Zjevení Janovo 12
1 I ukázal se div veliký na nebi: Žena oděná sluncem, pod jejímiž nohama byl měsíc a na jejíž hlavě byla koruna dvanácti hvězd.
And a great sign was seen in heaven: a A woman clothed with the sun, and with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
2 A jsuci těhotná, křičela, pracujici ku porodu a trápěci se, aby porodila.
And she was with child; and she gave a cry, in the pains of childbirth.
3 I vidín jest jiný div na nebi. Nebo aj, drak veliký ryšavý ukázal se, maje hlav sedm a rohů deset, a na těch hlavách svých sedm korun.
And there was seen another sign in heaven; a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven crowns.
4 Jehož ocas strhl třetinu hvězd s nebe, a svrhl je na zem. Ten pak drak stál před ženou, kteráž měla poroditi, aby hned, jakž by porodila, syna jejího sežral.
And his tail was pulling a third part of the stars of heaven down to the earth, and the dragon took his place before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when the birth had taken place he might put an end to her child.
5 I porodila syna pacholíka, kterýž měl spravovati všecky národy prutem železným. I vytržen jest syn její k Bohu a k trůnu jeho.
And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who was to have rule over all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was taken up to God and to his high seat.
6 A žena utekla na poušť, kdež měla místo od Boha připravené, aby ji tam živili za dnů tisíc dvě stě a šedesát.
And the woman went in flight to the waste land, where she has a place made ready by God, so that there they may give her food a thousand, two hundred and sixty days.
7 I stal se boj na nebi: Michal a andělé jeho bojovali s drakem, a drak bojoval i andělé jeho.
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels going out to the fight with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels made war,
8 Ale nic neobdrželi, aniž jest nalezeno více místo jejich na nebi.
And they were overcome, and there was no more place for them in heaven.
9 I svržen jest drak ten veliký, had starý, jenž slove ďábel a satanáš, kterýž svodí všecken okršlek světa; svržen jest, pravím, na zem, i andělé jeho s ním svrženi jsou.
And the great dragon was forced down, the old snake, who is named the Evil One and Satan, by whom all the earth is turned from the right way; he was forced down to the earth, and his angels were forced down with him.
10 A uslyšel jsem hlas veliký, řkoucí na nebi: Nyní stalo se spasení, a moc, i království Boha našeho, a moc Krista jeho; nebo svržen jest žalobník bratří našich, kterýž žaloval na ně před obličejem Boha našeho dnem i nocí.
And a great voice in heaven came to my ears, saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: because he who says evil against our brothers before our God day and night is forced down.
11 Ale oni zvítězili nad ním skrze krev Beránka, a skrze slovo svědectví svého, a nemilovali duší svých až do smrti.
And they overcame him through the blood of the Lamb and the word of their witness; and loving not their lives they freely gave themselves up to death.
12 Protož veselte se nebesa, a kteříž přebýváte v nich. Běda těm, jenž přebývají na zemi a na moři; nebo ďábel sstoupil k vám, maje hněv veliký, věda, že krátký čas má.
Be glad then, O heavens, and you who are in them. But there is trouble for the earth and the sea: because the Evil One has come down to you, being very angry, having the knowledge that he has but a short time.
13 A když uzřel drak, že jest svržen na zem, honil ženu tu, kteráž porodila toho pacholíka.
And when the dragon saw that he was forced down to the earth, he made cruel attacks on the woman who gave birth to the male child.
14 Ale dána jsou ženě dvě křídla orlice veliké, aby letěla od tváři hada na poušť, na místo své, kdež by ji živili do času a časů, a do půl času.
And there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle, so that she might go in flight into the waste land, to her place, where she is given food for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the snake.
15 I vypustil had z úst svých po ženě vodu jako řeku, aby ji řeka zachvátila.
And the snake sent out of his mouth after the woman a river of water, so that she might be taken away by the stream.
16 Ale země pomohla ženě; neb otevřela země ústa svá a požřela řeku, kterouž vypustil drak z úst svých.
And the earth gave help to the woman, and with open mouth took up the river which the dragon sent out of his mouth.
17 I rozhněval se drak na tu ženu, a šel bojovati s jinými z semene jejího, kteříž ostříhají přikázání Božích a mají svědectví Ježíše Krista.
And the dragon was angry with the woman and went away to make war on the rest of her seed, who keep the orders of God, and the witness of Jesus:
