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.
Dzesi gã wɔnuku aɖe dze le dziƒo. Nyɔnu aɖe si ta ɣe abe avɔ ene, ɣleti le eƒe afɔ te, eye wòɖɔ fiakuku si ŋu ɣletivi wuieve le la va do.
2 She was with child. She cried out in pain, laboring to give birth.
Fu nɔ eƒo, eye wònɔ ɣli dom esi wònɔ ku lém be yeadzi vi.
3 Another sign was seen in heaven. Behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven crowns.
Emegbe la, dzesi bubu gadze le dziƒo: ʋɔ driba gã dzẽ aɖe si to ta adre, dzo ewo, eye fiakuku adre le tawo nɛ la va do.
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.
Eƒe asike kplɔ ɣletivi siwo le dziŋgɔli ŋu la ƒe mama etɔ̃ ƒe ɖeka, eye wòhe wo ƒu gbe ɖe anyigba. Ʋɔ driba la nɔ tsitre ɖe nyɔnu si nɔ ku lém la ŋkume, eye wòle klalo be yeavuvu vidzĩ si nyɔnu la adzi la.
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.
Nyɔnu la dzi ŋutsuvi, ame si ava aɖu dukɔwo katã dzi kple gatikplɔ. Tete woxɔ ɖevi la le esi kaba tsɔ yi ɖe Mawu kple eƒe fiazikpui la gbɔe.
6 The woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that there they may nourish her one thousand two hundred sixty days.
Emegbe la, nyɔnu la si yi gbedzi le teƒe si Mawu dzra ɖo ɖi nɛ, afi si woakpɔ eta le hena ŋkeke akpe ɖeka alafa eve blaade.
7 There was war in the sky. Michael and his angels made war on the dragon. The dragon and his angels made war.
Eye aʋa dzɔ le dziƒo. Maikel kple eƒe mawudɔlawo wɔ aʋa kple ʋɔ driba la, eye ʋɔ driba la kple eƒe dɔlawo hã wɔ aʋa kpli wo.
8 They didn’t prevail. No place was found for them any more in heaven.
Ke ʋɔ driba la ƒe ŋusẽ metri akɔ o, ale wobu woƒe nɔƒe le dziƒo.
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.
Wotsɔ ʋɔ driba gã la, da xoxo si woyɔna be gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ alo Abosam, ame si kplɔ xexea me katã trae la ƒu gbe. Wotsɔ eya ŋutɔ kple eƒe dɔlawo ƒu gbe ɖe anyigba.
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.
Tete mese gbe sesẽ aɖe tso dziƒo le gbɔgblɔm be, “Azɔ ko míaƒe Mawu la ƒe ɖeɖe, ŋusẽ kple fiaɖuƒe la kple eƒe Kristo ƒe dziɖuɖu ƒe ŋusẽ la va ɖo, elabena wotsɔ mía nɔviawo nu tsola, ame si nɔa wo nu tsom zã kple keli le Mawu ŋkume la ƒu gbe ɖe anyigba.
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.
Woɖu edzi to Alẽvi la ƒe ʋu kple woƒe ɖaseɖiɖi me. Womelɔ̃ woƒe agbe nenema gbegbe be woayi sisi ge le ku nu o,
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.”
eya ta dzi nedzɔ mi, mi dziƒowo kple mi ame siwo nɔ wo me la! Ke baba na anyigba kple atsiaƒu, elabena Abosam ɖi va mia gbɔ! Dzi le ekum vevie, elabena enyae be yeƒe ɣeyiɣi la le kpuie.”
13 When the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child.
Esi ʋɔ driba la kpɔ be wotsɔ ye ƒu gbe ɖe anyigba la, eti nyɔnu si dzi ŋutsuvi la yome.
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.
Wotsɔ hɔ̃ gã aɖe ƒe aʋala eveawo na nyɔnu la, ale be wòate ŋu adzo ayi ɖe teƒe si wodzra ɖo ɖi nɛ le gbedzi, afi si woakpɔ eta le hena ɣeyiɣi aɖe, ɣeyiɣiwo kple ɣeyiɣi afã le afi si ʋɔ driba la mate ŋu ade o la.
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.
Tete ʋɔ driba la tu tsi to eƒe nu me, esi ɖuɖu abe tɔsisi ene, ne wòaɖɔ alé nyɔnu la, eye tɔsisi la nakplɔe adzoe.
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.
Ke anyigba la kpe ɖe nyɔnu la ŋu esi wòke eƒe nu hemi tɔsisi si ʋɔ driba la tu to eƒe nu me la.
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.
Dzi ku ʋɔ driba la vevie ɖe nyɔnu la ŋu, eye wòyi be yeaɖawɔ aʋa kple eƒe dzidzimevi mamlɛawo, ame siwo ɖoa to Mawu kple eƒe sededewo, eye wolé Yesu ƒe ɖaseɖiɖi me ɖe asi sesĩe la.
