The first & second part of the Secret of Fatima Provided by the Vatican, actually only contains the first of three secrets.

Vatican English Translation…
… This will entail my speaking about the secret, and thus answering the first question.
What is the secret? It seems to me that I can reveal it, since I already have permission from Heaven to do so. God’s representatives on earth have authorized me to do this several times and in various letters, one of which, I believe, is in your keeping. This letter is from Father Jose Bernardo Gonçalves, and in it he advises me to write to the Holy Father, suggesting, among other things, that I should reveal the secret. I did say something about it. But in order not to make my letter too long, since I was told to keep it short, I confined myself to the essentials, leaving it to God to provide another more favourable opportunity.
In my second account I have already described in detail the doubt which tormented me from 13 June until 13 July, and how it disappeared completely during the Apparition on that day.
Well, the secret is made up of three distinct parts, two of which I am now going to reveal.
The first part is the vision of hell.
Our Lady showed us a great sea of fire which seemed to be under the earth. Plunged in this fire were demons and souls in human form, like transparent burning embers, all blackened or burnished bronze, floating about in the conflagration, now raised into the air by the flames that issued from within themselves together with great clouds of smoke, now falling back on every side like sparks in a huge fire, without weight or equilibrium, and amid shrieks and groans of pain and despair, which horrified us and made us tremble with fear. The demons could be distinguished by their terrifying and repulsive likeness to frightful and unknown animals, all black and transparent. This vision lasted but an instant. How can we ever be grateful enough to our kind heavenly Mother, who had already prepared us by promising, in the first Apparition, to take us to heaven. Otherwise, I think we would have died of fear and terror.
We then looked up at Our Lady, who said to us so kindly and so sadly:
«You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved and there will be peace. The war is going to end: but if people do not cease offending God, a worse one will break out during the Pontificate of Pius XI. When you see a night illumined by an unknown light, know that this is the great sign given you by God that he is about to punish the world for its crimes, by means of war, famine, and persecutions of the Church and of the Holy Father. To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart, and the Communion of reparation on the First Saturdays. If my requests are heeded, Russia will be converted, and there will be peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred; the Holy Father will have much to suffer; various nations will be annihilated. In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, and she shall be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world».

Commentary
The translation of the Portuguese is poor and inaccurate, as an example, the Vatican’s translator, the traitor that he is, writes:
Well, the secret is made up of three distinct parts, two of which I am now going to reveal.
The first part is the vision of hell.
What it actually says is;
The secret consists of three distinct things, two of which I’m going to reveal.
The first was the sight of Hell.
The first thing to notice is the phrase, “..the vision of hell”, a vision is something seen in the minds eye, the words that sister Lucia says is “…a vista do inferno“, the sight of Hell! The Children were not just shown a vision in their mind, they were actually shown, they saw it with their own eyes, Hell and the souls that go there!
The Portuguese word for vision is visão, the Portuguese word for sight/seeing is vista.
Below is the translation in Portuguese as it is widely circulated in Portuguese speaking lands:
… The secret consists of three distinct things, two of which I’m going to reveal.
The first was the sight of hell.
Our Lady showed us a great sea of fire that seemed to be under the earth. Immersed in this fire were the demons and souls, as if they were transparent, black or bronze embers with a human shape, floating in the fire, carried by the flames that came out of them, together with clouds of smoke, falling everywhere, similar to the falling sparks in great fires, weightless and unbalanced, amid cries and groans of pain and despair that horrified us and made us shudder with fear.
The demons could be distinguished by their hideous, acrid forms of amazing, unknown animals, but transparent and black. This sight lasted a moment, and thanks to our good heavenly Mother, who had warned us beforehand with her promise to take us to heaven (in the first apparition), if it hadn’t been for that, I think we would have died of fright and fear.
Then we looked up at Our Lady, who said to us with kindness and sadness: “You have seen hell, where the souls of poor sinners go, in order to save them, God wants to establish devotion to my Immaculate Heart in the world.
If you do what I say, many souls will be saved and you will have peace. The war will end, but if you don’t stop offending God, a worse one will begin during the reign of Pius XI. When you see a night illuminated by an unknown light, know that it is the great sign that God is giving you that he is going to punish the world for its crimes, through war, famine and persecution of the Church and the Holy Father.
To stop it, I will come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and for communion of reparation on the first Saturdays. If you heed my requests, Russia will convert and you will have peace, if not, it will spread its errors throughout the world, promoting wars and persecutions of the Church, the good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have a lot to suffer, several nations will be annihilated, and finally my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, which will be converted, and the world will be granted some time of peace.
