Revelation 12
1 And, a great sign, appeared in heaven: a woman arrayed with the sun, and, the moon, beneath 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 was with child, and crieth out, being in pangs and in anguish to bring forth?
Perempuan itu sedang mengandung, dan dia berteriak kesakitan karena sudah waktunya dia melahirkan.
3 And there appeared another sign in heaven; and lo! a great red dragon, —having seven heads and ten horns, and, upon his heads, seven diadems;
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, draweth the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth. And, the dragon, stood before the woman who was about to bring forth, that, as soon as she should bring forth, he might devour, her child.
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 son, a manchild, who was about to shepherd all the nations with a sceptre of iron; and her child was caught away unto God and unto 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 desert, where she hath a place prepared of God, that, there, they should nourish her a thousand, two hundred, and sixty 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 came to be war in heaven: Michael and his messengers [going forth] to war with the dragon; and, the dragon, fought, and his messengers;
Dan terjadi peperangan di Surga. Mikael dan para malaikatnya bertarung dengan naga itu. Naga itu dan para malaikatnya bertempur
8 and he prevailed not, neither was place found for them, any longer, in heaven.
tetapi dia tidak cukup kuat, dan mereka tidak bisa tinggal di Surga
9 And the great dragon was cast out, —the ancient serpent, he that is called Adversary and the Satan, that deceiveth the whole habitable world, —he was cast to the earth, and his messengers, with him, were cast.
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 in heaven, saying—Now, hath come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ; because the accuser of our brethren hath been cast out, who was accusing 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 reason of the blood of the Lamb, and by reason of their witnessing word, and they loved not their life, even unto 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 For this cause, be joyful, O heavens, and ye who, therein, are tabernacling. Woe! unto the earth, and the sea, because the Adversary hath come down unto you, having great wrath—knowing that, but a little season, he hath.
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 to the earth, he pursued the woman who had brought forth the manchild.
Ketika sang naga menyadari bahwa dia sudah dilemparkan ke bumi, dia menganiaya si perempuan yang sudah melahirkan si anak laki-laki itu.
14 And there were given unto the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the desert, into her place, —where she is nourished, a season and seasons and half a season, 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, after the woman, water as a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream.
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 river 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 angered against the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed—with them who were keeping the commandments of God, and holding the witness of Jesus; —and he stood upon the sand of the sea.
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.
