Αποκαλυψις Ιωαννου 12
1 και σημειον μεγα ωφθη εν τω ουρανω γυνη περιβεβλημενη τον ηλιον και η σεληνη υποκατω των ποδων αυτησ και επι τησ κεφαλησ αυτησ στεφανοσ αστερων δωδεκα
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.
2 και εν γαστρι εχουσα εκραζεν ωδινουσα και βασανιζομενη τεκειν
She was pregnant, and she was crying out in birth pains, in the anguish of childbirth.
3 και ωφθη αλλο σημειον εν τω ουρανω και ιδου δρακων πυροσ μεγασ εχων κεφαλασ επτα και κερατα δεκα και επι τασ κεφαλασ αυτου επτα διαδηματα
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.
4 και η ουρα αυτου συρει το τριτον των αστερων του ουρανου και εβαλεν αυτουσ εισ την γην και ο δρακων εστηκεν ενωπιον τησ γυναικοσ τησ μελλουσησ τεκειν ινα οταν τεκη το τεκνον αυτησ καταφαγη
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.
5 και ετεκεν υιον αρρενα οσ μελλει ποιμαινειν παντα τα εθνη εν ραβδω σιδηρα και ηρπασθη το τεκνον αυτησ προσ τον θεον και προσ τον θρονον αυτου
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,
6 και η γυνη εφυγεν εισ την ερημον οπου εχει εκει τοπον ητοιμασμενον υπο του θεου ινα εκει εκτρεφωσιν αυτην ημερασ χιλιασ διακοσιασ εξηκοντα
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.
7 και εγενετο πολεμοσ εν τω ουρανω ο μιχαηλ και οι αγγελοι αυτου πολεμησαι μετα του δρακοντοσ και ο δρακων επολεμησεν και οι αγγελοι αυτου
Now there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought back.
8 και ουκ ισχυσεν ουδε τοποσ ευρεθη αυτω ετι εν τω ουρανω
But the dragon was not strong enough to win. So there was no longer any place in heaven for him and his angels.
9 και εβληθη ο δρακων ο μεγασ ο οφισ ο αρχαιοσ ο καλουμενοσ διαβολοσ και σατανασ ο πλανων την οικουμενην ολην εβληθη εισ την γην και οι αγγελοι αυτου μετ αυτου εβληθησαν
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.
10 και ηκουσα φωνην μεγαλην εν τω ουρανω λεγουσαν αρτι εγενετο η σωτηρια και η δυναμισ και η βασιλεια του θεου ημων και η εξουσια του χριστου αυτου οτι εβληθη ο κατηγοροσ των αδελφων ημων ο κατηγορων αυτων ενωπιον του θεου ημων ημερασ και νυκτοσ
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.
11 και αυτοι ενικησαν αυτον δια το αιμα του αρνιου και δια τον λογον τησ μαρτυριασ αυτων και ουκ ηγαπησαν την ψυχην αυτων αχρι θανατου
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.
12 δια τουτο ευφραινεσθε ουρανοι και οι εν αυτοισ σκηνουντεσ ουαι τη γη και τη θαλασση οτι κατεβη ο διαβολοσ προσ υμασ εχων θυμον μεγαν ειδωσ οτι ολιγον καιρον εχει
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!
13 και οτε ειδεν ο δρακων οτι εβληθη εισ την γην εδιωξεν την γυναικα ητισ ετεκεν τον αρρενα
When the dragon realized he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.
14 και εδοθησαν τη γυναικι δυο πτερυγεσ του αετου του μεγαλου ινα πετηται εισ την ερημον εισ τον τοπον αυτησ οπωσ τρεφηται εκει καιρον και καιρουσ και ημισυ καιρου απο προσωπου του οφεωσ
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.
15 και εβαλεν ο οφισ εκ του στοματοσ αυτου οπισω τησ γυναικοσ υδωρ ωσ ποταμον ινα αυτην ποταμοφορητον ποιηση
The serpent poured water out of his mouth like a river, that he would make a flood to sweep her away.
16 και εβοηθησεν η γη τη γυναικι και ηνοιξεν η γη το στομα αυτησ και κατεπιεν τον ποταμον ον εβαλεν ο δρακων εκ του στοματοσ αυτου
But the earth helped the woman. The earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river that the dragon was pouring out of his mouth.
17 και ωργισθη ο δρακων επι τη γυναικι και απηλθεν ποιησαι πολεμον μετα των λοιπων του σπερματοσ αυτησ των τηρουντων τασ εντολασ του θεου και εχοντων την μαρτυριαν ιησου
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.
