< Revelation 12 >

1 And a great sign was seen in the heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars;
Maka tampaklah suatu tanda besar di langit: Seorang perempuan berselubungkan matahari, dengan bulan di bawah kakinya dan sebuah mahkota dari dua belas bintang di atas kepalanya.
2 and being with child she cried, [being] in travail, and in pain to bring forth.
Ia sedang mengandung dan dalam keluhan dan penderitaannya hendak melahirkan ia berteriak kesakitan.
3 And another sign was seen in the heaven: and behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven diadems;
Maka tampaklah suatu tanda yang lain di langit; dan lihatlah, seekor naga merah padam yang besar, berkepala tujuh dan bertanduk sepuluh, dan di atas kepalanya ada tujuh mahkota.
4 and his tail draws the third part of the stars of the heaven; and he cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to bring forth, in order that when she brought forth he might devour her child.
Dan ekornya menyeret sepertiga dari bintang-bintang di langit dan melemparkannya ke atas bumi. Dan naga itu berdiri di hadapan perempuan yang hendak melahirkan itu, untuk menelan Anaknya, segera sesudah perempuan itu melahirkan-Nya.
5 And she brought forth a male son, who shall shepherd all the nations with an iron rod; and her child was caught up to God and to his throne.
Maka ia melahirkan seorang Anak laki-laki, yang akan menggembalakan semua bangsa dengan gada besi; tiba-tiba Anaknya itu dirampas dan dibawa lari kepada Allah dan ke takhta-Nya.
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has there a place prepared of God, that they should nourish her there a thousand two hundred [and] sixty days.
Perempuan itu lari ke padang gurun, di mana telah disediakan suatu tempat baginya oleh Allah, supaya ia dipelihara di situ seribu dua ratus enam puluh hari lamanya.
7 And there was war in the heaven: Michael and his angels went to war with the dragon. And the dragon fought, and his angels;
Maka timbullah peperangan di sorga. Mikhael dan malaikat-malaikatnya berperang melawan naga itu, dan naga itu dibantu oleh malaikat-malaikatnya,
8 and he prevailed not, nor was their place found any more in the heaven.
tetapi mereka tidak dapat bertahan; mereka tidak mendapat tempat lagi di sorga.
9 And the great dragon was cast out, the ancient serpent, he who is called Devil and Satan, he who deceives the whole habitable world, he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Dan naga besar itu, si ular tua, yang disebut Iblis atau Satan, yang menyesatkan seluruh dunia, dilemparkan ke bawah; ia dilemparkan ke bumi, bersama-sama dengan malaikat-malaikatnya.
10 And I heard a great voice in the 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 has been cast out, who accused them before our God day and night:
Dan aku mendengar suara yang nyaring di sorga berkata: "Sekarang telah tiba keselamatan dan kuasa dan pemerintahan Allah kita, dan kekuasaan Dia yang diurapi-Nya, karena telah dilemparkan ke bawah pendakwa saudara-saudara kita, yang mendakwa mereka siang dan malam di hadapan Allah kita.
11 and they have overcome him by reason of the blood of the Lamb, and by reason of the word of their testimony, and have not loved their life even unto death.
Dan mereka mengalahkan dia oleh darah Anak Domba, dan oleh perkataan kesaksian mereka. Karena mereka tidak mengasihi nyawa mereka sampai ke dalam maut.
12 Therefore be full of delight, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the earth and to the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great rage, knowing he has a short time.
Karena itu bersukacitalah, hai sorga dan hai kamu sekalian yang diam di dalamnya, celakalah kamu, hai bumi dan laut! karena Iblis telah turun kepadamu, dalam geramnya yang dahsyat, karena ia tahu, bahwa waktunya sudah singkat."
13 And when the dragon saw that he had been cast out into the earth, he persecuted the woman which bore the male [child].
Dan ketika naga itu sadar, bahwa ia telah dilemparkan di atas bumi, ia memburu perempuan yang melahirkan Anak laki-laki itu.
14 And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the desert into her place, where she is nourished there a time, and times, and half a time, from [the] face of the serpent.
Kepada perempuan itu diberikan kedua sayap dari burung nasar yang besar, supaya ia terbang ke tempatnya di padang gurun, di mana ia dipelihara jauh dari tempat ular itu selama satu masa dan dua masa dan setengah masa.
15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth behind the woman water as a river, that he might make her be [as] one carried away by a river.
Lalu ular itu menyemburkan dari mulutnya air, sebesar sungai, ke arah perempuan itu, supaya ia dihanyutkan sungai itu.
16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
Tetapi bumi datang menolong perempuan itu. Ia membuka mulutnya, dan menelan sungai yang disemburkan naga itu dari mulutnya.
17 And the dragon was angry with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus.
Maka marahlah naga itu kepada perempuan itu, lalu pergi memerangi keturunannya yang lain, yang menuruti hukum-hukum Allah dan memiliki kesaksian Yesus.
