Revelasyon 12
1 Yon gwo siy parèt nan sièl la: se te yon fanm ki te vlope nan solèy la tankou nan yon rad. Lalin lan te anba pie li. Li te gen douz zetwal kouwonnen tèt li.
And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed in the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head.
2 Li te prèt pou l' te akouche: soufrans ak doulè tranche t'ap fè l' rele.
She was pregnant and crying out in the pain and agony of giving birth.
3 Yon lòt siy te parèt nan sièl la tou: se te yon gwo dragon wouj. Li te gen sèt tèt ak dis kòn, ak yon kouwòn sou chak tèt li yo.
Then another sign appeared in heaven: a huge red dragon with seven heads, ten horns, and seven royal crowns on his heads.
4 Sou chak twa zetwal ki nan sièl la, li pran yonn li rache l' ak ke l', li voye l' jete sou latè. Li te kanpe la devan fanm ki tapral akouche a, pou l' te ka devore ti pitit la kou l' fèt.
His tail swept a third of the stars from the sky, tossing them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, ready to devour her child as soon as she gave birth.
5 Fanm lan fè yon ti pitit gason ki gen pou gouvènen tout nasyon yo ak yon baton fè. Men, yo pran ti pitit la, yo mennen l' bò kot Bondye, bò kot fòtèy la.
And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who will rule all the nations with an iron scepter. And her child was caught up to God and to His throne.
6 Fanm lan menm kouri ale nan dezè a, kote Bondye te pare yon plas pou yo te ba l' manje pandan mildesanswasant (1.260) jou.
And the woman fled into the wilderness, where God had prepared a place for her to be nourished for 1,260 days.
7 Lè sa a, yon sèl batay pete nan sièl la: Michèl ak zanj li yo pran goumen ak dragon an. Dragon an menm te gen zanj pa l' yo avè l' pou goumen ak Michèl.
Then a war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back.
8 Men, dragon an pèdi batay la, yo pa ba l' dwa rete nan sièl la ankò, ni li menm, ni zanj li yo.
But the dragon was not strong enough, and no longer was any place found in heaven for him and his angels.
9 Yo jete gwo dragon an deyò. Se li menm, sèpan ki la depi lontan an, li menm yo rele diab la osinon Satan, k'ap plede twonpe tout moun. Yo voye l' jete sou latè ansanm ak tout zanj li yo.
And the great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.
10 Apre sa, mwen tande yon gwo vwa nan sièl la ki t'ap di: Koulye a, Bondye pral vin delivre nou. Koulye a Bondye fè wè li gen pouvwa, se li ki sèl Mèt! Koulye a, Kris li a fè wè otorite li. Paske, moun ki t'ap plede akize frè nou yo, moun ki te kanpe la devan Bondye, lajounen kou lannwit, ap pote plent pou yo a, yo mete l' deyò nan sièl la.
And I heard a loud voice in heaven saying: “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— he who accuses them day and night before our God.
11 Frè nou yo goumen ak li jouk yo gen batay la, gremesi san ti Mouton an ki te koule ak verite yo t'ap pibliye a: yo pa t' renmen lavi yo jouk pou yo ta pè lanmò.
They have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony. And they did not love their lives so as to shy away from death.
12 Se poutèt sa, fè kè n' kontan, nou menm sièl ak tout moun ki rete nan sièl la. Men, malè pou latè ak lanmè, paske Satan desann sou nou. Li move anpil, paske li konnen pa rete l' anpil tan ankò.
Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea; with great fury the devil has come down to you, knowing he has only a short time.”
13 Lè dragon an wè se tout bon yo te jete l' sou latè, li pran kouri dèyè fanm ki te fè pitit gason an.
And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.
14 Men, yo bay fanm lan de gwo zèl malfini pou l' te ka vole ale nan plas li nan dezè a, byen lwen sèpan an. Se la yo ba l' manje pandan twazan sis mwa.
But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle to fly from the presence of the serpent to her place in the wilderness, where she was nourished for a time, and times, and half a time.
15 Lè sa a, sèpan an louvri bouch li, li konmanse vonmi dlo. Dlo a fè yon gwo larivyè ki kouri dèyè fanm lan pou pote l' ale.
Then from the mouth of the serpent spewed water like a river to overtake the woman and sweep her away in the torrent.
16 Men, latè vin bay fanm lan konkou, li louvri bouch li, li vale tout dlo ki t'ap soti nan bouch dragon an.
But the earth helped the woman and opened its mouth to swallow up the river that had poured from the dragon’s mouth.
17 (17-18) Se pa ti move dragon an te move sou fanm lan. li al goumen avèk lòt pitit fanm lan, sa vle di ak tout moun k'ap obeyi kòmandman Bondye yo, k'ap kenbe fèm nan verite Jezi te fè nou konnen an. Apre sa, dragon an kanpe bò lanmè a.
And the dragon was enraged at the woman, and went to make war with the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. And the dragon stood on the shore of the sea.
