huc geminas nunc flecte acies, hanc aspice gentem
Romanosque tuos.
Now turn your twin eyes to this place (and) look on this people and your Romans.
hic Caesar et omnis Iuli progenies magnum caeli ventura sub axem.
Here (is) Caesar and all the offspring of Iulus about to come under the great axis of the sky.
hic vir, hic est, tibi quem promitti saepius audis,
This is the man, this is (he) whom you so often hear promised to you,
Augustus Caesar, divi genus, aurea condet saecula qui rursus Latio
Augustus Caesar, born from a god, he will found a golden age again in Latium
regnata per arva Saturno quondam, super et Garamantas et Indos proferet imperium;
through the fields once ruled by Saturn, and he will extend the empire beyond the Garamants and the Indians;
iacet extra sidera tellus, extra anni solisque vias,
the land lies beyond the stars, beyond the paths of the year and sun,
ubi caelifer Atlas axem umero torquet stellis ardentibus aptum.
where sky-bearing Atlas twists the sphere with blazing stars fitted on his shoulder.
huius in adventum iam nunc et Caspia regna
responsis horrent divum et Maeotia tellus,
Even now, the Caspian kingdoms and the Maeotian land tremble at the arrival of this man by the replies of the gods,
et septemgemini turbant trepida ostia Nili.
and the restless mouths of the seven-branched Nile are disturbed.
