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 appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon was under her feet, and on her head was a crown of twelve stars.
2 A jsuci těhotná, křičela, pracujici ku porodu a trápěci se, aby porodila.
And being with child, she cried out while giving birth, and she was suffering in order to give birth.
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 another sign was seen in heaven. And behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads were seven diadems.
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 drew down a third part of the stars of heaven and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman, who was about to give birth, so that, when she had brought forth, he might devour her son.
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 brought forth a male child, who was soon to rule all the nations with an iron rod. And her son was taken up to God and to his throne.
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 fled into solitude, where a place was being held ready by God, so that they might pasture her in that place for one 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 a great battle in heaven. Michael and his Angels were battling with the dragon, and the dragon was fighting, and so were his angels.
8 Ale nic neobdrželi, aniž jest nalezeno více místo jejich na nebi.
But they did not prevail, and a place for them was no longer found 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 he was thrown out, that great dragon, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, who seduces the whole world. And he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were cast 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 I heard a great voice in heaven, saying: “Now have arrived salvation and virtue and the kingdom of our God and the power of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers has been cast down, he who accused them before our God day and night.
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 by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of his testimony. And they loved not their own lives, even unto 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.
Because of this, rejoice, O heavens, and all who dwell within it. Woe to the earth and to the sea! For the devil has descended to you, holding great anger, knowing that he has little time.”
13 A když uzřel drak, že jest svržen na zem, honil ženu tu, kteráž porodila toho pacholíka.
And after the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who brought forth 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 the two wings of a great eagle were given to the woman, so that she might fly away, into the desert, to her place, where she is being nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
15 I vypustil had z úst svých po ženě vodu jako řeku, aby ji řeka zachvátila.
And the serpent sent out from his mouth, after the woman, water like a river, so that he might cause her to be carried away by the river.
16 Ale země pomohla ženě; neb otevřela země ústa svá a požřela řeku, kterouž vypustil drak z úst svých.
But the earth assisted the woman. And the earth opened her mouth and absorbed the river, which the dragon sent out from 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 at the woman. And so he went away to do battle with the remainder of her offspring, those who keep the commandments of God and who hold to the testimony of Jesus Christ.
