The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 Immediately I saw Four Angels standing at the four corners of earth, standing steady with a firm grip on the four winds so no wind would blow on earth or sea, not even rustle a tree.
1
post haec vidi quattuor angelos stantes super quattuor angulos terrae tenentes quattuor ventos terrae ne flaret ventus super terram neque super mare neque in ullam arborem
2 Then I saw another Angel rising from where the sun rose, carrying the seal of the Living God. He thundered to the Four Angels assigned the task of hurting earth and sea,
2
et vidi alterum angelum ascendentem ab ortu solis habentem signum Dei vivi et clamavit voce magna quattuor angelis quibus datum est nocere terrae et mari
3 "Don't hurt the earth! Don't hurt the sea! Don't so much as hurt a tree until I've sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads!"
3
dicens nolite nocere terrae neque mari neque arboribus quoadusque signemus servos Dei nostri in frontibus eorum
4 I heard the count of those who were sealed: 144,000! They were sealed out of every Tribe of Israel:
4
et audivi numerum signatorum centum quadraginta quattuor milia signati ex omni tribu filiorum Israhel
5 12,000 sealed from Judah, 12,000 from Reuben, 12,000 from Gad,
5
ex tribu Iuda duodecim milia signati ex tribu Ruben duodecim milia ex tribu Gad duodecim milia
6 12,000 from Asher, 12,000 from Naphtali, 12,000 from Manasseh,
6
ex tribu Aser duodecim milia ex tribu Nepthalim duodecim milia ex tribu Manasse duodecim milia
7 12,000 from Simeon, 12,000 from Levi, 12,000 from Issachar,
7
ex tribu Symeon duodecim milia ex tribu Levi duodecim milia ex tribu Issachar duodecim milia
8 12,000 from Zebulun, 12,000 from Joseph, 12,000 sealed from Benjamin.
8
ex tribu Zabulon duodecim milia ex tribu Ioseph duodecim milia ex tribu Beniamin duodecim milia signati
9 I looked again. I saw a huge crowd, too huge to count. Everyone was there - all nations and tribes, all races and languages. And they were standing, dressed in white robes and waving palm branches, standing before the Throne and the Lamb
9
post haec vidi turbam magnam quam dinumerare nemo poterat ex omnibus gentibus et tribubus et populis et linguis stantes ante thronum et in conspectu agni amicti stolas albas et palmae in manibus eorum
10 and heartily singing: Salvation to our God on his Throne! Salvation to the Lamb!
10
et clamabant voce magna dicentes salus Deo nostro qui sedet super thronum et agno
11 All who were standing around the Throne - Angels, Elders, Animals - fell on their faces before the Throne and worshiped God,
11
et omnes angeli stabant in circuitu throni et seniorum et quattuor animalium et ceciderunt in conspectu throni in facies suas et adoraverunt Deum
12 singing: Oh, Yes! The blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving, The honor and power and strength, To our God forever and ever and ever! Oh, Yes!
12
dicentes amen benedictio et claritas et sapientia et gratiarum actio et honor et virtus et fortitudo Deo nostro in saecula saeculorum amen
13 Just then one of the Elders addressed me: "Who are these dressed in white robes, and where did they come from?"
13
et respondit unus de senioribus dicens mihi hii qui amicti sunt stolis albis qui sunt et unde venerunt
14 Taken aback, I said, "O Sir, I have no idea - but you must know."
14
et dixi illi domine mi tu scis et dixit mihi hii sunt qui veniunt de tribulatione magna et laverunt stolas suas et dealbaverunt eas in sanguine agni
15 That's why they're standing before God's Throne. They serve him day and night in his Temple. The One on the Throne will pitch his tent there for them:
15
ideo sunt ante thronum Dei et serviunt ei die ac nocte in templo eius et qui sedet in throno habitabit super illos
16 no more hunger, no more thirst, no more scorching heat.
16
non esurient neque sitient amplius neque cadet super illos sol neque ullus aestus
17 The Lamb on the Throne will shepherd them, will lead them to spring waters of Life. And God will wipe every last tear from their eyes."
17
quoniam agnus qui in medio throni est reget illos et deducet eos ad vitae fontes aquarum et absterget Deus omnem lacrimam ex oculis eorum
