< Revelation 12 >
1 A great sign was seen in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
Elembo moko ya monene emonanaki na likolo, ezalaki mwasi moko. Alataki moyi lokola elamba, sanza ezalaki na se ya matambe na ye, mpe, na moto na ye, alataki motole oyo ezalaki na minzoto zomi na mibale.
2 She was with child. She cried out in pain, labouring to give birth.
Azalaki na zemi mpe, lokola azalaki koyoka pasi ya kobota, azalaki koganga makasi mpo na pasi.
3 Another sign was seen in heaven. Behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven crowns.
Sima na yango, elembo mosusu emonanaki na likolo, ezalaki dalagona moko ya monene mpe ya motane. Dalagona yango ezalaki na mito sambo mpe maseke zomi; mpe na mito wana sambo, moko na moko ezalaki na motole.
4 His tail drew one third of the stars of the sky, and threw them to the earth. The dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her child.
Mokila na yango ekombolaki eteni moko kati na biteni misato ya minzoto ya likolo mpe ebwakaki yango na mabele. Dalagona etelemaki liboso ya mwasi oyo azalaki koyoka pasi ya kobota mpo ete elia mwana na ye tango kaka akobotama.
5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron. Her child was caught up to God and to his throne.
Nzokande, mwasi yango abotaki mwana mobali oyo akokamba bikolo nyonso na nzela ya lingenda ya ebende. Bongo mwana na ye amemamaki epai ya Nzambe mpe epai ya Kiti na Ye ya Bokonzi.
6 The woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that there they may nourish her one thousand and two hundred and sixty days.
Mwasi yango akimaki na esobe epai wapi Nzambe abongiselaki ye ebombamelo, mpo ete asungama kuna mikolo nkoto moko na nkama mibale na tuku motoba.
7 There was war in the sky. Michael and his angels made war on the dragon. The dragon and his angels made war.
Bongo etumba ekweyaki kuna na likolo: Misheli elongo na ba-anjelu na ye babundisaki dalagona, mpe dalagona elongo na ba-anjelu na yango ebundisaki Misheli elongo na ba-anjelu na ye.
8 They didn’t prevail. No place was found for them any more in heaven.
Kasi dalagona elongaki te; boye dalagona yango elongo na ba-anjelu na yango ebungisaki esika na yango kuna na likolo.
9 The great dragon was thrown down, the old serpent, he who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
Babwakaki dalagona monene, nyoka ya kala, oyo babengaka zabolo to Satana, oyo akosaka mokili mobimba. Ebwakamaki na mabele elongo na ba-anjelu na yango.
10 I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation, the power, and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ has come; for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them before our God day and night.
Bongo nayokaki, kati na Lola, mongongo moko ya makasi koloba: « Tango ya lobiko, ya nguya, ya Bokonzi ya Nzambe na biso, mpe ya nguya ya Klisto na Ye ekoki. Pamba te Mofundi ya bandeko na biso, oyo afundaka bango butu mpe moyi, liboso ya Nzambe na biso, abwakami na mokili.
11 They overcame him because of the Lamb’s blood, and because of the word of their testimony. They didn’t love their life, even to death.
Kasi bango balongi ye na nzela ya makila ya Mpate, mpe na nzela ya liloba ya litatoli na bango; balingaki te bomoi na bango kino kondima ata kokufa.
12 Therefore rejoice, heavens, and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and to the sea, because the devil has gone down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has but a short time.”
Yango wana, yo Lola, sepela; mpe bino bavandi ya Lola, bosepela! Kasi mawa na mokili mpe na ebale monene, pamba te Satana akiti epai na bino! Atondi na kanda, pamba te ayebi malamu ete atikali kaka na tango moke. »
13 When the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child.
Tango dalagona emonaki ete ebwakami na mokili, ekomaki kolanda mwasi oyo abotaki mwana mobali.
14 Two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, so that she might be nourished for a time, times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
Kasi mapapu nyonso mibale ya mpongo moko ya monene epesamaki na mwasi yango mpo ete apumbwa kino na esika na ye, na esobe epai wapi asengeli kosungama, mosika ya nyoka, mpo na tango moko, mpo na batango, mpe mpo na ndambo ya tango.
15 The serpent spewed water out of his mouth after the woman like a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream.
Bongo nyoka esanzaki wuta na monoko na yango, na sima ya mwasi, mayi ebele lokola ebale, mpo ete atiola na mbonge na yango.
16 The earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon spewed out of his mouth.
Kasi mabele esungaki mwasi, efungolaki monoko na yango mpe emelaki ebale oyo dalagona esanzaki wuta na monoko na yango.
17 The dragon grew angry with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep God’s commandments and hold Jesus’ testimony.
Bongo dalagona esilikelaki mwasi mpe ekendeki kobundisa bana na ye mosusu, ba-oyo batosaka mibeko ya Nzambe mpe bakangamaka makasi na litatoli na bango na tina na Yesu.
