< 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,
Yon gwo sign te vin parèt nan syèl la: yon fanm abiye avèk solèy la, ak lalin nan anba pye li, e sou tèt li, yon kouwòn douz etwal.
2 and having [a child] in [her] womb she cries out, travailing and being in pain to bring forth.
Li te gwo ansent e te kriye fò ak tranche ak doulè pou l akouche.
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,
Answit, yon lòt sign te parèt nan syèl la. Gade byen, yon gwo dragon wouj avèk sèt tèt ak dis kòn, e sou tèt li yo te gen sèt kouwòn.
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;
Konsa, ke li te baleye nèt yon tyè nan zetwal nan syèl yo e te jete yo sou latè. Dragon an te kanpe devan fanm ki te prèt pou akouche a, pou lè li fè pitit la, li ta kab devore pitit li a.
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,
Konsa, li te fè yon fis, yon pitit mal, ki gen pou gouvène tout nasyon yo avèk yon baton fè. Pitit li a te rale monte kote Bondye, e anvè twòn Li an.
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.
Answit fanm nan te sove ale nan dezè a kote li te gen yon plas prepare pa Bondye, pouke la, li ta kapab nouri pandan mil-de-san-swasann jou.
7 And there came war in Heaven: Michael and his messengers warred against the dragon, and the dragon and his messengers warred,
Epi te gen lagè nan syèl la. Michel avèk zanj li yo t ap fè lagè avèk dragon an. Dragon an avèk zanj pa li yo t ap fè lagè.
8 and they did not prevail, nor was their place found anymore in Heaven;
Men yo pa t reyisi genyen. Konsa, yo pa t jwenn plas ankò nan syèl la.
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.
Gran dragon an te jete anba; sèpan ansyen an ki rele dyab la ak Satan, ki twonpe tout mond lan. Li te jete anba sou latè, e zanj li yo te jete anba avèk li.
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;
Answit mwen te tande yon gwo vwa nan syèl la ki t ap di: “Koulye a delivrans lan, pwisans lan, wayòm Bondye nou an, ak otorite Kris Li a te vini an. Paske akizatè a frè nou yo jete anba; Sila ki te konn akize yo devan Bondye nou an lajounen kon lannwit lan.
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;
Yo te venk li akoz san Jèn Mouton an e akoz pawòl temwayaj yo. Konsa, yo pa t renmen lavi yo, menm fas a lanmò.
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.”
“Pou rezon sa a, rejwi nou o syèl, ak nou menm ki demere ladann yo. Malè a tè a ak lanmè a paske dyab la gen tan desann sou nou avèk gwo kòlè, akoz li konnen tan li an vrèman kout.”
13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast forth to the earth, he pursued the woman who brought forth the male,
Alò, lè dragon an te wè ke li te jete anba sou latè, li te pèsekite fanm ki te bay nesans a pitit mal la.
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;
Men de zèl a gwo èg la te bay a fanm nan pou li ta kapab vole rive nan dezè a nan pwòp plas li, kote li te nouri pandan yon ti tan, tan ak mwatye tan, lib de prezans sèpan an.
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,
Konsa, sèpan an te vide yon dlo sòti nan bouch li tankou yon rivyè dèyè fanm nan, pou li ta kapab baleye l avèk lavalas dlo.
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;
Men tè a te ede fanm nan. Tè a te louvri bouch li e te bwè tout larivyè dlo ke dragon an te vide soti nan bouch li a.
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.
Donk, dragon a te vin anraje avèk fanm nan. Konsa, li te ale pou fè lagè avèk rès pitit li yo ki kenbe kòmandman Bondye yo, e ki kenbe temwayaj a Jésus a.
