Pahayag 12
1 Isang dakilang tanda ang nakita sa langit: isang babae na dinamitan ng araw, at ang buwan ay nasa ilalim ng kaniyang paa; at nasa ulo niya ay korona ng labing dalawang bituin
And a great marvel was seen in Heaven-- a woman who was robed with the sun and had the moon under her feet, and had also a wreath of stars round her head, was with child,
2 Siya ay buntis at sumisigaw sa sakit ng pagsisilang—sa sakit ng panganganak.
and she was crying out in the pains and agony of childbirth.
3 At may isa pang tanda ang nakita sa langit. Tingnan mo! May isang malaking pulang dragon na may pitong ulo at sampung sungay, at may pitong korona sa kaniyang mga ulo.
And another marvel was seen in Heaven--a great fiery-red Dragon, with seven heads and ten horns; and on his heads were seven kingly crowns.
4 Tinaboy ng kaniyang buntot ang ikatlong bahagi ng mga bituin sa langit at inihulog pababa sa lupa. Tumayo ang dragon sa harap ng babae na malapit nang magsilang, kaya nang siya ay nagsilang, gusto niyang ay lamunin ang kaniyang anak.
His tail was drawing after it a third part of the stars of Heaven, and it dashed them to the ground. And in front of the woman who was about to become a mother, the Dragon was standing in order to devour the child as soon as it was born.
5 Nagsilang siya ng isang anak, isang batang lalaki, na siyang maghahari sa lahat ng mga bansa nang may tungkod na bakal. Inagaw ang kaniyang anak papunta sa Diyos at sa kaniyang trono,
She gave birth to a son--a male child, destined before long to rule all nations with an iron scepter. But her child was caught up to God and His throne,
6 at tumakas ang babae papunta sa ilang, kung saan inihanda ng Diyos ng lugar para sa kaniya, kaya maalagaan siya ng 1, 260 araw.
and the woman fled into the Desert, there to be cared for, for 1,260 days, in a place which God had prepared for her.
7 Ngayon may labanan doon sa langit. Si Michael at ang kaniyang mga anghel ay nakipaglaban sa dragon; at lumaban pabalik ang dragon at ang kaniyang mga anghel.
And war broke out in Heaven, Michael and his angels engaging in battle with the Dragon.
8 Pero ang dragon ay hindi gaanong malakas para manalo. Kaya wala ng natitirang lugar sa langit para sa kaniya at sa kaniyang mga anghel.
The Dragon fought and so did his angels; but they were defeated, and there was no longer any room found for them in Heaven.
9 Ang dakilang dragon — ang dating ahas na tinawag na demonyo o Satanas na nanlilinlang sa buong mundo— ay tinapon pababa sa lupa, at ang kaniyang mga anghel ay itinapon pababa kasama siya.
The great Dragon, the ancient serpent, he who is called 'the Devil' and 'the Adversary' and leads the whole earth astray, was hurled down: he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him.
10 Pagkatapos narinig ko ang isang malakas na tinig sa langit, “Ngayon narito na ang kaligtasan, ang kapangyarihan — at ang kaharian ng ating Diyos, at ang kapangyarihan ng kaniyang Cristo. Dahil ang taga-paratang ng ating mga kapatid ay naitapon na pababa — siyang nagparatang sa kanila araw at gabi sa harap ng ating Diyos.
Then I heard a loud voice speaking in Heaven. It said, "The salvation and the power and the Kingdom of our God have now come, and the sovereignty of His Christ; for the accuser of our brethren has been hurled down--he who, day after day and night after night, was wont to accuse them in the presence of God.
11 Siya ay kanilang nilupig sa pamamagitan ng dugo ng Kordero at sa pamamagitan ng kanilang patotoo, dahil hindi nila minahal ang kanilang buhay nang higit, kahit sa kamatayan.
But they have gained the victory over him because of the blood of the Lamb and of the testimony which they have borne, and because they held their lives cheap and did not shrink even from death.
12 Kaya, magalak, kayong mga langit, at lahat ng naninirahan sa kanila. Pero kaawa-awa ang nasa lupa at ang nasa dagat dahil ang demonyo ay bumaba sa inyo. Napuno siya ng nakasisindak na galit, dahil alam niya na kakaunti lamang ang kaniyang oras.
For this reason be glad, O Heaven, and you who live in Heaven! Alas for the earth and the sea! For the Devil has come down to you; full of fierce anger, because he knows that his appointed time is short."
13 Nang mapagtanto ng dragon na siya ay itinapon sa lupa, hinanap niya ang babaing nagsilang ng batang lalaki.
And when the Dragon saw that he was hurled down to the earth, he went in pursuit of the woman who had given birth to the male child.
14 Pero ang babae ay binigyan ng dalawang pakpak ng isang malaking agila, kaya siya ay nakalipad sa lugar na inihanda para sa kaniya sa ilang, ang lugar kung saan siya mapapangalagaan, sa loob ng isang oras, maraming oras at kalahating oras—na malayong maabot ng ahas.
Then, the two wings of a great eagle were given to the woman to enable her to fly away into the Desert to the place assigned her, there to be cared for, for a period of time, two periods of time, and half a period of time, beyond the reach of the serpent.
15 Nagbuga ng tubig mula sa kaniyang bibig ang ahas tulad ng isang ilog, kaya nakagawa ng isang baha para tangayin siya.
And the serpent poured water from his mouth--a very river it seemed--after the woman, in the hope that she would be carried away by its flood.
16 Pero tinulungan ng lupa ang babae. Binuksan nito ang kaniyang bibig at nilunok ng ilog ang binuga ng dragon mula sa kaniyang bibig.
But the earth came to the woman's help: it opened its mouth and drank up the river which the Dragon had poured from his mouth.
17 Pagkatapos sumiklab ang galit ng dragon sa babae at umalis para makipagdigma sa mga natitirang kaapu-apuhan niya - silang mga sumunod sa mga kautusan ng Diyos at pinanghawakan ang mga patotoo tungkol kay Jesus.
This made the Dragon furiously angry with the woman, and he went elsewhere to make war upon her other children--those who keep God's commandments and hold fast to the testimony of Jesus.
