Apocalypsis 8

1 Et cum aperuisset sigillum septimum, factum est silentium in caelo, quasi media hora.

And when he opened the seventh seal, there followed a silence in heaven, about the space of half an hour.

2 Et vidi septem Angelos stantes in conspectu Dei: et datae sunt illis septem tubae.

And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given them.

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 angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer, and a great quantity of incense was given him to mingle with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar, which was before the throne.

4 Et ascendit fumus incensorum de orationibus sanctorum de manu Angeli coram Deo.

And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose up from the hand of the angel into the presence of 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.

Then the angel took the censer, and he filled it with fire from the altar, and poured it upon the earth; and there followed thunders and voices and lightnings and an earthquake.

6 Et septem Angeli, qui habebant septem tubas, praeparaverunt se ut tuba canerent.

And the seven angels with the seven trumpets prepared to blow their trumpets.

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 angel blew his trumpet, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and it fell upon the earth; and the third part of the earth was burned up, and the third part of the trees, and all the green grass.

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 angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was hurled into the sea; and a third part of the sea became blood;

9 et mortua est tertia pars creaturae eorum, quae habebant animas in mari, et tertia pars navium interiit.

and a third part of the living creatures in the sea died, and the third part 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 angel blew his trumpet, and there fell from heaven a great star, blazing like a torch. It fell upon a third of the rivers and upon the springs. (The name of the star is called Wormwood.)

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.

A third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died 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 angel blew his trumpet, and the third part of the sun was blasted, and a third part of the moon, and a third part of the stars; so that the third part of them should be darkened, and for a third part of the day there was no light, and at night it was the same.

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 looked and I heard a solitary eagle flying in mid-heaven, and crying with a loud voice, "Woe, woe, woe for all who live on the earth, Because of the rest of the trumpet-blasts That the three angels are about to blow!"
