2 Et vidi septem angelos, qui stant in conspectu Dei, et datae suntillis septem tubae.2 And I saw seven Angels standing in the sight of God. And seven trumpets were given to them.
3 Et alius angelus venit et stetit ante altare habensturibulum aureum, et data sunt illi incensa multa, ut daret orationibussanctorum omnium super altare aureum, quod est ante thronum.3 And another Angel approached, and he stood before the altar, holding a golden censer. And much incense was given to him, so that he might offer upon the golden altar, which is before the throne of God, the prayers of all the saints.
4 Et ascendit fumusincensorum de orationibus sanctorum de manu angeli coram Deo.4 And the smoke of the incense of the prayers of the saints ascended, in the presence of God, from the hand of the Angel.
5 Et accepitangelus turibulum et implevit illud de igne altaris et misit in terram; et factasunt tonitrua et voces et fulgura et terraemotus.
5 And the Angel received the golden censer, and he filled it from the fire of the altar, and he cast it down upon the earth, and there were thunders and voices and lightnings and a great earthquake.
6 Et septem angeli, qui habebant septem tubas, paraverunt se, ut tuba canerent.
6 And the seven Angels who hold the seven trumpets prepared themselves, in order to sound the trumpet.
7 Et primus tuba cecinit. Et facta est grando et ignis mixta in sanguine, etmissum est in terram: et tertia pars terrae combusta est, et tertia pars arborumcombusta est, et omne fenum viride combustum est.
7 And the first Angel sounded the trumpet. And there came hail and fire, mixed with blood; and it was cast down upon the earth. And a third part of the earth was burned, and a third part of the trees was entirely burned up, and all the green plants were burned.
8 Et secundus angelus tuba cecinit. Et tamquam mons magnus igne ardens missusest in mare: et facta est tertia pars maris sanguis,8 And the second Angel sounded the trumpet. And something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was cast down into the sea. And a third part of the sea became like blood.
9 et mortua est tertia parscreaturarum, quae in mari sunt, quae habent animas, et tertia pars naviuminteriit.
9 And a third part of the creatures that were living in the sea died. And a third part of the ships were destroyed.
10 Et tertius angelus tuba cecinit. Et cecidit de caelo stella magna ardenstamquam facula et cecidit super tertiam partem fluminum et super fontes aquarum.10 And the third Angel sounded the trumpet. And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch. And it fell upon a third part of the rivers and upon the sources of water.
11 Et nomen stellae dicitur Absinthius. Et facta est tertia pars aquarum inabsinthium, et multi hominum mortui sunt de aquis, quia amarae factae sunt.
11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood. And a third part of the waters were turned into wormwood. And many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter.
12 Et quartus angelus tuba cecinit. Et percussa est tertia pars solis et tertiapars lunae et tertia pars stellarum, ut obscuraretur tertia pars eorum, et dieinon luceret pars tertia, et nox similiter.
12 And the fourth Angel sounded the trumpet. And a third part of the sun, and a third part of the moon, and a third part of the stars were struck, in such a way that a third part of them was obscured. And a third part of the day did not shine, and similarly the night.
13 Et vidi et audivi unam aquilam volantem per medium caelum dicentem vocemagna: “ Vae, vae, vae habitantibus in terra de ceteris vocibus tubae triumangelorum, qui tuba canituri sunt!”.
13 And I saw, and I heard the voice of a lone eagle flying through the midst of heaven, calling with a great voice: “Woe, Woe, Woe, to the inhabitants of the earth, from the remaining voices of the three Angels, who will soon sound the trumpet!”
