Revelation 12
1 And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed in the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head.
Et signum magnum apparuit in cælo: Mulier amicta sole, et luna sub pedibus eius, et in capite eius corona stellarum duodecim:
2 She was pregnant and crying out in the pain and agony of giving birth.
et in utero habens, clamabat parturiens, et cruciabatur ut pariat.
3 Then another sign appeared in heaven: a huge red dragon with seven heads, ten horns, and seven royal crowns on his heads.
Et visum est aliud signum in cælo: et ecce draco magnus rufus habens capita septem, et cornua decem: et in capitibus eius diademata septem,
4 His tail swept a third of the stars from the sky, tossing them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, ready to devour her child as soon as she gave birth.
et cauda eius trahebat tertiam partem stellarum cæli, et misit eas in terram, et draco stetit ante mulierem, quæ erat paritura: ut cum peperisset, filium eius devoraret.
5 And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who will rule all the nations with an iron scepter. And her child was caught up to God and to His throne.
Et peperit filium masculum, qui recturus erat omnes Gentes in virga ferrea: et raptus est filius eius ad Deum, et ad thronum eius,
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where God had prepared a place for her to be nourished for 1,260 days.
et mulier fugit in solitudinem ubi habebat locum paratum a Deo, ut ibi pascant eam diebus mille ducentis sexaginta.
7 Then a war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back.
Et factum est prælium magnum in cælo: Michael et angeli eius præliabantur cum dracone, et draco pugnabat, et angeli eius:
8 But the dragon was not strong enough, and no longer was any place found in heaven for him and his angels.
et non valuerunt, neque locus inventus est eorum amplius in cælo.
9 And the great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.
Et proiectus est draco ille magnus, serpens antiquus, qui vocatur diabolus, et satanas, qui seducit universum orbem: et proiectus est in terram, et angeli eius cum illo missi sunt.
10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven saying: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of His Christ. For the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down— he who accuses them day and night before our God.
Et audivi vocem magnam in cælo dicentem: Nunc facta est salus, et virtus, et regnum Dei nostri, et potestas Christi eius: quia proiectus est accusator fratrum nostrorum, qui accusabat illos ante conspectum Dei nostri die ac nocte.
11 They have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony. And they did not love their lives so as to shy away from death.
Et ipsi vicerunt eum propter sanguinem Agni, et propter verbum testimonii sui, et non dilexerunt animas suas usque ad mortem.
12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea; with great fury the devil has come down to you, knowing he has only a short time.”
propterea lætamini cæli, et qui habitatis in eis. Væ terræ, et mari, quia descendit diabolus ad vos, habens iram magnam, sciens quod modicum tempus habet.
13 And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.
Et postquam vidit draco quod proiectus esset in terram, persecutus est mulierem, quæ peperit masculum:
14 But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle to fly from the presence of the serpent to her place in the wilderness, where she was nourished for a time, and times, and half a time.
et datæ sunt mulieri alæ duæ aquilæ magnæ ut volaret in desertum in locum suum, ubi alitur per tempus et tempora, et dimidium temporis a facie serpentis.
15 Then from the mouth of the serpent spewed water like a river to overtake the woman and sweep her away in the torrent.
Et misit serpens ex ore suo post mulierem, aquam tamquam flumen, ut eam faceret trahi a flumine.
16 But the earth helped the woman and opened its mouth to swallow up the river that had poured from the dragon’s mouth.
Et adiuvit terra mulierem, et aperuit terra os suum, et absorbuit flumen, quod misit draco de ore suo.
17 And the dragon was enraged at the woman, and went to make war with the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. And the dragon stood on the shore of the sea.
Et iratus est draco in mulierem: et abiit facere prælium cum reliquis de semine eius, qui custodiunt mandata Dei, et habent testimonium Iesu Christi.
