These are the generations of heaven and earth when they were created, in the time when the Lord God created heaven and earth and all the shrubs of the field before they were in the earth. And all the herbs of the field before they sprang, for the Lord God had yet sent no rain upon the earth, neither was there yet any man to till the earth. But there arose a mist out of the ground, and watered all the face of the earth: Then the Lord God shaped man, even of the mold of the earth, and breathed into his face the breath of life. So man was made a living soul.
After this said he unto me: Thou son of man, eat that, what forever it be: yee eat that closed book and go thy way, and speak unto the children of Israel. So I opened my mouth, and he gave me the book for to eat, said unto me: Thou son of man, thy belly shall eat, and thy bowels shall be filled with the book, that I give thee. Then did I eat the book, and it was in my mouth sweeter than honey. And he said unto me: thou son of man, get thee soon unto the house of Israel, and show them the words that I command thee: For I send thee not to the people that hath a strange, unknown, or hard speech, but unto the house of Israel, Not to many nations, which have diverse speeches and hard languages, whose words thou understand not. Nevertheless, if I sent thee to those people, they would follow thee: But the house of Israel will not follow thee, for they will follow me: yee all the house of Israel have stiff foreheads, and hard hearts. Behold, therefore, I will make thy face prevail against their faces, and harden thy forehead against their foreheads: so that thy forehead shall be harder than an Adamant or flint stone: that thou may fearest them the less, and be less afraid of them, for they are a froward household.
He said moreover unto me: thou son of man, take diligent heed with thy ears, to the words that I speak unto thee, fasten them in thine heart: and go to the prisoners of thy people, speak unto them, and say on this manner: Thus the Lord God hath spoken: whether ye hear or hear not. With that the spirit took me up. And I heard the noise of a great rushing and the removing of the most blessed glory of the Lord out of his place.
I heard also the noise of the wings of the beasts, that rushed one against the other, yee and the rattling of the wheels, that were by them, which rushing and noise was very great.
Now when the spirit took me up, and carried me away, I went with an heavy and sorrowful mind, but the hand of the Lord comforted me right soon.
And so in the beginning of the month Abib, I came to the prisoners, that dwell by the water of Cobar, and remained in that place, where they were: And so continued I among them seven days, being very sorry.
And when the seven days were expired, the Lord said unto me:Thou son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore take good heed to the words, and give them warning at my commandment.
If I say unto thee, concerning the ungodly man, that ( without doubt ) he must die, and thou givest him not the warning, nor speakest unto him, that he may turn from his evil way, and so to live: Then shall the same ungodly man die in his own unrighteousness: but his blood will I require of thine hand. Nevertheless, if thou give warning unto the wicked, and he yet forsake not his ungodliness: then shall he die in his own wickedness, but thou hast discharged thy soul.
Now if a righteous man go from his righteousness, and do the thing that is evil: I will lay a stumbling block before him, and he shall die, because thou hast not given him warning: yee die shall he in his own sin, so that the virtue, which he did before, shall not be thought upon: but his blood will I require of thine hand.
Nevertheless, if thou exhorteth the righteous, that he sin not, and so the righteous do not sin : then shall he live, because he hath received thy warning, and thou hast discharged thy soul. And there came the hand of the Lord upon me, and he said unto me: Stand up, and go into the field, that I may there talk with thee.
So when I had risen up, and gone forth into the field: Behold, the glory of the Lord stood there, like as I saw it afore, by the waters of Cobar.
Then fell I down upon my face, and the spirit came in to me, which set me up upon my feet, and said thus unto me: Go thy way, and *sparre thyself in thine own house. Behold, ( O thou son of man ) there shall changes be brought for thee, to bring thee withal, so that thou shalt not escape out of them. And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and not be as a *chidet with them: for it is an abstinent household.
But when I speak unto thee, then open thy mouth, and say: Thus sayeth the Lord God: who so heareth, let him hear: who so will not, let him leave: for it is an abstinent household.
*sparre=the door shut tight; bolted *chidet=mildly reprimand
Chapter 18
The word of the Lord came unto me, on this manner: what mean ye, by this common proverb, that ye use in the land of Israel, saying: The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the childrens teeth are set on edge? As truly as I live, saith the Lord God, ye shall use this byword no more in Israel.
Behold, all souls are mine. Like as the father is mine, so is the son mine also. The soul that sinneth, shall die. If a man be godly, and do the thing that is equal and right, he eateth not upon the hills: he lifteth not his eyes up to the Idols of Israel, he defileth not his neighbors wife: he meddleth with no menstruous woman: he grieveth nobody: he giveth his debtor his pledge again , he raketh none other mans goods by violence: he parteth his meat with the hungry: he clotheth the naked: he lendeth nothing upon usury: he taketh nothing over: he with draweth his hand from doing wrong: he handleth faithfully between man and man: he walketh in my commandments, and keepeth my laws, and performeth them faithfully: This is a righteous man, he shall surly live saith the Lord God.
If he now get a son, that is a murderer, a shedder of blood: if he do one of these things ( though he do not all ) he eateth upon the hills: he defiled his neighbors wife: he grieveth the poor and needy: he robbeth and spoileth: he giveth not the debtor his pledge again, he lifteth up his eyes unto Idols, and meddle with abominable things: he lendeth upon usury, and taketh moreover. Shall this man live? He shall not live. Seeing he hath done all these abominations, he shall die his blood shall be upon him.
Now if this man get a son also, that seeth all his fathers sins, which he hath done: and feareth, neither do such like: Namely , he eateth not upon the mountains: he lifteth not up his eyes to the Idols of Israel: he defileth not his neighbors wife: he vexeth no man: he keepeth no mans pledge, he neither spoileth, nor robbeth any man: he dealeth his meat with the hungry: he clotheth the naked: he opresseth not the poor: he receiveth no usury, nor anything over: he keepeth my laws, and walketh in my comandments: this man shall not die in his fathers sin, but shall live without fail. As for his father: because he oppressed and spoiled his brother, and did wickedly among his people: Lo, he is dead in his own sin. And yet say ye: Wherefore then should not the son bear his fathers sin? Therefore shall he live in deed. The same soul that sinneth, shall die. The son shall not bear the fathers offense. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him self also. But if the ungodly will turn away from all his sins that he hath done, and keep all my comandments, and do the thing that is equal and right: doubtless he shall live, and not die. As for all the sins that he did before, they shall not be thought upon: but in his righteousness that he hath done, he shall live. For have I any pleasure in the death of a sinner, sayeth the Lord God: but rather that he convert, and live?
Again: If the righteous turn away from his righteousness, and do iniquity, according to all the abominations, that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All the righteousness that he hath done, shall not be thought upon: but in the fault that he offended withal and in the sin that he hath done, he shall die.
And yet ye say: Tush, the way of the Lord is not indifferent. Hear therefore ye house of Israel: Is not my way right? Or, are not your ways rather wicked? When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and meddleth with ungodliness: he must die therein: yee for the unrighteousness that he hath done, he must die. Again: when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness, that he hath done, and doeth the thing which is equal and right: he shall save his soul alive. For in so much that he remembereth himself, and turneth him from all ungodliness that he used, he shall live, and not die.
And yet saith the house of Israel: Tush, the way of the Lord is not equal. Are my ways unright, O ye house of Israel: Are not your ways rather unequal? As for me, I will judge every man, according to his ways, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord God. Wherefore be converted, and turn you clean from all your wickedness, so shall there no sin do you harm. Cast away from you all your ungodliness, that ye have done: make you new hearts and new spirit. Wherefore will ye die, O ye house of Israel: seeing that I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, sayeth the Lord God. Turn you then, and ye shall live.
For thus saith
the Lord of Hosts the God of Israel: Like as my wrath and indignation is come
upon the inhabitors of Jerusalem, so shall my displeasure go forth upon you
also, if ye go into Egypt: For there ye shall be reviled, abhorred, brought to
shame and confusion: and as for this place, ye shall never see it more. The Lord
forbideth you ( O ye remnant of Juda ) that ye shall not go in to Egypt.
And forget not that I have warned you
earnestly this day else shall ye beguile yourselves. For ye sent me unto the
Lord your God and said: O pray thou the Lord our God for us: and look what
answer the Lord our God giveth thee, that bring us again, and we shall do
thereafter. Now have I showed, and declared unto you the voice of the Lord your
God, for the which cause he hath sent me to you. If ye will not follow it be
sure that ye shall perish with the sword, with hunger and pestilence: even in
the same place, where your lust was to go, and dwell
Keep them therefore and
do them, for that is your wisdom and understanding in the sight of the nations:
which when they have heard all these ordinances, shall say: O' what a wise and
understanding people is this great nation. For what nation is so great that hath
gods so nigh unto him: as the Lord our God is nigh unto us, in all things, when
we call unto him? Yea, and what nation is so great that hath ordinances and laws
so righteous, as all this law which I set before you this day.
Take heed to thyself therefore only and
keep thy soul diligently, that thou forget not the things which thine eyes have
seen, and that they depart not out of thine heart, all the days of thy life: but
teach them thy sons, and thy sons sons. The day that I stood before the Lord
your God in Horeb, when he said unto me, gather me the people together, that I
may make them hear my words that they may learn to fear me as long as they live
upon the earth and that they may teach their children: ye came and stood also
under the hill, and the hill burnt with fire: even unto the midst of heaven, and
there was darkness, clouds and mist. And the Lord spake unto you out of the fire
and ye heard the voice of the words: But saw no image, save heard a voice only.
THE REVELATION OF ST JOHN THE DIVINE Chpt 18
And after that, I saw
another Angel come from heaven, having great power, and the earth was lightened
with his brightness. And he cried mightily with a strong voice saying: Great
Babylon is fallen, is fallen: and is become the habitation of devils, and the
hold of all foul spirits, and a cage of all unclean and hateful birds for all
nations have drunken of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. And the kings
of the earth have committed fornication with her, and her merchants are waxed
rich of the abundance of her pleasures.
And I heard another voice from heaven, say:
come away from her my people, that ye be not partakers in her sins, that ye
receive not of her plagues. For her sins are gone up to heaven, and God hath
remembered her wickedness. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and give her
double according to her works. And pour in double to her in the same cup which
she filled unto you. And as much as she glorified herself and lived wantonly so
much pour ye in for her of punishment and sorrow, for she said in her heart: I
sit being a queen and am no widow and shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her
plagues come at one day, death, and sorrow, and hunger, and she shall be burnt
with fire: for strong is the Lord God which judgeth her.
And the kings of the earth shall beweep her
and wail over her, which have committed fornication with her, and have lived
wantonly with her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, and shall stand
afar off, for fear of her punishment, saying . Alas, Alas, that great city
Babylon, that mighty city: for at one hour is her judgment come. And
the merchants of the earth shall weep and wail in themselves, for no man will
buy their ware any more, the ware of gold and silver, and precious
stones, neither of pearl, and raynes and purple, and scarlet, and all thine
wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious
wood, and of brass and of iron, and cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and
frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, beasts, and sheep,
and horses, and chariots, and bodies
and souls of men.
THE FOURTH BOOK OF ESDRAS Chpt 11
Then saw I a
dream: and behold, there came up from the sea an Eagle, which had twelve wings
and three heads: And I saw, and behold, *he spread his wings over all the earth,
and all the winds of the air blew in them, and so they were put together again.
And I beheld, and out of his feathers there grew other little contrary feathers:
the heads rested, the head in the midst was greater than the others, yet rested
it with the residue.
Moreover I saw, that the eagle flew with his
wings, and reigned upon the earth, and over all them that dwell upon the earth:
and I saw that all things under heaven were subject unto him, and no man spoke
against him, no not one creature upon the earth. I saw also that the Eagle stood
up on his claws, and give a sound with his feathers, and a voice saying things
after this manner: watch not all together, sleep every man in his own place, and
watch for a time, but let the heads be preserved at the last. Nevertheless I
saw, that the voice went not out of his heads, but from the midst of his body.
And I numbered his contrary feathers, and behold there were eight of them. And I
looked, and behold upon the right side there arose one feather, and reigned over
all the earth. And it happened, that when it reigned, the end of it came, and
the place thereof appeared no more. So the next following stood up, and reigned,
and had a great time: and it happened, that when it reigned, the end of it came
also, like as the first, so that it appeared no more.
Then came there a voice unto it, and said:
Hear thou that hast kept in the earth so long, this I say unto thee, before thou
beginest to appear no more: There shall none after thee attain unto thy time.
Then arose the third, and reigned as the other afore, and appeared no more also.
So went it with all the residue one after the other, so that every one reigned,
and then appeared no more. Then I looked, and behold, in the process of time
that the feathers that followed were set up upon the right side, that they might
rule also: and some of them ruled, but within a while they appeared no more: for
some of them were set up, but ruled not. After this I looked, and behold the
twelve feathers appeared no more, and that two wings: and there were no more
upon the Eagles body, but the two heads that rested, and six feathers. Then saw
I also, that the six feathers were parted in two, and remained under the head,
that was upon the right side, for the four continued in their place. So I
looked, and behold, they that were under the wings, thought to set up
themselves, and to have the rule. Then was there one set up, but shortly it
appeared no more, and the second was sooner away than the first. And I beheld,
and lo, the two thought also by themselves to reign: and when they so thought,
behold there awaked one of the heads that were at rest, namely, it that was in
the midst, for that was the greater of the two heads. And then I saw, that the
two heads were filled with him and the head was turned with them that were by
him, and eat up the two under wings , that would have reigned.
But this head put the whole earth in fear,
and bare rule in it, over all those that dwelt upon the earth with much labor,
and he had the governance of the world, over all the fowls that have been. After
this I looked , and behold, the head that was in the midst, suddenly appeared no
more, like as the wings: then came the two heads, which ruled upon the earth,
and over those that dwelt therein. And I beheld, and lo the head upon the right
side, devoured it that was upon the left side. And I heard a voice, which said
unto me: look before thee, and consider the thing that thou seest. Then I saw,
and behold, as it were a lion that roareth, running hastily out of the wood, and
he sent out a mans voice unto the Eagle, and said: Hear thou, I will talk with
thee, and the Highest shall say unto thee: Is it not thou that hast the victory
of the four beasts, whom I made to reign upon the earth and in my world, and
that the end of their times might come through them?
And the fourth came, and *overwane, subdue
all the beasts that were past, and had power over the world with great
fearfulness, and over the whole compass of the earth with the
most wicked labor,
and so long time dwelt he upon the earth with deceit, and the earth thou hast
not judged the truth. For thou hast troubled the meek, thou hast hurt the
peaceable and quiet, thou hast loved lies, and destroyed the dwellings of them
that brought forth fruit, and hast cast down the walls of such as did thee no
harm. Therefore is thy wrongeous dealing and blasphemy come up unto the Highest,
and thy pride unto the Mighty. The Highest also hath looked upon the proud
times, and behold, they are ended, and their abominations are fulfilled. And
therefore appear no more thou Eagle, and thy horrible wings, and thy wicked
feathers, and thy ungracious heads, and thy sinful claws, and all thy vain body:
that the earth may be refreshed, and come again to herself, when she is
delivered from thy violence, and that she may hope for the judgement and mercy
of him that made her
Note Eagle *he spread his wings "over all the earth". *overwane= lord over (sml l ) over / diminish, weaken.
THE SECOND EPISTLE OF ST. PETER Chpt 2
There were false Prophets among the people, even as there shall
be false teachers among you: which privily shall bring in damnable sects, even
denying the Lord that hath bought them, and bring upon themselves swift
damnation, and many shall follow their damnable ways, by which the way of truth
shall be evil spoken of, and through covetousness shall they with *feigned
words make merchandise of you, whose judgment is not far
off, and their damnation sleepeth not.
For if God spared not the angels that
sinned, but cast them down into hell, and delivered them in chains of darkness,
to be kept unto judgement: Neither spared the old world, but saved Noah the
eight preacher of righteousness, and brought in the flood upon the world of the
ungodly, and turned the cities of Zodom and Gomor into ashes: overthrew them,
damned them, and made of them an example unto all that after should live
ungodly. And just Lot vexed with the uncleanly conversation of the wicked,
delivered he. For he being righteous and dwelling among them in seeing and
hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds. The
Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and how to reserve the
unjust unto the day of judgment for to be punished: namely them that walk after
the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise the rulers. Presumptuous are
they, and stubborn and fear not to speak evil of them that are in authority.
When the angels which are greater both in power and might, receive not of the
Lord railing judgement against them. But these as brute beasts, naturally made
to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of that they know not, and shall perish
through their own destruction, and receive the reward of unrighteousness.
They count it pleasure to live deliciously
for a season. Spots they are and filthiness, living at pleasure, and in
deceivable ways, feasting with you: having eyes full of *advoutry and that
cannot cease to sin, beguiling unstable souls. Hearts they have exercised with
covetousness. They are cursed children, and have forsaken the right way, and are
gone astray following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, which loved the reward
of unrighteousness: but was rebuked of his iniquity. The tame and dumb beast,
speaking with mans voice, forbade the foolishness of the Prophet.
These are wells without water and clouds
carried about of a tempest, to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.
For when they have spoken the swelling words of vanity, they beguile with
wantonness through the lusts of the flesh, them that were clean escaped: but now
are wrapped in errors. They promise them liberty, and are themselves the bond
servants of corruption. For of whom soever a man is overcome, unto the same is
he in bondage. For if they, after they have escaped from the filthiness of the
world through the knowledge of the Lord and of the saviour Jesus Christ, they
are yet tangled again therein and overcome: then is the latter end worse with
them than the beginning. For it had been better for them, not to have known the
way of righteousness than after they have known it, to turn from the holy
commandment given unto them. It is happened unto them according to the true
proverb: The dog is turned to his vomit again, and the sow that was washed, to
her wallowing in the mire
THE THIRD EPISTLE OF ST. JOHN Chpt 1
The elder unto the
beloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth. Beloved I wish in all things that
thou prosperedest and faredest well even as thy soul prospereth. I rejoiced
greatly when the brethren came, and testified of the truth that is in thee, how
thou walkest in truth. I have no greater joy than for to hear how that my sons
walk in verity.
Beloved, thou dost faithfully whatsoever
thou dost to the brethren, and to strangers, which bare witness of thy love
before all the congregation. Which brethren when thou bringest forwards on
their journey (as it beseemeth God) thou shalt do well: because that for his
names sake they went forth, and took nothing of the Gentiles. We therefore ought
to receive such, that we also might be helpers to the truth.
I wrote unto the congregation: but
Diotrephes which loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.
Wherefore if I come, I will declare his deeds which he doeth, jesting on us with
malicious words, neither is therewith content. Not only he himself receiveth not
the brethren: but also he forbiddeth them that would, and thrusteth them out of
the congregation.
Beloved, follow not that which is evil,
but that which is good. He that doeth well is of God: but he that doeth evil
seeth not God. Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth: ye
and we our selves also bear record, and ye know that our record is true. I have
many things to write: but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee. For I
trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak mouth to mouth. Peace be with
thee. The lovers salute thee. Greet the lovers by name.
What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light. And what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye on the house tops.
And fear ye not them which kill the body, and be not able to kill the soul. But rather fear him, which is able to destroy both soul and body into hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? And none of them doth light on the ground, without your father. And now are all the hairs of your heads numbered. Fear ye not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
Whosoever therefore shall knowledge me before men, him will I knowledge also before my father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my father which is in heaven.
Think not, that I am come to send peace into the earth. I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law: And a mans foes shall be they of his own household.
At that time Jesus answered and said: I praise thee O' father Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast opened them unto babes: even so father, for so it pleased thee. All things are given unto me of my father. And no man knoweth the son but thy father: neither knoweth any man the father, save the son, and he to whom the son will open him.
Come unto me all ye that labor and are laden, and I will ease you. Take my yoke on you and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him. When Jesus knew that, he departed thence, and much people followed him, and he healed them all, and charged them that they should not make him known: to fulfil that which was spoken by Esai the Prophet, which sayeth. Behold my child, whom I have chosen, my beloved, in whom my soul delighteth. I will put my spirit on him, and he shall show judgement to the gentiles. He shall not strive, he shall not cry, neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets, a bruised reed shall he not break, and flax that beginneth to burn, he shall not quench, till he send forth judgement unto victory, and in his name shall the gentiles trust.
And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar, the souls of them that were killed for the word of God, and for the testimony which they had, and they cried with a loud voice saying: How long tarriest thou Lord holy and true, to judge and to avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And long white garments were given unto every one of them. And it was said unto them that they should rest for a little season until the number of their fellows, and brethren, and of them that should be killed as they were, were fulfilled.
And I beheld when he opened the sixth seal, and lo there was a great earthquake and the *sun was as black as sack cloth made of hair. And the moon waxed even as blood: and the stars of heaven fell unto the earth even as a fig tree casteth from her, her figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And heaven vanished away, as a scroll when it is rolled together. And all mountains and isles, were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in dens, and in rocks of the hills: and said to the hills and rocks: fall on us, and hide us from the presence of him that sitteth on the seat, and from the wrath of the lamb: for the great day of his wrath is come, and who can endure it.
*sun: this is sun, spelled originally sunne.
And after that, I saw another Angel come from heaven, having great power, and the earth was lightened with his brightness. And he cried mightily with a strong voice saying: Great Babylon is fallen, is fallen: and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of all foul spirits, and a cage of all unclean and hateful birds for all nations have drunken of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. And the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and her merchants are waxed rich of the abundance of her pleasures.
And I heard another voice from heaven, say: come away from her my people, that ye be not partakers in her sins, that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins are gone up to heaven, and God hath remembered her wickedness. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and give her double according to her works. And pour in double to her in the same cup which she filled unto you. And as much as she glorified herself and lived wantonly so much pour ye in for her of punishment and sorrow, for she said in her heart: I sit being a queen and am no widow and shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her plagues come at one day, death, and sorrow, and hunger, and she shall be burnt with fire: for strong is the Lord God which judgeth her.
And the kings of the earth shall beweep her and wail over her, which have committed fornication with her, and have lived wantonly with her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, and shall stand afar off, for fear of her punishment, saying . Alas, Alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city: for at one hour is her judgment come. And the merchants of the earth shall weep and wail in themselves, for no man will buy their ware any more, the ware of gold and silver, and precious stones, neither of pearl, and raynes and purple, and scarlet, and all thine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass and of iron, and cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and bodies and souls of men.
And the apples that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee. And all things which were dainty, and had in price are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more. The merchants of these things which were waxed rich, shall stand afar off from her, for fear of the punishment of her, weeping and wailing, and saying: Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in raynes, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stone, and pearls: for at one hour so great riches is come to nought.
And every ship governor, and all they that occupied ships, and shipmen which work in the sea, stood afar off, and cried, when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying: what city is like unto this great city? And they cast dust on their heads, and cried weeping, and wailing, and said: Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea, by the reason of her costliness, for at one hour is she made desolate.
Rejoice over her thou heaven, and ye holy Apostles and Prophets: for God hath given your judgement on her. And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying: with such violence shall that great city Babylon be cast, and shall be found no more. And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more in thee: and no crafts man, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee. And the sound of a mill shall be heard no more in thee, and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride, shall be heard no more in thee, for thy merchants were the great men of the earth. And with thine enchantment were deceived all nations: and in her was found the blood of the Prophets, and of the saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
Chapter 20
And I saw an Angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit, and a great chain in his hand. And he took the dragon that old serpent, which is the devil and Sathanas, and he bound him a thousand years: and cast him into the bottomless pit, and he bound him, and set a seal on him, that he should deceive the people no more, till the thousand years were fulfilled. And after that he must be loosed for a little season.
And I saw seats and they sat upon them and judgement was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of *Jesu, and for the word of God: which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had taken his mark upon their foreheads, or on their hands: and they lived, and reigned with Christ a thousand years: but the other of the dead men lived not again, until the thousand years were finished. This is that first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection. For on such shall the second death have no power, for they shall be the Priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, and shall go out to deceive the people which are in the four quarters of the earth Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea: and they went up on the plain of the earth, and compassed the tents of the saints about, and the beloved city. And fire came down from God, out of heaven, and devoured them: and the devil that deceived them, was cast into a lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet were and shall be tormented day and night for ever more.
And I saw a great white seat and him that sat on it, from whose face fled away both the earth and heaven, and their place was no more found. And I saw the dead, both great and small *stonde before God: And the books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the book of life, and the dead were judged of those things which were written in the books according to their deeds: and the sea gave up her dead, which were in her, and death and hell delivered up the dead, which were in them: and they were judged every man according to his deeds. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is that second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life, was cast into the lake of fire.
*Jesu: Hebrew for Jesus. *stonde (stunned) *stonde: stunned see stand plainly in the 19th Chapter and stunned in the 12th Chapter.
Chapter 21
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth. For the first heaven, and the first earth were vanished away, and there was no more sea. And I John saw that holy city new Jerusalem come down from God out of heaven prepared as a bride garnished for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying: behold the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them. And they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. And there shall be no more death, neither sorrow neither crying, neither shall there be any more pain, for the old things are gone. And he that sat upon the seat, said. Behold I make all things new. And he said unto me: write, for these words are faithful and true.
And he said unto me: it is done, I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to him that is a thirst of the well of the water of life, free. He that overcometh, shall inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.
I Jesus sent mine angel, to testify unto you these things in the congregations. I am the root and the generation of David, and the bright morning star. And the spirit and the bride said come. And let him that heareth, say also, come. And let him that is a thirst, come. And let whosoever will, take of the water of life, free.
I testify unto every man that heareth the words of prophecy of this book: *If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book. And if any man shall minish of the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from those things which are written in this book. He which testifieth these things saith: be it, I come quickly, Amen.
Even so: come Lord Jesu.
The grace of our Lord Jesu Christ be with you all:
Amen.
