< Revelation 12 >

1 Then a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head.
και σημειον μεγα ωφθη εν τω ουρανω γυνη περιβεβλημενη τον ηλιον και η σεληνη υποκατω των ποδων αυτης και επι της κεφαλης αυτης στεφανος αστερων δωδεκα
2 She was with child and cried out in the pain and agony of giving birth.
και εν γαστρι εχουσα εκραζεν ωδινουσα και βασανιζομενη τεκειν
3 Then another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great fiery red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads.
και ωφθη αλλο σημειον εν τω ουρανω και ιδου δρακων πυρρος μεγας εχων κεφαλας επτα και κερατα δεκα και επι τας κεφαλας αυτου επτα διαδηματα
4 His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven and hurled them to the earth. Then the dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her child.
και η ουρα αυτου συρει το τριτον των αστερων του ουρανου και εβαλεν αυτους εις την γην και ο δρακων εστηκεν ενωπιον της γυναικος της μελλουσης τεκειν ινα οταν τεκη το τεκνον αυτης καταφαγη
5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to God and to his throne.
και ετεκεν υιον αρρενα ος μελλει ποιμαινειν παντα τα εθνη εν ραβδω σιδηρα και ηρπασθη το τεκνον αυτης προς τον θεον και προς τον θρονον αυτου
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where God had a place prepared for her to be nourished for one thousand two hundred sixty days.
και η γυνη εφυγεν εις την ερημον οπου εχει εκει τοπον ητοιμασμενον απο του θεου ινα εκει τρεφωσιν αυτην ημερας χιλιας διακοσιας εξηκοντα
7 Then war broke out in heaven; Michael and his angels fought against the dragon. And the dragon fought back, along with his angels.
και εγενετο πολεμος εν τω ουρανω ο μιχαηλ και οι αγγελοι αυτου [ του ] πολεμησαι μετα του δρακοντος και ο δρακων επολεμησεν και οι αγγελοι αυτου
8 But he did not prevail, and there was no longer any place found for him in heaven.
και ουκ ισχυσεν ουδε τοπος ευρεθη αυτω ετι εν τω ουρανω
9 The great dragon was thrown down, the old serpent, 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.
και εβληθη ο δρακων ο οφις ο μεγας ο αρχαιος ο καλουμενος διαβολος και [ ο ] σατανας ο πλανων την οικουμενην ολην εβληθη εις την γην και οι αγγελοι αυτου μετ αυτου εβληθησαν
10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven saying, “The salvation, power, and kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ, have now come. For the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, he who accuses them day and night before our God.
και ηκουσα φωνην μεγαλην εν τω ουρανω λεγουσαν αρτι εγενετο η σωτηρια και η δυναμις και η βασιλεια του θεου ημων και η εξουσια του χριστου αυτου οτι εβληθη ο κατηγορος των αδελφων ημων ο κατηγορων αυτων ενωπιον του θεου ημων ημερας και νυκτος
11 They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so as to shy away from death.
και αυτοι ενικησαν αυτον δια το αιμα του αρνιου και δια τον λογον της μαρτυριας αυτων και ουκ ηγαπησαν την ψυχην αυτων αχρι θανατου
12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you with great wrath, because he knows that his time is short.”
δια τουτο ευφραινεσθε ουρανοι και οι εν αυτοις σκηνουντες ουαι την γην και την θαλασσαν οτι κατεβη ο διαβολος προς υμας εχων θυμον μεγαν ειδως οτι ολιγον καιρον εχει
13 When the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.
και οτε ειδεν ο δρακων οτι εβληθη εις την γην εδιωξεν την γυναικα ητις ετεκεν τον αρρενα
14 But the woman was given two wings like those of a great eagle so that she could fly away from the presence of the serpent to her place in the wilderness, to be nourished there for a time, times, and half a time.
και εδοθησαν τη γυναικι δυο πτερυγες του αετου του μεγαλου ινα πετηται εις την ερημον εις τον τοπον αυτης οπως τρεφηται εκει καιρον και καιρους και ημισυ καιρου απο προσωπου του οφεως
15 Then out of his mouth the serpent spewed water like a river after the woman, to sweep her away with a flood.
και εβαλεν ο οφις εκ του στοματος αυτου οπισω της γυναικος υδωρ ως ποταμον ινα αυτην ποταμοφορητον ποιηση
16 But the earth helped the woman by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that the dragon had spewed out of his mouth.
και εβοηθησεν η γη τη γυναικι και ηνοιξεν η γη το στομα αυτης και κατεπιεν τον ποταμον ον εβαλεν ο δρακων εκ του στοματος αυτου
17 So the dragon was angry with the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring, those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus.
και ωργισθη ο δρακων επι τη γυναικι και απηλθεν ποιησαι πολεμον μετα των λοιπων του σπερματος αυτης των τηρουντων τας εντολας του θεου και εχοντων την μαρτυριαν ιησου
