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.
In znamenje veliko se je videlo na nebu: žena oblečena sè solncem, in mesec pod njenimi nogami, in na glavi njeni venec dvanajsterih zvezd;
2 She was pregnant. Then, as she was about to give birth, she cried out because she was suffering pain.
In noseča kriči v bolečinah in mukah porodnih.
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.
In videlo se je drugo znamenje na nebu, in glej: zmaj velik, ognjen, imajoč sedem glav in rogov deset, in na glavah njegovih sedem dijademov;
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.
In rep njegov potegne tretjino zvezd nebeških in jih vrže na zemljo. In zmaj stopi pred ženo, katera ima poroditi, da, ko bode porodila, požre dete njeno.
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.
In rodila je sina, kateri bode pasel vse narode s palico železno; in zgrabljeno je bilo dete njeno pred Boga in prestol njegov.
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.
In žena je bežala v puščavo, kjer ima kraj pripravljen od Boga, da jo tam živé dnî tisoč dvé sto šestdeset.
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].
In nastala je vojska na nebu; Mihael in angeli njegovi so se vojskovali zoper zmaja, in zmaj se je vojskoval in angeli njegovi;
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.
In niso zmogli, in mesto njih ni se več našlo na nebu;
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.
In vržen je bil zmaj véliki, kača stara, z imenom hudič, in satan, ki slepi vesoljni svet, vržen je bil na zemljo, in angeli njegovi so bili vrženi z njim.
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 čul sem glas velik, govoreč na nebu: Zdaj je zveličanje in moč in kraljestvo postalo Boga našega in oblast Kristusa njegovega; ker vržen je dol naših bratov tožnik, kateri jih je tožil pred Bogom našim noč in dan.
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.
In oni so ga premagali po krvi jagnjetovi, in po besedi pričanja svojega, in ljubili niso življenja svojega do smrti.
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.
Zato veselite se nebesa in kateri prebivate v njih; gorjé prebivalcem zemlje in morja, ker dol je šel hudič k vam imajoč jezo veliko, vedoč, da ima malo časa.
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.
In ko je videl zmaj, da je vržen na zemljo, preganjal je ženo, ki je rodila sina.
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.
In dali ste se ženi dve peroti orla vélikega, da poleti v puščavo, na kraj svoj, kjer se živi tam čas in čase in časa pol, od obličja kače.
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.
In vrgla je kača zad za ženo iz ust svojih vodo kakor reko, da bi jo reka odnesla.
16 But the ground helped the woman [by] opening up and swallowing the river that the dragon spewed out from his mouth!
In pomogla je ženi zemlja, in odprla je zemlja usta svoja in popila reko, katero je bil vrgel zmaj iz svojih ust.
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).
In razsrdi se zmaj nad ženo in gre napravit vojsko z ostalimi semena njenega, kateri hranijo zapovedi Božje in imajo pričanje Jezusa Kristusa.
