Otkrivenje 12
1 I znamenje veliko pokaza se na nebu: Žena odjevena suncem, mjesec joj pod nogama, a na glavi vijenac od dvanaest zvijezda.
And a great sign was seen in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a diadem of twelve stars.
2 Trudna viče u porođajnim bolima i mukama rađanja.
She was with child; and she cried out, travailing in birth, in anguish to be delivered.
3 I pokaza se drugo znamenje na nebu: gle, Zmaj velik, ognjen, sa sedam glava i deset rogova; na glavama mu sedam kruna,
And another sign was seen in heaven; and lo, a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and upon his head seven diadems.
4 a rep mu povlači trećinu zvijezda nebeskih - i obori ih na zemlju. Zmaj stade pred Ženu koja imaše roditi da joj, čim rodi, proždre Dijete.
His tail drew a third part of the stars of the sky, and dashed them down to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman about to be delivered, so that he might devour her child when she was delivered.
5 I ona porodi sina, muškića, koji će vladati svim narodima palicom gvozdenom. I Dijete njeno bi uzeto k Bogu i prijestolju njegovu.
And she gave birth to a son, a man child, who is to shepherd all the nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up unto God and unto his throne.
6 A Žena pobježe u pustinju gdje joj Bog pripravi sklonište da se ondje hrani tisuću dvjesta i šezdeset dana.
And the woman fled into the desert, where she has a place prepared by God, in which she is to be nourished for a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
7 I nasta rat na nebu: Mihael i njegovi anđeli zarate se sa Zmajem. Zmaj uđe u rat i anđeli njegovi,
And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels went forth to war with the dragon; and the dragon also fought, and his angels;
8 ali ne nadvlada. I ne bijaše im više mjesta na nebu.
but they failed, nor was their place found any more in heaven.
9 Zbačen je Zmaj veliki, Stara zmija - imenom Ðavao, Sotona, zavodnik svega svijeta. Bačen je na zemlju, a s njime su bačeni i anđeli njegovi.
Now the great dragon was thrown down - that old Serpent, he who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
10 I začujem glas na nebu silan: “Sada nasta spasenje i snaga i kraljevstvo Boga našega i vlast Pomazanika njegova! Jer zbačen je tužitelj braće naše koji ih je dan i noć optuživao pred Bogom našim.
And I heard a great voice in heaven, which said. "Now it is come! the salvation and the power, The kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ! For the accuser of our brethren is thrown down, Who accused them before our God, day and night.
11 Ali oni ga pobijediše krvlju Jaganjčevom i riječju svojega svjedočanstva: nisu ljubili života svoga - sve do smrti.
And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb, And by the word of their testimony; And they loved not their life, even unto death.
12 Zato veselite se, nebesa i svi nebesnici! A jao vama, zemljo i more, jer Ðavao siđe k vama, gnjevan veoma, znajući da ima malo vremena!”
Therefore rejoice, O heavens, And you who dwell therein! Woe to the earth and the sea! For the devil has gone down to you in great fury, Because he knows that he has but little time."
13 Kad Zmaj vidje da je zbačen na zemlju, stade progoniti Ženu koja rodi muškića.
When the dragon saw that he was hurled down to the earth, he pursued the woman who gave birth to the man child.
14 No Ženi bijahu dana dva velika krila orlujska da odleti u pustinju, u svoje sklonište gdje se, sklonjena od Zmije, hrani jedno vrijeme i dva vremena i polovicu vremena.
But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle, so that she might fly into the desert to her place where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
15 I Zmija iz usta pusti za Ženom vodu poput rijeke da je rijeka odnese.
And the serpent poured water from his mouth after the woman, water like a river, so that he might cause her to be carried off by the stream.
16 Ali zemlja priteče u pomoć Ženi: otvori usta i popi rijeku što je Zmaj pusti iz usta.
But the earth came to the rescue of the woman and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the river that the dragon had poured forth from his mouth.
17 I razgnjevi se Zmaj na Ženu pa ode i zarati se s ostatkom njezina potomstva, s onima što čuvaju Božje zapovijedi i drže svjedočanstvo Isusovo.
And the dragon was enraged at the woman, and went away to make war upon the rest of her children who keep the commandments of God, and hold fast the testimony of Jesus. And he stood upon the sand of the sea.
