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.
At ang isang dakilang tanda ay nakita sa langit: isang babae na nararamtan ng araw, at ang buwan ay nasa ilalim ng kaniyang mga paa, at sa kaniyang ulo ay may isang putong na labingdalawang bituin;
2 She was pregnant. Then, as she was about to give birth, she cried out because she was suffering pain.
At siya'y nagdadalang tao; at siya'y sumisigaw, na nagdaramdam sa panganganak, at sa hirap upang manganak.
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.
At ang ibang tanda ay nakita sa langit: at narito, ang isang malaking dragong mapula, na may pitong ulo at sangpung sungay, at sa kaniyang mga ulo'y may pitong diadema.
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.
At kinaladkad ng kaniyang buntot ang ikatlong bahagi ng mga bituin sa langit, at ipinaghagis sa lupa: at lumagay ang dragon sa harapan ng babaing manganganak na, upang lamunin ang kaniyang anak pagkapanganak niya.
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.
At siya'y nanganak ng isang anak na lalake, na maghahari na may panghampas na bakal sa lahat ng mga bansa: at ang kaniyang anak ay inagaw na dinala hanggang sa Dios, at hanggang sa kaniyang luklukan.
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.
At tumakas ang babae sa ilang, na doon siya'y ipinaghanda ng Dios ng isang dako, upang doon siya ampuning isang libo dalawang daan at anim na pung araw.
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].
At nagkaroon ng pagbabaka sa langit: si Miguel at ang kaniyang mga anghel ay nakipagbaka sa dragon; at ang dragon at ang kaniyang mga anghel ay nakipagbaka;
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.
At hindi sila nanganalo, ni nasumpungan pa man ang kanilang dako sa langit.
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.
At inihagis ang malaking dragon, ang matandang ahas, ang tinatawag na Diablo at Satanas, ang dumadaya sa buong sanglibutan; siya'y inihagis sa lupa, at ang kaniyang mga anghel ay inihagis na kasama niya.
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.
At narinig ko ang isang malakas na tinig sa langit, na nagsasabi, Ngayo'y dumating ang kaligtasan, at ang kapangyarihan, at ang kaharian ng ating Dios, at ang kapamahalaan ng kaniyang Cristo: sapagka't inihagis na ang tagapagsumbong sa ating mga kapatid na siyang sa kanila'y nagsusumbong sa harapan ng ating Dios araw at gabi.
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.
At siya'y kanilang dinaig dahil sa dugo ng Cordero, at dahil sa salita ng kanilang patotoo, at hindi nila inibig ang kanilang buhay hanggang sa kamatayan.
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.
Kaya't mangagalak kayo, Oh mga langit at kayong nagsisitahan diyan. Sa aba ng lupa at ng dagat: sapagka't ang diablo'y bumaba sa inyo, na may malaking galit, sa pagkaalam niya na kaunting panahon na lamang mayroon siya.
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.
At nang makita ng dragon na siya'y inihagis sa lupa, ay inusig niya ang babaing nanganak ng sanggol na lalake.
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.
At sa babae'y ibinigay ang dalawang pakpak ng agilang malaki, upang ilipad sa ilang mula sa harap ng ahas hanggang sa kaniyang tahanan, na pinagkandilihan sa kaniyang isang panahon, at mga panahon, at kalahati ng isang panahon.
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.
At ang ahas ay nagbuga sa kaniyang bibig sa likuran ng babae ng tubig na gaya ng isang ilog, upang maipatangay siya sa agos.
16 But the ground helped the woman [by] opening up and swallowing the river that the dragon spewed out from his mouth!
At tinulungan ng lupa ang babae, at ibinuka ang kaniyang bibig at nilamon ang ilog na ibinuga ng dragon sa kaniyang bibig.
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).
At nagalit ang dragon sa babae, at umalis upang bumaka sa nalabi sa kaniyang binhi, na siyang nagsisitupad ng mga utos ng Dios, at mga may patotoo ni Jesus:
