Apocalypsis 7
1 Post hæc vidi quattuor Angelos stantes super quattuor angulos terræ, tenentes quattuor ventos terræ ne flarent super terram, neque super mare, neque in ullam arborem.
After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth, or on the sea, or on any tree.
2 Et vidi alterum Angelum ascendentem ab ortu solis, habentem signum Dei vivi: et clamavit voce magna quattuor Angelis, quibus datum est nocere terræ, et mari,
I saw another angel ascend from the sunrise, having the seal of the living God. He cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was given to harm the earth and the sea,
3 dicens: Nolite nocere terræ, et mari, neque arboribus, quoadusque signemus servos Dei nostri in frontibus eorum.
saying, “Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees, until we have sealed the bondservants of our God on their foreheads!”
4 Et audivi numerum signatorum, centum quadraginta quattuor millia signati, ex omni tribu filiorum Israel.
I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel:
5 Ex tribu Iuda duodecim millia signati: Ex tribu Ruben duodecim millia signati: Ex tribu Gad duodecim millia signati:
of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed, of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand, of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand,
6 Ex tribu Aser duodecim millia signati: Ex tribu Nephthali duodecim millia signati: Ex tribu Manasse duodecim millia signati:
of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand, of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand,
7 Ex tribu Simeon duodecim millia signati: Ex tribu Levi duodecim millia signati: Ex tribu Issachar duodecim millia signati:
of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand,
8 Ex tribu Zabulon duodecim millia signati: Ex tribu Ioseph duodecim millia signati: Ex tribu Beniamin duodecim millia signati.
of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand, of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, and of the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed.
9 Post hæc vidi turbam magnam, quam dinumerare nemo poterat ex omnibus gentibus, et tribubus, et populis, et linguis: stantes ante thronum, et in conspectu Agni, amicti stolis albis, et palmæ in manibus eorum:
After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no man could count, out of every nation and of all tribes, peoples, and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.
10 et clamabant voce magna, dicentes: Salus Deo nostro, qui sedet super thronum, et Agno.
They cried with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation be to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”
11 Et omnes Angeli stabant in circuitu throni, et seniorum, et quattuor animalium: et ceciderunt in conspectu throni in facies suas, et adoraverunt Deum,
All the angels were standing around the throne, the elders, and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before his throne, and worshiped God,
13 Et respondit unus de senioribus, et dixit mihi: Hi, qui amicti sunt stolis albis, qui sunt? et unde venerunt?
One of the elders answered, saying to me, “These who are arrayed in the white robes, who are they, and where did they come from?”
14 Et dixi illi: Domine mi, tu scis. Et dixit mihi: Hi sunt, qui venerunt de tribulatione magna, et laverunt stolas suas, et dealbaverunt eas in sanguine Agni.
I told him, “My lord, you know.” He said to me, “These are those who came out of the great suffering. They washed their robes and made them white in the Lamb’s blood.
15 Ideo sunt ante thronum Dei, et serviunt ei die ac nocte in templo eius: et qui sedet in throno, habitabit super illos:
Therefore they are before the throne of God, and they serve him day and night in his temple. He who sits on the throne will spread his tabernacle over them.
16 non esurient, neque sitient amplius, nec cadet super illos sol, neque ullus æstus:
They will never be hungry or thirsty any more. The sun will not beat on them, nor any heat;
17 quoniam Agnus, qui in medio throni est, reget illos, et deducet eos ad vitæ fontes aquarum, et absterget Deus omnem lacrymam ab oculis eorum.
for the Lamb who is in the middle of the throne shepherds them and leads them to springs of life-giving waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
