font
VULGATANEW JERUSALEM
1 Et vidi aliud signum in cælo magnum et mirabile, angelos septem, habentes plagas septem novissimas : quoniam in illis consummata est ira Dei.1 And I saw in heaven another sign, great and wonderful: seven angels were bringing the seven plaguesthat are the last of al , because they exhaust the anger of God.
2 Et vidi tamquam mare vitreum mistum igne, et eos, qui vicerunt bestiam, et imaginem ejus, et numerum nominis ejus, stantes super mare vitreum, habentes citharas Dei :2 I seemed to be looking at a sea of crystal suffused with fire, and standing by the lake of glass, thosewho had fought against the beast and won, and against his statue and the number which is his name. They alhad harps from God,
3 et cantantes canticum Moysi servi Dei, et canticum Agni, dicentes : Magna et mirabilia sunt opera tua, Domine Deus omnipotens : justæ et veræ sunt viæ tuæ, Rex sæculorum.3 and they were singing the hymn of Moses, the servant of God, and the hymn of the Lamb: How greatand wonderful are al your works, Lord God Almighty; upright and true are al your ways, King of nations.
4 Quis non timebit te, Domine, et magnificabit nomen tuum ? quia solus pius es : quoniam omnes gentes venient, et adorabunt in conspectu tuo, quoniam judicia tua manifesta sunt.
4 Who does not revere and glorify your name, O Lord? For you alone are holy, and al nations will comeand adore you for the many acts of saving justice you have shown.
5 Et post hæc vidi : et ecce apertum est templum tabernaculi testimonii in cælo,5 After this, in my vision, the sanctuary, the tent of the Testimony, opened in heaven,
6 et exierunt septem angeli habentes septem plagas de templo, vestiti lino mundo et candido, et præcincti circa pectora zonis aureis.6 and out came the seven angels with the seven plagues, wearing pure white linen, fastened round theirwaists with belts of gold.
7 Et unum de quatuor animalibus dedit septem angelis septem phialas aureas, plenas iracundiæ Dei viventis in sæcula sæculorum.7 One of the four living creatures gave the seven angels seven golden bowls filled with the anger of Godwho lives for ever and ever.
8 Et impletum est templum fumo a majestate Dei, et de virtute ejus : et nemo poterat introire in templum, donec consummarentur septem plagæ septem angelorum.8 The smoke from the glory and the power of God fil ed the temple so that no one could go into it untilthe seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.
