Pahayag 12
1 At ang isang dakilang tanda ay nakita sa langit: isang babae na nararamtan ng araw, at ang buwan ay nasa ilalim ng kaniyang mga paa, at sa kaniyang ulo ay may isang putong na labingdalawang bituin;
Then a great portent was seen in the heavens – a woman whose robe was the sun, and who had the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
2 At siya'y nagdadalang tao; at siya'y sumisigaw, na nagdaramdam sa panganganak, at sa hirap upang manganak.
She was pregnant; and she is crying out in the pain and agony of childbirth.
3 At ang ibang tanda ay nakita sa langit: at narito, ang isang malaking dragong mapula, na may pitong ulo at sangpung sungay, at sa kaniyang mga ulo'y may pitong diadema.
Another portent also was seen in the heavens There was a great red Dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads were seven diadems.
4 At kinaladkad ng kaniyang buntot ang ikatlong bahagi ng mga bituin sa langit, at ipinaghagis sa lupa: at lumagay ang dragon sa harapan ng babaing manganganak na, upang lamunin ang kaniyang anak pagkapanganak niya.
His tail draws after it a third of the stars in the heavens, and it hurled them down on the earth. The Dragon is standing in front of the woman who is about to give birth to the child, so that he may devour it as soon as it is born.
5 At siya'y nanganak ng isang anak na lalake, na maghahari na may panghampas na bakal sa lahat ng mga bansa: at ang kaniyang anak ay inagaw na dinala hanggang sa Dios, at hanggang sa kaniyang luklukan.
The woman gave birth to a son, a male child, who is destined to rule all the nations with an iron rod; and her child was at once caught up to God on his throne.
6 At tumakas ang babae sa ilang, na doon siya'y ipinaghanda ng Dios ng isang dako, upang doon siya ampuning isang libo dalawang daan at anim na pung araw.
But the woman fled into the wilderness, where there is a place prepared for her by God, to be tended there for twelve hundred and sixty days.
7 At nagkaroon ng pagbabaka sa langit: si Miguel at ang kaniyang mga anghel ay nakipagbaka sa dragon; at ang dragon at ang kaniyang mga anghel ay nakipagbaka;
Then a battle took place in the heavens. Michael and his angels fought with the Dragon. But though the Dragon, with his angels, fought,
8 At hindi sila nanganalo, ni nasumpungan pa man ang kanilang dako sa langit.
he did not prevail; and there was no place left for them any longer in the heavens.
9 At inihagis ang malaking dragon, ang matandang ahas, ang tinatawag na Diablo at Satanas, ang dumadaya sa buong sanglibutan; siya'y inihagis sa lupa, at ang kaniyang mga anghel ay inihagis na kasama niya.
Then the great Dragon, the primeval snake, known as the “devil” and “Satan,” who deceives all the world, was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him.
10 At narinig ko ang isang malakas na tinig sa langit, na nagsasabi, Ngayo'y dumating ang kaligtasan, at ang kapangyarihan, at ang kaharian ng ating Dios, at ang kapamahalaan ng kaniyang Cristo: sapagka't inihagis na ang tagapagsumbong sa ating mga kapatid na siyang sa kanila'y nagsusumbong sa harapan ng ating Dios araw at gabi.
And I heard a loud voice in heaven which said – “Now has begun the day of the salvation, and Power, and Dominion of our God, and the Rule of his Christ; for the Accuser of our people has been hurled down, he who has been accusing them before our God day and night.
11 At siya'y kanilang dinaig dahil sa dugo ng Cordero, at dahil sa salita ng kanilang patotoo, at hindi nila inibig ang kanilang buhay hanggang sa kamatayan.
Their victory was due to the blood of the Lamb, and to the message to which they bore their testimony. In their love of life they shrank not from death.
12 Kaya't mangagalak kayo, Oh mga langit at kayong nagsisitahan diyan. Sa aba ng lupa at ng dagat: sapagka't ang diablo'y bumaba sa inyo, na may malaking galit, sa pagkaalam niya na kaunting panahon na lamang mayroon siya.
Therefore, be glad, heaven, and all who live in heaven! Alas for the earth and for the sea, for the devil has gone down to you in great fury, knowing that he has but little time.”
13 At nang makita ng dragon na siya'y inihagis sa lupa, ay inusig niya ang babaing nanganak ng sanggol na lalake.
When the Dragon saw that he was hurled down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.
14 At sa babae'y ibinigay ang dalawang pakpak ng agilang malaki, upang ilipad sa ilang mula sa harap ng ahas hanggang sa kaniyang tahanan, na pinagkandilihan sa kaniyang isang panahon, at mga panahon, at kalahati ng isang panahon.
But to the woman were given the two wings of the great eagle, so that she might fly to her place in the wilderness, where she is being tended for one year, and for two years, and for half a year in safety from the snake.
15 At ang ahas ay nagbuga sa kaniyang bibig sa likuran ng babae ng tubig na gaya ng isang ilog, upang maipatangay siya sa agos.
Then the snake poured water from its mouth after the woman, like a river, so that it might sweep her away.
16 At tinulungan ng lupa ang babae, at ibinuka ang kaniyang bibig at nilamon ang ilog na ibinuga ng dragon sa kaniyang bibig.
But Earth came to her help, and opened her mouth and drank up the river which the Dragon had poured out of its mouth.
17 At nagalit ang dragon sa babae, at umalis upang bumaka sa nalabi sa kaniyang binhi, na siyang nagsisitupad ng mga utos ng Dios, at mga may patotoo ni Jesus:
The Dragon was enraged at the woman, and went to fight with the rest of her offspring – those who lay to heart the commands of God and bear their testimony to Jesus;
