Revelation 12
1 AND there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
Lalu ada sebuah tanda yang luar biasa muncul di Surga, seorang perempuan berpakaian matahari, dengan bulan di bawah kakinya, dan sebuah mahkota dengan dua belas bintang di atas kepalanya.
2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
Perempuan itu sedang mengandung, dan dia berteriak kesakitan karena sudah waktunya dia melahirkan.
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
Dan ada sebuah tanda lain yang muncul, seekor naga berwarna merah dengan tujuh kepala dan sepuluh tanduk dan tujuh mahkota kecil pada kepala-kepala naga itu.
4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
Ekornya menyapu sepertiga dari bintang-bintang di surga dan melemparkan mereka ke bumi. Naga itu berdiri di depan perempuan yang hendak melahirkan itu, agar dia bisa segera makan anak perempuan itu segera sesudah anak itu dilahirkan.
5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
Dan perempuan itu melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki, yang akan memerintah semua bangsa dengan tongkat besi. Anak laki-laki itu dengan segera diambil dan dibawa kepada Allah dan tahta-Nya.
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
Dan perempuan itu lalu melarikan diri ke padang pasir, di sana Allah sudah menyediakan tempat baginya, agar dia bisa dipelihara selama 1.260 hari lamanya.
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
Dan terjadi peperangan di Surga. Mikael dan para malaikatnya bertarung dengan naga itu. Naga itu dan para malaikatnya bertempur
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
tetapi dia tidak cukup kuat, dan mereka tidak bisa tinggal di Surga
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Naga besar itu, ular kuno yang disebut Iblis dan Setan yang menipu seluruh dunia, dilemparkan ke bumi, dan malaikat-malaikatnya yang bersamanya.
10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
Lalu saya mendengar suara yang keras dari Surga berkata, “Sekarang keselamatan sudah datang, juga kuasa dan kerajaan dari Allah kita dan otoritas dari Kristus. Orang yang menuduh orang-orang beriman telah dijatuhkan — ia yang menuduh mereka di hadapan Tuhan siang dan malam.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Mereka mengalahkan dia dengan darah Anak Domba dan dengan kesaksian pribadi mereka — mereka tidak menyayangkan nyawa mereka sendiri sehingga mereka rela mati jika memang harus.
12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
Jadi bersukacitalah, hai seluruh penghuni Surga! Berkabunglah, hai bumi dan laut, sebab Iblis sudah turun ke atasmu dan dia sangat marah, sebab dia tahu bahwa waktu dia sudah hampir habis.”
13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
Ketika sang naga menyadari bahwa dia sudah dilemparkan ke bumi, dia menganiaya si perempuan yang sudah melahirkan si anak laki-laki itu.
14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
Kepada perempuan itu diberikan sayap sebesar sayap rajawali agar dia bisa terbang ke tempat terpencil dimana dia akan dipelihara selama satu masa, masa, dan separuh masa, dilindungi dari si ular itu.
15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
Si ular itu menyemburkan air seperti aliran sungai yang besar dari mulutnya, mencoba melenyapkan sang perempuan dengan banjir.
16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
Bumi datang menolong perempuan itu dengan tiba-tiba membelah dan menelan air sungai yang keluar dari mulut ular itu.
17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Sang naga menjadi sangat marah kepada si perempuan itu, dan pergi menyerang anak-anaknya yang lain, yaitu mereka yang taat kepada perintah-perintah Allah dan memiliki kesaksian dari Yesus.
