< 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,
Ningĩ kũu igũrũ gũkĩoneka ũrirũ mũnene wa kũgegania: gũkĩoneka mũndũ-wa-nja wehumbĩte riũa, agacooka agakinya mweri na magũrũ, na agekĩra thũmbĩ ya njata ikũmi na igĩrĩ mũtwe.
2 and having [a child] in [her] womb she cries out, travailing and being in pain to bring forth.
Aarĩ na nda, na nĩakayaga nĩ ruo tondũ aarĩ hakuhĩ kũheo mwana.
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,
Ningĩ gũkĩoneka ũrirũ ũngĩ kũu igũrũ na atĩrĩ: nĩ ndamathia nene yarĩ ndune, na yarĩ na ciongo mũgwanja, na hĩa ikũmi, na thũmbĩ mũgwanja ciongo-inĩ ciayo.
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;
Naguo mũtingʼoe wayo ũkĩhaata gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ kĩa njata cia igũrũ na ĩgĩcirekania thĩ. Ndamathia ĩyo ĩkĩrũgama mbere ya mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio warĩ hakuhĩ kũheo mwana, nĩguo ĩtambuure mwana ũcio aaciarwo o ũguo.
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,
Nake mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio akĩgĩa mwana wa kahĩĩ, ũrĩa ũgaathaga ndũrĩrĩ ciothe na rũthanju rwa kĩgera. Nake mwana ũcio akĩhurio, agĩtwarwo igũrũ gĩtĩ-inĩ kĩa ũnene kĩa Ngai.
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.
Mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio akĩũrĩra werũ-inĩ, handũ harĩa aathondekeirwo nĩ Ngai, harĩa aarĩ amenyererwo handũ ha ihinda rĩa matukũ 1,260.
7 And there came war in Heaven: Michael and his messengers warred against the dragon, and the dragon and his messengers warred,
Na rĩrĩ, kũu igũrũ gũkĩgĩa mbaara. Mikaeli na araika ake makĩrũa na ndamathia ĩyo, nayo ndamathia na araika ayo makĩrũa nao.
8 and they did not prevail, nor was their place found anymore in Heaven;
No ndamathia ndĩarĩ na hinya wa kũigana, nayo hamwe na araika ayo makĩaga ũikaro kũu igũrũ.
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.
Nayo ndamathia ĩyo nene ĩkĩnyugutwo thĩ, na nĩyo nyoka ĩrĩa ya tene, o ĩrĩa ĩĩtagwo mũcukani, na ĩgeetwo Shaitani, ĩrĩa ĩhĩtithagia andũ a thĩ yothe. Nayo ĩkĩnyugutwo thĩ hamwe na araika ayo.
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;
Ningĩ ngĩcooka ngĩigua mũgambo mũnene kũu igũrũ, ũkiuga atĩrĩ: “Rĩu ũhonokio nĩ mũkinyu, na ũhoti, na ũthamaki wa Ngai witũ, o na wathani wa Kristũ wake. Nĩgũkorwo ũrĩa ũcuukaga ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, ũrĩa ũmacuukaga mbere ya Ngai mũthenya na ũtukũ, nĩaharũrũkĩtio thĩ.
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;
Nao nĩmamũtooririe na ũndũ wa thakame ya Gatũrũme, o na nĩ ũndũ wa kiugo kĩa ũira wao; na matiigana kwenda kũhonokia mĩoyo yao, o na maatuĩka a gũkua.
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.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, kenai inyuĩ igũrũ, o na inyuĩ arĩa mũtũũraga kuo! No kaĩ thĩ na iria rĩrĩa inene irĩ na haaro-ĩ, tondũ mũcukani nĩaikũrũkĩte kũrĩ inyuĩ! Nake aiyũrĩtwo nĩ marũrũ manene, tondũ nĩoĩ atĩ ihinda rĩake rĩrĩa rĩtigaire nĩ inyinyi.”
13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast forth to the earth, he pursued the woman who brought forth the male,
Rĩrĩa ndamathia ĩyo yoonire atĩ nĩyanyugutwo thĩ, ikĩambĩrĩria kũnyariira mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio waagĩĩte mwana wa kahĩĩ.
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;
Nake mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio akĩheo mathagu meerĩ ma nderi ĩrĩa nene nĩgeetha ombũke athiĩ werũ-inĩ handũ harĩa aathondekeirwo, harĩa aarĩ amenyererwo kwa ihinda, na kwa mahinda na nuthu ya ihinda, harĩa atangĩakinyĩrirwo nĩ nyoka ĩyo.
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,
Nayo nyoka ĩyo ĩkĩhorora maaĩ kuuma kanua kayo o ta rũũĩ, nĩgeetha ĩkinyĩrie mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio, ĩtũme atwarwo nĩ kĩguũ kĩu.
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;
No thĩ nayo ĩgĩteithĩrĩria mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio na ũndũ wa gwathamia kanua kayo, nayo ĩkĩmeria rũũĩ rũu rwahororetwo nĩ ndamathia ĩyo kuuma kanua kayo.
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.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ndamathia ĩyo ĩkĩrakarĩra mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio mũno, nayo ĩgĩthiĩ kũrũa na ciana iria ingĩ ciake, na nĩo andũ arĩa maathĩkagĩra maathani ma Ngai, na makagwatĩria ũira wa Jesũ.
