Apocalypsis 12
1 Et signum magnum apparuit in cælo: Mulier amicta sole, et luna sub pedibus eius, et in capite eius corona stellarum duodecim:
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 et in utero habens, clamabat parturiens, et cruciabatur ut pariat.
She was with child; and she cried out, travailing in birth, in anguish to be delivered.
3 Et visum est aliud signum in cælo: et ecce draco magnus rufus habens capita septem, et cornua decem: et in capitibus eius diademata septem,
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 et cauda eius trahebat tertiam partem stellarum cæli, et misit eas in terram, et draco stetit ante mulierem, quæ erat paritura: ut cum peperisset, filium eius devoraret.
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 Et peperit filium masculum, qui recturus erat omnes gentes in virga ferrea: et raptus est filius eius ad Deum, et ad thronum eius,
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 et mulier fugit in solitudinem ubi habebat locum paratum a Deo, ut ibi pascant eam diebus mille ducentis sexaginta.
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 Et factum est prælium magnum in cælo: Michael et Angeli eius præliabantur cum dracone, et draco pugnabat, et Angeli eius:
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 et non valuerunt, neque locus inventus est eorum amplius in cælo.
but they failed, nor was their place found any more in heaven.
9 Et proiectus est draco ille magnus, serpens antiquus, qui vocatur diabolus, et Satanas, qui seducit universum orbem: et proiectus est in terram, et Angeli eius cum illo missi sunt.
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 Et audivi vocem magnam in cælo dicentem: Nunc facta est salus, et virtus, et regnum Dei nostri, et potestas Christi eius: quia proiectus est accusator fratrum nostrorum, qui accusabat illos ante conspectum Dei nostri die ac nocte.
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 Et ipsi vicerunt eum propter sanguinem Agni, et propter verbum testimonii sui, et non dilexerunt animas suas usque ad mortem.
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 Propterea lætamini cæli, et qui habitatis in eis. Væ terræ, et mari, quia descendit diabolus ad vos, habens iram magnam, sciens quod modicum tempus habet.
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 Et postquam vidit draco quod proiectus esset in terram, persecutus est mulierem, quæ peperit masculum:
When the dragon saw that he was hurled down to the earth, he pursued the woman who gave birth to the man child.
14 et datæ sunt mulieri alæ duæ aquilæ magnæ ut volaret in desertum in locum suum, ubi alitur per tempus et tempora, et dimidium temporis a facie serpentis.
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 Et misit serpens ex ore suo post mulierem, aquam tamquam flumen, ut eam faceret trahi a flumine.
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 Et adiuvit terra mulierem, et aperuit terra os suum, et absorbuit flumen, quod misit draco de ore suo.
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 Et iratus est draco in mulierem: et abiit facere prælium cum reliquis de semine eius, qui custodiunt mandata Dei, et habent testimonium Iesu Christi.
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.
