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.
Isang dakilang tanda ang nakita sa langit: isang babae na dinamitan ng araw, at ang buwan ay nasa ilalim ng kaniyang paa; at nasa ulo niya ay korona ng labing dalawang bituin
2 She was pregnant. Then, as she was about to give birth, she cried out because she was suffering pain.
Siya ay buntis at sumisigaw sa sakit ng pagsisilang—sa sakit ng panganganak.
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 may isa pang tanda ang nakita sa langit. Tingnan mo! May isang malaking pulang dragon na may pitong ulo at sampung sungay, at may pitong korona sa kaniyang mga ulo.
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.
Tinaboy ng kaniyang buntot ang ikatlong bahagi ng mga bituin sa langit at inihulog pababa sa lupa. Tumayo ang dragon sa harap ng babae na malapit nang magsilang, kaya nang siya ay nagsilang, gusto niyang ay lamunin ang kaniyang anak.
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.
Nagsilang siya ng isang anak, isang batang lalaki, na siyang maghahari sa lahat ng mga bansa nang may tungkod na bakal. Inagaw ang kaniyang anak papunta sa Diyos at sa kaniyang trono,
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 papunta sa ilang, kung saan inihanda ng Diyos ng lugar para sa kaniya, kaya maalagaan siya ng 1, 260 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].
Ngayon may labanan doon sa langit. Si Michael at ang kaniyang mga anghel ay nakipaglaban sa dragon; at lumaban pabalik ang dragon at ang kaniyang mga anghel.
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.
Pero ang dragon ay hindi gaanong malakas para manalo. Kaya wala ng natitirang lugar sa langit para sa kaniya at sa kaniyang mga anghel.
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.
Ang dakilang dragon — ang dating ahas na tinawag na demonyo o Satanas na nanlilinlang sa buong mundo— ay tinapon pababa sa lupa, at ang kaniyang mga anghel ay itinapon pababa kasama siya.
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.
Pagkatapos narinig ko ang isang malakas na tinig sa langit, “Ngayon narito na ang kaligtasan, ang kapangyarihan — at ang kaharian ng ating Diyos, at ang kapangyarihan ng kaniyang Cristo. Dahil ang taga-paratang ng ating mga kapatid ay naitapon na pababa — siyang nagparatang sa kanila araw at gabi sa harap ng ating Diyos.
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.
Siya ay kanilang nilupig sa pamamagitan ng dugo ng Kordero at sa pamamagitan ng kanilang patotoo, dahil hindi nila minahal ang kanilang buhay nang higit, kahit 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, magalak, kayong mga langit, at lahat ng naninirahan sa kanila. Pero kaawa-awa ang nasa lupa at ang nasa dagat dahil ang demonyo ay bumaba sa inyo. Napuno siya ng nakasisindak na galit, dahil alam niya na kakaunti lamang ang kaniyang oras.
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.
Nang mapagtanto ng dragon na siya ay itinapon sa lupa, hinanap niya ang babaing nagsilang ng batang lalaki.
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.
Pero ang babae ay binigyan ng dalawang pakpak ng isang malaking agila, kaya siya ay nakalipad sa lugar na inihanda para sa kaniya sa ilang, ang lugar kung saan siya mapapangalagaan, sa loob ng isang oras, maraming oras at kalahating oras—na malayong maabot ng ahas.
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.
Nagbuga ng tubig mula sa kaniyang bibig ang ahas tulad ng isang ilog, kaya nakagawa ng isang baha para tangayin siya.
16 But the ground helped the woman [by] opening up and swallowing the river that the dragon spewed out from his mouth!
Pero tinulungan ng lupa ang babae. Binuksan nito ang kaniyang bibig at nilunok ng ilog ang binuga ng dragon mula 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).
Pagkatapos sumiklab ang galit ng dragon sa babae at umalis para makipagdigma sa mga natitirang kaapu-apuhan niya - silang mga sumunod sa mga kautusan ng Diyos at pinanghawakan ang mga patotoo tungkol kay Jesus.
