< Hoikeana 12 >

1 U A ikeia aku la kekahi mea kupanaha loa ma ka lani; he wahine i hoaahuia i ka la, a aia hoi ka mahina malalo o kona wawae, a o na hoku umikumamalua, oia kona leialii.
And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
2 Ua hapai oia, a uwe nui aku la ia, i ke nahu keiki, a me ka eha e hanau ai.
And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
3 A ike hou ia aku la ma ka lani kekahi mea kupanaha hou; aia hoi he deragona nui ulaula, ehika ona poo, a he umi pepeiaohao, a ma kona mau poo, ehiku leialii.
And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
4 Huki mai la kona huelo i ka hapakolu o na hoku o ka lani, a kiola iho la ia lakou ilalo i ka honua. Ku mai la ua deragona nei, imua o ka wahine e hanau ana, e ai aku i kana keiki i kona wa e hanau ai.
And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
5 Hanau mai ia oia, he keikikane, he mea e hoomalu i na lahuikanaka a pau me ke kookoo hao. Ua kailiia'ku la kana keiki iluna i ke Akua a ma kona nohoalii.
And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and [to] his throne.
6 Holo aku la ua wahine la i ka waonahele ma kahi a ke Akua i hoomakaukau ai nona, i hanai lakou ia ia malaila i na la hookahi tausani elua haneri me kanaono.
And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days.
7 A he kaua no ma ka lani: kaua mai o Mikaela a me kona poe anela i ka deragona; a kaua aku ka deragona a me kona poe anela;
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 Aole hoi ia i lanakila aku, aole hoi i loaa ia ia kahi e noho hou ai ma ka lani.
And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 Kipakuia'ku la ua deragona nui nei, oia hoi ka mookahiko i kapaia o ka diabolo, a o Satana, nana no i hoowalewale mai i ko ke ao nei a pau. Kiolaia mai la oia i ka honua, a kiola pu ia mai la kona poe anela.
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 A lohe aku la au i ka leo nui ma ka lani, i ae la, Ua hiki mai la ke ola, a me ka mana, a me ke aupuni o ko kakou Akua, a me ka mana o kona Kristo; no ka mea, na kipakuia'ku la ka mea hoino i ko kakou poe hoahanau, ka mea nana lakou i hoino i ka po a me ke ao, imua o ke Akua.
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
11 Ma ke koko o ke Keikihipa lakou i lanakila ai maluna ona, a ma ka olelo a lakou i hoike aku ai; a makemake ole lakou i ko lakou ola iho a hiki i ka make.
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
12 Nolaila, e olioli oukou, e na lani, a me ka poe e noho la malaila. Auwe hoi i ka poe e noho la ma ka honua a ma ka moana! no ka mea, ua iho mai o ka diabolo ia oukou me ka inaina nui, no ka mea, ua ike oia, he pokole kona wa.
Therefore rejoice, [ye] heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
13 A ike ae la ka deragona, ua kipakuia oia ilalo i ka honua, alaila, hoomaau ae la ia i ka wahine i hanau i ke keiki kane.
And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man [child].
14 Haawiia mai la i ka wahine elua eheu o ka aeto nui, i lele aku ai oia i ka waonahele, i kona wahi, ua hanaiia oia malaila i ka makahiki, a me na makahiki, a me ka hapa o ka makahiki, mai ke alo aku o ua moo la.
And to the woman were given 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 Luai aku la ua moo nei i ka wai mawaho o kona waha, a kahe aku la mahope o ka wahine e like me ka muliwai, i lawe aku ai oia ia ia ma ka wai.
And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
16 Kokua aku la ka honua, mamuli o ka wahine; a hamama aku la i kona waha, a moni iho la i ka muliwai a ka deragona i luai aku ai ma kona waha aku.
And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
17 Inaina aku la ka deragona i ka wahine, a hele aku la ia e kaua me ka poe i koe o kana poe keiki, o ka poe i malama i ke kanawai o ke Akua, a hoomau i ka hoike ana ia Iesu.
And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
