< 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:
Elembo moko ya monene emonanaki na likolo, ezalaki mwasi moko. Alataki moyi lokola elamba, sanza ezalaki na se ya matambe na ye, mpe, na moto na ye, alataki motole oyo ezalaki na minzoto zomi na mibale.
2 And being with child, she cried travailing in birth, and was in pain to be delivered.
Azalaki na zemi mpe, lokola azalaki koyoka pasi ya kobota, azalaki koganga makasi mpo na pasi.
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:
Sima na yango, elembo mosusu emonanaki na likolo, ezalaki dalagona moko ya monene mpe ya motane. Dalagona yango ezalaki na mito sambo mpe maseke zomi; mpe na mito wana sambo, moko na moko ezalaki na motole.
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.
Mokila na yango ekombolaki eteni moko kati na biteni misato ya minzoto ya likolo mpe ebwakaki yango na mabele. Dalagona etelemaki liboso ya mwasi oyo azalaki koyoka pasi ya kobota mpo ete elia mwana na ye tango kaka akobotama.
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.
Nzokande, mwasi yango abotaki mwana mobali oyo akokamba bikolo nyonso na nzela ya lingenda ya ebende. Bongo mwana na ye amemamaki epai ya Nzambe mpe epai ya Kiti na Ye ya Bokonzi.
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.
Mwasi yango akimaki na esobe epai wapi Nzambe abongiselaki ye ebombamelo, mpo ete asungama kuna mikolo nkoto moko na nkama mibale na tuku motoba.
7 And there was a great battle in heaven, Michael and his angels fought with the dragon, and the dragon fought and his angels:
Bongo etumba ekweyaki kuna na likolo: Misheli elongo na ba-anjelu na ye babundisaki dalagona, mpe dalagona elongo na ba-anjelu na yango ebundisaki Misheli elongo na ba-anjelu na ye.
8 And they prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven.
Kasi dalagona elongaki te; boye dalagona yango elongo na ba-anjelu na yango ebungisaki esika na yango kuna na likolo.
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.
Babwakaki dalagona monene, nyoka ya kala, oyo babengaka zabolo to Satana, oyo akosaka mokili mobimba. Ebwakamaki na mabele elongo na ba-anjelu na yango.
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.
Bongo nayokaki, kati na Lola, mongongo moko ya makasi koloba: « Tango ya lobiko, ya nguya, ya Bokonzi ya Nzambe na biso, mpe ya nguya ya Klisto na Ye ekoki. Pamba te Mofundi ya bandeko na biso, oyo afundaka bango butu mpe moyi, liboso ya Nzambe na biso, abwakami na mokili.
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.
Kasi bango balongi ye na nzela ya makila ya Mpate, mpe na nzela ya liloba ya litatoli na bango; balingaki te bomoi na bango kino kondima ata kokufa.
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.
Yango wana, yo Lola, sepela; mpe bino bavandi ya Lola, bosepela! Kasi mawa na mokili mpe na ebale monene, pamba te Satana akiti epai na bino! Atondi na kanda, pamba te ayebi malamu ete atikali kaka na tango moke. »
13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman, who brought forth the man child:
Tango dalagona emonaki ete ebwakami na mokili, ekomaki kolanda mwasi oyo abotaki mwana mobali.
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.
Kasi mapapu nyonso mibale ya mpongo moko ya monene epesamaki na mwasi yango mpo ete apumbwa kino na esika na ye, na esobe epai wapi asengeli kosungama, mosika ya nyoka, mpo na tango moko, mpo na batango, mpe mpo na ndambo ya tango.
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.
Bongo nyoka esanzaki wuta na monoko na yango, na sima ya mwasi, mayi ebele lokola ebale, mpo ete atiola na mbonge na yango.
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.
Kasi mabele esungaki mwasi, efungolaki monoko na yango mpe emelaki ebale oyo dalagona esanzaki wuta na monoko na yango.
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.
Bongo dalagona esilikelaki mwasi mpe ekendeki kobundisa bana na ye mosusu, ba-oyo batosaka mibeko ya Nzambe mpe bakangamaka makasi na litatoli na bango na tina na Yesu.
