Zvakazarurwa 12
1 Zvino kwakaonekwa chiratidzo chikuru kudenga, mukadzi akapfeka zuva, nemwedzi uri pasi petsoka dzake, nepamusoro wake korona yenyeredzi gumi nembiri;
And a great sign was seen in heaven; a woman arrayed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars;
2 uye wakange ane pamuviri, akadanidzira achirwadziwa nemimba, uye achitambudzwa kupona.
and she was with child: and she crieth out, travailing in birth, and in pain to be delivered.
3 Zvino kwakaonekwa chimwe chiratidzo kudenga, tarirawo, zibukanana ziguru zidzvuku, rine misoro minomwe nenyanga gumi, nepamisoro yaro korona nomwe.
And there was seen another sign in heaven; and behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven diadems.
4 Zvino muswe waro wakakweva chetatu chenyeredzi dzekudenga, ndokudzikandira panyika; zibukanana ndokumira pamberi pemukadzi wakange oda kupona, kuti kana apona, agoparadza mwana wake.
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 which was about to be delivered, that when she was delivered he might devour her child.
5 Zvino wakapona mwana mukomana, wakange oda kufudza marudzi ese netsvimbo yedare; mwana wake ndokubvutirwa kuna Mwari nekuchigaro chake cheushe.
And she was delivered of a son, a man child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and unto his throne.
6 Zvino mukadzi akatizira kurenje, kwaakange ane nzvimbo yakagadzirwa kubva kuna Mwari, kuti vamuriritira ipapo mazuva churu nemazana maviri nemakumi matanhatu.
And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that there they may nourish her a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
7 Zvino kukava nehondo kudenga; Mikaeri nevatumwa vake vakarwa nezibukanana, zibukanana ndokurwa rine vatumwa varo;
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels [going forth] to war with the dragon; and the dragon warred and his angels;
8 asi havana kukunda, uye nzvimbo yaro haina kuzowanikwa zvekare kudenga.
And they prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 Zvino zibukanana ziguru rakakandwa, nyoka yekare, inonzi Dhiabhorosi uye Satani, anonyengera nyika yese; wakakandirwa panyika, nevatumwa vake vakakandwa pamwe naye.
And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, he that is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him.
10 Zvino ndakanzwa inzwi guru richiti kudenga: Ikozvino ruponeso rwasvika, nesimba, neushe hwaMwari wedu, neumambo hwaKristu wake; nokuti mupomeri wehama dzedu wakandirwa pasi, anovapomera pamberi paMwari wedu masikati neusiku.
And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accuseth them before our God day and night.
11 Zvino ivo vakamukunda neropa reGwayana, uye neshoko reuchapupu hwavo, uye havana kuda upenyu hwavo kusvikira parufu.
And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony; and they loved not their life even unto death.
12 Naizvozvi farai, matenga nemwi munogara maari. Mune nhamo vagari venyika negungwa, nokuti dhiabhorosi wakaburukira kwamuri ane kutsamwa kukuru, nokuti anoziva kuti ane nguva diki.
Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe for the earth and for the sea: because the devil is gone down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time.
13 Zvino zibukanana rakati raona kuti rakandirwa panyika, rakashusha mukadzi wakapona murume.
And when the dragon saw that he was cast down to the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man [child].
14 Zvino kumukadzi kwakapiwa mapapiro maviri egondo guru, kuti abhururukire kurenje kunzvimbo yake, kwaanonoriritirwa kwenguva nedzimwe nguva nehafu yenguva, abve pauso hwenyoka.
And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness unto her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
15 Zvino nyoka yakabudisa mvura mumuromo mayo yakaita serwizi shure kwemukadzi kuti imukonzerese kukukurwa nerwizi.
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 Zvino nyika yakabatsira mukadzi, nyika ndokushamisa muromo wayo, ikamedza rwizi zibukanana rwarakabudisa mumuromo maro.
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 Zvino zibukanana rakatsamwira mukadzi, rikaenda kunoita hondo nevakasara vembeu yake, vanochengeta mirairo yaMwari, vane uchapupu hwaJesu Kristu.
And the dragon waxed wroth with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and hold the testimony of Jesus:
