Revelasyon 12
1 Yon gwo sign te vin parèt nan syèl la: yon fanm abiye avèk solèy la, ak lalin nan anba pye li, e sou tèt li, yon kouwòn douz etwal.
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 gwo ansent e te kriye fò ak tranche ak doulè pou l akouche.
and being with child she crieth out, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
3 Answit, yon lòt sign te parèt nan syèl la. Gade byen, yon gwo dragon wouj avèk sèt tèt ak dis kòn, e sou tèt li yo te gen sèt kouwòn.
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 Konsa, ke li te baleye nèt yon tyè nan zetwal nan syèl yo e te jete yo sou latè. Dragon an te kanpe devan fanm ki te prèt pou akouche a, pou lè li fè pitit la, li ta kab devore pitit li a.
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 Konsa, li te fè yon fis, yon pitit mal, ki gen pou gouvène tout nasyon yo avèk yon baton fè. Pitit li a te rale monte kote Bondye, e anvè twòn Li an.
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 Answit fanm nan te sove ale nan dezè a kote li te gen yon plas prepare pa Bondye, pouke la, li ta kapab nouri pandan mil-de-san-swasann 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 Epi te gen lagè nan syèl la. Michel avèk zanj li yo t ap fè lagè avèk dragon an. Dragon an avèk zanj pa li yo t ap fè lagè.
And there was war in heaven; Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 Men yo pa t reyisi genyen. Konsa, yo pa t jwenn plas ankò nan syèl la.
and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 Gran dragon an te jete anba; sèpan ansyen an ki rele dyab la ak Satan, ki twonpe tout mond lan. Li te jete anba sou latè, e zanj li yo te jete anba avèk li.
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 Answit mwen te tande yon gwo vwa nan syèl la ki t ap di: “Koulye a delivrans lan, pwisans lan, wayòm Bondye nou an, ak otorite Kris Li a te vini an. Paske akizatè a frè nou yo jete anba; Sila ki te konn akize yo devan Bondye nou an lajounen kon lannwit lan.
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 Yo te venk li akoz san Jèn Mouton an e akoz pawòl temwayaj yo. Konsa, yo pa t renmen lavi yo, menm fas a 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 “Pou rezon sa a, rejwi nou o syèl, ak nou menm ki demere ladann yo. Malè a tè a ak lanmè a paske dyab la gen tan desann sou nou avèk gwo kòlè, akoz li konnen tan li an vrèman kout.”
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 Alò, lè dragon an te wè ke li te jete anba sou latè, li te pèsekite fanm ki te bay nesans a pitit mal la.
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 de zèl a gwo èg la te bay a fanm nan pou li ta kapab vole rive nan dezè a nan pwòp plas li, kote li te nouri pandan yon ti tan, tan ak mwatye tan, lib de prezans sèpan an.
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 Konsa, sèpan an te vide yon dlo sòti nan bouch li tankou yon rivyè dèyè fanm nan, pou li ta kapab baleye l avèk lavalas dlo.
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 tè a te ede fanm nan. Tè a te louvri bouch li e te bwè tout larivyè dlo ke dragon an te vide soti nan bouch li a.
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 Donk, dragon a te vin anraje avèk fanm nan. Konsa, li te ale pou fè lagè avèk rès pitit li yo ki kenbe kòmandman Bondye yo, e ki kenbe temwayaj a Jésus 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.
