Revelation 17

1 And one of the seven angels, which had the seven bowls, came and spoke with me, saying, Come here, I will shew thee the sentence of the great harlot who sits upon the many waters;

Et venit unus de septem Angelis, qui habebant septem phialas, et locutus est mecum, dicens: Veni ostendam tibi damnationem meretricis magnæ, quæ sedet super aquas multas,

2 with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication; and they that dwell on the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

cum qua fornicati sunt reges terræ, et inebriati sunt qui inhabitant terram de vino prostitutionis eius.

3 And he carried me away in spirit to a desert; and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

Et abstulit me in spiritu in desertum. Et vidi mulierem sedentem super bestiam coccineam, plenam nominibus blasphemiæ, habentem capita septem, et cornua decem.

4 And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and had ornaments of gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and the unclean things of her fornication;

Et mulier erat circumdata purpura, et coccino, et inaurata auro, et lapide pretioso, et margaritis, habens poculum aureum in manu sua, plenum abominatione, et immunditia fornicationis eius:

5 and upon her forehead a name written, Mystery, great Babylon, the mother of the harlots, and of the abominations of the earth.

Et in fronte eius nomen scriptum: Mysterium: Babylon magna, mater fornicationum, et abominationum terræ.

6 And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And I wondered, seeing her, with great wonder.

Et vidi mulierem ebriam de sanguine sanctorum, et de sanguine martyrum Iesu. Et miratus sum cum vidissem illam admiratione magna.

7 And the angel said to me, Why hast thou wondered? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast which carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.

Et dixit mihi Angelus: Quare miraris? Ego dicam tibi sacramentum mulieris, et bestiæ, quæ portat eam, quæ habet capita septem, et cornua decem.

8 The beast which thou sawest was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss and go into destruction: and they who dwell on the earth, whose names are not written from the founding of the world in the book of life, shall wonder, seeing the beast, that it was, and is not, and shall be present. (Abyssos g12)

Bestia, quam vidisti, fuit, et non est, et ascensura est de abysso, et in interitum ibit: et mirabuntur inhabitantes terram (quorum non sunt scripta nomina in Libro vitæ a constitutione mundi) videntes bestiam, quæ erat, et non est. (Abyssos g12)

9 Here is the mind that has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains, whereon the woman sits.

Et hic est sensus, qui habet sapientiam. Septem capita: septem montes sunt, super quos mulier sedet, et reges septem sunt.

10 And there are seven kings: five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; and when he comes he must remain [only] a little while.

Quinque ceciderunt, unus est, et alius nondum venit: et cum venerit, oportet illum breve tempus manere.

11 And the beast that was and is not, he also is an eighth, and is of the seven, and goes into destruction.

Et bestia, quæ erat, et non est: et ipsa octava est: et de septem est, et in interitum vadit.

12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have not yet received a kingdom, but receive authority as kings one hour with the beast.

Et decem cornua, quæ vidisti, decem reges sunt: qui regnum nondum acceperunt, sed potestatem tamquam reges una hora accipient post bestiam.

13 These have one mind, and give their power and authority to the beast.

Hi unum consilium habent, et virtutem, et potestatem suam bestiæ tradent.

14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them; for he is Lord of lords and King of kings: and they [that are] with him called, and chosen, and faithful.

Hi cum Agno pugnabunt, et Agnus vincet illos: quoniam Dominus dominorum est, et Rex regum, et qui cum illo sunt, vocati, et electi, et fideles.

15 And he says to me, The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sits, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues.

Et dixit mihi: Aquæ, quas vidisti ubi meretrix sedet, populi sunt, et gentes, et linguæ.

16 And the ten horns which thou sawest, and 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;

Et decem cornua, quæ vidisti in bestia: hi odient fornicariam, et desolatam facient illam, et nudam, et carnes eius manducabunt, et ipsam igni concremabunt.

17 for God has given to their hearts to do his mind, and to act with one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

Deus enim dedit in corda eorum ut faciant quod placitum est illi: ut dent regnum suum bestiæ donec consummentur verba Dei.

18 And the woman which thou sawest is the great city, which has kingship over the kings of the earth.

Et mulier, quam vidisti, est civitas magna, quæ habet regnum super reges terræ.
