after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.

1 Et post hæc vidi alium angelum descendentem de cælo, habentem potestatem magnam: et terra illuminata est a gloria ejus.

2 And he cried mightily with a strong

ℵA ⟨with a mighty⟩

voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen

ℵ ⟨Fallen is Babylon the great⟩

, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul

A ⟨unclean and hateful⟩

spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird

A ⟨beast⟩

.

2 Et exclamavit in fortitudine, dicens: Cecidit, cecidit Babylon magna: et facta est habitatio dæmoniorum, et custodia omnis spiritus immundi, et custodia omnis volucris immundæ, et odibilis:

3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the

wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

3 quia de vino iræ fornicationis ejus biberunt omnes gentes: et reges terræ cum illa fornicati sunt: et mercatores terræ de virtute deliciarum ejus divites facti sunt.

4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

4 Et audivi aliam vocem de cælo, dicentem: Exite de illa populus meus: ut ne participes sitis delictorum ejus, et de plagis ejus non accipiatis.

5 For her sins have reached

ℵA ⟨cleaved together⟩

unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

5 Quoniam pervenerunt peccata ejus usque ad cælum, et recordatus est Dominus iniquitatum ejus.

6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her

ℵ ⟨rewarded, double unto her⟩; A ⟨rewarded, and double unto her⟩

double according to her works: in the

ℵ ⟨her⟩

cup which she hath filled fill to her double.

6 Reddite illi sicut et ipsa reddidit vobis: et duplicate duplicia secundum opera ejus: in poculo, quo miscuit, miscete illi duplum.

7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

7 Quantum glorificavit se, et in deliciis fuit, tantum date illi tormentum et luctum: quia in corde suo dicit: Sedeo regina: et vidua non sum, et luctum non videbo.

8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God

ℵ ⟨God the Lord⟩; A ⟨God⟩

who judgeth

ℵA ⟨judged⟩

her.

8 Ideo in una die venient plagæ ejus, mors, et luctus, et fames, et igne comburetur: quia fortis est Deus, qui judicabit illam.

9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously

with her, shall bewail her,

ℵA ⟨wail⟩

and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,

9 Et flebunt, et plangent se super illam reges terræ, qui cum illa fornicati sunt, et in deliciis vixerunt, cum viderint fumum incendii ejus:

10 longe stantes propter timorem tormentorum ejus, dicentes: Væ, væ civitas illa magna Babylon, civitas illa fortis: quoniam una hora venit judicium tuum.

11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:

14 Et poma desiderii animæ tuæ discesserunt a te, et omnia pinguia et præclara perierunt a te, et amplius illa jam non invenient.

15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,

15 Mercatores horum, qui divites facti sunt, ab ea longe stabunt propter timorem tormentorum ejus, flentes, ac lugentes,

16 And

saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet

17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships

ℵA ⟨every one who saileth by the place⟩

17 quoniam una hora destitutæ sunt tantæ divitiæ, et omnis gubernator, et omnis qui in lacum navigat, et nautæ, et qui in mari operantur, longe steterunt,

18 And cried when they saw the smoke

of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!

19 And they cast dust on their heads

saying, Alas, alas

20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy

20 Exsulta super eam cælum, et sancti apostoli, et prophetæ: quoniam judicavit Deus judicium vestrum de illa.

21 And a mighty

ℵA ⟨an⟩

angel took up a stone

ℵ ⟨mighty stone⟩

like a great millstone

21 Et sustulit unus angelus fortis lapidem quasi molarem magnum, et misit in mare, dicens: Hoc impetu mittetur Babylon civitas illa magna, et ultra jam non invenietur.

and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.

23 et lux lucernæ non lucebit in te amplius: et vox sponsi et sponsæ non audietur adhuc in te: quia mercatores tui erant principes terræ, quia in veneficiis tuis erraverunt omnes gentes.

24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
