VULGATAKING JAMES BIBLE
1 Apocalypsis Jesu Christi, quam dedit illi Deus palam facere servis suis, quæ oportet fieri cito : et significavit, mittens per angelum suum servo suo Joanni,1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
2 qui testimonium perhibuit verbo Dei, et testimonium Jesu Christi, quæcumque vidit.2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
3 Beatus qui legit, et audit verba prophetiæ hujus, et servat ea, quæ in ea scripta sunt : tempus enim prope est.
3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
4 Joannes septem ecclesiis, quæ sunt in Asia. Gratia vobis, et pax ab eo, qui est, et qui erat, et qui venturus est : et a septem spiritibus qui in conspectu throni ejus sunt :4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
5 et a Jesu Christo, qui est testis fidelis, primogenitus mortuorum, et princeps regum terræ, qui dilexit nos, et lavit nos a peccatis nostris in sanguine suo,5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
6 et fecit nos regnum, et sacerdotes Deo et Patri suo : ipsi gloria et imperium in sæcula sæculorum. Amen.6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
7 Ecce venit cum nubibus, et videbit eum omnis oculus, et qui eum pupugerunt. Et plangent se super eum omnes tribus terræ. Etiam : amen.7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
8 Ego sum alpha et omega, principium et finis, dicit Dominus Deus : qui est, et qui erat, et qui venturus est, omnipotens.
8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
9 Ego Joannes frater vester, et particeps in tribulatione, et regno, et patientia in Christo Jesu : fui in insula, quæ appellatur Patmos, propter verbum Dei, et testimonium Jesu :9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
10 fui in spiritu in Dominica die, et audivi post me vocem magnam tamquam tubæ,10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
11 dicentis : Quod vides, scribe in libro : et mitte septem ecclesiis, quæ sunt in Asia, Epheso, et Smyrnæ, et Pergamo, et Thyatiræ, et Sardis, et Philadelphiæ, et Laodiciæ.11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
12 Et conversus sum ut viderem vocem, quæ loquebatur mecum : et conversus vidi septem candelabra aurea :12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
13 et in medio septem candelabrorum aureorum, similem Filio hominis vestitum podere, et præcinctum ad mamillas zona aurea :13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
14 caput autem ejus, et capilli erant candidi tamquam lana alba, et tamquam nix, et oculi ejus tamquam flamma ignis :14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
15 et pedes ejus similes auricalco, sicut in camino ardenti, et vox illius tamquam vox aquarum multarum :15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
16 et habebat in dextera sua stellas septem : et de ore ejus gladius utraque parte acutus exibat : et facies ejus sicut sol lucet in virtute sua.16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
17 Et cum vidissem eum, cecidi ad pedes ejus tamquam mortuus. Et posuit dexteram suam super me, dicens : Noli timere : ego sum primus, et novissimus,17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
18 et vivus, et fui mortuus, et ecce sum vivens in sæcula sæculorum : et habeo claves mortis, et inferni.18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
19 Scribe ergo quæ vidisti, et quæ sunt, et quæ oportet fieri post hæc.19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;
20 Sacramentum septem stellarum, quas vidisti in dextera mea, et septem candelabra aurea : septem stellæ, angeli sunt septem ecclesiarum : et candelabra septem, septem ecclesiæ sunt.20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.
