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.
Tendrek’ andindìñe eñe amy zao ty viloñe jabajaba: ty rakemba misaroñe i àndroy, naho ambanem-pandia’eo i volañey vaho añambone’e eo ty sabaka amam-basiañe folo ro’amby.
2 She was pregnant. Then, as she was about to give birth, she cried out because she was suffering pain.
Nivesatse re le nikoiakoiak’ ami’ty fanaintaiñam-pitsongoa’e vaho nañèñe te hisamake.
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.
Le nisodehañe andindìñe eñe ty viloñe tovo’e: Inge ty fañaneñe mena ra’elahy, aman-doha fito naho tsifa folo vaho sabakam-pifeheañe fito amy loha’e rey.
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.
Piniopio’ ty ohi’e ty fahatelo’ o vasian-dikerañeo vaho nahirirì’e mb’an-tane atoy. Le nijagarodoñe aolo’ i rakemba hisamakey i fañaneñey, hampibotseke i ana’ey vata’e toly.
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.
Le nisamak’ anadahy re, ty lahilahy hifehe ze hene tane an-kobay viñe; fe hinaoke mb’aman’ Añahare naho mb’amy fiambesa’ey añe i Ana’ey.
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.
Nibotatsake mb’am-babangoañe añe amy zao i rakembay mb’ami’ty toetse hinalankan’ Añahare ho aze; le hatraheñe ao ampara’ te ritse ty andro arivo-tsi-roanjato-tsi-enempolo.
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].
Nipoak’ amy zao ty hotakotak’ andindìñe ey: nifandrapak’ amy fañaneñey t’i Mikaele naho o anjeli’eo; namale amañ’aly ka i fañaneñey naho o anjeli’eo,
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.
f’ie tsy nahagioke, mbore tsy nanjoañe toetse andindìñe ao.
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.
Nahifik’ ambane i fañaneñe jabajabay—i fañaneñe haehae atao: devoly naho mpañìnjey, ie mampandridrìke ty voatse toy iaby. Rinoake mb’an-tane atoy re, le nindre siniots’ ama’e o anjeli’eo.
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.
Le tsinanoko ty fiarañanañañe mafe andindìñe ao nanao ty hoe: Fa totsake henaneo ty fandrebahañe naho ty haozarañe naho ty fifehean’ Añaharen-tikañe, vaho ty lili’ i Noriza’ey. Amy te navokovoko ambane ty mpanisý o roahalahin-tikañeo, ie nanisia’e añatrefan’Añaharen-tika eo handro an-kaleñey,
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.
Rineba’ iareo ami’ty lio’ i Vik’añondriy naho ami’ty tsaram-pitaroña’ iareo; tsy nikokoa’ iareo ty fiai’iareo ndra te niatre-kavilasy.
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.
Mirebeha arè ry likerañeo naho o mpimoneñe am’ iereoo! Feh’ohatse an-tane atoy naho amy riakey, fa nimb’ama’ areo ao i mpañìnjey! lifo-pifombo, amy te apota’e te tomotse o andro’eo.
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.
Ie niisa’ i fañaneñey te tafa-toke an-tane, le nisamporerahe’e i rakemba nisamake i lahilahiy.
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.
Fe tinolotse elatse roe boak’ amy bantio ra’elahiy i rakembay, hitiliña’e hisitak’ an-tarehe’ i fañaneñey mb’ an-dratraratra añe mb’amy toe’e mb’eo; añe re ro hatraheñe taoñe raike naho taoñe roe vaho vaki-taoñe.
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.
Le nafotroa’ i fañaneñey ty rano boak’ amy montsili’ey hoe sorotombake hañoridañe i rakembay hasio’e amy fisorotombahañey.
16 But the ground helped the woman [by] opening up and swallowing the river that the dragon spewed out from his mouth!
Fe nañolotse i rakembay ty tane toy naho sinoka’ i taney ty vava’e niteleñe i saka nafotroa’ i fañaneñey hirik’am-bava’ey.
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).
Akore ty fidabadoà’ i fañaneñey amy rakembay, kanao nionjoñe amy zao re hialy amo ana’e sisao—o mañambeñe o lilin’ Añahareo naho ama’e ty taro’ Iesoà Norizañey.
