in terram, sicut ficus mittit grossossuos, cum vento magno movetur,13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14 et caelum recessit sicut liber involutus, etomnis mons et insula de locis suis motae sunt.14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15 Et reges terrae et magnates ettribuni et divites et fortes et omnis servus et liber absconderunt se inspeluncis et in petris montium;15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 et dicunt montibus et petris: “ Caditesuper nos et abscondite nos a facie sedentis super thronum et ab ira Agni,16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 quoniam venit dies magnus irae ipsorum, et quis poterit stare? ”.
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
