Apocalypsis 11

1 Et datus est mihi calamus similis virgae, et dictum est mihi: Surge, et metire templum Dei, et altare, et adorantes in eo.

Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, and count the number of worshipers there.

2 atrium autem, quod est infra templum, eiice foras, et ne metiaris illud: quoniam datum est Gentibus, et civitatem sanctam calcabunt mensibus quadraginta duobus:

But exclude the courtyard outside the temple. Do not measure it, because it has been given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for 42 months.

3 et dabo duobus testibus meis, et prophetabunt diebus mille ducentis sexaginta, amicti saccis.

And I will empower my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.”

4 Hi sunt duae olivae, et duo candelabra in conspectu Domini terrae stantia.

These witnesses are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.

5 Et si quis voluerit eos nocere, ignis exiet de ore eorum, et devorabit inimicos eorum: et si quis voluerit eos laedere, sic oportet eum occidi.

If anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouths and devours their enemies. In this way, anyone who wants to harm them must be killed.

6 Hi habent potestatem claudendi caelum, ne pluat diebus prophetiae ipsorum: et potestatem habent super aquas convertendi eas in sanguinem, et percutere terram omni plaga quotiescumque voluerint.

These witnesses have power to shut the sky so that no rain will fall during the days of their prophecy, and power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they wish.

7 Et cum finierint testimonium suum, bestia, quae ascendit de abysso, faciet adversum eos bellum, et vincet illos, et occidet eos. (Abyssos g12)

When the two witnesses have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will wage war with them, and will overpower and kill them. (Abyssos g12)

8 Et corpora eorum iacebunt in plateis civitatis magnae, quae vocatur spiritualiter Sodoma, et Aegyptus, ubi et Dominus eorum crucifixus est.

Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city—figuratively called Sodom and Egypt—where their Lord was also crucified.

9 Et videbunt de tribubus, et populis, et linguis, et Gentibus corpora eorum per tres dies, et dimidium: et corpora eorum non sinent poni in monumentis.

For three and a half days all peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will view their bodies and will not permit them to be laid in a tomb.

10 et inhabitantes terram gaudebunt super illos, et iucundabuntur: et munera mittent invicem, quoniam hi duo prophetae cruciaverunt eos, qui habitabant super terram.

And those who dwell on the earth will gloat over them, and will celebrate and send one another gifts, because these two prophets had tormented them.

11 Et post dies tres, et dimidium, spiritus vitae a Deo intravit in eos. Et steterunt super pedes suos, et timor magnus cecidit super eos, qui viderunt eos.

But after the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered the two witnesses, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell upon those who saw them.

12 Et audierunt vocem magnam de caelo, dicentem eis: Ascendite huc. Et ascenderunt in caelum in nube: et viderunt illos inimici eorum.

And the witnesses heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Come up here.” And they went up to heaven in a cloud as their enemies watched them.

13 Et in illa hora factus est terraemotus magnus, et decima pars civitatis cecidit: et occisa sunt in terraemotu nomina hominum septem millia: et reliqui in timorem sunt missi, et dederunt gloriam Deo caeli.

And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand were killed in the quake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.

14 Vae secundum abiit: et ecce vae tertium veniet cito.

The second woe has passed. Behold, the third woe is coming shortly.

15 Et septimus angelus tuba cecinit: et factae sunt voces magnae in caelo dicentes: Factum est regnum huius mundi, Domini nostri et Christi eius, et regnabit in saecula saeculorum: Amen. (aiōn g165)

Then the seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and loud voices called out in heaven: “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign forever and ever.” (aiōn g165)

16 Et viginti quattuor seniores, qui in conspectu Dei sedent in sedibus suis, ceciderunt in facies suas, et adoraverunt Deum, dicentes:

And the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God,

17 Gratias agimus tibi Domine Deus noster omnipotens, qui es, et qui eras, et qui venturus es: quia accepisti virtutem tuam magnam, et regnasti.

saying: “We give thanks to You, O Lord God Almighty, the One who is and who was, because You have taken Your great power and have begun to reign.

18 Et iratae sunt Gentes, et advenit ira tua, et tempus mortuorum iudicari, et reddere mercedem servis tuis Prophetis, et sanctis, et timentibus nomen tuum pusillis, et magnis, et exterminandi eos, qui corruperunt terram.

The nations were enraged, and Your wrath has come. The time has come to judge the dead and to reward Your servants the prophets, as well as the saints and those who fear Your name, both small and great— and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”

19 Et apertum est templum Dei in caelo: et visa est arca testamenti eius in templo eius, et facta sunt fulgura, et voces, et tonitrua, et terraemotus, et grando magna.

Then the temple of God in heaven was opened, and the ark of His covenant appeared in His temple. And there were flashes of lightning, and rumblings, and peals of thunder, and an earthquake, and a great hailstorm.
