prakāśitaṁ 12
1 tataḥ paraṁ svargē mahācitraṁ dr̥ṣṭaṁ yōṣidēkāsīt sā parihitasūryyā candraśca tasyāścaraṇayōradhō dvādaśatārāṇāṁ kirīṭañca śirasyāsīt|
And, a great sign, appeared in heaven: a woman arrayed with the sun, and, the moon, beneath her feet, and, upon her head, a crown of twelve stars;
2 sā garbhavatī satī prasavavēdanayā vyathitārttarāvam akarōt|
and she was with child, and crieth out, being in pangs and in anguish to bring forth?
3 tataḥ svargē 'param ēkaṁ citraṁ dr̥ṣṭaṁ mahānāga ēka upātiṣṭhat sa lōhitavarṇastasya sapta śirāṁsi sapta śr̥ṅgāṇi śiraḥsu ca sapta kirīṭānyāsan|
And there appeared another sign in heaven; and lo! a great red dragon, —having seven heads and ten horns, and, upon his heads, seven diadems;
4 sa svalāṅgūlēna gaganasthanakṣatrāṇāṁ tr̥tīyāṁśam avamr̥jya pr̥thivyāṁ nyapātayat| sa ēva nāgō navajātaṁ santānaṁ grasitum udyatastasyāḥ prasaviṣyamāṇāyā yōṣitō 'ntikē 'tiṣṭhat|
and, his tail, draweth the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth. And, the dragon, stood before the woman who was about to bring forth, that, as soon as she should bring forth, he might devour, her child.
5 sā tu puṁsantānaṁ prasūtā sa ēva lauhamayarājadaṇḍēna sarvvajātīścārayiṣyati, kiñca tasyāḥ santāna īśvarasya samīpaṁ tadīyasiṁhāsanasya ca sannidhim uddhr̥taḥ|
And she brought forth a son, a manchild, who was about to shepherd all the nations with a sceptre of iron; and her child was caught away unto God and unto his throne.
6 sā ca yōṣit prāntaraṁ palāyitā yatastatrēśvarēṇa nirmmita āśramē ṣaṣṭhyadhikaśatadvayādhikasahasradināni tasyāḥ pālanēna bhavitavyaṁ|
And, the woman, fled into the desert, where she hath a place prepared of God, that, there, they should nourish her a thousand, two hundred, and sixty days.
7 tataḥ paraṁ svargē saṁgrāma upāpiṣṭhat mīkhāyēlastasya dūtāśca tēna nāgēna sahāyudhyan tathā sa nāgastasya dūtāśca saṁgrāmam akurvvan, kintu prabhavituṁ nāśaknuvan
And there came to be war in heaven: Michael and his messengers [going forth] to war with the dragon; and, the dragon, fought, and his messengers;
8 yataḥ svargē tēṣāṁ sthānaṁ puna rnāvidyata|
and he prevailed not, neither was place found for them, any longer, in heaven.
9 aparaṁ sa mahānāgō 'rthatō diyāvalaḥ (apavādakaḥ) śayatānaśca (vipakṣaḥ) iti nāmnā vikhyātō yaḥ purātanaḥ sarpaḥ kr̥tsnaṁ naralōkaṁ bhrāmayati sa pr̥thivyāṁ nipātitastēna sārddhaṁ tasya dūtā api tatra nipātitāḥ|
And the great dragon was cast out, —the ancient serpent, he that is called Adversary and the Satan, that deceiveth the whole habitable world, —he was cast to the earth, and his messengers, with him, were cast.
10 tataḥ paraṁ svargē uccai rbhāṣamāṇō ravō 'yaṁ mayāśrāvi, trāṇaṁ śaktiśca rājatvamadhunaivēśvarasya naḥ| tathā tēnābhiṣiktasya trātuḥ parākramō 'bhavatṁ|| yatō nipātitō 'smākaṁ bhrātr̥ṇāṁ sō 'bhiyōjakaḥ| yēnēśvarasya naḥ sākṣāt tē 'dūṣyanta divāniśaṁ||
And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying—Now, hath come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ; because the accuser of our brethren hath been cast out, who was accusing them before our God day and night;
11 mēṣavatsasya raktēna svasākṣyavacanēna ca| tē tu nirjitavantastaṁ na ca snēham akurvvata| prāṇōṣvapi svakīyēṣu maraṇasyaiva saṅkaṭē|
And, they, overcame him by reason of the blood of the Lamb, and by reason of their witnessing word, and they loved not their life, even unto death.
12 tasmād ānandatu svargō hr̥ṣyantāṁ tannivāminaḥ| hā bhūmisāgarau tāpō yuvāmēvākramiṣyati| yuvayōravatīrṇō yat śaitānō 'tīva kāpanaḥ| alpō mē samayō 'styētaccāpi tēnāvagamyatē||
For this cause, be joyful, O heavens, and ye who, therein, are tabernacling. Woe! unto the earth, and the sea, because the Adversary hath come down unto you, having great wrath—knowing that, but a little season, he hath.
13 anantaraṁ sa nāgaḥ pr̥thivyāṁ svaṁ nikṣiptaṁ vilōkya tāṁ putraprasūtāṁ yōṣitam upādravat|
And, when the dragon saw that he was cast to the earth, he pursued the woman who had brought forth the manchild.
14 tataḥ sā yōṣit yat svakīyaṁ prāntarasthāśramaṁ pratyutpatituṁ śaknuyāt tadarthaṁ mahākurarasya pakṣadvayaṁ tasvai dattaṁ, sā tu tatra nāgatō dūrē kālaikaṁ kāladvayaṁ kālārddhañca yāvat pālyatē|
And there were given unto the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the desert, into her place, —where she is nourished, a season and seasons and half a season, from the face of the serpent.
15 kiñca sa nāgastāṁ yōṣitaṁ srōtasā plāvayituṁ svamukhāt nadīvat tōyāni tasyāḥ paścāt prākṣipat|
And the serpent cast out of his mouth, after the woman, water as a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream.
16 kintu mēdinī yōṣitam upakurvvatī nijavadanaṁ vyādāya nāgamukhād udgīrṇāṁ nadīm apivat|
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 tatō nāgō yōṣitē kruddhvā tadvaṁśasyāvaśiṣṭalōkairarthatō ya īśvarasyājñāḥ pālayanti yīśōḥ sākṣyaṁ dhārayanti ca taiḥ saha yōddhuṁ nirgatavān|
And the dragon was angered against the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed—with them who were keeping the commandments of God, and holding the witness of Jesus; —and he stood upon the sand of the sea.
