Revelation 12
1 Then something very unusual appeared in the sky. It was a woman, whose [appearance and] clothing were [MET] as bright as the sun. The moon was under her feet. On her head was a crown [that was made] of twelve stars.
Iwa yene kulap kudya kitene: uwani wa terin uwui, a upui nanya nabunu; a litapa miyini likure wa di litime.
2 She was pregnant. Then, as she was about to give birth, she cried out because she was suffering pain.
Awa di nin liburi kumat ayita kucilu nkon libari kumat-nanya nkonu kumat.
3 Something else very unusual appeared in the sky. It was a huge red dragon. It had seven heads and ten horns. On each of its heads was a royal crown.
Iwa yene nkon kulap tutun kitene kani: Yenjen! Nkon kugbergenu kushine kudya na ku wa di nin nati kuzor, awulu kulidi a titapa kuzor litime.
4 The dragon’s tail dragged a third of the stars from the sky and threw them to the earth. The dragon set himself in front of the woman who was about to give birth, in order that he might eat her child as soon as it was born.
Udu me wa wanung ukashi utat niyini kitene kani a toltuno inin udak uyii. Dragon uni wa da yissin uwane na awa maru ase a molo gono.
5 The woman gave birth to a son, who [is destined] to rule all the nations with [complete authority as if he was using] [MET] an iron rod [MET]. [God] snatched away her child and took him to [rule from] his throne.
Awa maru gono, gona kilime, ulenge na adin cinu usu tigo timyin in yii vat nin sa fikoro. Iwa bolu gono me udu kiti Kutelle udu tigome.
6 The woman fled to a desert. She has a place there that God has prepared for her, in order that [the angels] may take care of her for 1,260 days.
Uwane uni wa cun udu nanya kusho, kti ganga na Kutelle na kyek ghe mun, bara inan su libya me kitene uduru ayiri limui nin nakalt aba nin nakut kutocin.
7 [In the vision I saw that] there was a battle in heaven. Michael and the angels that he [commanded] fought against the dragon. The dragon and his angels fought back [against Michael and his angels].
Nene likun wa fita kitene kani. Mikailu nin nono kadura me su likun nin dragon; a nono kaduru me.
8 But the dragon did not win the battle, so [God] did not allow the dragon and his angels to stay in heaven any longer.
Amma na dragone wadi nin likara nworu a li likure ba. Bara nani na iwa kuru ise kitin so bara ame nin nono kadura me ba.
9 The huge dragon was thrown {[Michael and his angels] threw the huge dragon} out [of heaven]. The dragon is the ancient serpent, [the one] who is called the Devil and Satan. He is the one who deceives [people all over] the earth. He was thrown down to the earth, along with all his angels.
Dragon udya-fiyi fikuse fone na idin yicu kubergenu sa shaita ule na awa rusuzu uyie vat-iwa turunghe udak kutyen, nono kadura me wang iwa turun nani nanghe udak kutyine.
10 Then I heard [someone] in heaven shout loudly, saying, Now our God has saved his people by his power, and he rules everyone! Now the Messiah, the one who is the supreme ruler whom God appointed, has authority to rule all people, because our God has thrown out of heaven the one who accuses our fellow believers! The dragon is the one who accuses them day and night before our God, saying that they have sinned and that God ought to punish them.
In tunna nlanza liwui karau unuzu kitene kani, liworo, “Nene utucu nda, likara nin kipin tigo Kutelle, nin likara in Kristi me. Bara ina turun unan vuruzu linawana bite udu kutyen-ulenge na a vuruzu nani ubun Kutelle lirin nin Kyitik.
11 Our fellow believers overcame the dragon because they never stopped trusting (OR, never stopped telling people about) Jesus, and because they trusted in what Jesus, the one who is like a lamb, accomplished when his blood flowed when he died. Even though those believers wanted to live, they were willing to let people kill them for speaking the truth about him.
Iwa li likara me nin mii kuzara nin liru nshaida mine, bara na iwa us tilai mine kan ba, har udu ukul.
12 So, all you angels living [MTY] in heaven, rejoice! But terrible things will happen to you ungodly people who [MTY] live on the earth and on the ocean, because the devil has come down to you! He is very angry because he knows that he has only a short time during which he can harm people.
Bara nani, sun liburi libo, anun anan kitene natenle, nan na lenge na issosin ku vat. Amma kash in yie nin kurawa bara kugbergenu na tolu ucndak kitimine. A kulung nin nayi ananzang kang, bara na ayiru kubi me nlawa cingilinghari.
13 When the dragon realized that he had been thrown {that [the angels] had thrown him} down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to a son.
Na dragon wa yinin i turunghe udak nanya in yii, amini wa piziru uwane na ana maru gono kilime.
14 But the woman was given two wings like the wings of a very large eagle, in order that she might fly to a desolate place. That is a place [that God] has prepared for her. There she was taken care of {[God’s angels] took care of her} for three and a half years. The serpent, [that is, the dragon], was not able to reach her there.
Amma iwa ni uwane agilit nakara kuzi, bara anan fita udu kiti kanga na ina kyele ghe mun nanya intene, kite na ima di su libya me ku, nin kubi a kubi, nin kugir kubi-kiti kanga na fiyiye wasa fiduru ba.
15 The serpent spewed water like a river from his mouth in the direction of the woman, in order that the water might sweep her away.
Fiyi ye gutuna nmyen nanya nnuu me nafo kigawa, anan se ata fignunan nmyen a yalya uwane anya mun.
16 But the ground helped the woman [by] opening up and swallowing the river that the dragon spewed out from his mouth!
Amma kutyen koni wa bun uwane. ku wa puun unuu me ku mila kigawe na dragone wa guttun unuzu nanya nnuu me.
17 Then the dragon was very angry with the woman, so he went away to fight against [the people who are like] the rest of her descendants. They are the people who obey God’s commandments and who tell other people about Jesus (OR, hold fast to what Jesus taught them).
Ayi in dragone ani wa nana kang anya ama disu likun nin kagisin fimus nwane-alenge na iyinna nin tiduka Kutelle a ushaida nbelen Yisa.
