Revelation 12
1 And a great marvel was seen in Heaven-- a woman who was robed with the sun and had the moon under her feet, and had also a wreath of stars round her head, was with child,
Et signum magnum apparuit in caelo: Mulier amicta sole, et luna sub pedibus eius, et in capite eius corona stellarum duodecim:
2 and she was crying out in the pains and agony of childbirth.
et in utero habens, clamabat parturiens, et cruciabatur ut pariat.
3 And another marvel was seen in Heaven--a great fiery-red Dragon, with seven heads and ten horns; and on his heads were seven kingly crowns.
Et visum est aliud signum in caelo: et ecce draco magnus rufus habens capita septem, et cornua decem: et in capitibus eius diademata septem,
4 His tail was drawing after it a third part of the stars of Heaven, and it dashed them to the ground. And in front of the woman who was about to become a mother, the Dragon was standing in order to devour the child as soon as it was born.
et cauda eius trahebat tertiam partem stellarum caeli, et misit eas in terram, et draco stetit ante mulierem, quae erat paritura: ut cum peperisset, filium eius devoraret.
5 She gave birth to a son--a male child, destined before long to rule all nations with an iron scepter. But her child was caught up to God and 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 Desert, there to be cared for, for 1,260 days, in a place which God had prepared for her.
et mulier fugit in solitudinem ubi habebat locum paratum a Deo, ut ibi pascant eam diebus mille ducentis sexaginta.
7 And war broke out in Heaven, Michael and his angels engaging in battle with the Dragon.
Et factum est proelium magnum in caelo: Michael et angeli eius proeliabantur cum dracone, et draco pugnabat, et angeli eius:
8 The Dragon fought and so did his angels; but they were defeated, and there was no longer any room found for them in Heaven.
et non valuerunt, neque locus inventus est eorum amplius in caelo.
9 The great Dragon, the ancient serpent, he who is called 'the Devil' and 'the Adversary' and leads the whole earth astray, was hurled down: he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled 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 speaking in Heaven. It said, "The salvation and the power and the Kingdom of our God have now come, and the sovereignty of His Christ; for the accuser of our brethren has been hurled down--he who, day after day and night after night, was wont to accuse them in the presence of God.
Et audivi vocem magnam in caelo 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 But they have gained the victory over him because of the blood of the Lamb and of the testimony which they have borne, and because they held their lives cheap and did not shrink even from death.
Et ipsi vicerunt eum propter sanguinem Agni, et propter verbum testimonii sui, et non dilexerunt animas suas usque ad mortem.
12 For this reason be glad, O Heaven, and you who live in Heaven! Alas for the earth and the sea! For the Devil has come down to you; full of fierce anger, because he knows that his appointed time is short."
propterea laetamini caeli, et qui habitatis in eis. Vae terrae, et mari, quia descendit diabolus ad vos, habens iram magnam, sciens quod modicum tempus habet.
13 And when the Dragon saw that he was hurled down to the earth, he went in pursuit of the woman who had given birth to the male child.
Et postquam vidit draco quod proiectus esset in terram, persecutus est mulierem, quae peperit masculum:
14 Then, the two wings of a great eagle were given to the woman to enable her to fly away into the Desert to the place assigned her, there to be cared for, for a period of time, two periods of time, and half a period of time, beyond the reach of the serpent.
et datae sunt mulieri alae duae aquilae magnae ut volaret in desertum in locum suum, ubi alitur per tempus et tempora, et dimidium temporis a facie serpentis.
15 And the serpent poured water from his mouth--a very river it seemed--after the woman, in the hope that she would be carried away by its flood.
Et misit serpens ex ore suo post mulierem, aquam tamquam flumen, ut eam faceret trahi a flumine.
16 But the earth came to the woman's help: it opened its mouth and drank up the river which the Dragon had poured from his mouth.
Et adiuvit terra mulierem, et aperuit terra os suum, et absorbuit flumen, quod misit draco de ore suo.
17 This made the Dragon furiously angry with the woman, and he went elsewhere to make war upon her other children--those who keep God's commandments and hold fast to the testimony of Jesus.
Et iratus est draco in mulierem: et abiit facere proelium cum reliquis de semine eius, qui custodiunt mandata Dei, et habent testimonium Iesu Christi.
