Aabenbaringen 12
1 Og et stort Tegn blev set i Himmelen: En Kvinde, iklædt Solen og med Maanen under sine Fødder og en Krans af tolv Stjerner paa sit Hoved.
And there appeared a great sign in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars.
2 Og hun var frugtsommelig og skreg i Barnsnød, under Fødselsveer.
And being with child, she cried out in travail, labouring to be delivered.
3 Og et andet Tegn blev set i Himmelen, og se, der var en stor, ildrød Drage, som havde syv Hoveder og ti Horn og paa sine Hoveder syv Kroner.
And there appeared another sign in heaven, and behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns; and upon his heads seven crowns.
4 Og dens Hale drog Tredjedelen af Himmelens Stjerner med sig og kastede dem paa Jorden. Og Dragen stod foran Kvinden, som skulde føde, for at sluge hendes Barn, naar hun havde født det.
And his tail drew a third part of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman, who was ready to bring forth, that when she was delivered, he might devour her child.
5 Og hun fødte et Drengebarn, som skal vogte alle Folkeslagene med en Jernstav; og hendes Barn blev bortrykket til Gud og til hans Trone.
And she brought forth a male child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
6 Og Kvinden flyede ud i Ørkenen, hvor hun har et Sted beredt fra Gud, for at man skal ernære hende der eet Tusinde, to Hundrede og tresindstyve Dage.
And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they might nourish her there a thousand two hundred and sixty days.
7 Og der blev en Kamp i Himmelen: Mikael og hans Engle gave sig til at kæmpe imod Dragen, og Dragen kæmpede og dens Engle.
And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels fought against the dragon: and the dragon fought, and his angels;
8 Men de magtede det ikke, og deres Sted fandtes ikke mere i Himmelen.
but these prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 Og den store Drage blev nedstyrtet; den gamle Slange, som kaldes Djævelen og Satan, som forfører den hele Verden, blev nedstyrtet paa Jorden, og hans Engle bleve nedstyrtede med ham.
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the devil and Satan, who deceiveth the whole world: he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him.
10 Og jeg hørte en høj Røst i Himmelen sige: Nu er Frelsen og Kraften og Riget blevet vor Guds, og Magten hans Salvedes; thi nedstyrtet er vore Brødres Anklager, som anklagede dem for vor Gud Dag og Nat.
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accused them before our God day and night.
11 Og de have overvundet ham i Kraft af Lammets Blod og i Kraft af deres Vidnesbyrds Ord; og de elskede ikke deres Liv, lige til Døden.
And they have overcome him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony, and they loved not their life unto the death.
12 Derfor, fryder eder, I Himle, og I, som bo i dem! Ve Jorden og Havet! thi Djævelen er nedstegen til eder og har stor Vrede, fordi han ved, at han kun har liden Tid.
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them: but wo to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea; for the devil is come down to you, in great rage, knowing that he hath but a short time.
13 Og da Dragen saa, at den var styrtet til Jorden, forfulgte den Kvinden, som havde født Drengebarnet.
Now when the dragon saw that he was cast down to the earth, he persecuted the woman that brought forth the male-child:
14 Og den store Ørns tvende Vinger bleve givne Kvinden, for at hun skulde flyve til Ørkenen, til sit Sted, der hvor hun næres en Tid og Tider og en halv Tid, borte fra Slangen.
and there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is to be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
15 Og Slangen spyede Vand som en Flod ud af sin Mund efter Kvinden for at bortskylle hende med Floden.
And the serpent threw water out of his mouth, like a river, after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood.
16 Og Jorden kom Kvinden til Hjælp; og Jorden aabnede sin Mund og opslugte Floden, som Dragen havde udspyet af sin Mund.
But the earth helped the woman, and opened it's mouth, and swallowed up the flood, which the dragon threw out of his mouth.
17 Og Dragen vrededes paa Kvinden og gik bort for at føre Krig imod de øvrige af hendes Sæd, dem, som holde Guds Bud og have Jesu Vidnesbyrd.
Then the dragon was enraged against the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and who have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
