< Revelation 12 >

1 And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars:
Yon gwo sign te vin parèt nan syèl la: yon fanm abiye avèk solèy la, ak lalin nan anba pye li, e sou tèt li, yon kouwòn douz etwal.
2 And being with child, she cried travailing in birth, and was in pain to be delivered.
Li te gwo ansent e te kriye fò ak tranche ak doulè pou l akouche.
3 And there was seen another sign in heaven: and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads, and ten horns: and on his head seven diadems:
Answit, yon lòt sign te parèt nan syèl la. Gade byen, yon gwo dragon wouj avèk sèt tèt ak dis kòn, e sou tèt li yo te gen sèt kouwòn.
4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to be delivered; that, when she should be delivered, he might devour her son.
Konsa, ke li te baleye nèt yon tyè nan zetwal nan syèl yo e te jete yo sou latè. Dragon an te kanpe devan fanm ki te prèt pou akouche a, pou lè li fè pitit la, li ta kab devore pitit li a.
5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with an iron rod: and her son was taken up to God, and to his throne.
Konsa, li te fè yon fis, yon pitit mal, ki gen pou gouvène tout nasyon yo avèk yon baton fè. Pitit li a te rale monte kote Bondye, e anvè twòn Li an.
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she had a place prepared by God, that there they should feed her a thousand two hundred sixty days.
Answit fanm nan te sove ale nan dezè a kote li te gen yon plas prepare pa Bondye, pouke la, li ta kapab nouri pandan mil-de-san-swasann jou.
7 And there was a great battle in heaven, Michael and his angels fought with the dragon, and the dragon fought and his angels:
Epi te gen lagè nan syèl la. Michel avèk zanj li yo t ap fè lagè avèk dragon an. Dragon an avèk zanj pa li yo t ap fè lagè.
8 And they prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven.
Men yo pa t reyisi genyen. Konsa, yo pa t jwenn plas ankò nan syèl la.
9 And that great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, who seduceth the whole world; and he was cast unto the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
Gran dragon an te jete anba; sèpan ansyen an ki rele dyab la ak Satan, ki twonpe tout mond lan. Li te jete anba sou latè, e zanj li yo te jete anba avèk li.
10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying: Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: because the accuser of our brethren is cast forth, who accused them before our God day and night.
Answit mwen te tande yon gwo vwa nan syèl la ki t ap di: “Koulye a delivrans lan, pwisans lan, wayòm Bondye nou an, ak otorite Kris Li a te vini an. Paske akizatè a frè nou yo jete anba; Sila ki te konn akize yo devan Bondye nou an lajounen kon lannwit lan.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of the testimony, and they loved not their lives unto death.
Yo te venk li akoz san Jèn Mouton an e akoz pawòl temwayaj yo. Konsa, yo pa t renmen lavi yo, menm fas a lanmò.
12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you that dwell therein. Woe to the earth, and to the sea, because the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time.
“Pou rezon sa a, rejwi nou o syèl, ak nou menm ki demere ladann yo. Malè a tè a ak lanmè a paske dyab la gen tan desann sou nou avèk gwo kòlè, akoz li konnen tan li an vrèman kout.”
13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman, who brought forth the man child:
Alò, lè dragon an te wè ke li te jete anba sou latè, li te pèsekite fanm ki te bay nesans a pitit mal la.
14 And there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the desert unto her place, where she is nourished for a time and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
Men de zèl a gwo èg la te bay a fanm nan pou li ta kapab vole rive nan dezè a nan pwòp plas li, kote li te nouri pandan yon ti tan, tan ak mwatye tan, lib de prezans sèpan an.
15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth after the woman, water as it were a river; that he might cause her to be carried away by the river.
Konsa, sèpan an te vide yon dlo sòti nan bouch li tankou yon rivyè dèyè fanm nan, pou li ta kapab baleye l avèk lavalas dlo.
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.
Men tè a te ede fanm nan. Tè a te louvri bouch li e te bwè tout larivyè dlo ke dragon an te vide soti nan bouch li a.
17 And the dragon was angry against the woman: and went to make war with the rest of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Donk, dragon a te vin anraje avèk fanm nan. Konsa, li te ale pou fè lagè avèk rès pitit li yo ki kenbe kòmandman Bondye yo, e ki kenbe temwayaj a Jésus a.
