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 with the sun, and the moon was under her feet, and on her head was a crown of twelve stars.
2 Li te prèt pou l' te akouche: soufrans ak doulè tranche t'ap fè l' rele.
And being with child, she cried out while giving birth, and she was suffering in order to give 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.
And another sign was seen in heaven. And behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads were seven diadems.
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.
And his tail drew down a third part of the stars of heaven and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman, who was about to give birth, so that, when she had brought forth, he might devour her son.
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 brought forth a male child, who was soon to rule all the nations with an iron rod. And her son was taken 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 solitude, where a place was being held ready by God, so that they might pasture her in that place for one thousand two hundred and sixty 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.
And there was a great battle in heaven. Michael and his Angels were battling with the dragon, and the dragon was fighting, and so were his angels.
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 they did not prevail, and a place for them was no longer found in heaven.
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 he was thrown out, that great dragon, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, who seduces the whole world. And he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were cast down 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 great voice in heaven, saying: “Now have arrived salvation and virtue and the kingdom of our God and the power of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers has been cast down, he who accused them before our God day and night.
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.
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of his testimony. And they loved not their own lives, even unto 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.
Because of this, rejoice, O heavens, and all who dwell within it. Woe to the earth and to the sea! For the devil has descended to you, holding great anger, knowing that he has little 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 after the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who brought forth 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.
And the two wings of a great eagle were given to the woman, so that she might fly away, into the desert, to her place, where she is being nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
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.
And the serpent sent out from his mouth, after the woman, water like a river, so that he might cause her to be carried away by the river.
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 assisted the woman. And the earth opened her mouth and absorbed the river, which the dragon sent out from his 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 angry at the woman. And so he went away to do battle with the remainder of her offspring, those who keep the commandments of God and who hold to the testimony of Jesus Christ.
