Apocalypsis 8
1 Et cum aperuisset sigillum septimum, factum est silentium in caelo, quasi media hora.
And when he openeth the seventh seal, there came silence in the heaven about half-an-hour,
2 Et vidi septem Angelos stantes in conspectu Dei: et datae sunt illis septem tubae.
and I saw the seven messengers who before God have stood, and there were given to them seven trumpets,
3 Et alius Angelus venit, et stetit ante altare habens turibulum aureum: et data sunt illi incensa multa, ut daret de orationibus sanctorum omnium super altare aureum, quod est ante thronum Dei.
and another messenger did come, and he stood at the altar, having a golden censer, and there was given to him much perfume, that he may give [it] to the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar that [is] before the throne,
4 Et ascendit fumus incensorum de orationibus sanctorum de manu Angeli coram Deo.
and go up did the smoke of the perfumes to the prayers of the saints out of the hand of the messenger, before God;
5 Et accepit Angelus turibulum aureum, et implevit illud de igne altaris, et misit in terram, et facta sunt tonitrua, et voces, et fulgura, et terraemotus magnus.
and the messenger took the censer, and did fill it out of the fire of the altar, and did cast [it] to the earth, and there came voices, and thunders, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
6 Et septem Angeli, qui habebant septem tubas, praeparaverunt se ut tuba canerent.
And the seven messengers who are having the seven trumpets did prepare themselves that they may sound;
7 Et primus Angelus tuba cecinit, et facta est grando, et ignis, mista in sanguine, et missum est in terram, et tertia pars terrae combusta est, et tertia pars arborum concremata est, et omne foenum viride combustum est.
and the first messenger did sound, and there came hail and fire, mingled with blood, and it was cast to the land, and the third of the trees was burnt up, and all the green grass was burnt up.
8 Et secundus Angelus tuba cecinit: et tamquam mons magnus igne ardens missus est in mare, et facta est tertia pars maris sanguis,
And the second messenger did sound, and as it were a great mountain with fire burning was cast into the sea, and the third of the sea became blood,
9 et mortua est tertia pars creaturae eorum, quae habebant animas in mari, et tertia pars navium interiit.
and die did the third of the creatures that [are] in the sea, those having life, and the third of the ships were destroyed.
10 Et tertius Angelus tuba cecinit: et cecidit de caelo stella magna, ardens tamquam facula, et cecidit in tertiam partem fluminum, et in fontes aquarum:
And the third messenger did sound, and there fell out of the heaven a great star, burning as a lamp, and it did fall upon the third of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters,
11 et nomen stellae dicitur Absinthium; et facta est tertia pars aquarum in absinthium: et multi hominum mortui sunt de aquis, quia amarae factae sunt.
and the name of the star is called Wormwood, and the third of the waters doth become wormwood, and many of the men did die of the waters, because they were made bitter.
12 Et quartus Angelus tuba cecinit: et percussa est tertia pars solis, et tertia pars lunae, et tertia pars stellarum, ita ut obscuraretur tertia pars eorum, et diei non luceret pars tertia, et noctis similiter.
And the fourth messenger did sound, and smitten was the third of the sun, and the third of the moon, and the third of the stars, that darkened may be the third of them, and that the day may not shine — the third of it, and the night in like manner.
13 Et vidi, et audivi vocem unius aquilae volantis per medium caeli, dicentis voce magna: Vae, vae, vae habitantibus in terra de ceteris vocibus trium Angelorum, qui erant tuba canituri.
And I saw, and I heard one messenger, flying in the mid-heaven, saying with a great voice, 'Woe, woe, woe, to those dwelling upon the land from the rest of the voices of the trumpet of the three messengers who are about to sound.'
