The Latin Vulgate VUL
English Standard Version ESV
1 et vidi angelum descendentem de caelo habentem clavem abyssi et catenam magnam in manu sua
1
Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain.
2 et adprehendit draconem serpentem antiquum qui est diabolus et Satanas et ligavit eum per annos mille
2
And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years,
3 et misit eum in abyssum et clusit et signavit super illum ut non seducat amplius gentes donec consummentur mille anni post haec oportet illum solvi modico tempore
3
and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while.
4 et vidi sedes et sederunt super eas et iudicium datum est illis et animas decollatorum propter testimonium Iesu et propter verbum Dei et qui non adoraverunt bestiam neque imaginem eius nec acceperunt caracterem in frontibus aut in manibus suis et vixerunt et regnaverunt cum Christo mille annis
4
Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
5 ceteri mortuorum non vixerunt donec consummentur mille anni haec est resurrectio prima
5
The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection.
6 beatus et sanctus qui habet partem in resurrectione prima in his secunda mors non habet potestatem sed erunt sacerdotes Dei et Christi et regnabunt cum illo mille annis
6
Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.
7 et cum consummati fuerint mille anni solvetur Satanas de carcere suo et exibit et seducet gentes quae sunt super quattuor angulos terrae Gog et Magog et congregabit eos in proelium quorum numerus est sicut harena maris
7
And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison
8 et ascenderunt super latitudinem terrae et circumierunt castra sanctorum et civitatem dilectam
8
and will come out to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea.
9 et descendit ignis a Deo de caelo et devoravit eos et diabolus qui seducebat eos missus est in stagnum ignis et sulphuris ubi et bestia
9
And they marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, but fire came down from heaven and consumed them,
10 et pseudoprophetes et cruciabuntur die ac nocte in saecula saeculorum
10
and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
11 et vidi thronum magnum candidum et sedentem super eum a cuius aspectu fugit terra et caelum et locus non est inventus ab eis
11
Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them.
12 et vidi mortuos magnos et pusillos stantes in conspectu throni et libri aperti sunt et alius liber apertus est qui est vitae et iudicati sunt mortui ex his quae scripta erant in libris secundum opera ipsorum
12
And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done.
13 et dedit mare mortuos qui in eo erant et mors et inferus dederunt mortuos qui in ipsis erant et iudicatum est de singulis secundum opera ipsorum
13
And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done.
14 et inferus et mors missi sunt in stagnum ignis haec mors secunda est stagnum ignis
14
Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.
15 et qui non est inventus in libro vitae scriptus missus est in stagnum ignis
15
And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
