Zvakazarurwa 12
1 Chiratidzo chikuru uye chinoshamisa chakaonekwa kudenga: mukadzi akanga akapfeka zuva, mwedzi uri pasi petsoka dzake, nekorona ine nyeredzi gumi nembiri pamusoro wake.
And there appeared a great wonder in heauen: A woman clothed with the sunne, and the moone was vnder her feete, and vpon her head a crowne of twelue starres.
2 Akanga ane mimba uye akadanidzira mukurwadziwa sezvo akanga ava kupona.
And she was with childe, and cried traueiling in birth, and was pained readie to be deliuered.
3 Ipapo chimwe chiratidzo chakaonekwa kudenga: shato huru tsvuku ine misoro minomwe nenyanga gumi nekorona nomwe mumisoro yayo.
And there appeared another wonder in heaue: for beholde, a great red dragon hauing seuen heads, and ten hornes, and seuen crownes vpon his heads:
4 Muswe wayo wakatsvaira chikamu chimwe chete muzvitatu chenyeredzi kubva kudenga ukadzikanda pasi. Shato yakamira pamberi pomukadzi akanga ava kuzvara, kuitira kuti iparadze mwana wake kana angozvarwa.
And his taile drew the thirde part of the starres of heauen, and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman, which was ready to be deliuered, to deuoure her childe, when shee had brought it foorth.
5 Akazvara mwanakomana, munhurume, achazotonga ndudzi dzose netsvimbo yesimbi. Uye mwana wake akatorwa akaendeswa kuna Mwari nokuchigaro chake choushe.
So shee brought foorth a man childe, which should rule all nations with a rod of yron: and that her childe was taken vp vnto God and to his throne.
6 Mukadzi akatizira kugwenga kunzvimbo yaakanga agadzirirwa naMwari, kwaaizochengetwa kwamazuva chiuru namazana maviri namakumi matanhatu.
And the woman fled into wildernes where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feede her there a thousande, two hundreth and three score dayes.
7 Uye kudenga kwakava nehondo. Mikaeri navatumwa vake vakarwa neshato, uye shato navatumwa vayo ikadzorerawo.
And there was a battell in heauen, Michael and his Angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon fought and his angels.
8 Asi yakanga isina simba rakakwana, uye nzvimbo yavo yakashayikwa kudenga.
But they preuailed not, neither was their place found any more in heauen.
9 Shato huru yakakandwa pasi, iyo nyoka yekare inonzi dhiabhori, kana kuti Satani, anotsausa nyika yose. Akakandwa panyika pamwe chete navatumwa vake.
And the great dragon, that olde serpent, called the deuil and Satan, was cast out, which deceiueth all the world: he was euen cast into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 Ipapo ndakanzwa inzwi guru kudenga richiti: “Zvino ruponeso nesimba noumambo hwaMwari wedu zvasvika, uye nesimba raKristu wake. Nokuti mupomeri wehama dzedu, iye anovapomera pamberi paMwari wedu masikati nousiku, akandwa panyika.
Then I heard a loude voyce in heauen, saying, Now is saluation, and strength, and the kingdome of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast downe, which accused them before our God day and night.
11 Vakamukunda neropa reGwayana uye neshoko rokupupura kwavo; havana kuda upenyu hwavo zvakanyanya zvokuti vangatya kufa.
But they ouercame him by that blood of that Lambe, and by that worde of their testimonie, and they loued not their liues vnto the death.
12 Naizvozvo farai, imi matenga nemi munogara maari! Asi mune nhamo imi nyika negungwa, nokuti dhiabhori aburuka kwamuri! Akatsamwa kwazvo, nokuti anoziva kuti nguva yake ipfupi.”
Therefore reioyce, ye heauens, and ye that dwell in them. Wo to the inhabitants of the earth, and of the sea: for the deuill is come downe vnto you, which hath great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time.
13 Shato yakati yaona kuti yakanga yakandwa panyika, yakadzinganisa mukadzi akanga azvara mwana mukomana.
And when the dragon sawe that hee was cast vnto the earth, he persecuted the woman which had brought forth the man childe.
14 Mukadzi akapiwa mapapiro maviri egondo guru, kuitira kuti agobhururuka achienda kunzvimbo yaakanga agadzirirwa kugwenga, uko kwaaizochengetwa kwenguva nedzimwe nguva nehafu yenguva, kusingasviki nyoka.
But to the woman were giuen two wings of a great eagle, that she might flie into the wildernes, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and halfe a time, from the presence of the serpent.
15 Ipapo nyoka yakabudisa mvura yakaita sorwizi kubva mumuromo mayo, kuti ikukure mukadzi namafashamu.
And the serpent cast out of his mouth water after the woman, like a flood, that he might cause her to be caried away of the flood.
16 Asi nyika yakabatsira mukadzi nokuzarura muromo wayo ikamedza rwizi rwakanga rwabudiswa neshato mumuromo wayo.
But the earth holpe the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swalowed vp the flood, which the dragon had cast out of his mouth.
17 Ipapo shato yakatsamwira mukadzi ikaenda kundorwa navana vake vakanga vasara, vaya vanoteerera mirayiro yaMwari uye vanobatirira pauchapupu hwaJesu.
Then the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went and made warre with the remnant of her seede, which keepe the comaundements of God, and haue the testimonie of Iesus Christ.
