Apocalypsis Joannis

Angelo Ephesi ecclesiæ scribe: Hæc dicit, qui tenet septem stellas in dextera sua, qui ambulat in medio septem candelabrorum aureorum:

Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write: These things saith he who holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks:

Ad angelo de Epheso de ecclesia scribe: hoc dic, qui tene septeme stella in dextera suo, qui ambula in medio septeme de candelabro de aureos:

Scio opera tua, et laborem, et patientiam tuam, et quia non potes sustinere malos: et tentasti eos, qui se dicunt apostolos esse, et non sunt: et invenisti eos mendaces:

I know thy works and thy labour and thy patience and how thou canst not bear them that are evil. And thou hast tried them who say they are apostles and are not: and hast found them liars:

Sci operes tuo, et labore, et patientia tuo, et quia non pote sustine malo: et tenta illos, qui se dic apostolos es, et non es: et inveni illos mendaces:

et patientiam habes, et sustinuisti propter nomen meum, et non defecisti.

And thou hast patience and hast endured for my name and hast not fainted.

Et patientia habe, et sustine propter nomine meo, et non defice.

Sed habeo adversum te, quod caritatem tuam primam reliquisti.

But I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first charity.

Sed habe contra te, quod caritate tuo primo relinque.

Memor esto itaque unde excideris: et age pœnitentiam, et prima opera fac: sin autem, venio tibi, et movebo candelabrum tuum de loco suo, nisi pœnitentiam egeris.

Be mindful therefore from whence thou art fallen: and do penance and do the first works. Or else I come to thee and will move thy candlestick out of its place, except thou do penance.

Memore es itaque unde excide: et age poenitentia, et primo operes fac: sin autem, veni ad te, et move candelabro tuo de loco suo, nisi poenitentia age.

Sed hoc habes, quia odisti facta Nicolaitarum, quæ et ego odi.

But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaites, which I also hate.

Sed hoc habe, quia ode facto de Nicolaitas, que et me ode.

Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat ecclesiis: Vincenti dabo edere de ligno vitæ, quod est in paradiso Dei mei.

He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches: To him that overcometh I will give to eat of the tree of life which is in the paradise of my God.

Qui habe aure, audi Spiritu que dic quid ad ecclesias: ad vincento da ede de ligno de vita, quod es in paradiso de Deo meo.

Et angelo Smyrnæ ecclesiæ scribe: Hæc dicit primus, et novissimus, qui fuit mortuus, et vivit:

And to the angel of the church of Smyrna write: These things saith the First and the Last, who was dead and is alive:

Et ad angelo de Smyrna de ecclesia scribe: hoc dic primo, et novissimo, qui es morto, et vive:

Scio tribulationem tuam, et paupertatem tuam, sed dives es: et blasphemaris ab his, qui se dicunt Judæos esse, et non sunt, sed sunt synagoga Satanæ.

I know thy tribulation and thy poverty: but thou art rich. And thou art blasphemed by them that say they are Jews and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

Sci tribulatione tuo, et paupertate tuo, sed divite es: et blasphema ab hoc, qui dic se Iudaeos es, et non es, sed es synagoga de Satana.

Nihil horum timeas quæ passurus es. Ecce missurus est diabolus aliquos ex vobis in carcerem ut tentemini: et habebitis tribulationem diebus decem. Esto fidelis usque ad mortem, et dabo tibi coronam vitæ.

Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer. Behold, the devil will cast some of you into prison, that you may be tried: and you shall have tribulation ten days. Be thou faithful unto death: and I will give thee the crown of life.

Nihil de hoc time que pate es. Ecce mitte es diabolo aliquo ex vos in carcere ut tenta: et habe tribulatione dies deceme. Es fideli usque ad morte, et da ad te corona de vita.

Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat ecclesiis: Qui vicerit, non lædetur a morte secunda.

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches: He that shall overcome shall not be hurt by the second death.

Qui habe aure, audi Spiritu que dic quid ad ecclesias: qui vince, non laede ab morte secundo.

Et angelo Pergami ecclesiæ scribe: Hæc dicit qui habet rhomphæam utraque parte acutam:

And to the angel of the church of Pergamus write: These things saith he that hath the sharp two-edged sword:

Et ad angelo de Pergamo de ecclesia scribe: hoc dic qui habe rhomphaea ambo parte acuta:

Scio ubi habitas, ubi sedes est Satanæ: et tenes nomen meum, et non negasti fidem meam. Et in diebus illis Antipas testis meus fidelis, qui occisus est apud vos ubi Satanas habitat.

I know where thou dwellest, where the seat of Satan is. And thou holdest fast my name and hast not denied my faith. Even in those days when Antipas was my faithful witness, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.

Sci ubi habita, ubi sede es de Satana: et tene nomine meo, et non nega fide meo. Et in dies ad illos Antipase teste meo fideli, qui occide es apud vos ubi Satana habita.

Sed habeo adversus te pauca: quia habes illic tenentes doctrinam Balaam, qui docebat Balac mittere scandalum coram filiis Israël, edere, et fornicari:

But I have against thee a few things: because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat and to commit fornication.

Sed habe contra te paucissimo: quia habe ibi tene doctrina Balaame, qui doce Balace mitte scandalo coram filios Israële, ede, et fornicor:

ita habes et tu tenentes doctrinam Nicolaitarum.

So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaites.

Ita et te habe tene doctrina de Nicolaitas.

Similiter pœnitentiam age: si quominus veniam tibi cito, et pugnabo cum illis in gladio oris mei.

In like manner do penance. If not, I will come to thee quickly and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

Similiter poenitentia age: si quominus veni ad te cito, et pugna cum illos in gladio de ore meo.

Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat ecclesiis: Vincenti dabo manna absconditum, et dabo illi calculum candidum: et in calculo nomen novum scriptum, quod nemo scit, nisi qui accipit.

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches: To him that overcometh I will give the hidden manna and will give him a white counter: and in the counter, a new name written, which no man knoweth but he that receiveth it.

Qui habe aure, audi Spiritu que dic quid ad ecclesias: ad vincento da manna absconditus, et da ad illo calculo candida: et in calculo nomine novo scripto, nemo sci quod, nisi qui accipe.

Et angelo Thyatiræ ecclesiæ scribe: Hæc dicit Filius Dei, qui habet oculos tamquam flammam ignis, et pedes ejus similes auricalco:

And to the angel of the church of Thyatira write: These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like to a flame of fire and his feet like to fine brass.

Et ad angelo de Thyatira de ecclesia scribe: hoc dic Filio de Deo, qui habe oculos sicut flamma de igni, et pedes de illo simili auricalco:

Novi opera tua, et fidem, et caritatem tuam, et ministerium, et patientiam tuam, et opera tua novissima plura prioribus.

I know thy works and thy faith and thy charity and thy ministry and thy patience and thy last works, which are more than the former.

Nosce operes tuo, et fide, et caritate tuo, et ministerio, et patientia tuo, et operes tuo novissimo multo priore.

Sed habeo adversus te pauca: quia permittis mulierem Jezabel, quæ se dicit propheten, docere, et seducere servos meos, fornicari, et manducare de idolothytis.

But I have against thee a few things: because thou sufferest the woman Jezabel, who calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants, to commit fornication and to eat of things sacrificed to idols.

Sed habe contra te paucissimo: quia permitte muliere Iezabele, que dic se prophetene, doce, et seduce servos meo, fornicor, et manduca de idolothytas.

Et dedi illi tempus ut pœnitentiam ageret: et non vult pœnitere a fornicatione sua.

And I gave her a time that she might do penance: and she will not repent of her fornication.

Et da ad illo tempore ut poenitentia age: et non vol poenite ab fornicatione suo.

Ecce mittam eam in lectum: et qui mœchantur cum ea, in tribulatione maxima erunt, nisi pœnitentiam ab operibus suis egerint.

Behold, I will cast her into a bed: and they that commit adultery with her shall be in very great tribulation, except they do penance from their deeds,

Ecce mitte illa in lecto: et qui moechor cum illa, in tribulatione magna es, nisi poenitentia ab operes suo age.

Et filios ejus interficiam in morte, et scient omnes ecclesiæ, quia ego sum scrutans renes, et corda: et dabo unicuique vestrum secundum opera sua. Vobis autem dico,

And I will kill her children with death: and all the churches shall know that I am he that searcheth the reins and hearts. And I will give to every one of you according to your works. But to you I say

Et filios de illo interfice in morte, et sci omni ecclesias, quia me es scrutor rene, et cordes: et da et unisque vestro secundo operes suo. Ad vos autem dic,

et ceteris qui Thyatiræ estis: quicumque non habent doctrinam hanc, et qui non cognoverunt altitudines Satanæ, quemadmodum dicunt, non mittam super vos aliud pondus:

And to the rest who are at Thyatira: Whosoever have not this doctrine and who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say: I will not put upon you any other burthen.

Et ad cetero qui de Thyatira es: omni non habe doctrina hoc, et qui non cognosce altitudines de Satana, quemadmodum dic, non mitte super vos alio pondere:

tamen id quod habetis, tenete donec veniam.

Yet that which you have, hold fast till I come.

Tamen id quod habe, tene usque que veni.

Et qui vicerit, et custodierit usque in finem opera mea, dabo illi potestatem super gentes,

And he that shall overcome and keep my works unto the end, I will give him power over the nations.

Et qui vince, et custodi usque in fine operes meo, da ad illo potestate super gentes,

et reget eas in virga ferrea, et tamquam vas figuli confringentur,

And he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and as the vessel of a potter they shall be broken:

Et rege illas in virga ferrea, et sicut vase de figulo confringe,

sicut et ego accepi a Patre meo: et dabo illi stellam matutinam.

As I also have received of my Father. And I will give him the morning star.

Sicut et me accipe ab Patre meo: et da ad illo stella matutina.

Qui habet aurem, audiat quid Spiritus dicat ecclesiis.

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.

Qui habe aure, audi Spiritu que dic quid ad ecclesias.
