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.
१आणि स्वर्गात एक महान चिन्ह दिसले; सूर्य परिधान केलेली एक स्त्री, तिच्या पायाखाली चंद्र होता आणि तिच्या डोक्यावर बारा ताऱ्यांचा मुकुट होता.
2 She was pregnant. Then, as she was about to give birth, she cried out because she was suffering pain.
२ती स्त्री गरोदर होती व बाळंतपणाच्या वेदनांनी ती ओरडत होती.
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.
३आणि स्वर्गात दुसरे एक चिन्ह दिसले. पाहा! तेथे एक मोठा, लाल अजगर; त्यास सात डोकी व दहा शिंगे होती आणि त्याच्या डोक्यांवर सात मुकुट होते.
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.
४त्याच्या शेपटाने आकाशातील तिसरा हिस्सा तारे खाली ओढून काढले आणि त्यांना पृथ्वीवर पाडले; आणि जी स्त्री प्रसूत होणार होती तिचे मूल जन्मताच गिळून घ्यावे म्हणून अजगर तिच्यापुढे उभा राहिला.
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.
५आणि सर्व राष्ट्रांवर लोहदंडाने अधिकार चालवील अशा मुलास म्हणजे पुसंतानास तिने जन्म दिला; त्या मुलाला देवाकडे व त्याच्या राजासनाकडे उचलून नेण्यात आले.
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.
६आणि ती स्त्री रानात पळाली; तेथे तिची एक हजार दोनशे साठ दिवस काळजी घेण्यात यावी म्हणून तिच्यासाठी देवाने तयार केलेले ठिकाण आहे.
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].
७आणि स्वर्गात युद्ध झाले; मिखाएल व त्याचे दूत हे अजगराबरोबर लढले आणि अजगर व त्याचे दूत हे सुद्धा त्यांच्याशी लढले.
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.
८पण अजगर जिंकण्यास तितका बलवान नव्हता आणि त्यापुढे स्वर्गात त्यास व त्याच्या दूतांना स्थान उरले नाही.
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.
९तो मोठा अजगर, सैतान म्हटलेला तोच तो जुनाट साप होय. तो संपूर्ण जगाला फसवतो. त्या सापाला त्याच्या दूतांसह पृथ्वीवर टाकण्यात आले.
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.
१०आणि मी स्वर्गात एक मोठा आवाज ऐकला; त्याचे शब्द असे होते, आता आमच्या देवाचे तारण आणि सामर्थ्य आणि राज्य आले आहे. आणि त्याच्या ख्रिस्ताचा अधिकार हे प्रकट झाले आहेत; कारण आमच्या भावांना दोष देणारा आमच्या देवापुढे स्वर्गात जो त्यांच्यावर रात्रंदिवस आरोप करीत असे, तो खाली टाकण्यात आला आहे.
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.
११त्यांनी कोकऱ्याच्या रक्ताद्वारे, आपल्या साक्षीच्या वचनाद्वारे, त्याच्यावर विजय मिळवला आहे. आणि त्यांना मरावे लागले तरी त्यांनी आपल्या जीवावर प्रीती केली नाही.
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.
१२म्हणून स्वर्गांनो आणि त्यामध्ये राहणाऱ्यांनो, आनंद करा पृथ्वी आणि समुद्र ह्यावर अनर्थ ओढवला आहे, कारण सैतान खाली तुमच्याकडे मोठ्या रागाने आला आहे. कारण आपणाला थोडकाच काळ राहिला आहे, हे तो जाणतो.
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.
१३आणि अजगराने बघितले की, त्यास पृथ्वीवर टाकण्यात आले आहे, तेव्हा जिने एका मुलाला जन्म दिला होता त्या स्त्रीचा त्याने पाठलाग केला.
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.
१४परंतु स्त्रीने सापाच्या पुढून तिच्या रानातल्या ठिकाणी उडून जावे म्हणून तिला मोठ्या गरुडाचे दोन पंख देण्यात आले; आणि तेथे ती सर्पापासून सुरक्षित राहत असताना एक काळ, दोन काळ आणि अर्धकाळ तिचे पोषण केले जाईल.
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.
१५आणि ती स्त्री पुराने वाहून जाईल असे करावे म्हणून, त्या सर्पाने तिच्या मागोमाग आपल्या तोंडातून नदीसारखे पाणी ओतले.
16 But the ground helped the woman [by] opening up and swallowing the river that the dragon spewed out from his mouth!
१६पण भूमीने स्त्रीला मदत केली; आणि अजगराने तोंडातून सोडलेली नदी भूमीने तोंड उघडून गिळून घेतली.
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).
१७तेव्हा अजगर स्त्रीवर रागावला व जे तिच्या संतानातून उरलेले, देवाच्या आज्ञा पाळणारे आणि येशूची साक्ष देणारे त्यांच्याशी लढाई करायला गेला;
