< 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.
Basa ma, aiboiꞌ te ita manadadꞌiꞌ manaseliꞌ sa sou sia lalai, fo atahori nda feꞌe rita sa: hambu inaꞌ sa aon nenebabataꞌ no relo a. Ana tabu ein sia fulan, ma pake solo mane mana naꞌena nduuꞌ sanahulu rua.
2 She was pregnant. Then, as she was about to give birth, she cried out because she was suffering pain.
Inaꞌ naa mairuꞌ, ma mana nggaeꞌ, huu tein nambeta namedꞌa nae bꞌonggi.
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.
Aiboiꞌ ma, ita manadadꞌiꞌ manaseliꞌ laen sa sou sia lalai. Hambu mengge-buta mbilas monaeꞌ sa. Langgan hitu ma suran sanahulu. Ana pake solo maneꞌ hitu.
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.
Ana sari namopoꞌ nduuꞌ babꞌanggiꞌ esa sia lalai a nendiꞌ ikon. De hela akaꞌ a babꞌanggiꞌ rua. Boe ma ana mbia hendi nduuꞌ naa ra raefafoꞌ rema. Basa de neu nambariiꞌ mbali inaꞌ naa, de nahati losa ana bꞌonggi. Huu ana nae odꞌo anaꞌ naa.
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.
Basa ma, inaꞌ a bꞌonggi ana touꞌ sa, ma Lamatualain aten esa mia sorga nema rambas nala anaꞌ naa, de nendi nisiꞌ Lamatualain fo Anaꞌ naa parenda no Lamatualain sia sorga. Huu Anaꞌ naa, dei fo parenda basa nusaꞌ sia raefafoꞌ no koasa manaseliꞌ.
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.
Ma inaꞌ naa nela nisiꞌ mamana maꞌafuniꞌ sa fo Lamatualain sadꞌia hela fee neꞌ a. Dei fo ara mete-seꞌu e sia naa losa too telu seseriꞌ (naeni fai 1.260).
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].
Basa naa ma, netatis monaeꞌ dadꞌi sia sorga. Lamatulain ate nara ro sira malanggan Mikael ratati labꞌan ro mengge-buta no ana boa nara.
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.
Mikael se rasenggiꞌ mengge-buta a no ana boa nara. Basa ma ara ai mengge-buta no ana boa nara fo afiꞌ sudꞌi leo sia sorga fai.
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.
De ara oi hendiꞌ se mia sorga, de mbia se raefafoꞌ rema. Mengge-buta naa, nitu ra malanggan. Mia fefeun ana akaꞌ lelekoꞌ atahori fo ara tao salaꞌ.
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.
Basa ma au rena haraꞌ monaeꞌ sa mia lalai oi, “Lele uluꞌ a mengge-buta a nambariiꞌ nakandooꞌ a sia Lamatualain matan. Eni, mana nendi haraꞌ pepeko-lelekoꞌ, fo fee salaꞌ neu hita toronoo mamahere nara. Ana akaꞌ fua salaꞌ neu se hatuꞌ-rerelon. Te ia naa ana nenenggari-hendiꞌ mia sorga ena. Dadꞌi ia naa basaꞌ e manadaiꞌ ena. Ia naa fain losa ena fo Lamatualain fee masodꞌaꞌ neu atahori. Ia naa Lamatualain toꞌu parendaꞌ no koasa manaseliꞌ. Ma Ana soꞌu nala Kristus, Atahori fo Ana pili nala dadꞌi maneꞌ neu basa nusaꞌ ra.
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.
Hita toronoo atahori mamahere tara rasenggiꞌ mengge-buta fo maꞌahulun mana mbia salaꞌ neu se, huu Lombo Anaꞌ raan sai fo ose hendi sala nara. Ara o rasenggiꞌ e boe, huu ara rambarani rafadꞌe Lamatualain Dedꞌea-Oꞌolan. Onaꞌ mae atahori ramanasa fo rae risa se o, ara nda dinggoꞌ sa.
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.
Dadꞌi basa mana masodꞌaꞌ sia sorga, musi ramahoꞌo! Ma basa mana masodꞌaꞌ sia raefafoꞌ musi ranea, huu calaka naeꞌ a tudꞌa dai nggi. Nitu ra malanggan onda nisiꞌ nggi. Ana namanasa nae mate, huu ana bubꞌuluꞌ nae, eni fai tao deꞌulakan, naeꞌ a basa ena!”
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.
Leleꞌ mengge-buta a bubꞌuluꞌ nae, eni nenenggariꞌ raefafoꞌ nema, ma ana neu sangga fo nae naꞌasususaꞌ inaꞌ mana bꞌonggi Anaꞌ naa.
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.
Te ara fee inaꞌ naa lidꞌaꞌ rua, onaꞌ mbui nggarudꞌa lidꞌan, fo ana natambele neu keke sia mamana maꞌafuniꞌ mana naꞌadꞌooꞌ mia mengge-buta a. Sia naa, ara tao mataꞌ neu e losa too telu seseriꞌ.
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.
Nita taꞌo naa, ma mengge-buta a nasapupuraꞌ oe onaꞌ oe mandaliꞌ, fo nae nandali nendi inaꞌ naa.
16 But the ground helped the woman [by] opening up and swallowing the river that the dragon spewed out from his mouth!
Te raefafoꞌ tulu-fali inaꞌ naa, no dalaꞌ rae a natangga fo musi hendi oe mana mandaliꞌ mia mengge-buta bafan, fo afiꞌ nandali losa inaꞌ naa.
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).
Boe ma, mengge-buta a namanasa inaꞌ naa seli. De ana neu natati no inaꞌ a ana fea nara naeni atahori mana rasodꞌa tungga Lamatualain parendan, ma dui-bꞌengga rakandooꞌ a Yesus Hara-lii malolen.
