The Latin Vulgate VUL
New International Version NIV
1 et vidi alium angelum fortem descendentem de caelo amictum nube et iris in capite eius et facies eius erat ut sol et pedes eius tamquam columna ignis
1
Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven. He was robed in a cloud, with a rainbow above his head; his face was like the sun, and his legs were like fiery pillars.
2 et habebat in manu sua libellum apertum et posuit pedem suum dextrum supra mare sinistrum autem super terram
2
He was holding a little scroll, which lay open in his hand. He planted his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land,
3 et clamavit voce magna quemadmodum cum leo rugit et cum clamasset locuta sunt septem tonitrua voces suas
3
and he gave a loud shout like the roar of a lion. When he shouted, the voices of the seven thunders spoke.
4 et cum locuta fuissent septem tonitrua scripturus eram et audivi vocem de caelo dicentem signa quae locuta sunt septem tonitrua et noli ea scribere
4
And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven say, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said and do not write it down.”
5 et angelum quem vidi stantem supra mare et supra terram levavit manum suam ad caelum
5
Then the angel I had seen standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven.
6 et iuravit per viventem in saecula saeculorum qui creavit caelum et ea quae in illo sunt et terram et ea quae in ea sunt et mare et quae in eo sunt quia tempus amplius non erit
6
And he swore by him who lives for ever and ever, who created the heavens and all that is in them, the earth and all that is in it, and the sea and all that is in it, and said, “There will be no more delay!
7 sed in diebus vocis septimi angeli cum coeperit tuba canere et consummabitur mysterium Dei sicut evangelizavit per servos suos prophetas
7
But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.”
8 et vox quam audivi de caelo iterum loquentem mecum et dicentem vade accipe librum apertum de manu angeli stantis supra mare et supra terram
8
Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me once more: “Go, take the scroll that lies open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.”
9 et abii ad angelum dicens ei ut daret mihi librum et dicit mihi accipe et devora illum et faciet amaricare ventrem tuum sed in ore tuo erit dulce tamquam mel
9
So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He said to me, “Take it and eat it. It will turn your stomach sour, but ‘in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.’ ”
10 et accepi librum de manu angeli et devoravi eum et erat in ore meo tamquam mel dulce et cum devorassem eum amaricatus est venter meus
10
I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it. It tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned sour.
11 et dicunt mihi oportet te iterum prophetare populis et gentibus et linguis et regibus multis
11
Then I was told, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages and kings.”
