Jelenések 12
1 Ezután egy nagy jel látszott az égen: egy napba öltözött asszony, lába alatt volt a hold, és fején tizenkét csillagból korona.
Then something very unusual appeared in the sky. It was a woman, whose [appearance and] clothing were [MET] as bright as the sun. The moon was under her feet. On her head was a crown [that was made] of twelve stars.
2 Terhes volt, és vajúdva és szülési kínokban kiáltott.
She was pregnant. Then, as she was about to give birth, she cried out because she was suffering pain.
3 Más jel is látszott az égen: íme egy nagy vörös sárkány, aminek hét feje volt és tíz szarva, és a fején hét korona.
Something else very unusual appeared in the sky. It was a huge red dragon. It had seven heads and ten horns. On each of its heads was a royal crown.
4 És a farka után vonta az ég csillagainak harmadrészét, és a földre vetette azokat, és a sárkány a szülő asszony elé állt, hogy amikor szül, annak fiát megegye.
The dragon’s tail dragged a third of the stars from the sky and threw them to the earth. The dragon set himself in front of the woman who was about to give birth, in order that he might eat her child as soon as it was born.
5 És fiút szült, aki vasvesszővel legeltet minden nemzetet és elragadtatott annak fia Istenhez és az ő királyi székéhez.
The woman gave birth to a son, who [is destined] to rule all the nations with [complete authority as if he was using] [MET] an iron rod [MET]. [God] snatched away her child and took him to [rule from] his throne.
6 Az asszony pedig elfutott a pusztába, ahol Istentől készített helye volt, hogy ott táplálják ezerkétszázhatvan napig.
The woman fled to a desert. She has a place there that God has prepared for her, in order that [the angels] may take care of her for 1,260 days.
7 Ezután viaskodás támadt az égben: Mihály és az ő angyalai viaskodtak a sárkánnyal és a sárkány is viaskodott angyalaival együtt.
[In the vision I saw that] there was a battle in heaven. Michael and the angels that he [commanded] fought against the dragon. The dragon and his angels fought back [against Michael and his angels].
8 De nem vehettek diadalmat, és helyük sem maradt többé a mennyben.
But the dragon did not win the battle, so [God] did not allow the dragon and his angels to stay in heaven any longer.
9 És levettetett a nagy sárkány, ama régi kígyó, akit ördögnek, és sátánnak neveznek, aki mind az egész földkerekséget elhiteti, levettetett a földre, és vele együtt angyalai is levettettek.
The huge dragon was thrown {[Michael and his angels] threw the huge dragon} out [of heaven]. The dragon is the ancient serpent, [the one] who is called the Devil and Satan. He is the one who deceives [people all over] the earth. He was thrown down to the earth, along with all his angels.
10 És hangos szózatot hallottam az égben, amely ezt mondta: „Most valósult meg az üdvösség és az erő és a mi Istenünk országa és az ő Krisztusának hatalma, mert a mi atyánkfiainak vádolója levettetett, aki vádolta őket éjjel és nappal a mi Istenünk előtt.
Then I heard [someone] in heaven shout loudly, saying, Now our God has saved his people by his power, and he rules everyone! Now the Messiah, the one who is the supreme ruler whom God appointed, has authority to rule all people, because our God has thrown out of heaven the one who accuses our fellow believers! The dragon is the one who accuses them day and night before our God, saying that they have sinned and that God ought to punish them.
11 És ők legyőzték azt a Bárány vérével, és bizonyságtételük beszédével és nem kímélték életüket mindhalálig.
Our fellow believers overcame the dragon because they never stopped trusting (OR, never stopped telling people about) Jesus, and because they trusted in what Jesus, the one who is like a lamb, accomplished when his blood flowed when he died. Even though those believers wanted to live, they were willing to let people kill them for speaking the truth about him.
12 Azért örüljetek, egek, és akik bennük lakoztok! Jaj a föld és tenger lakosainak, mert az ördög leszállott hozzátok telve nagy haraggal, mint aki tudja, hogy kevés ideje van.“
So, all you angels living [MTY] in heaven, rejoice! But terrible things will happen to you ungodly people who [MTY] live on the earth and on the ocean, because the devil has come down to you! He is very angry because he knows that he has only a short time during which he can harm people.
13 Amikor azért látta a sárkány, hogy levettetett a földre, kergetni kezdte az asszonyt, aki a fiút szülte.
When the dragon realized that he had been thrown {that [the angels] had thrown him} down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to a son.
14 De az asszonynak két nagy sasszárny adatott, hogy a kígyó elől elrepüljön a pusztába az ő helyére, hogy ott táplálják ideig, időkig és az idő feléig.
But the woman was given two wings like the wings of a very large eagle, in order that she might fly to a desolate place. That is a place [that God] has prepared for her. There she was taken care of {[God’s angels] took care of her} for three and a half years. The serpent, [that is, the dragon], was not able to reach her there.
15 A kígyó pedig szájából vizet bocsátott ki az asszony után, mint valami folyót, hogy a folyóvíz elragadja.
The serpent spewed water like a river from his mouth in the direction of the woman, in order that the water might sweep her away.
16 De segített a föld az asszonynak, és megnyitotta a föld a száját, és elnyelte a folyóvizet, amelyet a sárkány a szájából bocsátott ki.
But the ground helped the woman [by] opening up and swallowing the river that the dragon spewed out from his mouth!
17 Megharagudott azért a sárkány az asszonyra és elment, hogy hadakozzék a többiek ellen, akik az asszony utódai közül valók, akik megőrzik Isten parancsolatait, és akiknél megvan Jézus Krisztus bizonyságtétele.
Then the dragon was very angry with the woman, so he went away to fight against [the people who are like] the rest of her descendants. They are the people who obey God’s commandments and who tell other people about Jesus (OR, hold fast to what Jesus taught them).
