Apocalypsis 12
1 Et signum magnum apparuit in caelo: Mulier amicta sole, et luna sub pedibus eius, et in capite eius corona stellarum duodecim:
AND there appeared a great sign in the heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
2 et in utero habens, clamabat parturiens, et cruciabatur ut pariat.
and being with child, she cried out in travailing pain, and in anguish to be delivered.
3 Et visum est aliud signum in caelo: et ecce draco magnus rufus habens capita septem, et cornua decem: et in capitibus eius diademata septem,
And there appeared another sign in the heaven; and lo! a great fiery dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven crowns.
4 et cauda eius trahebat tertiam partem stellarum caeli, et misit eas in terram, et draco stetit ante mulierem, quae erat paritura: ut cum peperisset, filium eius devoraret.
And his tail drew a third part of the stars of heaven, and cast them on the earth: and the dragon placed himself before the woman who was ready to be delivered, that when she should bring forth, he might devour her babe.
5 Et peperit filium masculum, qui recturus erat omnes Gentes in virga ferrea: et raptus est filius eius ad Deum, et ad thronum eius,
And she brought forth a male child, who should rule the nations with an iron sceptre: and her infant was caught up to God, and his throne.
6 et mulier fugit in solitudinem ubi habebat locum paratum a Deo, ut ibi pascant eam diebus mille ducentis sexaginta.
And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that she might there be fed during a thousand two hundred and sixty days.
7 Et factum est proelium magnum in caelo: Michael et angeli eius proeliabantur cum dracone, et draco pugnabat, et angeli eius:
Then was there war in the heaven: Michael and his angels warred against the dragon; and the dragon warred and his angels,
8 et non valuerunt, neque locus inventus est eorum amplius in caelo.
and they could not prevail; neither was there any more place found for them in the heaven.
9 Et proiectus est draco ille magnus, serpens antiquus, qui vocatur diabolus, et satanas, qui seducit universum orbem: et proiectus est in terram, et angeli eius cum illo missi sunt.
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, who is called the Devil, and Satan, who deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 Et audivi vocem magnam in caelo dicentem: Nunc facta est salus, et virtus, et regnum Dei nostri, et potestas Christi eius: quia proiectus est accusator fratrum nostrorum, qui accusabat illos ante conspectum Dei nostri die ac nocte.
And I heard a great voice saying in the heaven, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ; because the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accused them before our God day and night.
11 Et ipsi vicerunt eum propter sanguinem Agni, et propter verbum testimonii sui, et non dilexerunt animas suas usque ad mortem.
And they have vanquished him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto death.
12 propterea laetamini caeli, et qui habitatis in eis. Vae terrae, et mari, quia descendit diabolus ad vos, habens iram magnam, sciens quod modicum tempus habet.
Therefore be exceeding glad ye heavens, and ye who dwell in them. Wo to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time.
13 Et postquam vidit draco quod proiectus esset in terram, persecutus est mulierem, quae peperit masculum:
And when the dragon saw that he was cast out into the earth, he persecuted the woman which had brought forth the male child.
14 et datae sunt mulieri alae duae aquilae magnae ut volaret in desertum in locum suum, ubi alitur per tempus et tempora, et dimidium temporis a facie serpentis.
And there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle, that she should fly into the wilderness, unto her place, where she is supported there for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
15 Et misit serpens ex ore suo post mulierem, aquam tamquam flumen, ut eam faceret trahi a flumine.
And the serpent cast out after the woman, from his mouth water, as a river, that he might sweep her away with the flood.
16 Et adiuvit terra mulierem, et aperuit terra os suum, et absorbuit flumen, quod misit draco de ore suo.
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 Et iratus est draco in mulierem: et abiit facere proelium cum reliquis de semine eius, qui custodiunt mandata Dei, et habent testimonium Iesu Christi.
And the dragon was incensed against the woman, and went forth to make war against the remnant of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and hold the testimony of Jesus Christ.
