Revelation 12
1 A great sign was seen in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and with the moon under her feet, and a crown of twelve stars was on her head.
Et signum magnum apparuit in cælo: Mulier amicta sole, et luna sub pedibus eius, et in capite eius corona stellarum duodecim:
2 She was pregnant, and she was crying out in birth pains, in the anguish of childbirth.
et in utero habens, clamabat parturiens, et cruciabatur ut pariat.
3 Then another sign was seen in heaven: Look! There was a huge red dragon that had seven heads and ten horns, and there were seven crowns on his heads.
Et visum est aliud signum in cælo: et ecce draco magnus rufus habens capita septem, et cornua decem: et in capitibus eius diademata septem,
4 His tail swept away a third of the stars in heaven and hurled them down to the earth. The dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth, he would devour her child.
et cauda eius trahebat tertiam partem stellarum cæli, et misit eas in terram, et draco stetit ante mulierem, quæ erat paritura: ut cum peperisset, filium eius devoraret.
5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who would rule all the nations with an iron rod. Her child was snatched away to God and to his throne,
Et peperit filium masculum, qui recturus erat omnes Gentes in virga ferrea: et raptus est filius eius ad Deum, et ad thronum eius,
6 and the woman fled into the wilderness, where God had prepared a place for her, so she could be taken care of for 1,260 days.
et mulier fugit in solitudinem ubi habebat locum paratum a Deo, ut ibi pascant eam diebus mille ducentis sexaginta.
7 Now there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought back.
Et factum est prælium magnum in cælo: Michael et angeli eius præliabantur cum dracone, et draco pugnabat, et angeli eius:
8 But the dragon was not strong enough to win. So there was no longer any place in heaven for him and his angels.
et non valuerunt, neque locus inventus est eorum amplius in cælo.
9 The great dragon—that old serpent called the devil or Satan, who deceives the whole world—was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
Et proiectus est draco ille magnus, serpens antiquus, qui vocatur diabolus, et satanas, qui seducit universum orbem: et proiectus est in terram, et angeli eius cum illo missi sunt.
10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, the one who accused them before our God day and night.
Et audivi vocem magnam in cælo dicentem: Nunc facta est salus, et virtus, et regnum Dei nostri, et potestas Christi eius: quia proiectus est accusator fratrum nostrorum, qui accusabat illos ante conspectum Dei nostri die ac nocte.
11 They conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they did not love their lives even to death.
Et ipsi vicerunt eum propter sanguinem Agni, et propter verbum testimonii sui, et non dilexerunt animas suas usque ad mortem.
12 Therefore rejoice you heavens, and all who reside in them! But woe to the earth and to the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with terrible anger because he has only a little time!
propterea lætamini cæli, et qui habitatis in eis. Væ terræ, et mari, quia descendit diabolus ad vos, habens iram magnam, sciens quod modicum tempus habet.
13 When the dragon realized he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.
Et postquam vidit draco quod proiectus esset in terram, persecutus est mulierem, quæ peperit masculum:
14 But the woman was given the two wings of a great eagle, so that she would flee to the place prepared for her in the wilderness. This was the place where she would be taken care of, for a time, times, and half a time—out of the serpent's presence.
et datæ sunt mulieri alæ duæ aquilæ magnæ ut volaret in desertum in locum suum, ubi alitur per tempus et tempora, et dimidium temporis a facie serpentis.
15 The serpent poured water out of his mouth like a river, that he would make a flood to sweep her away.
Et misit serpens ex ore suo post mulierem, aquam tamquam flumen, ut eam faceret trahi a flumine.
16 But the earth helped the woman. The earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river that the dragon was pouring out of his mouth.
Et adiuvit terra mulierem, et aperuit terra os suum, et absorbuit flumen, quod misit draco de ore suo.
17 Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to wage war with the rest of her descendants, those who obey God's commandments and hold to the testimony about Jesus.
Et iratus est draco in mulierem: et abiit facere prælium cum reliquis de semine eius, qui custodiunt mandata Dei, et habent testimonium Iesu Christi.
