Apocalypsis 8
1 Et cum aperuisset sigillum septimum, factum est silentium in caelo, quasi media hora.
When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about 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 to 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.
Then another angel with a golden censer came and stood at the altar. He was given a large amount of incense to offer with the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar 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, ascended up to God from the hand of the angel.
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, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth, and there were peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.
6 Et septem Angeli, qui habebant septem tubas, praeparaverunt se ut tuba canerent.
Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to sound them.
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.
The first angel sounded his trumpet, and hail and fire, mixed with blood, were hurled down to the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.
8 Et secundus Angelus tuba cecinit: et tamquam mons magnus igne ardens missus est in mare, et facta est tertia pars maris sanguis,
The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a great burning mountain was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea became blood,
9 et mortua est tertia pars creaturae eorum, quae habebant animas in mari, et tertia pars navium interiit.
a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a 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:
The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch. It fell upon a third of the rivers and upon the springs of water.
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.
The name of the star is Wormwood, and a third of the waters became bitter like wormwood, and many people died from the water, because it had been 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.
The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night.
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.
Then I looked, and I heard an eagle saying with a loud voice as it flew directly overhead, “Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet from the three angels who are about to sound!”
