Revelation 12
1 And a great sign was seen in the sky: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars,
I znamenje veliko pokaza se na nebu: Žena odjevena suncem, mjesec joj pod nogama, a na glavi vijenac od dvanaest zvijezda.
2 and having [a child] in [her] womb she cries out, travailing and being in pain to bring forth.
Trudna viče u porođajnim bolima i mukama rađanja.
3 And there was seen another sign in the sky, and behold, a great fire-colored dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns on 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 tail draws the third of the stars of the sky, and he cast them to the earth; and the dragon stood before the woman who is about to bring forth, that when she may bring forth, he may devour her child;
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 and she brought forth a male son, who is about to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, and her child was snatched up to 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 the wilderness, where she has a place made ready from God, that there they may nourish her—one thousand, two hundred, sixty days.
A Žena pobježe u pustinju gdje joj Bog pripravi sklonište da se ondje hrani tisuću dvjesta i šezdeset dana.
7 And there came war in Heaven: Michael and his messengers warred against the dragon, and the dragon and his messengers warred,
I nasta rat na nebu: Mihael i njegovi anđeli zarate se sa Zmajem. Zmaj uđe u rat i anđeli njegovi,
8 and they did not prevail, nor was their place found anymore in Heaven;
ali ne nadvlada. I ne bijaše im više mjesta na nebu.
9 and the great dragon was cast forth—the old serpent, who is called “Devil,” and “Satan,” who is leading the whole world astray—he was cast forth to the earth, and his messengers were cast forth 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 And I heard a great voice saying in Heaven, “Now came the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom, of our God, and the authority of His Christ, because the accuser of our brothers was cast down, who is accusing 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 and they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life—to death;
Ali oni ga pobijediše krvlju Jaganjčevom i riječju svojega svjedočanstva: nisu ljubili života svoga - sve do smrti.
12 because of this be glad, you heavens, and those who dwell in them; woe to those inhabiting the earth and the sea, because the Devil went down to you, having great wrath, having known that he has [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 saw that he was cast forth to the earth, he pursued the woman who brought forth the male,
Kad Zmaj vidje da je zbačen na zemlju, stade progoniti Ženu koja rodi muškića.
14 and there were given to the woman two wings of the great eagle, that she may fly into the wilderness, to her place, where she is nourished a time, and times, and half a time, from the face 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 forth out of his mouth water as a river after the woman, that he may cause her to be carried away by the river,
I Zmija iz usta pusti za Ženom vodu poput rijeke da je rijeka odnese.
16 and the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river that the dragon cast forth out of his mouth;
Ali zemlja priteče u pomoć Ženi: otvori usta i popi rijeku što je Zmaj pusti iz usta.
17 and the dragon was angry against the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, those keeping the commands of God, and having the testimony of Jesus.
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.
