< Revelation 12 >

1 A great sign appeared in the sky: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
ⲁ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲡⲡⲉ ⲁ ⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲙⲙⲏⲓⲛⲓ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲉⲥϫⲟⲗϩ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓⲓⲟϩ ⲥⲁⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲥ ϭⲁⲗⲁⲩϫ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲭⲗⲟⲙ ⲉϥⲧⲟⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲧⲉⲥⲁⲫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ⳿ⲛⲥⲓⲟⲩ.
2 And being pregnant she was crying out in labor, being in great pain to give birth.

3 And another sign appeared in the sky: wow, a dragon, huge, fiery red, having seven heads and ten horns, with seven diadems on his heads.
ⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲕⲉⲙⲏⲓⲛⲓ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲓⲥ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲇⲣⲁⲕⲱⲛ ⳿ⲛⲁⲟⲩⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲭⲣⲱⲙ ⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲉⲙⲁϣⲱ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲍ̅ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲁⲫⲉ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲓ̅ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲡ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲍ̅ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲭⲗⲟⲙ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲉϥ⳿ⲁⲫⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ.
4 And its tail grabbed a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth in order to devour her Child as soon as she gave birth.

5 And she bore a Son, a male, who would shepherd all the nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was snatched up to God, even to His throne.

6 And the woman fled into the wilderness to where she has a place prepared by God, so that they may nourish her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.

7 War was declared in heaven; Michael and his angels were to wage war with the dragon; so the dragon and his angels made war,

8 but he was not strong enough; neither was there any place found for him in heaven any more.

9 So the great dragon was expelled, that ancient serpent, who is called Slanderer and Satan, who deceives the whole inhabited world; he was thrown into the earth, and his angels were expelled with him.

10 And I heard a loud voice in the heaven saying: “Now the salvation and the power have come, even the Kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ, because the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accused them before our God day and night.

11 And they conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not cherish their lives, even up to death.

12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, yes, you who are dwelling in them! Woe to the earth and the sea! Because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has little time.”

13 So when the dragon perceived that he had been thrown into the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the Male.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲧⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲇⲣⲁⲕⲱⲛ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩϩⲓⲧϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡⲕⲁϩⲓ ⲁϥϭⲟϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ϯ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲑⲏ ⲉⲧⲁⲥⲙⲓⲥⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲱⲟⲩⲧ.
14 And to the woman were given two wings of the great eagle, so that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, so that she might be nourished there for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲁⲥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛϩ ⲃ̅ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁ ⲟⲩⲁϧⲱⲙ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲥϩⲱⲗ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϣⲁϥⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ϯ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲫⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲁϣⲁⲛⲟⲩϣⲥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲧⲫⲁϣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁ ⳿ⲡϩⲟ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϩⲟϥ.
15 So the serpent expelled water from his mouth after the woman, like a river, so as to cause her to be overwhelmed by the flood.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓϩⲟϥ ⲁϥϩⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲣⲱϥ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲓⲁⲣⲟ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲥⲁⲫⲁϩⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϯ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ.
16 But the ground helped the woman; indeed, the ground opened its mouth and drank up the river that the dragon expelled from his mouth.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲡⲕⲁϩⲓ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⳿ⲛⲣⲱϥ ⲁϥⲟⲙⲕ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲓⲁⲣⲟ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲁ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲇⲣⲁⲕⲱⲛ ϩⲓⲧϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲫⲁϩⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϯ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ.
17 So the dragon was furious about the woman and off he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, those who keep the commands of God and hold the testimony of Jesus.
