A vision of a wind (as it first seemed, but) indeed, v. 3. of a man: 5. strong against the enemies: 21. with the interpretation.A vision of a winde ( as it first semed, but ) in dede, v. 3. of a man: 5. strong against the enimies: 21. with the interpretation.

And it came to pass after seven days, and I dreamed a dream in the night.AND it came to passe after seuen dayes, and I dreamed a dreame in the night.Et factum est post dies septem, et somniavi somnium nocte.

2And behold there rose a wind from the sea, that troubled all the waves thereof.And behold there rose a winde from the sea, that trubled al the waues therof.Et ecce de mari ventus exurgebat, ut conturbaret omnes fluctus ejus.

3And I saw, and behold that man grew strong with thousands of heaven: and when he turned his countenance to consider, all things trembled that were seen under him:And I saw, and behold that man grew strong with thousandes of heauen: and when he turned his countenance to consider, al thinges trembled that were sene vnder him:Et vidi, et ecce convalescebat ille homo cum millibus cæli : et ubi vultum suum vertebat ut consideraret tremebant omnia quæ sub eo videbantur :

4and wheresoever voice proceeded out of his mouth, all that heard his voices began to burn, as the earth is quiet when it feeleth the fire.and wheresoeuer voyce proceded out of his mouth, al that heard his voices begaue to burne, as the earth is quiet when it feeleth the fire.et ubicumque exibat vox de ore ejus, ardescebant omnes qui audiebant voces ejus sicut quiescet terra quando senserit ignem.

5And I saw after these, and behold a multitude of men was gathered together, of whom there was no number, from the four winds of heaven, to fight against the man that was come up out of the sea.And I saw after these, and behold a multitude of men was gathered together, of whom there was no number, from the foure windes of heauen, to fight against the man that was come vp out of the sea.Et vidi post hæc, et ecce congregabatur multitudo hominum, quorum non erat numerus de quattuor ventis cæli, ut debellarent hominem qui ascenderat de mari.

6And I saw, and behold he had graven to himself a great mountain, and he flew upon it.And I saw, and behold he had grauen to himself a great mountaine, & he flew vpon it.Et vidi, et ecce sibimetipsi sculpserat montem magnum, et volavit super eum.

7And I sought to see the country, or the place whence the mountain was graven, and I could not.And I sought to see the countrie, or the place whence the mountaine was grauen, & I could not.Ego autem quæsivi videre regionem vel locum unde sculptus esset mons, et non potui.

8And after these things I saw, and behold all that were gathered to him, to overthrow him, feared exceedingly, yet they were bold to fight.And after these thinges I saw, and behold al that were gathered to him, to ouerthrowe him, feared exceedingly, yet they were bold to fieght.Et post hæc vidi, et ecce omnes qui congregati sunt ad eum, ut expugnarent eum, timebant valde, tamen audebant pugnare.

9And behold as he saw the violence of the multitude that came, he lifted not up his hand, nor held sword, nor any warlike instrument but only as I saw,And behold as he sawe the violence of the multitude that came, he lifted not vp his hand, nor held sword, nor anie warlyke instrument but only as I saw,Et ecce, ut vidit impetum multitudinis venientis, non levavit manum suam, neque frameam tenebat, neque aliquod vas bellicosum nisi solummodo ut vidi,

10that he sent forth out of his mouth as it were a blast of fire, and from his lips a spirit of flame, and from his tongue he sent forth sparkles and tempests, and all things were mingled together with this blast of fire, and spirit of flame, and multitude of tempests.that he sentforth out of his mouth as it were a blaste of fire, and from his lippes a spirit of flame, & from his tongue he sentforth sparkles & tempests, and al thinges were mingled together with this blast of fire, & spirit of flame, & multitude of tempests.quoniam emisit de ore suo sicut flatum ignis, et de labiis ejus spiritus flammæ, et de lingua ejus emittebat scintillas et tempestates, et commista sunt omnia simul, hic flatus ignis, et spiritus flammæ, et multitudo tempestatis :

11And it fell with violence upon the multitude, that was prepared to fight, and burned them all, that suddenly there was nothing seen of an innumerable multitude, but only dust, and the savour of smoke: and I saw, and was afraid.And it fel with violence vpon the multitude, that was prepared to fight, and burned them al, that suddenly there was nothing sene of an innumerable multitude, but only dust, & the sauour of smoke: and I saw, and was afrayd.et concidit super multitudinem in impetu, quæ præparata erat pugnare, et succendit omnes, ut subito nihil videretur de innumerabili multitudine, nisi solummodo pulvis, et fumi odor : et vidi, et extimui.

12And after these things I saw the man himself descending from the mountain, and calling to him another peaceable multitude,And after these thinges I saw the man himself descending from the mountaine, and calling to him an other peaceable multitude,Et post hæc vidi ipsum hominem descendentem de monte, et vocantem ad se multitudinem aliam pacificam,

13and there came to him the countenance of many men some rejoicing, and some sorrowing: and some bond, some bringing of them that were offered. And I was sick for much fear, and awaked, and said.and there came to him the countenance of manie men some reioycing, and some sorrowing: and some bond, some bringing of them that were offered. And I was sicke for much feare, and awaked, and sayd.et accedebat ad eum vultus hominum multorum quorumdam gaudentium, quorundam tristantium : aliqui vero alligati, aliqui adducentes ex eis, qui offerebantur. Et ægrotavi a multitudine pavoris, et expergefactus sum, et dixi.

14Thou from the beginning hast shewed thy servant these marvellous things, and hast counted me worthy that thou wouldest receive my petition.Thou from the beginning hast shewed thy seruant these meruelous thinges, and hast counted me worthie that thou wouldest receiue my petition.Tu ab initio demonstrasti servo tuo mirabilia hæc, et dignum me habuisti ut susciperes deprecationem meam :

15And now shew me yet the interpretation of this dream.And now shew me yet the interpretation of this dreame.et nunc demonstra mihi adhuc interpretationem somnii hujus.

16For as I think in my judgement, woe to them that were left in those days: and much more woe to them that were not left.For as I thinke in my iudgement, woe to them that were leaft in those dayes: & much more woe to them that were not leaft.Sicut enim existimo in sensu meo, væ qui derelicti fuerunt in diebus illis : et multo plus væ his qui non sunt derelicti.

17For they that were not left, were sorrowful.For they that were not leaft, were sorrowful.Qui enim non sunt derelicti, tristes erant.

18I understand now what things are laid up in the later days, and they shall happen to them, yea and to them that are left.I vnderstand now what thinges are layde vp in the later dayes, and they shal happen to them, yea and to them that are leaft.Intelligo nunc quæ sunt reposita in novissimis diebus, et occurrent eis, sed et his qui derelicti sunt.

19For therefore they came into great dangers, and many necessitates: needful things, requirements; distresses, straits, as these dreams do shew.For therefore they came into great dangers, and manie necessities, as these dreames do shew.Propter hoc venerunt enim in pericula magna, et necessitates multas, sicut ostendunt somnia hæc.

20But yet it is easier, adventuring to come into it, then to pass, as a cloud from the world, and now to see the things that happen in the later time. And he answered me, and said:But yet it is easier, aduenturing to come into it, then to passe, as a cloud from the world, and now to see the thinges that happen in the later time. And he answered me, and sayd:Attamen facilius est periclitantem venire in hunc quàm pertransire, sicut nubem a sæculo, et nunc videre quæ contingunt in novissimo. Et respondit ad me, et dixit :

21Both the interpretation of the vision I will tell thee: and also concerning the things that thou hast spoken I will open to thee.Both the interpretation of the vision I wil tel thee: and also concerning the thinges that thou hast spoken I wil open to thee.Et visionis interpretationem dicam tibi : et de quibus locutus es adaperiam tibi.

22Whereas thou speakest of them that were left, this is the interpretation.Wheras thou speakest of them that were leaft, this is the interpretation.Quoniam de his dixisti qui derelicti sunt : hæc est interpretatio.

23He that taketh away danger at that time, he hath guarded himself. They that have fallen into danger, these are they that have works, and faith in the Strongest.He that taketh away danger at that time, he hath garded himself. They that haue fallen into danger, these are they that haue workes, and fayth in the Strongest.Qui aufert periculum illo tempore, hic se custodivit. Qui in periculo inciderunt, hi sunt qui habent opera et fidem ad Fortissimum.

24Know therefore that they are more blessed which are left, then they that are dead.Know therefore that they are more blessed which are leaft, then they that are dead.Scito ergo quoniam magis beatificati sunt qui derelicti, super eos qui mortui sunt.

25These are the interpretations of the vision, whereas thou sawest a man coming from the heart of the sea,These are the interpretations of the vision, wheras thou saweft a man coming from the hart of the sea,Hæ interpretationes visionis, quia vidisti virum ascendentem de corde maris,

26the same is he whom the Highest preserveth much time, which by himself shall deliver his creature: and he shall dispose them that are left.the same is he whom the Highest preserueth much time, which by himself shal deliuer his creature: and he shal dispose them that are leaft.ipse est quem conservat Altissimus multis temporibus, qui per semetipsum liberabit creaturam suam : et ipse disponet, qui derelicti sunt.

27And whereas thou sawest proceed out of his mouth, as it were wind, and fire, and tempest:And wheras thou saweft proceede out of his mouth, as it were winde, and fire, and tempest:Et quoniam vidisti de ore ejus exire, ut spiritum, et ignem, et tempestatem :

28and whereas he held no sword, nor warlike instrument: for his violence destroyed the multitude that came to overthrow him: this is the interpretation.and wheras he held no sworde, nor warlike instrument: for his violence destroyed the multitude that came to ouerthrow him: this is the interpretation.et quoniam non tenebat frameam, neque vas bellicosum : corrupit enim impetus ejus multitudinem, quæ venerat expugnare eum. Hæc est interpretatio.

29Behold the days come, when the Highest shall begin to deliver them, that are upon the earth:Behold the dayes come, when the Highest shal begin to deliuer them, that are vpon the earth:Ecce dies veniunt, quando incipiet Altissimus liberare eos qui super terram sunt :

30and he shall come in excessu: superfluity, too much; ecstasy, rapture of mind of mind upon them that inhabit the earth.and he shal come in excesse of minde vpon them that inhabit the earth.et veniet in excessu mentis super eos qui inhabitant terram.

31And one shall think to overthrow another: one city another city, one place another place, andAnd one shal thinke to ouerthrow an other: one citie an other citie, one place an other place, andEt alii alios cogitabunt debellare : civitas civitatem, et locus locum, et gens adversus gentem, et regnum adversus regnum.

32nation against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And it shall be, when these things shall come to pass, and the signs shall happen, which I shewed thee before: and then shall my son be revealed, whom thou sawest, as a man coming up.nation against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And it shal be, when these thinges shal come to passe, and the signes shal happen, which I shewed thee before: and then shal my sonne be reueled, whom thou saweft, as a man coming vp.Et erit, cum fient hæc, et contingent signa quæ ante ostendi tibi : et tunc revelabitur filius meus, quem vidisti, ut virum ascendentem.

33And it shall be when all nations shall hear his voice: and every one in his country shall leave their war, that they have toward each other:And it shal be when al nations shal heare his voice: and euery one in his countrie shal leaue their warre, that they haue toward each other:Et erit, quando audierint omnes gentes vocem ejus : et derelinquet unusquisque in regione sua bellum suum, quod habent ad alterutrum :

34and an innumerable multitude shall be gathered in one, as willing to come to overthrow him.and an innumerable multitude shal be gathered in one, as willing to come to ouerthrow him.et colligetur in unum multitudo innumerabilis, sicut volentes venire, et expugnare eum.

35But he shall stand upon the top of mount Sion.But he shal stand vpon the top of mount Sion.Ipse autem stabit super cacumen montis Sion.

36And Sion shall come, and it shall be shewed to all prepared and builded, as thou sawest the mountain to be graven without hands.And Sion shal come, and it shal be shewed to al prepared and builded, as thou saweft the mountaine to be grauen without handes.Sion autem veniet, et ostendetur omnibus parata et ædificata, sicut vidisti montem sculpi sine manibus.

37And the same my son shall reprove the things that the gentiles have invented, these their impieties which came near to the tempest, because of their evil cogitations, and torments wherewith they shall begin to be tormented.And the same my sonne shal reproue the thinges that the gentils haue inuented, these their impieties which came nere to the tempest, because of their euil cogitations, and torments wherewith they shal begin to be tormented.Ipse autem filius meus arguet quæ adinvenerunt Gentes, impietates eorum has quæ tempestati appropinquaverunt propter mala cogitamenta eorum et cruciamenta quibus incipient cruciari :

38Which were likened to the flame, and he shall destroy them without labour by the law that was likened to the fire.Which were likened to the flame, and he shal destroy them without labour by the law that was likened to the fyre.quæ assimilatæ sunt flammæ, et perdet eos sine labore per legem quæ igni assimilata est.

39And whereas thou sawest him gathering unto him another peaceable multitude.And wheras thou saweft him gathering vnto him an other peaceable multitude.Et quoniam vidisti eum colligentem ad se aliam multitudinem pacificam,

40These are the ten tribes, which were made captive out of their land in the days of Osee the King, whom Salmanasar the King of the Assyrians led captive: and he transported them beyond the river, and they were transported into another land.These are the ten tribes, which were made captiue out of their land in the dayes of Osee the King, whom Salmanasar the King of the Assyrians led captiue: and he transported them beyond the riuer, and they were transported into an other land.hæ sunt decem tribus, quæ captivæ factæ sunt de terra sua in diebus Osee regis, quem captivum duxit Salmanasar rex Assyriorum : et transtulit eos trans flumen, et translati sunt in terram aliam.

41But they gave themselves this counsel, to forsake the multitude of nations, and to go forth into a farther country, where mankind never inhabited.But they gaue themselues this counsel, to forsake the multitude of nations, and to goe forth into a farther countrie, where mankind neuer inhabited.Ipsi autem sibi dederunt consilium hoc ut derelinquerent multitudinem gentium, et proficiscerentur in ulteriorem regionem ubi numquam inhabitavit genus humanum :

42Or there to observe their ordinances, which they had not kept in their country.Or there to obserue their ordinances, which they had not kept in their countrie.vel ibi observare legitima sua, quæ non fuerant servantes in regione sua.

43And they entered in by the narrow entrances of the river Euphrates.And they entred in by the narrow entrances of the riuer Euphrates.Per introitus autem angustos fluminis Euphraten introierunt.

44For the Highest then wrought them signs, and stayed the veins of the river till they passed.For the Highest then wrought them signes, and stayed the vaines of the riuer til they passed.Fecit enim eis tunc Altissimus signa, et statuit venas fluminis usquequo transirent.

45For by that country was a great way to go, of one year and a half: for the country is called Arsareth.For by that countrie was a great way to goe, of one yeare and a half: for the countrie is called Arsareth.Per eam enim regionem erat via multa itineris, anni unius et dimidii : nam regio illa vocatur Arsareth.

46Then did they inhabit there till in the later time: and now again when they begin to come,Then did they inhabite there til in the later time: and now againe when they beginne to come,Tunc inhabitaverunt ibi usque in novissimo tempore : et nunc iterum cum cœperint venire,

47again the Highest shall stay the veins of the river, that they may pass: for these thou sawest a multitude with peace.againe the Highest shal stay the vaines of the riuer, that they may passe: for these thou saweft a multitude with peace.iterum Altissimus statuet venas fluminis ut possint transire : propter hæc vidisti multitudinem cum pace.

48But they also that were left of the people, these are they that be within my border.But they also that were leaft of the people, these are they that be within my border.Sed et qui derelicti sunt de populo tuo, hi sunt qui inveniuntur intra terminum meum.

49It shall come to pass therefore, when he shall begin to destroy the multitude of these nations, that are gathered, he shall protect them that have overcome the people:It shal come to passe therefore, when he shal begine to destroy the multitude of these nations, that are gathered, he shal protect them that haue ouercome the people:Factum erit ergo, quando incipiet perdere multitudinem earum, quæ collectæ sunt gentes, proteget eos qui superaverunt populum :

50and then shall he shew them very many wonders.and then shal he shew them very manie wonders.et tunc ostendet eis multa plurima portenta.

51And I said: Lord Dominator: sovereign Lord, Ruler, shew me this, why I saw a man coming up from the heart of the sea, and he said to me:And I sayd: Lord dominatour, shew me this, why I saw a man comming vp from the hart of the sea, and he sayd to me:Et dixi ego, Dominator Domine, hoc mihi ostende, propter quod vidi virum ascendentem de corde maris. Et dixit mihi :

52As thou canst not either search these things, or know what things are in the depth of the sea: so can not any man upon the earth see my son, or them that are with him, but in the time of a day.As thou canst not either search these thinges, or know what thinges are in the depth of the sea: so can not any man vpon the earth see my sonne, or them that are with him, but in the time of a day.Sicut non potes hæc vel scrutari, vel scire quæ sunt in profundo maris : sic non poterit quisque super terram videre filium meum, vel eos qui cum eo sunt, nisi in tempore diei.

53This is the interpretation of the dream which thou sawest, and for the which thou only art here illuminated.This is the interpretation of the dreame which thou saweft, and for the which thou only art here illuminated.Hæc est interpretatio somnii quod vidisti, et propter quod illuminatus es hic solus.

54For thou hast left thine own law, and hast been occupied about my law, and hast sought it.For thou hast leaft thyne owne law, and hast bene occupied about my law, and hast sought it.Dereliquisti enim tuam, et circa meam vocasti legem, et quæsisti.

55For thou hast disposed thy life in wisdom, and thine understanding thou hast called mother:For thou hast disposed thy lyfe in wisdom, and thyne vnderstanding thou hast called mother:Vitam enim tuam disposuisti in sapientia, et sensum tuum vocasti matrem :

56and for this I have shewed thee riches with the Highest. For it shall be after other three days, I will speak other things to thee, and I will expound to thee weighty and marvellous things.and for this I haue shewed thee riches with the Highest. For it shal be after other three dayes, I wil speake other thinges to thee, and I wil expound to thee weightie and meruelous thinges.et propter hoc ostendi tibi merces apud Altissimum. Erit enim post alios tres dies, ad te alia loquar, et exponam tibi gravia et mirabilia.

57And I went forth, and passed into the field, much glorifying and praising the Highest for the marvellous things that he did by time.And I went forth, and passed into the fielde, much glorifying & praising the Highest for the meruelous thinges that he did by time.Et profectus sum, et transii in campum, multum glorificans et laudans Altissimum de mirabilibus quæ per tempus faciebat :

58And because he governeth it, and the things that are brought in times, and I sat there three days.And because he gouerneth it, and the thinges that are brought in times, & I sate there three dayes.et quoniam gubernat ipsum, et quæ sunt in temporibus illata, et sedi ibi tribus diebus.
