< Αποκαλυψις Ιωαννου 12 >

1 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
And a great sign was seen in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a diadem of twelve stars.
2 και εν γαστρι εχουσα εκραζεν ωδινουσα και βασανιζομενη τεκειν
She was with child; and she cried out, travailing in birth, in anguish to be delivered.
3 και ωφθη αλλο σημειον εν τω ουρανω και ιδου δρακων πυροσ μεγασ εχων κεφαλασ επτα και κερατα δεκα και επι τασ κεφαλασ αυτου επτα διαδηματα
And another sign was seen in heaven; and lo, a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and upon his head seven diadems.
4 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
His tail drew a third part of the stars of the sky, and dashed them down to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman about to be delivered, so that he might devour her child when she was delivered.
5 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
And she gave birth to a son, a man child, who is to shepherd all the nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up unto God and unto his throne.
6 και η γυνη εφυγεν εισ την ερημον οπου εχει εκει τοπον ητοιμασμενον υπο του θεου ινα εκει εκτρεφωσιν αυτην ημερασ χιλιασ διακοσιασ εξηκοντα
And the woman fled into the desert, where she has a place prepared by God, in which she is to be nourished for a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
7 και εγενετο πολεμοσ εν τω ουρανω ο μιχαηλ και οι αγγελοι αυτου πολεμησαι μετα του δρακοντοσ και ο δρακων επολεμησεν και οι αγγελοι αυτου
And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels went forth to war with the dragon; and the dragon also fought, and his angels;
8 και ουκ ισχυσεν ουδε τοποσ ευρεθη αυτω ετι εν τω ουρανω
but they failed, nor was their place found any more in heaven.
9 και εβληθη ο δρακων ο μεγασ ο οφισ ο αρχαιοσ ο καλουμενοσ διαβολοσ και σατανασ ο πλανων την οικουμενην ολην εβληθη εισ την γην και οι αγγελοι αυτου μετ αυτου εβληθησαν
Now the great dragon was thrown down - that old Serpent, he 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.
10 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
And I heard a great voice in heaven, which said. "Now it is come! the salvation and the power, The kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ! For the accuser of our brethren is thrown down, Who accused them before our God, day and night.
11 και αυτοι ενικησαν αυτον δια το αιμα του αρνιου και δια τον λογον τησ μαρτυριασ αυτων και ουκ ηγαπησαν την ψυχην αυτων αχρι θανατου
And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb, And by the word of their testimony; And they loved not their life, even unto death.
12 δια τουτο ευφραινεσθε ουρανοι και οι εν αυτοισ σκηνουντεσ ουαι τη γη και τη θαλασση οτι κατεβη ο διαβολοσ προσ υμασ εχων θυμον μεγαν ειδωσ οτι ολιγον καιρον εχει
Therefore rejoice, O heavens, And you who dwell therein! Woe to the earth and the sea! For the devil has gone down to you in great fury, Because he knows that he has but little time."
13 και οτε ειδεν ο δρακων οτι εβληθη εισ την γην εδιωξεν την γυναικα ητισ ετεκεν τον αρρενα
When the dragon saw that he was hurled down to the earth, he pursued the woman who gave birth to the man child.
14 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
But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle, so that she might fly into the desert to her place where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
15 και εβαλεν ο οφισ εκ του στοματοσ αυτου οπισω τησ γυναικοσ υδωρ ωσ ποταμον ινα αυτην ποταμοφορητον ποιηση
And the serpent poured water from his mouth after the woman, water like a river, so that he might cause her to be carried off by the stream.
16 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
But the earth came to the rescue of the woman and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the river that the dragon had poured forth from his mouth.
17 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
And the dragon was enraged at the woman, and went away to make war upon the rest of her children who keep the commandments of God, and hold fast the testimony of Jesus. And he stood upon the sand of the sea.
