| 1 | And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars: | Et signum magnum apparuit in caelo: mulier amicta sole, et luna sub pedibus eius, et in capite eius corona stellarum duodecim: |
| 2 | And being with child, she cried travailing in birth, and was in pain to be delivered. | et in utero habens, clamabat parturiens, et cruciabatur ut pariat. |
| 3 | And there was seen another sign in heaven: and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads, and ten horns: and on his head seven diadems: | Et visum est aliud signum in caelo: et ecce draco magnus rufus habens capita septem, et cornua decem: et in capitibus eius diademata septem, |
| 4 | And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to be delivered; that, when she should be delivered, he might devour her son. | et cauda eius trahebat tertiam partem stellarum caeli, et misit eas in terram: et draco stetit ante mulierem, quae erat paritura, ut cum peperisset, filium eius devoraret. |
| 5 | And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with an iron rod: and her son was taken up to God, and to his throne. | Et peperit filium masculum, qui recturus erat omnes gentes in virga ferrea: et raptus est filius eius ad Deum, et ad thronum eius, |
| 6 | And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she had a place prepared by God, that there they should feed her a thousand two hundred sixty days. | et mulier fugit in solitudinem ubi habebat locum paratum a Deo, ut ibi pascant eam diebus mille ducentis sexaginta. |
| 7 | And there was a great battle in heaven, Michael and his angels fought with the dragon, and the dragon fought and his angels: | Et factum est praelium magnum in caelo: Michaël et angeli eius praeliabantur cum dracone, et draco pugnabat, et angeli eius: |
| 8 | And they prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven. | et non valuerunt, neque locus inventus est eorum amplius in caelo. |
| 9 | And that great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, who seduceth the whole world; and he was cast unto the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. | Et proiectus est draco ille magnus, serpens antiquus, qui vocatur diabolus, et Satanas, qui seducit universum orbem: et proiectus est in terram, et angeli eius cum illo missi sunt. |
| 10 | And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying: Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: because the accuser of our brethren is cast forth, who accused them before our God day and night. | Et audivi vocem magnam in caelo dicentem: Nunc facta est salus, et virtus, et regnum Dei nostri, et potestas Christi eius: quia proiectus est accusator fratrum nostrorum, qui accusabat illos ante conspectum Dei nostri die ac nocte. |
| 11 | And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of the testimony, and they loved not their lives unto death. | Et ipsi vicerunt eum propter sanguinem Agni, et propter verbum testimonii sui, et non dilexerunt animas suas usque ad mortem. |
| 12 | Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you that dwell therein. Woe to the earth, and to the sea, because the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time. | Propterea laetamini caeli, et qui habitatis in eis. Vae terrae, et mari, quia descendit diabolus ad vos habens iram magnam, sciens quod modicum tempus habet. |
| 13 | And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman, who brought forth the man child: | Et postquam vidit draco quod proiectus esset in terram, persecutus est mulierem, quae peperit masculum: |
| 14 | And there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the desert unto her place, where she is nourished for a time and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. | et datae sunt mulieri alae duae aquilae magnae ut volaret in desertum in locum suum, ubi alitur per tempus et tempora, et dimidium temporis a facie serpentis. |
| 15 | And the serpent cast out of his mouth after the woman, water as it were a river; that he might cause her to be carried away by the river. | Et misit serpens ex ore suo post mulierem, aquam tamquam flumen, ut eam faceret trahi a flumine. |
| 16 | And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the river, which the dragon cast out of his mouth. | Et adiuvit terra mulierem, et aperuit terra os suum, et absorbuit flumen, quod misit draco de ore suo. |
| 17 | And the dragon was angry against the woman: and went to make war with the rest of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. | Et iratus est draco in mulierem: et abiit facere praelium cum reliquis de semine eius, qui custodiunt mandata Dei, et habent testimonium Iesu Christi. |
| 18 | And he stood upon the sand of the sea. | Et stetit supra arenam maris. |
