< Revelation 12 >

1 A great sign was seen in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
وَظَهَرَتْ فِي السَّمَاءِ آيَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ: امْرَأَةٌ لابِسَةٌ الشَّمْسَ، وَالْقَمَرُ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيْهَا، وَعَلَى رَأْسِهَا تَاجٌ مِنِ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ نَجْماً.١
2 She was with child. She screamed out in pain, laboring to give birth.
وَكَانَتْ حُبْلَى تَصْرُخُ مِنْ أَلَمِ الْوِلادَةِ وَتَتَوَجَّعُ وَهِيَ تَلِدُ.٢
3 Another sign was seen in heaven. Look, a great fiery red serpent, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven crowns.
وَظَهَرَتْ فِي السَّمَاءِ آيَةٌ أُخْرَى: تِنِّينٌ عَظِيمٌ أَحْمَرُ لَهُ سَبْعَةُ رُؤُوسٍ، عَلَى كُلٍّ مِنْهَا تَاجٌ، وَلَهُ عَشَرَةُ قُرُونٍ،٣
4 His tail drew one third of the stars of the sky, and threw them to the earth. The serpent stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her child.
فَسَحَبَ بِذَيْلِهِ ثُلْثَ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ وَأَلْقَاهَا إِلَى الأَرْضِ. ثُمَّ وَقَفَ التِّنِّينُ أَمَامَ الْمَرْأَةِ وَهِيَ تَلِدُ، لِيَبْتَلِعَ طِفْلَهَا بَعْدَ أَنْ تَلِدَهُ!٤
5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with an iron scepter. Her child was caught up to God, and to his throne.
وَوَلَدَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ ابْناً ذَكَراً، وَهُوَ الَّذِي سَيَحْكُمُ الأُمَمَ كُلَّهَا بِعَصاً مِنْ حَدِيدٍ. وَرُفِعَ الطِّفْلُ إِلَى حَضْرَةِ اللهِ وَإِلَى عَرْشِهِ.٥
6 The woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that there they may nourish her one thousand two hundred sixty days.
أَمَّا الْمَرْأَةُ فَهَرَبَتْ إِلَى الْبَرِّيَّةِ، حَيْثُ أَعدَّ اللهُ لَهَا مَكَاناً تُعَالُ فِيهِ مُدَّةَ أَلْفٍ وَمِئَتَيْنِ وَسِتِّينَ يَوْماً.٦
7 There was war in the sky. Mikael and his angels made war on the serpent. The serpent and his angels made war.
وَنَشِبَتْ حَرْبٌ فِي السَّمَاءِ، إِذْ هَاجَمَ مِيخَائِيلُ وَمَلائِكَتُهُ التِّنِّينَ وَمَلائِكَتَهُ،٧
8 They did not prevail, neither was a place found for them any more in heaven.
وَحَارَبَ التِّنِّينُ وَمَلائِكَتُهُ، لَكِنَّهُمُ انْهَزَمُوا وَلَمْ يَبْقَ لَهُمْ مَكَانٌ فِي السَّمَاءِ،٨
9 The great serpent was thrown down, the ancient serpent, he who is called the devil and Satana, the deceiver of the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
إِذْ طُرِحُوا إِلَى الأَرْضِ. هَذَا التِّنِّينُ الْعَظِيمُ هُوَ الْحَيَّةُ الْقَدِيمَةُ، وَيُسَمَّى إِبْلِيسَ وَالشَّيْطَانَ الَّذِي يُضَلِّلُ الْعَالَمَ كُلَّهُ.٩
10 I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now is come the salvation, the power, and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Meshikha; for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them before our God day and night.
ثُمَّ سَمِعْتُ صَوْتاً عَالِياً فِي السَّمَاءِ يَقُولُ: «الآنَ تَمَّ خَلاصُ إِلَهِنَا، وَآلَتِ الْقُدْرَةِ وَالْمُلْكُ إِلَيْهِ وَالسُّلْطَانُ إِلَى مَسِيحِهِ! فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ طُرِحَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الْمُشْتَكِي الَّذِي يَتَّهِمُ إِخْوَتَنَا أَمَامَ إِلهِنَا لَيْلاً وَنَهَاراً.١٠
11 They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony. They did not love their life, even to death.
وَهُمْ قَدِ انْتَصَرُوا عَلَيْهِ بِدَمِ الْحَمَلِ وَبِالْكَلِمَةِ الَّتِي شَهِدُوا لَهَا، فَلَمْ تَكُنْ حَيَاتُهُمْ عَزِيزَةً لَدَيْهِمْ، حَتَّى إِنَّهُمْ مَاتُوا.١١
12 Therefore rejoice, heavens, and you who dwell in them. Woe to the land and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has but a short time."
افْرَحِي أَيَّتُهَا السَّمَاوَاتُ، وافْرَحُوا يَا أَهْلَهَا، الْوَيْلُ لَكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ الأَرْضِ وَالْبَحْرِ، لأَنَّ إِبْلِيسَ هَبَطَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَهُوَ فِي شِدَّةِ الْغَضَبِ، عَالِماً أَنَّ أَيَّامَهُ صَارَتْ مَعْدُودَةً».١٢
13 When the serpent saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child.
وَعِنْدَمَا وَجَدَ التِّنِّينُ أَنَّهُ طُرِحَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ، أَخَذَ يُطَارِدُ الْمَرْأَةَ الَّتِي وَلَدَتِ الطِّفْلَ الذَّكَرَ،١٣
14 Two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, so that she might be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
فَأُعْطِيَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ جَنَاحَيِ النَّسْرِ الْعَظِيمِ، لِتَطِيرَ بِهِمَا إِلَى الْبَرِّيَّةِ، إِلَى الْمَكَانِ الْمُجَهَّزِ لَهَا، حَيْثُ تُعَالُ بِمَأْمَنٍ مِنَ الْحَيَّةِ، مُدَّةَ ثَلاثِ سَنَوَاتٍ وَنِصْفِ السَّنَةِ.١٤
15 The serpent spewed water out of his mouth after the woman like a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream.
وَأَخْرَجَتِ الْحَيَّةُ مِنْ جَوْفِهَا خَلْفَ الْمَرْأَةِ مَا يُشْبِهُ النَّهْرَ لِتُغْرِقَهَا فِيهِ،١٥
16 The earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river which the serpent spewed out of his mouth.
وَلكِنَّ الأَرْضَ أَعَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةَ، فَفَتَحَتْ فَمَهَا وَابْتَلَعَتِ النَّهْرَ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَهُ التِّنِّينُ مِنْ فَمِهِ!١٦
17 The serpent grew angry with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep God's commandments and hold to the testimony of Yeshua.
فَاغْتَاظَ التِّنِّينُ مِنَ الْمَرْأَةِ وَشَنَّ حَرْباً عَلَى بَاقِي أَوْلادِهَا الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ بِوَصَايَا اللهِ وَعِنْدَهُمُ الشَّهَادَةُ لِيَسُوعَ.١٧
