Razodetje 12
1 In na nebu se je prikazalo veliko znamenje; ženska, oblečena s soncem in luna pod njenimi stopali in krona dvanajsterih zvezd na njeni glavi.
A great sign was seen in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
2 In ona, ki je bila z otrokom, je vpila v porodnih mukah in bolečinah, da bi rodila.
She was with child. She cried out in pain, laboring to give birth.
3 In na nebu se je prikazalo drugo znamenje in glej, velik rdeč zmaj, ki je imel sedem glav in deset rogov ter na njegovih glavah sedem kron.
Another sign was seen in heaven. Behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven crowns.
4 In njegov rep je potegnil z neba tretjino zvezd ter jih vrgel na zemljo in zmaj je stal pred žensko, ki je bila pripravljena, da rodi, da bi požrl njenega otroka takoj, ko bi se rodil.
His tail drew one third of the stars of the sky, and threw them to the earth. The dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her child.
5 In rodila je fantka, ki je bil [namenjen], da vsem narodom vlada z železno palico in njen otrok je bil vzet k Bogu in k njegovemu prestolu.
She gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron. Her child was caught up to God and to his throne.
6 In ženska je pobegnila v divjino, kjer je imela prostor, pripravljen od Boga, da naj bi jo tam hranili tisoč dvesto in šestdeset dni.
The woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that there they may nourish her one thousand two hundred sixty days.
7 In bila je vojna v nebesih. Mihael in njegovi angeli so se bojevali proti zmaju in zmaj se je bojeval ter njegovi angeli,
There was war in the sky. Michael and his angels made war on the dragon. The dragon and his angels made war.
8 pa niso prevladali niti se na nebu zanje ni več našel prostor.
They didn’t prevail. No place was found for them any more in heaven.
9 In véliki zmaj je bil vržen ven, ta stara kača, imenovana hudič in Satan, ki zavaja ves svet. Izgnan je bil na zemljo in njegovi angeli so bili izgnani z njim.
The great dragon was thrown down, the old serpent, he who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
10 In na nebu sem zaslišal močan glas, rekoč: »Sedaj je prišla rešitev duš in moč in kraljestvo našega Boga in oblast njegovega Kristusa, kajti vržen je dol obtoževalec naših bratov, ki jih je dan in noč obtoževal pred našim Bogom.«
I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation, the power, and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ has come; for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them before our God day and night.
11 In oni so ga premagali s krvjo Jagnjeta in z besedo svojega pričevanja in svojih življenj niso ljubili do smrti.
They overcame him because of the Lamb’s blood, and because of the word of their testimony. They didn’t love their life, even to death.
12 Zato se veselite, ve nebesa in vi, ki prebivate v njih. Gorje prebivalcem zemlje in morja! Kajti hudič je prišel dol k vam, zelo ogorčen, ker ve, da ima le malo časa.
Therefore rejoice, heavens, and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and to the sea, because the devil has gone down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has but a short time.”
13 In ko je zmaj videl, da je bil vržen na zemljo, je preganjal žensko, ki je rodila moško dete.
When the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child.
14 In ženski sta bili dani dve peruti velikega orla, da bi lahko odletela v divjino, na njen kraj, kjer je bila hranjena čas in čase in polovico časa, proč od obraza kače.
Two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, so that she might be nourished for a time, times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
15 In kača je iz svojih ust vrgla za žensko vodo kot poplavo, da bi lahko povzročila, da jo poplava odnese.
The serpent spewed water out of his mouth after the woman like a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream.
16 In zemlja je pomagala ženski in zemlja je odprla svoja usta ter požrla poplavo, ki jo je zmaj vrgel iz svojih ust.
The earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon spewed out of his mouth.
17 In zmaj je bil ogorčen proti ženski in odšel, da povzroči vojno proti preostanku njenega potomstva, ki se drži Božjih zapovedi in ima pričevanje Jezusa Kristusa.
The dragon grew angry with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep God’s commandments and hold Jesus’ testimony.
