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.
Og et stort Tegn blev set i Himmelen: En Kvinde, iklædt Solen og med Maanen under sine Fødder og en Krans af tolv Stjerner paa sit Hoved.
2 And she was with childe, and cried traueiling in birth, and was pained readie to be deliuered.
Og hun var frugtsommelig og skreg i Barnsnød, under Fødselsveer.
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:
Og et andet Tegn blev set i Himmelen, og se, der var en stor, ildrød Drage, som havde syv Hoveder og ti Horn og paa sine Hoveder syv Kroner.
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.
Og dens Hale drog Tredjedelen af Himmelens Stjerner med sig og kastede dem paa Jorden. Og Dragen stod foran Kvinden, som skulde føde, for at sluge hendes Barn, naar hun havde født det.
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.
Og hun fødte et Drengebarn, som skal vogte alle Folkeslagene med en Jernstav; og hendes Barn blev bortrykket til Gud og til hans Trone.
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.
Og Kvinden flyede ud i Ørkenen, hvor hun har et Sted beredt fra Gud, for at man skal ernære hende der eet Tusinde, to Hundrede og tresindstyve Dage.
7 And there was a battell in heauen, Michael and his Angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon fought and his angels.
Og der blev en Kamp i Himmelen: Mikael og hans Engle gave sig til at kæmpe imod Dragen, og Dragen kæmpede og dens Engle.
8 But they preuailed not, neither was their place found any more in heauen.
Men de magtede det ikke, og deres Sted fandtes ikke mere i Himmelen.
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.
Og den store Drage blev nedstyrtet; den gamle Slange, som kaldes Djævelen og Satan, som forfører den hele Verden, blev nedstyrtet paa Jorden, og hans Engle bleve nedstyrtede med ham.
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.
Og jeg hørte en høj Røst i Himmelen sige: Nu er Frelsen og Kraften og Riget blevet vor Guds, og Magten hans Salvedes; thi nedstyrtet er vore Brødres Anklager, som anklagede dem for vor Gud Dag og Nat.
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.
Og de have overvundet ham i Kraft af Lammets Blod og i Kraft af deres Vidnesbyrds Ord; og de elskede ikke deres Liv, lige til Døden.
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.
Derfor, fryder eder, I Himle, og I, som bo i dem! Ve Jorden og Havet! thi Djævelen er nedstegen til eder og har stor Vrede, fordi han ved, at han kun har liden Tid.
13 And when the dragon sawe that hee was cast vnto the earth, he persecuted the woman which had brought forth the man childe.
Og da Dragen saa, at den var styrtet til Jorden, forfulgte den Kvinden, som havde født Drengebarnet.
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.
Og den store Ørns tvende Vinger bleve givne Kvinden, for at hun skulde flyve til Ørkenen, til sit Sted, der hvor hun næres en Tid og Tider og en halv Tid, borte fra Slangen.
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.
Og Slangen spyede Vand som en Flod ud af sin Mund efter Kvinden for at bortskylle hende med Floden.
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.
Og Jorden kom Kvinden til Hjælp; og Jorden aabnede sin Mund og opslugte Floden, som Dragen havde udspyet af sin Mund.
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.
Og Dragen vrededes paa Kvinden og gik bort for at føre Krig imod de øvrige af hendes Sæd, dem, som holde Guds Bud og have Jesu Vidnesbyrd.
