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.
A reed like a rod was given to me. Someone said, “Rise and measure God’s temple, and the altar, and those who worship in it.
2 atrium autem, quod est infra templum, eiice foras, et ne metiaris illud: quoniam datum est Gentibus, et civitatem sanctam calcabunt mensibus quadraginta duobus:
Leave out the court which is outside of the temple, and don’t measure it, for it has been given to the nations. They will tread the holy city under foot for forty-two months.
3 et dabo duobus testibus meis, et prophetabunt diebus mille ducentis sexaginta, amicti saccis.
I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand and two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.”
4 Hi sunt duae olivae, et duo candelabra in conspectu Domini terrae stantia.
These are the two olive trees and the two lamp stands, standing 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 desires to harm them, fire proceeds out of their mouth and devours their enemies. If anyone desires to harm them, he must be killed in this way.
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 have the power to shut up the sky, that it may not rain during the days of their prophecy. They have power over the waters, to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.
7 Et cum finierint testimonium suum, bestia, quae ascendit de abysso, faciet adversum eos bellum, et vincet illos, et occidet eos. (Abyssos g12)
When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them, 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 dead bodies will be in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was 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.
From amongst the peoples, tribes, languages, and nations, people will look at their dead bodies for three and a half days, and will not allow their dead bodies 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.
Those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, and they will be glad. They will give gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.
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.
After the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood on their feet. Great fear fell on 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.
I heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here!” They went up into heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw 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.
In that day there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, 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 is past. Behold, the third woe comes quickly.
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)
The seventh angel sounded, and great voices in heaven followed, saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah. 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:
The twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones before God’s throne, fell on their faces and worshipped 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 you thanks, Lord God, the Almighty, the one who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and reigned.
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 angry, and your wrath came, as did the time for the dead to be judged, and to give your bondservants the prophets, their reward, as well as to the holy ones and those who fear your name, to the small and the 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.
God’s temple that is in heaven was opened, and the ark of the Lord’s covenant was seen in his temple. Lightnings, sounds, thunders, an earthquake, and great hail followed.
