< 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 the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
2 και εν γαστρι εχουσα εκραζεν ωδινουσα και βασανιζομενη τεκειν
She was with child. She cried out in pain, laboring to give birth.
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
Another sign was seen in heaven. Behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven crowns.
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 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.
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 is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron. Her child was caught up 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
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.
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
There was war in the sky. Michael and his angels made war on the dragon. The dragon and his angels made war.
8 και ουκ ισχυσεν ουδε τοποσ ευρεθη αυτω ετι εν τω ουρανω
They didn’t prevail. No place was found for them any more in heaven.
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 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.
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
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.
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 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.
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, 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.”
13 και οτε ειδεν ο δρακων οτι εβληθη εισ την γην εδιωξεν την γυναικα ητισ ετεκεν τον αρρενα
When the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave 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
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.
15 και εβαλεν ο οφισ εκ του στοματοσ αυτου οπισω τησ γυναικοσ υδωρ ωσ ποταμον ινα αυτην ποταμοφορητον ποιηση
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.
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
The earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon spewed 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
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.
