Откровение ап. Иоанна Богослова 12
1 И знамение велие явися на небеси: жена облечена в солнце, и луна под ногама ея, и на главе ея венец от звезд двоюнадесяте:
And a great sign was seen in the sky: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars,
2 и во чреве имущи, вопиет болящи и страждущи родити.
and having [a child] in [her] womb she cries out, travailing and being in pain to bring forth.
3 И явися ино знамение на небеси: и се, змий велик чермен, имея глав седмь и рогов десять, и на главах его седмь венец:
And there was seen another sign in the sky, and behold, a great fire-colored dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns on his heads,
4 и хобот его отторже третию часть звезд небесных и положи я в землю. И змий стояше пред женою хотящею родити, да, егда родит, снесть чадо ея.
and his tail draws the third of the stars of the sky, and he cast them to the earth; and the dragon stood before the woman who is about to bring forth, that when she may bring forth, he may devour her child;
5 И роди сына мужеска, иже имать упасти вся языки жезлом железным: и восхищено бысть чадо ея к Богу и престолу Его.
and she brought forth a male son, who is about to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, and her child was snatched up to God and to His throne,
6 А жена бежа в пустыню, идеже име место уготовано от Бога, да тамо питается дний тысящу двесте шестьдесят.
and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place made ready from God, that there they may nourish her—one thousand, two hundred, sixty days.
7 И бысть брань на небеси: Михаил и Ангели его брань сотвориша со змием, и змий брася и аггели его,
And there came war in Heaven: Michael and his messengers warred against the dragon, and the dragon and his messengers warred,
8 и не возмогоша, и места не обретеся им ктому на небеси.
and they did not prevail, nor was their place found anymore in Heaven;
9 И вложен бысть змий великий, змий древний, нарицаемый диавол и сатана, льстяй вселенную всю, и вложен бысть на землю, и аггели его с ним низвержени быша.
and the great dragon was cast forth—the old serpent, who is called “Devil,” and “Satan,” who is leading the whole world astray—he was cast forth to the earth, and his messengers were cast forth with him.
10 И слышах глас велий на небеси, глаголющь: ныне бысть спасение и сила и царство Бога нашего и область Христа Его, яко низложен бысть клеветник братии нашея, оклевещая их пред Богом нашим день и нощь.
And I heard a great voice saying in Heaven, “Now came the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom, of our God, and the authority of His Christ, because the accuser of our brothers was cast down, who is accusing them before our God day and night;
11 И тии победиша его кровию Агнчею и словом свидетелства своего, и не возлюбиша душ своих даже до смерти.
and they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life—to death;
12 Сего ради веселитеся, небеса и живущии на них. Горе живущым на земли и мори, яко сниде диавол к вам, имея ярость великую, ведый, яко время мало имать.
because of this be glad, you heavens, and those who dwell in them; woe to those inhabiting the earth and the sea, because the Devil went down to you, having great wrath, having known that he has [a] short time.”
13 И егда виде змий, яко низложен бысть на землю, гоняше жену, яже роди мужеска.
And when the dragon saw that he was cast forth to the earth, he pursued the woman who brought forth the male,
14 И дана быша жене два крила орла великаго, да парит в пустыню в место свое, идеже препитана бяше ту время и времен и пол времене, от лица змиина.
and there were given to the woman two wings of the great eagle, that she may fly into the wilderness, to her place, where she is nourished a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent;
15 И испусти змий за женою из уст своих воду яко реку, да ю в реце потопит.
and the serpent cast forth out of his mouth water as a river after the woman, that he may cause her to be carried away by the river,
16 И поможе земля жене, и отверзе земля уста своя, и пожре реку, юже изведе змий от уст своих.
and the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river that the dragon cast forth out of his mouth;
17 И разгневася змий на жену и иде сотворити брань со оставшим семенем ея, иже соблюдают заповеди Божия и имеют свидетелство Иисус Христово.
and the dragon was angry against the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, those keeping the commands of God, and having the testimony of Jesus.
