Revelation 12
1 And there appeared a great wonder in heauen: A woman clothed with the sunne, and the moone was vnder her feete, and vpon her head a crowne of twelue starres.
I znamenje veliko pokaza se na nebu: Žena odjevena suncem, mjesec joj pod nogama, a na glavi vijenac od dvanaest zvijezda.
2 And she was with childe, and cried traueiling in birth, and was pained readie to be deliuered.
Trudna viče u porođajnim bolima i mukama rađanja.
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaue: for beholde, a great red dragon hauing seuen heads, and ten hornes, and seuen crownes vpon his heads:
I pokaza se drugo znamenje na nebu: gle, Zmaj velik, ognjen, sa sedam glava i deset rogova; na glavama mu sedam kruna,
4 And his taile drew the thirde part of the starres of heauen, and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman, which was ready to be deliuered, to deuoure her childe, when shee had brought it foorth.
a rep mu povlači trećinu zvijezda nebeskih - i obori ih na zemlju. Zmaj stade pred Ženu koja imaše roditi da joj, čim rodi, proždre Dijete.
5 So shee brought foorth a man childe, which should rule all nations with a rod of yron: and that her childe was taken vp vnto God and to his throne.
I ona porodi sina, muškića, koji će vladati svim narodima palicom gvozdenom. I Dijete njeno bi uzeto k Bogu i prijestolju njegovu.
6 And the woman fled into wildernes where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feede her there a thousande, two hundreth and three score dayes.
A Žena pobježe u pustinju gdje joj Bog pripravi sklonište da se ondje hrani tisuću dvjesta i šezdeset dana.
7 And there was a battell in heauen, Michael and his Angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon fought and his angels.
I nasta rat na nebu: Mihael i njegovi anđeli zarate se sa Zmajem. Zmaj uđe u rat i anđeli njegovi,
8 But they preuailed not, neither was their place found any more in heauen.
ali ne nadvlada. I ne bijaše im više mjesta na nebu.
9 And the great dragon, that olde serpent, called the deuil and Satan, was cast out, which deceiueth all the world: he was euen cast into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Zbačen je Zmaj veliki, Stara zmija - imenom Ðavao, Sotona, zavodnik svega svijeta. Bačen je na zemlju, a s njime su bačeni i anđeli njegovi.
10 Then I heard a loude voyce in heauen, saying, Now is saluation, and strength, and the kingdome of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast downe, which accused them before our God day and night.
I začujem glas na nebu silan: “Sada nasta spasenje i snaga i kraljevstvo Boga našega i vlast Pomazanika njegova! Jer zbačen je tužitelj braće naše koji ih je dan i noć optuživao pred Bogom našim.
11 But they ouercame him by that blood of that Lambe, and by that worde of their testimonie, and they loued not their liues vnto the death.
Ali oni ga pobijediše krvlju Jaganjčevom i riječju svojega svjedočanstva: nisu ljubili života svoga - sve do smrti.
12 Therefore reioyce, ye heauens, and ye that dwell in them. Wo to the inhabitants of the earth, and of the sea: for the deuill is come downe vnto you, which hath great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time.
Zato veselite se, nebesa i svi nebesnici! A jao vama, zemljo i more, jer Ðavao siđe k vama, gnjevan veoma, znajući da ima malo vremena!”
13 And when the dragon sawe that hee was cast vnto the earth, he persecuted the woman which had brought forth the man childe.
Kad Zmaj vidje da je zbačen na zemlju, stade progoniti Ženu koja rodi muškića.
14 But to the woman were giuen two wings of a great eagle, that she might flie into the wildernes, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and halfe a time, from the presence of the serpent.
No Ženi bijahu dana dva velika krila orlujska da odleti u pustinju, u svoje sklonište gdje se, sklonjena od Zmije, hrani jedno vrijeme i dva vremena i polovicu vremena.
15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water after the woman, like a flood, that he might cause her to be caried away of the flood.
I Zmija iz usta pusti za Ženom vodu poput rijeke da je rijeka odnese.
16 But the earth holpe the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swalowed vp the flood, which the dragon had cast out of his mouth.
Ali zemlja priteče u pomoć Ženi: otvori usta i popi rijeku što je Zmaj pusti iz usta.
17 Then the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went and made warre with the remnant of her seede, which keepe the comaundements of God, and haue the testimonie of Iesus Christ.
I razgnjevi se Zmaj na Ženu pa ode i zarati se s ostatkom njezina potomstva, s onima što čuvaju Božje zapovijedi i drže svjedočanstvo Isusovo.
