Apocalypsis 18
1 Et post haec vidi alium Angelum descendentem de caelo, habentem potestatem magnam: et terra illuminata est a gloria eius.
After these things I saw another angel coming down out of the heaven, having great authority; and the earth was lighted with his glory.
2 Et exclamavit in fortitudine, dicens: Cecidit, cecidit Babylon magna: et facta est habitatio daemoniorum, et custodia omnis spiritus immundi, et custodia omnis volucris immundae, et odibilis:
And he cried with a strong voice, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and has become the habitation of demons, and the hold of every unclean spirit, and the den of every unclean and hateful bird;
3 quia de vino irae fornicationis eius biberunt omnes gentes: et reges terrae cum illa fornicati sunt: et mercatores terrae de virtute deliciarum eius divites facti sunt.
because all nations have fallen of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich from the costliness of her delicacy.
4 Et audivi aliam vocem de caelo, dicentem: Exite de illa populus meus: ut ne participes sitis delictorum eius, et de plagis eius non accipiatis.
And I heard another voice out of the heaven, saying, Come out from her, my people, in order that you may not partake of her sins, and in order that you may not receive of her plagues;
5 Quoniam pervenerunt peccata eius usque ad caelum, et recordatus est Dominus iniquitatum eius.
because her sins have mounted up to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.
6 Reddite illi sicut et ipsa reddidit vobis: et duplicate duplicia secundum opera eius: in poculo, quo miscuit vobis, miscete illi duplum.
Give unto her as indeed she has given, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she mixed, mix unto her double:
7 Quantum glorificavit se, et in deliciis fuit, tantum date illi tormentum et luctum: quia in corde suo dicit: Sedeo regina: et vidua non sum: et luctum non videbo.
as to so many things as she has glorified herself, and lived wantonly, give unto her so much torment and sorrow. Because she says in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow; and I see no sorrow;
8 Ideo in una die venient plagae eius, mors, et luctus, et fames, et igne comburetur: quia fortis est Deus, qui iudicabit illam.
therefore in one day shall her plagues come, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burnt up with fire: because God, the one judging her, is a mighty Lord.
9 Et flebunt, et plangent se super illam reges terrae, qui cum illa fornicati sunt, et in deliciis vixerunt, cum viderint fumum incendii eius:
And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication with her, and lived wantonly, will weep and wail over her, when they may see the smoke of her burning,
10 longe stantes propter timorem tormentorum eius, dicentes: Vae, vae civitas illa magna Babylon, civitas illa fortis: quoniam una hora venit iudicium tuum.
and standing afar off on account of the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, the great city, the strong city, Babylon! because in one hour thy judgment came.
11 Et negotiatores terrae flebunt, et lugebunt super illam: quoniam merces eorum nemo emet amplius:
And the merchants of the earth are weeping and mourning over her; because no one any longer buys their merchandise:
12 merces auri, et argenti, et lapidis pretiosi, et margaritae, et byssi, et purpurae, et serici, et cocci, (et omne lignum thyinum, et omnia vasa eboris, et omnia vasa de lapide pretioso, et aeramento, et ferro, et marmore,
their merchandise of gold, and of silver, and of precious stones, and of pearls, and of fine linen; and of purple, and of silk, and of scarlet, and all thyine wood, and every vessel of ivory, and every vessel of most valuable wood, and of brass, and of iron, and of marble;
13 et cinnamomum) et amomum et odoramentorum, et unguenti, et turis, et vini, et olei, et similae, et tritici, et iumentorum, et ovium, et equorum, et rhedarum, et mancipiorum, et animarum hominum.
and cinnamon, and amomum, and incense, and myrrh, and libation, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and cattle, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and bodies and souls of men;
14 Et poma desiderii animae tuae discesserunt a te, et omnia pinguia, et praeclara perierunt a te, et amplius illa iam non invenient.
and the fruit of thy soul's inordinate desire has departed from thee; and all things bright and shining have perished from thee, and they will no longer find them.
15 Mercatores horum, qui divites facti sunt, ab ea longe stabunt propter timorem tormentorum eius, flentes, ac lugentes,
The merchants of these things, who have grown rich from her, will stand a long way off on account of the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning;
16 et dicentes: Vae, vae civitas illa magna, quae amicta erat bysso, et purpura, et cocco, et deaurata erat auro, et lapide pretioso, et margaritis:
saying, Alas, alas, the great city, clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and gilded with gold, and precious stone, and pearl! because in one hour so great riches have come to desolation.
17 quoniam una hora destitutae sunt tantae divitiae, et omnis gubernator, et omnis, qui in lacum navigat, et nautae, et qui in mari operantur, longe steterunt,
And every pilot, and every one sailing to the place, both the sailors and so many as traverse the sea, stood a long way off,
18 et clamaverunt videntes locum incendii eius, dicentes: Quae similis civitati huic magnae?
and they continued to cry seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, Who is like unto the great city?
19 Et miserunt pulverem super capita sua, et clamaverunt flentes, et lugentes, dicentes: Vae, vae civitas illa magna, in qua divites facti sunt omnes, qui habebant naves in mari de pretiis eius: quoniam una hora desolata est.
And they continued to cast dust upon their heads, and cry, weeping and mourning, saying, Alas, alas, the great city, in which all those having ships in the sea became rich from her costliness! that in one hour she is made desolate.
20 Exulta super eam caelum, et sancti Apostoli, et Prophetae: quoniam iudicavit Deus iudicium vestrum de illa.
Rejoice over her, O heaven, and the saints, and the apostles, and the prophets; because God has judged your judgment from her.
21 Et sustulit unus Angelus fortis lapidem quasi molarem magnum, et misit in mare, dicens: Hoc impetu mittetur Babylon civitas illa magna, et ultra iam non invenietur.
And one strong angel lifted up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with a mighty fall shall Babylon the great city, be cast down, and can be found no more.
22 Et vox citharoedorum, et musicorum, et tibia canentium, et tuba non audietur in te amplius: et omnis artifex omnis artis non invenietur in te amplius: et vox molae non audietur in te amplius:
And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and flute-players, and trumpeters, shall no more be heard in thee; and every artificer of every art shall no more be found in thee; and the sound of the mill shall no longer be heard in thee;
23 et lux lucernae non lucebit in te amplius: et vox sponsi, et sponsae non audietur adhuc in te: quia mercatores tui erant principes terrae, quia in veneficiis tuis erraverunt omnes gentes.
and the light of a candle shall no more shine in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and the bride shall no longer be heard in thee: because thy merchants were the great men of the earth; because by thy sorcery all nations were deceived,
24 Et in ea sanguis prophetarum et sanctorum inventus est: et omnium, qui interfecti sunt in terra.
truly in her is found the blood of prophets, and saints, and all those who have been slain upon the earth.
