< Revelation 12 >

1 And a great sign was seen in heaven: a woman arrayed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars;
وَظَهَرَتْ فِي السَّمَاءِ آيَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ: امْرَأَةٌ لابِسَةٌ الشَّمْسَ، وَالْقَمَرُ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيْهَا، وَعَلَى رَأْسِهَا تَاجٌ مِنِ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ نَجْماً.١
2 and she was with child; and she crieth out, travailing in birth, and in pain to be delivered.
وَكَانَتْ حُبْلَى تَصْرُخُ مِنْ أَلَمِ الْوِلادَةِ وَتَتَوَجَّعُ وَهِيَ تَلِدُ.٢
3 And there was seen another sign in heaven: and behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven diadems.
وَظَهَرَتْ فِي السَّمَاءِ آيَةٌ أُخْرَى: تِنِّينٌ عَظِيمٌ أَحْمَرُ لَهُ سَبْعَةُ رُؤُوسٍ، عَلَى كُلٍّ مِنْهَا تَاجٌ، وَلَهُ عَشَرَةُ قُرُونٍ،٣
4 And his tail draweth the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon standeth before the woman that is about to be delivered, that when she is delivered he may devour her child.
فَسَحَبَ بِذَيْلِهِ ثُلْثَ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ وَأَلْقَاهَا إِلَى الأَرْضِ. ثُمَّ وَقَفَ التِّنِّينُ أَمَامَ الْمَرْأَةِ وَهِيَ تَلِدُ، لِيَبْتَلِعَ طِفْلَهَا بَعْدَ أَنْ تَلِدَهُ!٤
5 And she was delivered of a son, a man child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and unto his throne.
وَوَلَدَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ ابْناً ذَكَراً، وَهُوَ الَّذِي سَيَحْكُمُ الأُمَمَ كُلَّهَا بِعَصاً مِنْ حَدِيدٍ. وَرُفِعَ الطِّفْلُ إِلَى حَضْرَةِ اللهِ وَإِلَى عَرْشِهِ.٥
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that there they may nourish her a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
أَمَّا الْمَرْأَةُ فَهَرَبَتْ إِلَى الْبَرِّيَّةِ، حَيْثُ أَعدَّ اللهُ لَهَا مَكَاناً تُعَالُ فِيهِ مُدَّةَ أَلْفٍ وَمِئَتَيْنِ وَسِتِّينَ يَوْماً.٦
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels [going forth] to war with the dragon; and the dragon warred and his angels;
وَنَشِبَتْ حَرْبٌ فِي السَّمَاءِ، إِذْ هَاجَمَ مِيخَائِيلُ وَمَلائِكَتُهُ التِّنِّينَ وَمَلائِكَتَهُ،٧
8 and they prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven.
وَحَارَبَ التِّنِّينُ وَمَلائِكَتُهُ، لَكِنَّهُمُ انْهَزَمُوا وَلَمْ يَبْقَ لَهُمْ مَكَانٌ فِي السَّمَاءِ،٨
9 And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, he that is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him.
إِذْ طُرِحُوا إِلَى الأَرْضِ. هَذَا التِّنِّينُ الْعَظِيمُ هُوَ الْحَيَّةُ الْقَدِيمَةُ، وَيُسَمَّى إِبْلِيسَ وَالشَّيْطَانَ الَّذِي يُضَلِّلُ الْعَالَمَ كُلَّهُ.٩
10 And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, 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 accuseth them before our God day and night.
ثُمَّ سَمِعْتُ صَوْتاً عَالِياً فِي السَّمَاءِ يَقُولُ: «الآنَ تَمَّ خَلاصُ إِلَهِنَا، وَآلَتِ الْقُدْرَةِ وَالْمُلْكُ إِلَيْهِ وَالسُّلْطَانُ إِلَى مَسِيحِهِ! فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ طُرِحَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الْمُشْتَكِي الَّذِي يَتَّهِمُ إِخْوَتَنَا أَمَامَ إِلهِنَا لَيْلاً وَنَهَاراً.١٠
11 And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony; and they loved not their life even unto death.
وَهُمْ قَدِ انْتَصَرُوا عَلَيْهِ بِدَمِ الْحَمَلِ وَبِالْكَلِمَةِ الَّتِي شَهِدُوا لَهَا، فَلَمْ تَكُنْ حَيَاتُهُمْ عَزِيزَةً لَدَيْهِمْ، حَتَّى إِنَّهُمْ مَاتُوا.١١
12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe for the earth and for the sea: because the devil is gone down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time.
افْرَحِي أَيَّتُهَا السَّمَاوَاتُ، وافْرَحُوا يَا أَهْلَهَا، الْوَيْلُ لَكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ الأَرْضِ وَالْبَحْرِ، لأَنَّ إِبْلِيسَ هَبَطَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَهُوَ فِي شِدَّةِ الْغَضَبِ، عَالِماً أَنَّ أَيَّامَهُ صَارَتْ مَعْدُودَةً».١٢
13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast down to the earth, he persecuted the woman that brought forth the man [child].
وَعِنْدَمَا وَجَدَ التِّنِّينُ أَنَّهُ طُرِحَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ، أَخَذَ يُطَارِدُ الْمَرْأَةَ الَّتِي وَلَدَتِ الطِّفْلَ الذَّكَرَ،١٣
14 And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness unto her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
فَأُعْطِيَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ جَنَاحَيِ النَّسْرِ الْعَظِيمِ، لِتَطِيرَ بِهِمَا إِلَى الْبَرِّيَّةِ، إِلَى الْمَكَانِ الْمُجَهَّزِ لَهَا، حَيْثُ تُعَالُ بِمَأْمَنٍ مِنَ الْحَيَّةِ، مُدَّةَ ثَلاثِ سَنَوَاتٍ وَنِصْفِ السَّنَةِ.١٤
15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth after the woman water as a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream.
وَأَخْرَجَتِ الْحَيَّةُ مِنْ جَوْفِهَا خَلْفَ الْمَرْأَةِ مَا يُشْبِهُ النَّهْرَ لِتُغْرِقَهَا فِيهِ،١٥
16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
وَلكِنَّ الأَرْضَ أَعَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةَ، فَفَتَحَتْ فَمَهَا وَابْتَلَعَتِ النَّهْرَ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَهُ التِّنِّينُ مِنْ فَمِهِ!١٦
17 And the dragon waxed wroth with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, that keep the commandments of God, and hold the testimony of Jesus:
فَاغْتَاظَ التِّنِّينُ مِنَ الْمَرْأَةِ وَشَنَّ حَرْباً عَلَى بَاقِي أَوْلادِهَا الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ بِوَصَايَا اللهِ وَعِنْدَهُمُ الشَّهَادَةُ لِيَسُوعَ.١٧
