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 was seen in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head 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 crieth out, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
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 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 dragged the third part of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth. And the dragon standeth before the woman who was about to bring forth, that when she hath brought forth he may devour her child.
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 man-child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron; 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 she hath a place prepared by God, that they should nourish her there a 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 war in heaven; Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and 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.
and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more 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 the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, called the Devil and Satan, who deceiveth the whole world; he was cast 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 loud voice in heaven, saying, Now is come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ; for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, 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 conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives, even to 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, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the earth and the sea! for the Devil is come down to you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but 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 was cast down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who brought forth the man-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 to the woman were given the two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is 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 cast out of his mouth water as a river, after the woman, 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.
And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the river which the dragon cast out of 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 enraged at the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God, and maintain the testimony to Jesus.
