Apocalipsis 12
1 Se vio una gran señal en el cielo: una mujer vestida de sol, con la luna bajo sus pies, y en su cabeza una corona de doce estrellas.
And a great wonder was seen in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a coronet of twelve stars.
2 Estaba encinta. Gritaba de dolor, dando a luz.
And, being with child, she cried, and travailed, and had the pangs of bringing forth.
3 Otra señal fue vista en el cielo. He aquí un gran dragón rojo, que tenía siete cabezas y diez cuernos, y en sus cabezas siete coronas.
And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and lo, a great fiery dragon, which had seven heads and ten horns, and upon his head seven diadems.
4 Su cola arrastraba la tercera parte de las estrellas del cielo y las arrojaba a la tierra. El dragón se puso delante de la mujer que iba a dar a luz, para que cuando diera a luz devorara a su hijo.
And his tail drew along the third part of the stars of heaven, and cast them on the earth. And the dragon was standing before the woman, who was about to bring forth, so that, when she should bring forth, he might devour her child.
5 Ella dio a luz un hijo varón, que gobernará todas las naciones con vara de hierro. Su hijo fue arrebatado a Dios y a su trono.
And she brought forth a male child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her child was caught up to God and to his throne.
6 La mujer huyó al desierto, donde tiene un lugar preparado por Dios, para que allí la alimenten durante mil doscientos sesenta días.
And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she had a place which was prepared for her by God; so that they might nourish her there a thousand and two hundred and sixty days.
7 Hubo guerra en el cielo. Miguel y sus ángeles le hicieron la guerra al dragón. El dragón y sus ángeles hicieron la guerra.
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought,
8 No prevalecieron. Ya no se encontró lugar para ellos en el cielo.
and prevailed not; nor was their place found any more in heaven.
9 Fue arrojado el gran dragón, la serpiente antigua, el que se llama diablo y Satanás, el engañador del mundo entero. Fue arrojado a la tierra, y sus ángeles fueron arrojados con él.
And the great dragon was cast out, the old serpent, who is called the Deceiver, and Satan, who seduceth all the inhabited world: he was cast upon the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 Oí una gran voz en el cielo, que decía: “Ahora ha llegado la salvación, el poder y el Reino de nuestro Dios, y la autoridad de su Cristo; porque ha sido arrojado el acusador de nuestros hermanos, que los acusaba ante nuestro Dios día y noche.
And I heard a great voice in heaven, which said: Now is there deliverance, and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the dominion of his Messiah: because the Accuser of our brethren is cast out, who accused them day and night before our God.
11 Lo vencieron por la sangre del Cordero y por la palabra de su testimonio. No amaron su vida, ni siquiera hasta la muerte.
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 to death.
12 Por tanto, alégrense, cielos, y ustedes que habitan en ellos. Ay de la tierra y del mar, porque el diablo ha bajado a vosotros, con gran ira, sabiendo que tiene poco tiempo.”
Therefore, be joyful, O heaven, and ye that dwell there. Woe to the earth, and to the sea; for the Deceiver hath come down to you, being in great wrath since he knoweth that his time is short.
13 Cuando el dragón se vio arrojado a la tierra, persiguió a la mujer que había dado a luz al hijo varón.
And when the dragon saw that he was cast out upon the earth, he persecuted the woman who brought forth the male child.
14 Se le dieron a la mujer dos alas de águila grande, para que volara al desierto a su lugar, a fin de que se alimentara por un tiempo, tiempos y medio tiempo, de la cara de la serpiente.
And to the woman were given the two wings of the great eagle, that she might 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 La serpiente vomitó agua de su boca tras la mujer como un río, para hacer que fuera arrastrada por la corriente.
And the serpent ejected from his mouth waters like a river, after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood.
16 La tierra ayudó a la mujer, y la tierra abrió su boca y se tragó el río que el dragón vomitó de su boca.
And the earth helped the woman: and the earth opened its mouth, and drank up the flood which the serpent ejected from his mouth.
17 El dragón se enfureció contra la mujer y se fue a hacer la guerra contra el resto de su descendencia, que guarda los mandamientos de Dios y mantiene el testimonio de Jesús.
And the dragon was enraged against the woman; and he went to make war upon the residue of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus. [ (Revelation of John 12:18) And he stood on the sand of the sea. ]
