He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast. For it is the number of a man: and the number of him is six hundred sixty six.

And I looked, and behold a Lamb stood forty-four thousand having his name, and

upon mount Sion, and with him an hundred

Et audivi vocem de cœlo, 2 heads. And I heard a voice from heaven, tamquam vocem aquarum multarum, et tamquam as the voice of many waters, and as the voice vocem tonitrui magni: et vocem, quam audivi, sicut of great thunder: and the voice which I citharoedorum citharizantium in citharis suis. heard, as of harpers harping on their harps. 3 And they sang as it were a new song before cantabant quasi canticum novum ante sedem, et ante the seat, and before the four beasts, and the seniors, and no man could say the song, but quattuor animalia, et seniores: et nemo poterat dicere those hundred forty-four thousand, that were canticum, nisi illa centum quadragintaquattuor millia, bought from the earth. 4 These are they which were not defiled with women: for qui empti sunt de terra.

8 And another Angel followed, saying, the wine of the wrath of her fornication made all nations to drink.

And I saw another sign in heaven, great seven last plagues. Because in them the and marvellous: seven Angels having the wrath of God is consummate. And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire, image and the number of his name, standing

God: and singing the song of Moyses the

servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God omnipotent: just and true are thy ways, King of the worlds. Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and magnify thy name? because thou only art holy: because all nations shall come, and adore in thy sight, because thy judgments be manifest.

upon the sea of glass, having the harps of ejus, stantes super mare vitreum, habentes citharas Dei: et cantantes canticum Moysi servi Dei, et canticum 3 Agni, dicentes: Magna et mirabilia sunt opera tua, Domine Deus omnipotens: justæ et veræ sunt viæ tuæ, Rex sæculorum. Quis non timebit te, Domine, et 4 magnificabit nomen tuum? quia es solus pius: quoniam omnes gentes venient, et adorabunt in conspectu tuo, quoniam judicia tua manifesta sunt.

5 And after these things I looked, and behold the temple of the tabernacle of testimony was opened in heaven: and there

Et post hæc vidi, et ecce apertum est templum 5 issued forth the seven Angels, having the tabernaculi testimonii in cœlo: et exierunt septem 6 seven plagues, from the temple: revested with clean and white stone, and girded about Angeli habentes septem plagas de templo, vestiti lino the breasts with girdles of gold. And one mundo et candido, et præcincti circa pectora zonis of the four beasts, gave to the seven Angels seven vials of gold full of the wrath of the aureis. Et unum de quattuor animalibus dedit septem 7 God that liveth for ever and ever. And the Angelis septem phialas aureas, plenas iracundiæ Dei of God, and at his power: and no man could viventis in sæcula sæculorum.

temple was filled with smoke at the majesty

And I heard a great voice out of the temple, saying to the seven Angels: Go, and pour out the seven vials of the wrath of God

upon the earth. And the first went, and

poured out his vial upon the earth; and there was made a cruel and very sore wound upon

men that had the character of the beast: and upon them that adored the image thereof.

And the second Angel poured out his

vial upon the sea, and there was made blood as it were of one dead: and every living soul died in the sea.

And the third poured out his vial upon the rivers, and the fountains of waters: and there was made blood. 5 And I heard the

Et audivi vocem magnam de templo, dicentem 16 septem Angelis: Ite, et effundite septem phialas iræ Dei in terram. Et abiit primus, et effudit phialam 2 suam in terram, et factum est vulnus sævum et pessimum in homines, qui habebant characterem bestiæ, et in eos, qui adoraverunt imaginem ejus.

Et secundus Angelus effudit phialam suam in mare, 3 et factus est sanguis tamquam mortui: et omnis anima vivens mortua est in mari.

Et tertius effudit phialam suam super flumina, et 4 Angel of the waters, saying: Thou art just, super fontes aquarum, et factus est sanguis. Et audivi 5 O Lord, which art, and which wast, the holy one, because thou hast judged these things: Angelum aquarum dicentem: Justus es Domine, qui 6 because they have shed the blood of the es, et qui eras sanctus, qui hæc judicasti: quia san- 6 Saints and Prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy, guinem Sanctorum, et Prophetarum effuderunt, et san7 And I heard another, saying: Yea, Lord guinem eis dedisti bibere digni enim sunt.

ments.

8 And the fourth Angel poured out his vial

upon the sun; and it was given unto him to afflict men with heat and fire: 9and men

boiled with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God having power over these plagues, neither did they penance to give him glory.

10 And the fifth Angel poured out his vial

upon the seat of the beast: and his kingdom was made dark, and they together did eat

Et 7

Et quartus Angelus effudit phialam suam in solem, 8 et datum est illi æstu affligere homines, et igni: et 9 æstuaverunt homines æstu magno, et blasphemaverunt nomen Dei habentis potestatem super has plagas, neque egerunt pœnitentiam ut darent illi gloriam.

Et quintus Angelus effudit phialam suam super 10 their tongues for pain: and they blas- sedem bestia: et factum est regnum ejus tenebrosum, et phemed the God of heaven because of their commanducaverunt linguas suas præ dolore: et blas- I I pains and wounds, and did not penance from their works. phemaverunt Deum cœli præ doloribus, et vulneribus suis, et non egerunt pœnitentiam ex operibus suis.

12 And the sixth Angel poured out his vial

upon that great river Euphrates: and dried up the water thereof, that a way might be

prepared to the kings from the rising of the

sun.

Et sextus Angelus effudit phialam suam in flumen 12 illud magnum Euphraten: et siccavit aquam ejus, ut præpararetur via regibus ab ortu solis.

13

13 And I saw from the mouth of the dragon,

Et vidi de ore draconis, et de ore bestiæ, et de ore and from the mouth of the beast, and from pseudoprophetæ spiritus tres immundos in modum 14 ranarum. Sunt enim spiritus dæmoniorum facientes signa, et procedunt ad reges totius terræ congregare illos in prælium ad diem magnum omnipotentis Dei. 15 Ecce venio sicut fur. Beatus, qui vigilat, et custodit vestimenta sua, ne nudus ambulet, et videant turpi16 tudinem ejus. Et congregabit illos in locum, qui vocatur Hebraice Armagedon.

17

Et septimus Angelus effudit phialam suam in aerem, et exivit vox magna de templo a throno, dicens: 18 Factum est. Et facta sunt fulgura, et voces, et tonitrua, et terræmotus factus est magnus, qualis numquam fuit ex quo homines fuerunt super terram; talis terræ 19 motus, sic magnus. Et facta est civitas magna in tres partes: et civitates Gentium ceciderunt, et Babylon magna venit in memoriam ante Deum, dare illi calicem 20 vini indignationis iræ ejus. Et omnis insula fugit, et 21 montes non sunt inventi. Et grando magna sicut talentum descendit de cœlo in homines: et blasphemaverunt Deum homines propter plagam grandinis: quoniam magna facta est vehementer.

17

Et venit unus de septem Angelis, qui habebant septem phialas, et locutus est mecum, dicens: Veni ostendam tibi damnationem meretricis magnæ, quæ 2 sedet super aquas multas, cum qua fornicati sunt reges terræ, et inebriati sunt qui inhabitant terram de vino 3 prostitutionis ejus. Et abstulit me in spiritu in desertum. Et vidi mulierem sedentem super bestiam coccineam, plenam nominibus blasphemiæ, habentem capita septem, 4 et cornua decem. Et mulier erat circumdata purpura, et coccino, et inaurata auro, et lapide pretioso, et margaritis, habens poculum aureum in manu sua, plenum 5 abominatione, et immunditia fornicationis ejus. Et in fronte ejus nomen scriptum: Mysterium: Babylon magna, mater fornicationum et abominationum terræ. 6 Et vidi mulierem ebriam de sanguine sanctorum, et de sanguine martyrum Jesu. Et miratus sum cum 7 vidissem illam admiratione magna. Et dixit mihi Angelus: Quare miraris? Ego dicam tibi sacramentum mulieris, et bestiæ, quæ portat eam, quæ habet capita septem, et cornua decem.

the mouth of the false prophet three unclean spirits in manner of frogs. 14 For they are the spirits of Devils working signs, and they go forth to the kings of the whole earth to gather them into battle at the great day of the omnipotent God. 15 Behold I come as a thief: Blessed is he that watcheth, and naked, and they see his turpitude. 16 And he keepeth his garments, that he walk not shall gather them into a place which in

Hebrew is called Armagedon.

17 And the seventh Angel poured out his vial upon the air, and there came forth a loud voice out of the temple from the throne, saying: It is done. 18 And there were made lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and a great earthquake was made, such an one as never hath been since men were upon the earth, such an earthquake, so great. 19 And and the cities of the Gentiles fell. And the great city was made into three parts: Babylon the great came into memory before God, to give her the cup of wine of the indignation of his wrath. 20 And every Island fled, and mountains were not found. 21 And great hail like a talent came down from heaven upon men: and men blasphemed God for the plague of the hail: because it was made exceeding great.

And there came one of the seven Angels

away in spirit into the desert. And I saw a

which had the seven vials, and spake with
damnation of the great harlot, which sitteth
me, saying, Come, I will shew thee the

woman sitting upon a scarlet-coloured beast,
full of names
of blasphemy, having seven
heads, and ten horns. And the woman
was clothed round about with purple and
scarlet, and gilted with gold, and precious
stone, and pearls, having a golden cup in her
hand, full of the abomination and filthiness
of her fornication. And in her forehead a
name written, Mystery: Babylon the great,
mother of the fornications and the abomina-
tions of the earth. 6 And I saw the woman
drunken of the blood of the Saints, and of
the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And I
marvelled when I had seen her, with great
admiration. And the Angel said to me,
Why dost thou marvel? I will tell thee
the mystery of the woman, and of the beast
that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads
and the ten horns.

8 The beast which thou sawest, was, and is

not, and shall come up out of the bottomless depth, and go into destruction: and the inhabitants on the earth (whose names are not written in the book of life from the making of the world) shall marvel, seeing the beast that was, and is not.

And after these things I saw another Angel coming down from heaven, having great power: and the earth was illuminated
